Save You (Harry Styles fanfic)

Chapter 15

**Harry's POV**

"I don't think you need to move everything. There's already plenty of space in here." I insisted whilst Skyler continued pushing the sofa into the corner of the room.

"True, but I don't want any of my things ruined if that's okay with you." She huffed, brushing her hands together and eyeing the sofa's position with satisfactory.

I was really beginning to worry about these training sessions. I was worried about how long they would take and if they would be too difficult. Hey, I'm just eager to get back to my normal life, wouldn't you be? I've come to realise that this is an extremely stupid idea but my life is already at risk anyway, I might as well put it to use.

Once Skyler was done placing the blue cushioned mats over the white cemented floor, her bare feet padded over to me. She was wearing a long sleeved black top along with black leggings and her blond hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I was wearing a black AC/DC vest top with grey joggers and a sweatband, also bare foot.

"Alright. The first thing you need to learn is how to defend yourself." She begins, tugging at her training gloves that were similar to mine, only they were red instead of black. "Do you know any basic moves?"

"Oh yeah! Plenty." I smirked, winking at her.

She pulled a poker face and folded her arms. "Quit being a pervert and focus, or I'll put a hole in your head."

I raised my arms in surrender. "Alright, alright! I know a few."

She nodded. "Alright then. Care to show me?"

I shrugged. "Sure."

"Alright." She said, taking a few strides away from me. "I'm gonna come at you from the front. Think you can defend yourself?"

"Woah woah woah, hold up, we're doing this now? Like, right now?"

"Yes, right now! You ready?" She asked, a little irritated.

"Uhh...hold on." I spread my legs apart a little and held my fists up. "O-okay."

She immediately started dashing towards me and I instantly began to panic. She thrust her right fist forward and then her left which I dodged, keeping my hands up in front of my face. I realised that that was a bad idea when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I instantly doubled over and Skyler quickly spun around and caught me in a head-lock. I struggled in her grasp as her arms tightened around my neck.

"Come on, Styles! Focus!" She yelled down at me.

I tried my best to unravel her arms but she was stronger than she looked. I suddenly elbowed her in the stomach and that loosened her grip a little so I did it twice more and managed to slip out of the head-lock. Once I did, I shoved her shoulders causing her to stagger back a little. She raised a brow at me, looking disappointed.

"A shove? That's it? That's what you'd do in a real fight?"

"W-well it's just that...I already elbowed you three times, I didn't want to hurt you any more than that..." I stuttered, feeling a little stupid.

She chuckled. "Hurt me? Believe me, hot-shot, I didn't feel a thing."

I pulled a face, slightly insulted.

"Now stop being a pussy and start fighting for real!" She urged.

I rolled my eyes and held my fists up again, taking a few deep breaths to steady myself. She charged at me just like she did before and aimed for my stomach. I just about slipped out of the way and caught her fist, suddenly spinning her around until her arm was against her back in a lock. I pushed it up and I felt her tense.
