Together [Sequel to Love Actually]

Chapter 27

I was sleeping pretty well, until I felt Harry tossing and turning beside me. He was all sweaty, and his face was scrunched up.



I shook his arm gently, and tried to wake him up, and that only made him more agitated. I looked down at him, and saw he had tears on his face.



"Harry wake up." I said shaking him harder.



He woke up this time, and looked really confused.



"Where am I?" He asked.



"In a hotel room." I stated.



"Why are you here?" He asked quietly.



"This is my room." I answered confused.



Harry blinked a few times, and his eyes became more focused.



"I had a really bad dream Scar." Harry said softly.



"What about?" I asked.



"We were here, and you and I were in a fight, and then you broke up with me and went home. I left the tour, and went back to our house and you and all your stuff was gone. I looked everywhere for you, all the boys did. Then I found you, and you were with Brian. The two of you were like together, and you had him beat me up. He beat me so bad, and then I died. You didn't come to my funeral nothing, it was like I didn't exist to you anymore." Harry said, slow tears falling from his eyes.



I wrapped my arms around him, and he buried his face in my neck.



"That will never happen Harry." I whispered.



"How do you know?" Harry asked.



"Well for one thing, Brian's in jail." I stated.



"No, he got out. His case was dropped, I don't know how, but they said that all the evidence was tampered with or something, and it left them with no case." Harry replied.



"When did you find this out?" I asked.



"Early this morning. I didn't say anything, because you were already stressed enough, and I didn't want to like burden you anymore. I'm so sorry Scarlet, I should have told you." Harry said getting upset.



"It's fine, it's fine." I said soothingly, rubbing Harry's back gently.



"They're letting him come back." Harry said.



"They are not." I said shocked.



Harry nodded.



"They can't do that, everyone knows what he really did, I can't be around him." I stated.



"You won't leave will you?" Harry asked nervously.



"I don't know." I whispered.



"You can't leave me Scarlet, I won't let you go." Harry said.



"Harry, he raped me. I can't just walk around and act like it never happened." I stated.



"I know Scarlet, but I can't lose you, and I know that sounds selfish, but I've already lost you once, and almost did again. I can't have you go home. Especially when you and Timmy are like talking again. Scarlet it will drive me crazy, and I trust you I really do, but knowing that he gets to see you and I don't will kill me inside. Even if we aren't talking seeing you every day makes everything better, and I won't lose you." Harry said.



I looked down, and Harry grabbed my hands.



"Promise you won't go." Harry said.



"Okay." I said softly.



"Promise." Harry repeated gently.



"I promise I won't go." I said looking into his eyes.



Harry smiled, and pulled me into his arms.



"I'll protect you from him Scar, I won't let him near you ever. And when we're on the bus, I won't leave your side. He will never see you again, and if he does, I'll be right there with you. We won't go to clubs or anything. I'll have the boys and Perrie form a protective circle around you. He'll never touch you again as long as he lives." Harry said comfortingly.



"Thanks Harry." I smiled.



"Anything for you love." Harry replied.



I nestled closer into him, and he wrapped his arms tightly around me. I felt safe being in his arms, and believed him when he said he wouldn't let Brian hurt me. I closed my eyes, and drifted back to sleep.



When I woke up, Harry's sleeping head was rested gently on my shoulder. I smiled, and pecked his forehead, causing his eyes to flutter open.



"Morning sunshine." He said, stretching his arms a little.



"Morning." I replied.



He leaned in, and kissed my lips before sliding out of bed.



"I need caffeine." He stated.



"So go get a coffee." I laughed.



"Too lazy." Harry said with a smile.



I shook my head and giggled. I got out of bed, and Harry pulled me into a hug. We were having a lovely little couple moment, until it was ruined by loud banging on the door.



Harry went to open it, and we were greeted by a flustered Niall.



"You okay?" I asked.



"Brian's in the lobby. Paul wants us to go down, and make-up with him, even you Scar." Niall said quickly.



"No way." I stated, and retreated from the doorway.



"You have to, Paul said." Niall stated.



"Paul is your manager, not mine. I'm staying here." I retorted.



Harry looked back at me.



"I'm not going either. I'm not making up with him. He first tried to steal my girlfriend, and then he raped her." Harry said.



"Well I don't want to go either." Niall said.



"So come in, and we'll boycott." Harry said.



Niall nodded, and walked into the room, slamming the door shut. We all walked to the couch, and sat down.



"So what do we do now?" Niall asked.



"Wait for Paul to flip?" Harry suggested.



"Good plan." Niall replied.



Harry shrugged.



"It just sort of came to me." Harry joked.



"You're really smart." Niall laughed.



I sat awkwardly.



"Scar, come on loosen up." Niall said shaking my shoulder a little.



I shook my head.



"What's wrong?" Niall asked.



"Are you for real?" I snapped back.



"Geez, sorry for caring." Niall said softly.



"Niall he raped her, do you really think this is easy for her to see him again? It's not like he just made things awkward by flirting with her or something, he totally invaded her, and raped her." Harry explained.



"Sorry Scar." Niall said softly.



"It's fine." I stated.



We sat in a major awkward silence until the much awaited knock at the door came. Niall jumped up to get it, but the man on the other side of the door was not who we expected.



As the door flung open, Brian was standing there. He had lost a lot of weight, and didn't look much like his old self. His hair was darker, and he looked quite rough.



Niall went to close the door, but Brian stopped it with his foot.



"Harry." I whispered nervously.



Harry grabbed my hand, and stood up, standing in front of me, and protectively squeezing my hand.



