Don't Let Me Go

Chapter Three

Harry looked at me in shock.

"Mel, Oh my God. So he was trying to hurt you?"

"Yeah, I guess so." tears were falling, and I tried to wipe them away, but they just kept coming.

"Come here babe." Harry said as he opened his arms. I leaned my head in against his shoulder. He closed his arms around me and held me there. Soon, I stopped crying and calmed down. I was getting pretty tired. I looked at the clock on the T.V. and it read three in the morning. I still had to get back to my apartment. I lifted my head up from Harry's shoulder.

"I should go home, it's really late." I said.

"Why don't you stay here tonight. I'll take you home in the morning." he offered.

"Okay, I guess that's alright." I said.

"We can sleep down here tonight." Harry said. I nodded. He got up off the couch and took my coffee cup into the kitchen. By the time he came back I was passing out on the couch. I felt him lay a blanket over me, and heard his footsteps softly walk over to the other chair. I heard him settle into it and we both fell asleep for the night.

************************

I woke up the next morning around 9. I couldn't remember anything that happened last night. I didn't even remember where I was. Then it all came flooding back to me, when I looked over at Harry fast asleep in the chair. I then remembered I had work at noon today. But I also remembered that if I wasn't at the apartment this morning Iz was gonna call the cops. And she was probably serious. And she also got up at the crack of dawn every morning, so she probably had already checked and called the cops seeing as I wasn't there. I leaped off the couch.

"Harry!" he immediately jumped awake.

"What happened?" he said.

"I need to get home right now. My friend Iz probably called the cops because I wasn't there."

"Why would she call the cops?"

"You may think she's joking when she says she will, but that's because you don't know Iz the way I do." I said. "Let's go!" I said. I grabbed my phone and there were at least fifty messages from Iz asking where I was and to come home. I texted her saying I was coming and was alright. Harry got up grabbed his keys and we ran out the door. We got in the car and drove off. It wasn't gonna be a long drive. I explained to Harry about why she would call the cops if I wasn't home this morning.

"Well, yeah, but I didn't think anything was gonna happen." I replied after Harry said he agreed with what my friends said. By then we were pulling into the apartment building parking lot. And believe it or not there were at least three cop cars there flashing their lights. I saw Iz standing there talking to one of the cops. Harry parked and I jumped out of the car. I ran over to Iz.

"Iz!! I'm right here!" I yelled. Her and the cop looked over at me.

'Mel!! Oh, my God! Where have you been?? I got so worried. I thought you had gotten killed or something!" she said pulling me into a hug.

"No, I'm fine." I said as I heard her gasp.

"What?" I let go of her and turned around to look at what she was looking at. I saw Harry walking up to us. "Oh, um Iz, this is Ha...."

"Harry Styles!!!!" she yelled.

"Wait you two know each other?"

"Ha, no. Mel, you didn't tell me you spent the night with The Harry Styles!" she said. He walked up to us.

"Harry, what is she talking about?" I asked really confused. I looked at him but he just widened his eyes and shook his head at Iz.

"Oh, my gosh, you don't know? He's from the boy band One Direction!" Iz said. I just looked at Harry. I knew he looked familiar.
