My Darling ♥

chapter 56

Harry's POV.

i need to keep her safe. 

she's safe with Niall. i need to make sure she doesn't go with Josh or Hunter. she needs Niall. and Niall needs her. 

Christina had a plan to set up Niall and Lizzy before they knew eachother. Christina made me promise that i would make sure that they would be together. 

i can't interfere. they need to be together. 

this is the way it was always meant to be. 

no matter what i feel, or what i want.

i can't let my feelings get in the way. 

i promised. 

i promised. 

NO! i don't care what i promised! i love her! i need her! 

i take a step towards them. 

"why is harry acting the way he is?" she asks. 

i take a step back. 

"i don't know. he wasn't like this when i first saw him at boot camp for the x-factor. but, once he heard my name he didn't talk to me again. he always gave me death glares and kept his distance" Niall shrugs. "i don't know why he acts the way he does. but i believe it's for a good reason. and i'm still waiting for the day he comes clean so he's not such a mystery anymore" 

"i hate him" she says. 

i step back again. she hates me. 

this is exactly what Christina wanted. even when she's dead, she gets her way. 

she need to hate me.

this is the way it was always planned to be.

"don't say that" Niall says. 

"but it's true. he's a complete dick" 

"what did he do?"

"i can't say"

"why not?"

"i just cant.." she looks down. 

"you can tell me"

"no" she shakes her head. "i can't tell anyone. no matter how bad he makes things, i can't rat him out. it's not right. i will hate him until the day he sets things right and becomes good"

"you're going to be waiting a long time"

i completely leave the room. but before i'm out of ear's reach i hear Lizzy say, "i don't know. i think he's hiding something light under that dark mask he's hiding behind" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizzy's POV. 

i hope Harry heard what i said. i saw a glimpse of his black shirt and tattooed arm when he left the kitchen. 

"i'll be right back" i say. Niall nods and i get up and follow harry.

i can't see him, but i can hear his heavy footsteps. 

i find myself in the door frame of his room. 

once again, his back is turned to me and he's looking out the window. the only diference this time is he took his shirt off. 

i stand in the door frame, studying the strained muscles in his back and the thinly lined tattooes on his arms. 

i walk through the door. light on my feet. i walk over to Harry, i stand behind him. i don't say a word before i hear his thick raspy voice. "you shouldn't be here"