"What do you want?" Harry asked sternly.



"I came to talk things out with you guys." Brian said.



"There is nothing to say. You should leave." Harry said.



"I have something to say." I stated, more confidently than I thought would come out.



Everyone turned to look at me, and my confidence level dropped a little. I stepped in front of Harry, not letting go of his hand.



"Don't move." I said to Brian.



He nodded, and stayed in the hall.



"Why would you do that to me?" I asked.



"Do what?" Brian sneered.



"You know exactly what you did; don't even try to deny it." I hissed.



"I did nothing wrong." Brian stated.



"You raped me. You know you did. Why did you do it? You aren't going to jail, so just say it." I said.



"I needed your body. I needed you. I wanted you so bad, I knew you wouldn't have sex with me voluntarily, so I needed to get it somehow. I saw you go off to the bathroom alone, and took it as the perfect time. It's loud in concert arenas, and no one would hear your cries for help. Once I got you alone, I knew I had everything I needed, and it was amazing. You weren't very easy though. You wouldn't moan, or enjoy it. The whole time you screamed and pleaded for me to stop. It wasn't really a turn on. But I made you cum. It was amazing. Cumming in you was amazing." Brian said.



Harry's body tensed up.



"Why did you do it though?" I asked.



"Because I thought that having sex with a real man would show you how big of a pussy your boyfriend is, but I guess not." Brian stated.



"So you thought raping me would me fall in love with you?" I asked.



"Not fall in love with me, but at least give me like a sex buddy. I mean you are seriously hot, and I would have loved to tap that every day, making you moan and scream my name." Brian said.



Harry's face was stone cold, and his body was extremely tense. With every word Brian said, Harry got angrier and angrier. I was scared that Harry would flip, and attack Brian, but he stayed still, and said nothing.



"You realize that everyone hates you right?" I asked.



"Do you hate me?" Brian questioned.



"No actually, I don't." I stated.



I knew he wanted to hear that I hated him, but I didn't. I wasn't one to hate people really. Yes, I was extremely mad at him, and I don't think that anger would ever go away, but it was anger not hatred.



"You don't?" He asked with a smirk.



"I don't hate you. I will never ever forgive you, and I don't particularly like you, but I don't hate you. I will always be mad at you, but you mean nothing to me. Your existence doesn't faze me, you are just absolutely nothing." I stated.



I saw his eyes fill up with anger. I knew that when he heard the words that he was nothing to me that would hurt him. He wanted to be something. He wanted me to fell some sort of emotion toward him, because me hating him was better than him meaning nothing to me.



"You should go now." I said.



Brian didn't protest, he turned on his heel and walked away. Niall closed the door quickly.



"Where did that come from?" Niall asked me shocked.



"I have no idea." I whispered.



"That was amazing." Niall said excitedly.



I nodded, and looked back at Harry who stood fuming behind me.



"Harry?" I said nervously.



"Who does he think he is? Coming here and talking to you like that. Coming here and making it like he was a thing. He was trying to piss me off I know it, by saying that stuff about making you cum, and about how he wanted you to scream his name. I should have hit him. I should go hit him." Harry shouted angrily.



"Don't let him get the best of you Harry, that's what he wants. He wants you to waste your time hating him. Be the bigger person, and move on." I said.



"No, I will not be the bigger person. You better love making out in public Scarlet, because I am going to be all over you whenever he's around. He needs to know what's up. He needs to know that you are mine, and he can't have you." Harry said.



"Alright Harry, calm down." I laughed.



Harry loosened up, and pulled me into a tight hug.



"Don't you dare ever leave my side. I don't trust Brian at all, and neither should you." Harry whispered protectively in my ear.



"I won't Harry, I promise." I said back.



Harry squeezed me tightly, and rubbed my back gently. We broke away after a minute, and Niall was still awkwardly standing in the doorway.



"I'm going to go, I hate being a third wheel." Niall said, and left.



I giggled a little at the fact Harry and I forgot Niall standing there.



"He is so weird." Harry stated.



"Right?" I laughed.



Harry plopped onto the couch, and pulled me into his lap. He kissed the spot behind my ear, and it sent shivers down my spine. I smiled, and blushed a little. Harry was the only person who had ever made me feel this way. It was like whenever we touched it set something off inside me, and I just lost any sense of who I was, and what was going on. Harry made me nervous, but a good nervous.



Harry kissed my rosy cheeks and smiled.



"You are just too cute." He said softly.



I shook my head, and buried my face in his shoulder.



"I love when you do that." Harry smiled, rubbing my hair softly.



"Stop." I whined.



"I love when you tell me to stop." Harry joked.



I let out a soft giggle.



"I love when you giggle." Harry said.



I smacked his arm.



"I love when you smack my arm." Harry laughed.



"Enough Harry." I said.



"I love when you say 'enough Harry.'" He said with a smile.



I stood up from his lap.



"I don't love when you do that though. Sit back down." Harry whined.



I laughed, and rolled my eyes, but sat back down in his lap.



"I love when you sit in my lap." Harry said.



"Harry." I groaned.



"I love when you say my name." Harry said.



"Really?" I asked laughing.



"Okay I'm done." Harry smiled.



"Good." I stated.



Harry smiled, and kissed my temple.



"I missed you." Harry said.



"I missed you too love." I replied.



Harry smiled, and pecked my lips.



"I like having you in my arms." Harry said.



"I like being here." I said back.



Harry smiled down at me, and I looked up into his beautiful green eyes. I really had missed him, and I really was glad to be back in his arms. He completed me, and I was stupid for not realizing that sooner.
