Falling For A Vampire || H.S.

Chapter 15 - I'll Keep You Safe.

The ride home from the fair was longer than what I expected, we sat silently watching the road. Harry kept his gaze on the road and he never looked at me. While I kept looking outside the window watching the dark fields around us. I regretted staying at the fair for so long as now we have to go back home in the dark. I have been always a morning person. Finally, the car stopped outside the house. Harry was the first to get out and then I followed behind. He opened the door and stepped inside not even bothering to wait for me in order to close the door behind me, well someone is angry! As we got inside, nobody was in the house, I was actually glad because I'm not in the mood to greet or tell anyone how my day went like. At first, it was an amazing day, but that Jaden who appeared later ruined everything. Why can't there be any day in my life which ends happily? We finally reached Harry's bedroom, he opened the door and shut it after I entered. I sat on the bed thinking about today's events, while he went to grab something to wear from his wardrobe. He didn't seem to be telling me anything and I am not planning on giving up either.

"So, when are you gonna tell me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him. He looked at me confused.

"Tell you what, excactly?" He asked also raising an eybrow. GOSH! How could he forget?!

"Tell me who is that Jaden that popped out of nowhere? He even knew your name, Harry. How does he even know your name?" I asked, slightly annoyed by his stupid, weak memory. He looked at me for a while before sighing a heavy sigh and running his hand through his hair. I could tell that he's nervous.

"Well, um.. Do you remember that Antoine the boys told you about? The one who killed my parents? And Charlotte?" I nodded slightly before he went on. "Well he had a son, his name was Jaden. He's the guy we met in the fair. After we killed Antoine, his son Jaden wanted revenge. He wanted to kill us all. We went through many fights then we decided to make an arrangement. That arrangement was to never fight again. But that was under one condition." Then Harry stopped. I was confused and shocked by all the infromation I heard. How is this even possible? And what the hell was that condition?

"Harry, please go on." I encouraged but he didn't even move. He kept looking down at the ground like something there interested him. "Harry, please! Continue." I was planning on knowing everything and I am not giving up on that. Harry sighed again, this time the sigh was heavier and deeper.

"The condition was.. um, that each one of us never l-love anyone again, or else..." I nodded to him in order to continue. "Or else, if he found out that anyone of us is in love, he'll take his girl and... and he'll, um... kill her." I noticed my eyes were widening instinctively as he said the last two words. "kill her." Really? Is that what's going to happen to me? Am I going to be killed? Just because of a silly arrangement? "I guess, he sensed  that I'm in love with you and that means that..."

"He'll kill me." I finished for him. I felt the tears stream down my face. I couldn't hold them back no more. I was afraid to die. More afraid to leave Harry torture without me.

"No, no, no! He's never gonna touch you. I won't let him ever harm you, Jossie. I won't! Even if it required a fight between us again. Even if I had to die. I am never gonna let him lay a finger on you." Harry said while cupping my face in his large hands. My tears were wiped away by his thumb as he reassured me that he's never letting Jaden kill me. I believed in Harry but I was still afraid. He hugged me and dug his face in my neck inhaling my scent. "I love you, Jossie. I am never letting anybody harm you. Even if I have to be dead." He breathed through my skin. I felt so comfortable and safe right now. 

"I love you too, Harry. And I trust you." I finally said. "Harry?"

"Hmm?"

"Why did you accept this silly condition?" I asked, I can't help but wonder why. Harry pulled away and looked at my eyes for a second before he directed his gaze to the floor, again.
