One and Only

Chapter 2

As we enter the school I see Harry standing at the front office talking to Ms. Smith, the history teacher. He smiles this devilishly handsome grin at her when he turns his head and looks over his shoulder to see my studying him. Harry smiles at Ms. Smith says something and begins walking towards me. Tyler puts his arm around my shoulder in a protective way and tightens his grip as Harry gets closer to me. I look up at Tyler and with my eyes to try to let him know he is hurting me. "Babe please let go, you're hurting me." "Sorry babe I've just missed you so much" I began to think to myself, man this guy really loves me. Harry has finally reached us and he waves at Tyler and Emily as he embraces me in a warm brotherly hug that I didn't know I needed. "Tyler good to see you as always man." Harry says as he extends his hand to shake Tyler's. Tyler shakes his hand and gives him a small grin, "Harry its always a pleasure." Emily walks in the middle of the handshake to smile cutely at Harry, "Hi Harry, how was your summer?" Harry smiles at Emily knowing that she has always had the biggest crush on him so he plays along with her flirting. "My summer was fine Emily, How was yours?" Emily smiled after giggling like a little school girl. Emily didn't respond and she almost floated away to her first hour class. "Hey Ty I'll meet you after class if that's ok? I wanna catch up with Harry." Tyler put his head down as though he was upset that i didn't want him to walk me to my first class. "yeah sure thats fine" he walked away extremely upset, you could tell by his posture. I turned to talk to Harry when he looked down at me with a serious face and he grabbed my arm as we walked towards my first hour math class with Mrs. Johnson. "So listen I know that you care for Tyler a lot and that you even might love him and all the gooey mushy stuff but I don't think he is safe for you to be alone with." I cut him off before he could say anything else. "Harry stop Tyler loves me and takes care of me. I promise he would never hurt me." "You can say what you want but I will be watching him very closely because I don't trust him and you shouldn't either" he said as he continued to walk me to my class. "Harry I know that you don't trust him but we've been through this multiple times Tyler and I have been together for almost a year now and nothing has happened to me, so what makes him so bad for me?" "Something rubs me the wrong way about him and it has since you guys got together" Harry says as he abruptly stops me outside of my first hour. "You can say that nothing has ever happened to you, do you remember when you came over with that bruise on your arm from being gripped too hard?" Harry looked so distraught as he remembers the night I called him to come over and sit with me after Tyler left.  "Listen if anything ever happens to you i would never forgive myself, you're the little sister I never had and I don't ever want to lose you." he looked down and gave a half smile. " I promise Harry nothing is ever going to happen to me, I'm stronger than I look." Harry smiled as he gave my hand a small squeeze and pushed me towards the door of the classroom, "I'll see you after school at my place to work on my senior project?" I asked before I entered the room. " Yes ma'am you will" Harry turned on his heel and walked in the opposite direction of where we came from. I don't understand why Harry and Tyler pretend to get along when I can clearly see that they can't stand each other. I'll never understand why either but I love Tyler, he is one of the best things to happen to me since Harry. Well time to learn something so I can get this year over with and finally go to Harvard.

Thanks for reading and being patient with me as I fix this mess I created when I was 14.
