DARKNESS.

Cannot Drive out Darkness,

Only Light Can Do That.

HATE.

Cannot Drive Out Hate,

Only Love Can Do That.

I had spent hours in my bedroom debating whether or not I should go on this date with Harry, I mean I don't know him at all. The doorbell rang so I went down there and walked to the door. When I opened it, the guy from the other day was there again.

"What did I tell you?" He hissed.

"Excuse Me?" I asked. Who was this guy, it was boiling up inside me waiting to get set free, the suspense was eating at me inside and out.

"He will hurt you and when he does, don't be too surprised; because by then you will have already fallen for him." He stated and was about to walk away but I grabbed his arm.

"You can't just keeping showing up here, for one I don't know anything about you, not even your name; and two you have no business in who I fall for, and in a thousand years would I ever fall for Harry." I snapped.

"Dean Brookes, and trust me you'll know me." He smirked backing up and walking away, disappearing down the street.

********5:50, and I was wearing black skinny jeans, a dark black and blue checkered flannel, with converse and a black tank top underneath.

I had no choice but to go, but I do have a plan and if it doesn't work I'm screwed.

********6:00 and he still isn't here. Just then a honk outside, practically made my skin jump. Slowly I grabbed my keys and phone, and I walked out the door locking the door on the way.

"Hey love." Harry smirked at me, walking my way.

He went to grab my arm to pull me in for a hug but I jerked back. His eyes flashed black, and he let out an animalistic growl. He grabbed my arm and yanked me into him, arms rapped tight around me.

"Would you stop being so damn stubborn, it's fucking annoying." He spat and I rolled my eyes.

"I'll stop being stubborn when you cancel this date." I muttered.

"Not a chance." He smirked and grabbed my hand. "Then I guess I won't stop being stubborn." I sung. "Where are you taking me?" I huffed from the passenger seat. "You'll see now shut the hell up and just sit there." he sated rather rudely. "If you want me to be quiet and nice, I suggest you be nice to me." I said equally as rude.

"I'm still not telling you, so there is no need to ask because you would just be wasting your breath; and you'll be needing that for later." He said winking at me, I gave him a disgusted face and a small gagging noise. "You are such a pig." I snapped and he chuckled. "I know Elena." I snapped my attention towards a smirking Harry. "How do you know my name, what do you stalk me too?" I practically yelled. "Not you babe but a little son of a bitch named Dean Brookes that can't keep his shit to himself, going after what doesn't belong to him." He said calmly.

"That guy came to my house earlier." I muttered mostly to myself but of course Harry had to hear me. "What?" There was a pause and then he started yelling to himself. "I thought I told him that I didn't want him to go there again!, what did he tell you?" He growled, hands tightly around the steering wheel knuckles turning white.

"He told me to stay away from you, and that you would hurt me; but honestly I don't blame him but I told him I didn't know him and he told me his name." I stated and Harry looked at me. "Anything else?" He asked. 'Dean Brookes, and trust me you'll know me.' Flashed in my mind but I shook it out. "No." I mumbled, Harry didn't look too convinced but he just decided to drop it.

***********

"Are we there yet?" I asked.

"No." he muttered.

"How about now?" I asked.

"No." He said a bit louder.

"Now?" I huffed.

"Yes." He said. "Really?" I asked. "Nope." He confessed and I slumped down in the seat. "Why have we been driving for an hour." I asked impatiently. "Elena, shut the fuck up already damn. " I rolled my eyes. "What did I say about being nice." I scolded sarcastically. "We're here." He said and I groaned, "Finally." I went to open my door but it wouldn't budge. "Why the heck is my door on child safety lock?" I panicked. "I knew you would try and run so I safety locked your door so, we can finish this date." He simply said. "Well, let me out!" I said loudly. "If you promise to not leave or run away then I will unlock your door." I rolled my eyes and let out a long sigh. "I promise." I'm so screwed, I had a plan and now I promised not to do anything stupid.

he unlocked my door and I pushed it opened. "Dinner, you couldn't have picked a closer place?" I asked annoyed. "God damn how annoying can you get?" He groaned frustration clearly showing in his features. "You have no idea." I laughed; this is not me but for some odd reason Harry brings out a side of me I have never witnessed before.

"That's it I'm done, find your own way home." He spat, and my mouth hung open. "What? You can't just leave me here in this city or whatever I don't even know where we are!" I yelled some whet frustrated and panicked. "Oh yes I can." With that he got in his car. "For someone who made a big deal about bringing me on this dumb date, you're just going to leave me here, oh you know what never mind I know someone who will have no problem taking me home!" I yelled out to him and that caught his attention. "Who?" He asked getting out of the car and turning around beside it to face me. "Dean." I smirked and Harry tensed at the syllable of his name.

"What did you just say?" He hissed slowly sounding out each word carefully. "I said Dean, I mean he seems to have somewhat of and interest in me because he keeps popping up everywhere but I guess I can give him a call." I casually explained.

Harry was suddenly right in front of me, breathing heavy and his hot breath fanned my face. "I make you nervous." I gulped before shaking my head. "No, you don't." My voice cracking a bit, Harry let out a soft chuckle almost a sigh. "Your voice is shaky, and your heart racing so fast I can practically feel it." "I'm not scared, I just can't stand you." With that I stepped back and started walking away.

"Where do you think you're going?" He yelled out, and I just kept walking. "Away from you, I'm going home!" I yelled back.

"You don't know where you are Elena!" He yelled once more and I swiftly turned and faced him.

"It's Ellie not Elena." I told him. "I like Elena better, love." He smirked and got back in his car and drove off.

I was still less than half ways, getting directions from my GPS. It was cold and windy, a car engine caught my attention as the car stopped behind me. Dean.

"Get in the car." He demanded. "No." I mumbled and kept walking. "I thought you had a date or some shit with Harry?" He asked. "Yes I did but he left." I told him but kept walking.

Someone grabbed my hand and turned me around. "Let me go Dean." I said sternly. His grip tightened, surely leaving marks. "Now." I said weakly and he laughed. "Let. Her. Go." I heard a voice behind Dean say. Dean moved out of the way to reveal Harry. "Or what?" Dean challenged.
