Life Saver

Never Really A Goodbye

~Harry~

"HE DID WHAT?" I shout, angrily standing up.

"It was a long time ago, Harry. He's out of my life. Its okay." She coos, trying to calm me down. Rage pumps through my veins.

"IT'S NOT OKAY, BRADY!!! WHAT HE DID TO YOU IS NOT OKAY! HE'S YOUR STEP BROTHER! NO MAN SHOULD EVER TOUCH YOU LIKE THAT AGAINST YOUR WILL, ESPECIALLY YOUR STEP BROTHER!" I scream. She flinches away from my fiery words. I grab the coffee table, flipping it over toward the middle of the living room. Brady gasps, scurrying as fast as possible to escape my rage.

"Harry-"

"No Brady! This is not okay! I'm not going to just drop this. He tried to rape you, B! That's not okay!" I yell, cutting her off with my anger.

"HARRY! I'M TRYING TO FORGET ABOUT IT! I DON'T WANT TO RELIVE THOSE MOMENTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!" She fires back. Her eyes close, a single tear falling from her eyes. "It...It just hurts too much." She mumbles to finalize her argument. My eyes quickly soften. I try my best to wrap my head around the situation without getting angry. I hand to be calm. I had to be strong.

For her

"I'm sorry, love. I, I guess I just got carried away. I-Its going to be okay. I'm here now and I won't ever let anyone hurt you like that, ever again." I murmur, trying to draw her close for a hug. She pulls away, looking at my eyes, then down at the floor.

"Unless its you" She whispers. Suddenly her scared eyes frantically lurk up, meeting my shocked ones.

"Brady what do you mean, Of course not me. I could never hurt you." I explain, looking at her intently.

"I-I uh, I think maybe I should go." She whispers.

"Brady, Are you scared of me?" I mutter, pain prominent in my deep voice.

"I think you need some space. I'll, I'll uh...go call Niall. I'm sure he's not busy. I'll go over there for a while, so you can cool off." She expresses, looking anywhere but my eyes. My eyebrows furrow, my voice cracking a bit.

"Are you scared of me?" I question.

"Harry I-"

"Its okay, Brady. Sometimes I scare myself." I whisper, looking down to find what was so interesting about the floor. This seems to be a trend with me, scaring people. I never meant to frighten her, I just care about her so much. I can't handle the thought of someone hurting her. That's the thing about loving someone this much, it gets dangerous. The amount of passion and feeling between us causes me to be reckless. I would do anything for her.

She's scared, but she hasn't left. She's scared, but she's still here.

I'm scared, and I haven't left. I'm scared, but I'm still here. I don't plan on leaving.

"Harry, You scare me shitless. I've never been more scared of anything before. The way you love is fierce and intense. Its passionate. But I'm so crazy in love, that I can't be bothered with it. I love you enough to look past the one thing that makes you human. I'm so scared, but I've never felt safer than when I'm in your arms. I'm going to call Niall, You're going to calm down and have a day to yourself. That doesn't mean I don't love you, It means that I respect you enough to give you space. You're an Idiot, Harry Styles, But you're my idiot, so I guess that makes me an idiot too." She explains, ending in a breathless stare. Across the large living room, but It feels like miles. How could she love someone who scares her so much? What have I ever done to deserve it?

Nothing

Absolutely Nothing

Suddenly, she jogs forward. In mere seconds, she reaches me. She stands only inches away from me. So close. She reaches up, grabbing the back of my neck and tugging me down toward her. She kisses me softly, hugging me tightly.
