Love Hurts

Homecoming Part 2

Harry came to the table with drinks and food for us. "You didn't have to get this for me. I'm capable of getting my own stuff." I said taking the food anyway. It was here and I'm hungry, don't judge. "Well what type of date would I be if I didn't." He said giving me a cheeky smile. "Hey can I show you something?" Harry said holding his hand out to me. "UH sure?" I said uncertain I wanted to see. He  took my hand and lead me to the roof of the school. The school sat on a hill so it had a magnificent view. I gasped, it looked so beautiful. I've went to this school for four years and  I've never been up here! "This beautiful!" I gaped at the amazement of the view. You could even see big Ben! (The huge clock in London. I think that's the name) "This is... wow! How did you find this?" I looked at him and he had a blanket set out and he was sitting on it. I sat next to him and he said. "I came up here on the first day of school. That's why I was late to English." He replied to me.  There was a cold breeze causing me to shiver. Harry noticed and wrapped his blazer around me. He then wrapped his arms around me.  "This is beautiful. I can't believe this view." He looked at it and said " I just wanted someone to share it with me."  He then looked at me. He closed his eyes and leaned in as I did the same. He pressed his soft lips against mine. Sparks of electricity flew through the air as our lips moved in sync. His lips turned up into a smile. As did mine, time seemed frozen and it was just the two of us. There was no worries or anything it was just.... us. As he broke the kiss I let out a small whine. I looked at him longingly wanting his lips to return to mine. "You're beautiful. You know that?" He said small pants escaping his mouth. Me beautiful? "Really? You not just saying that?" I asked ready for him to say he was kidding. "No I'm not just saying that. I mean it. It's everything about you (See what I did there ;)  ) you nice and funny and your're understanding. You being gorgeous is just a bonus." He winked at me making my cheeks turn a beet red. "Thanks" Was all I could say. "Your not bad yourself." I said playfully. He let a low chuckle leave his throat. But then I realized what was happening. I look into those big green eyes and start to mentally break. He reads my face and pulls me in for a hug. But I pull away. 'No' I think to myself. 'I can't do this not again.' He give me a confused look and says "Claire, what's wrong?" I sit there admiring how my name rolls off his lips. I know he won't hurt me. But I can't take a chance. I can't fall for someone again, not after Collin. No I wont allow myself. He has a even more confused look as I say "Umm I should go inside. The girls are probably looking for me." I start to get up and walk away I turn around one more time and see he looks heartbroken. He looks they way I did after what happened this summer. I can't do that someone. Especially not him. I sigh walk back over and say "Harry I like you. I like you a little to much and I think I'm falling for you. But I can't because I will just end up getting hurt again." He looks at me with confusion hurt and back again. "What do you mean you can't fall 'again'?" 

 "Well... um it's a long story. It's kinda complicated too." I said unsure I wanted to tell him. I mean I hardly know him and my friends don't even know yet. "I'm sure I can keep up."He said, his intense green eyes staring at me. 

"Well, uh you see this summer I went to The States to visit my aunt Sara and Uncle Kyle." I said "Wait why don't they live here like you and the rest of your family?" He asked. "Well my Aunt went to America on a business trip, met my Uncle Kyle and fell in love. So she stayed there. But anyway," I continued. "I went there to visit and I met a guy named Collin who lived in the neighborhood. I thought he was perfect. He was really cute and he was nice and considerate. He asked me out and I said yes. He was sweet at first. He even told me he loved me, but after about a month and a half, he wanted to get in my pants. I said no, but he kept asking so I said yes eventually. He cheated on me a week after, but I stayed with him. One night he was drunk and I went to his house. He had sex with another girl. I flipped out on him he got mad and hit me. He said I needed to be punished and he raped me. He said he didn't really love me he just wanted me for sex." I Told Harry tears now brimming my eyes. He just looked shocked. "So you see? He hurt me physically and mentally. So if I don't fall in love I don't get hurt." I said my voice cracking and tears now flowing freely down my face. He looked like he was going to cry as he said "Claire, what Collin did was wrong. Very wrong, but you need to know not all guys are like him. I like you a lot and I wanted to call you mine. I would never ever do those things to you, and I most definatly make you do something you're not comfortable doing." I look at him with longing eyes. I sighed then said "I like you a lot as well, but.." I didn't know what to say. "But what? Look I understand if you don't want to be with me but can we at least be friends? I need you in my life, I can't go around knowing there is a beautiful girl that hates my guts." I looked at him tears still flowing, he took his thumbs and wiped them out my eyes. I needed him, I can't be without him. I pulled him in for a kiss, He pulled me on my lap. At first he was gentle and careful. But after a little bit, the kiss got more heated. His dragged his tongue over my bottom lip asking for entrance which I gladly allowed. Our tongues fought for dominace but he won. He pulled me in closer until there was no space between us. But before things went to far we heard an annoucement from the gym "The Homecoming dance will be ending in 10 minutes please starrt getting your things together and making sure you have rides home." We looked at each other. Have we really been up here that long? He smiled at me then grabbde my hand. "We should probably go meet everyone, they must be wondering where we are." He squeezed my hand and I got off his lap. He got up and put they blanket by some boxes. I gave him back his blazer and we went to go meet our friends.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN CLAIRE?" Eleanor yelled at me as I returned " WE'VE BENN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YO...." She trailed off as she saw Harry behind me. She let her lips turn up into a smirk and said "Oh, ok umm I know where you've been now."She looked at Harry and I. "It's not like that El" I said in a whisper. She didn't believe my lie. "OK, sure I'll just be by Louis" She said winking and walking away. She whispered something in Lou's ear and he winked at me. The walked out of the gym after. "Ok well do you want a ride home?" Harry asked me. "Uh yea sure, thanks." I said with a smile. We walked out the gym and he led me to his black Range Rover. He helped me up into the passenger side and closed the door. He then got in and started it. The familiar sound of an engine roared. He pulled out of the space and turned on the music. The song Carry On by Fun was on. "May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and Carry On." Harry sang. I was suprised at how well he can sing "Your a good singer." I said "Thanks, I  get that a lot." He replied. We sat in silence for the rest of the 5 miute car ride, but it was a comfortable silence. He put his hand in mine and I intwined my fingers into his. I looked  him and we smiled at each other. When we pulled into my drive Harry said " I had a great time." I smiled at him and said "me too." as I tried to get out the car he said "Umm do you maybe wanna go out with me?  Like be my girlfriend?" He looked at me with scared eyes. "I would love that." I replied, he pulled me in for a quick peck on th lips and smiled. "See you at school Monday?" He said his eyes now light, almost like tHhey were glow in the dark. "Yep, see then." I said as I got out the car. I went inside to shower and then I laid on my bed. Going to sleep the happiest girl in the world.
