Behind Fame (A Harry Styles Fan-Fic)

Chapter 14

Harry's P.O.V

I let out a deep breath and squeeze my eyes shut tighter to avoid the morning light.

Yesterday night finally comes to my mind.

Is she here?

I feel her small hand on the back of my neck and her leg wrapped around both of mine. I smile, before opening my eyes to the beautiful girl who's eyes were closed, lips parted, with a small bit of mascara underneath her delicate eyes.

I can't describe how happy I am she stayed with me. I can't help myself and before I know it find my thumb tracing the outlines of her beautiful face and bare shoulders. Her tan skin was as soft as rose petals.

I realise I'm smiling like an idiot as I lay my head on the soft pillow less than an inch from her head. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her body closer to mine, the electricity running through me. There were times when I simply just wanted to rip her clothes off as perverted as that may sound. I've tried to stop my usual perverted jokes around her. I have let out a few over time though, simply not being able to help myself.

I have a small feeling she's holding something back from me. She never really let's loose completely, she's always that little bit tense. Although thinking about it, I can't blame her. If someone who was my boyfriend physically hurt her, I would have a few problems with trust as well.

I can't bare the idea of someone hurting my Laura... It was just so sickening I wanted to hit that sick ex of hers right in the jaw, hurt him back. How dare he hurt someone as lovely, delicate, beautiful, kind, caring and gentle as Laura. I looked at her face as her eyelids fluttered, yet she continued to sleep peacefully.

What could I do to surprise her?

Sounds cheesy and obvious, but the least I can do for her after her coming here on such short notice last night is cook her breakfast.

I slide out from her soft grip and she moans lightly. A beautiful sound in my opinion.

I realise I didn't give her any comfortable clothes last night. Then again, I did fall asleep before her, but I really should have. And I really did love the thought of her in one of my knits or tops.

I walk slowly to the bedroom door, hoping the polished floor boards beneath me won't squeak loudly.

I sigh with relief as I make it to the hall way without waking her at all. I walk into Louis room to check if he actually came back lat night, or just ended up spending the night at El's.

Nope. Spent the night. I look at his empty bed and around his messy room.

As I nearly reach the kitchen I freeze to listen carefully, as I hear gasping coming directly from my bedroom.

I turn on my heel and jog towards the bedroom in a major panic. I swing the door open to find a gasping Laura thrashing against the bed, obviously having a terrible dream. I gasp with shock and unfreeze my body and run towards her side of the bed, kneeling down beside her and cupping my hands on both sides of her shaking body.

"Laura" I whisper. She continues to thrash violently.

"Laura!" I say loudly, she suddenly awakes, her eyes fluttering open once more, her ocean blue eyes looking directly into my green eyes. She has small beads of sweat on her forehead and nose.

"It's okay love, everything's fine. I promise" I say, looking into her terror filled eyes.

"Harry..." she whispers, pulling me onto the bed to lay with her. I sweep a loose strand of hair behind her small ear, before pulling her close to me and placing my head on the soft pillow yet again.

"Do you want to talk about it love?" I ask cautiously.

"I'm... I don't know?" She says. Her big brown eyes begin to fill with tears.

"I. Am. Forever. With. You."

And at that the tears welling in her brown eyes spilled over violently as her chest ripped into sobs which she failed to control.

I couldn't bare to see her like this. It made my chest ache with pain. Real physical pain. I hug her closer, wrapping my arms tightly around her, our noses touching, hers slightly wet from her tears.

"It will help honey. Telling people who you can trust makes things easier to understand, talk about and move on from. I know, I've been through some things too, like my parents splitting and past problems, but I always talked to my mum, dad, Robin, or even the boys and I always felt better. Always."

"You might be afraid of me Harry..." Laura sobs into my chest and moves her head back up level with mine. Her words worry me a small bit. I know in movies and stuff you always see the character say 'you'll run away from me if you know the truth' then the lover always says 'I'll stay with you no matter what' then they confess something big and shocking and the lover leaves forever. But I promise myself I won't do that to her, even to myslef. Laura means too much to me already. I don't think I could actually bare to leave her even I tried and it's only been a week since we were brought together.

"I promise you Laura. I will. Never. Be afraid of you" I say every word carefully, hoping she knows she can trust me with anything and everything. I mean everything I say to her. I would never lie to her, or let her down.

"Okay" She replies in a barely audible whisper, her voice cracking.

She moves to sit up on the bed and I copy her then leaning my back against the white plain wooden bed frame. I take both of her small hands in mine and look into her eyes and give her a small supporting nod. I didn't know what was to come, but I knew it wouldn't be the lightest of topics and seeing her like this showed that this was something that seriously had or still is hurting her.

She takes a shaky deep breath, before slowly beginning her talk. I squeeze her hands lightly.
