My Heart Protector

Ch. 24- I love it

Harry's POV

We arrived at my house as I help Kiley for her to walk. I held her clutch with as she struggles to set her foot on the ground. The snow is melting, thankfully as less ice would be covered. I grabbed her arm as she tries to balance herself. I give her the clutch as she mumbles a 'thanks' and kisses my lightly on the cheek. I walk over behind her to close the door as I try to hide my blush. Going to the trunk I take out the bags and walk to the front porch.

I helped her get upstairs as she balances her weight on mine which is super fine with me, I drop our things as she sits on my bed.

"Your place looks great like usual." Kiley smiles as she gives a quick check inside my room. "Thanks, I like to keep it for my grandmother."

"Harry.. I know that we were like friends since the begining but what happened to your family?" Kiley asks me. She always asked me this, but I refused to tell her.

I take a deep sigh. "Alright might as well tell you now.. Okay.. when I was about four, my father and my mother, left me at an orphanage one day because the next day when I woke up I wasn't in my room. I stayed there for about 10 years. When I turned 15 I left the place and found my grandmother. This was her house. She passed away last summer and I was the only person that could own it. Gladly my grandmother's rent is still on her so I am fine with it. I had to start school again. So I'm actually 18, turning 19 next month.... Yeah I know I sound so stupid.. but it was true.

The past haunted me, but that's when I met you. When you had a crush on Kian, it kinda hurt me. When we became friends I loved hanging out with you. You know my mates, Niall, Louis, Liam, Zayn and used to be Kian, we all talked about it and they helped me to get you. Well Kian wasn't with us. And when you kissed me the other day before you got shot, did you just do that to shut up or did you actually developed....feel...ings?"

There was silence, not an awkward one, but the ones that there's so much tension of thinking.

"I-I.. Harry.. I never realized that I loved you all along, Kian was just a distraction. At first yeah I liked him but then when you came into my world, you changed me, you made me feel like a better person. I kept on having dreams where my mother comes up and tells me that you love me... which sounds weird but its true... Today I had a horrible dream, no a nightmare..."

"What was the dream about?" I took her hand and squeezed it which made her calm a bit.

"It was scary... This man with a very familiar voice called you in this jail room...a-and Kian was part of it..Then he brought you into the room.." Tears were collapsing down her cheeks as I wanted to hear more.

"Then..they started to hurt you while I wanted to help but I couldn't move or speak... It was dreadful after when I say you lifeless on the floor... This might sound creepy but my mother was there and she told me that would've happened if I choose Kian that night.."

Would a nightmare like that is telling her something? Would that actually happen in real life? It felt so real because what if they found me? What if Kian was part of something..

"Harry... I feel like we aren't even normal people anymore.." She whispers as she buries her face on my chest.

"What do you mean?" I gently pat her back, planting a kiss on her head as I rest my chin.

"Like we used to be like two normal kids at school, and no pain, sadness or fear. Now we are in danger.." Kiley did have a point there.

"Its going to be alright, really I believe everything is going to be fine, remember stay positive and everything else will be positive."

"Thanks Harry.. You're so compassionate about everything in life, after everything you had been through.. You have the strongest heart here." She smiles as I couldn't help but grin like a mad man. I love this girl so much, I don't even know how it got to me.. She just got to me I guess?
