Harry looked back at me and to the figure again. I felt a strong pain in my chest grow just seeing him here. I couldn't help it as my breathing increased and i started to shake. God i need my fucking pills but there was no way in hell i'd ever see those again.
"Who are you?" Harry said harshly. He was probably a bit upset someone had interrupted our little alone time. He furrowed his eyebrows as Dylan just smirked and didn't answer.
"Wait...you're that fucking creep from the hospital!" Harry's voice rose slightly and Dylan still just stood, his vision went to me and I saw Harry's fists clench. He looked back at me and his eyes were now a black color. He turned to Dylan again regaining his stare.
"What the fuck do you want?" Harry spat. Dylan dropped his crossed arms and turned leaving the porch of the cabin and walking somewhere I guess. I couldn't see. Harry slammed the door and ran his fingers through his hair and looked over at me.
"You know him?" He asked through gritted teeth. I nodded slowly dropping my gaze to the floor seeing Harry walk to me and kneeling in front of me.
"Hailey.." He said calmly resting a hand on top of mine. He circled his thumb over my knuckles and I felt that same heat he always gave me grow in my body. I looked into his eyes that had now regained their jade color. I felt relieved seeing them the beautiful color.
"I think I should get back to the hospital.."I said looking back down again, Harry's hand tightened around mine before he stood up. He paced back and forth before stopping.
"Hailey, tell me who the fuck he is. Now." He demanded. A chill slid down my spine at his low and harsh tone. I didn't want him to know anything about him and all the trouble he'd caused. I knew if Harry knew what he had done to me he'd end up killing him most likely. I slouched my shoulders and dropped my head into my hands. Why was all of this happening so suddenly? Harry walked towards me and kneeled down in front of me. He set his hands on my thighs sliding his thumb in circles lightly.
"Look Hailey, I care about you and I want to protect you but I can't do that with you keeping secrets from me." He said removing one of his hands and pinching the bridge of his nose. I lifted my head to look at him. He seemed so tense and stressed, I set one of my hands on the back of his neck twirling one of his curls around my index finger.
"He...H-his name is Dylan." I said slowly. Harry instantly made the connection between the nights I would scream Dylan's name in my sleep having the same p[perpetual nightmares and him. He looked up into my eyes and I immediately regretted telling him. His jaw was tensed and his eyes were filled with anger.
"What did he do to you?" Harry said flatly. His eyebrows were knitted together waiting for my reply. I looked down at my hands trying to compel the words from my throat. I opened my mouth and closed it repeatedly unable to form a solid sentence. Harry started to grow restless so I went with the first thing I could think of.
"He u-used to be my boyfriend... he would yell a lot and he...he...." I couldn't clench back the tears any linger. I burst into loud sobs thinking of all the numerous things I let that man do to me. The torture, the physical and verbal abuse. Harry pulled me into his lap on the floor and I curled into his chest wrapping my arms around his neck as he rocked me back and forth.
Harry slid his thumb over my cheeks probably hundreds of times but the tears just fell rapidly. I quieted my sobs slightly and looked at Harry. He was no longer angry he looked scared and confused. I could see why, he'd probably rarely seen a girl cry and probably didnt have the slightest clue on what to do when he was around a girl crying. I smiled at him and he flashed me an uneasy smile back.
"He would go out drinking a lot and he'd yell at me and h-he'd sometimes h-hit me. " My sobs came back fiercely and I couldnt control them. Harry hushed me and just rocked me back and forth trying to calm me for a second time.
"Baby..please just tell me..what happend." He rubbed my back slowly as I regained myself.
"well once h-he came home d-drunk and I said the w-wrong things and he...he broke a beer bottle. H-he held it to my side and he stabbed me, That was one of the w-worst times...the last time I-I saw him we got into a huge fight and h-he kicked me and severely hurt me and I a-almost died...but It was m-my fault I egged him on..." I said dropping my head into my hands again sobbing AGAIN. God I am such a mess.
Harry took my hands gently and cupped my chin. I was surprised he didn't do anything rash or go find Dylan and murder him. Harry just pulled my face to his and pecked my lips gently. He rested his forehead to mine his hot breathe fanning my face.
"How could anyone do that to you?" He said closing his eyes. I knew he was probably thinking of what Dylan had done to me, thinking of him hurting me.
"I think you may have to get back to the hospital soon." Harry said grabbing my shoulders and pushing me back slightly. I nodded and stood off of him grabbing my things. Harry locked the cabin door behind me and walked me to the car. He opended the door got into the driver's seat and hadn't even said a word. The engine roared to life and Harry pulled out of the parking lot and drove silently down the road. Honestly it was starting to scare me how quiet he was being. Harry pulled into the hospital parking lot and opened my door for me.
Harry still hadn't said a single word to me as he walked me into the reception area and down to my room. I turned the knob to my room and and opened it slightly. I turned back to Harry looking up at him. He said nothing. He just pulled me by my forearm into his chest and wrapped his arms around me. This type of thing made me feel so safe with Harry but sometimes I just couldn't understand him. He pulled away and pecked me on the lips and muttered a small "Goodbye" before walking down the hall.
