Bad Boy (Harry Styles fanfic)

Chapter 10

Harry's POV

It actually caught me off a guard a little when she asked me to stay with her. Usually girls want to be alone after a break up.

It was currently 1:37 in the afternoon and Alex was still sleeping. I have been awake since about ten, but Alex looks cozy and I don't want to wake her. I gently try to get off the bed, trying not to stir around. I know I have failed once I hear Alex's raspy voice.

"Harry?"

"Hmm?"

"What time is it?" She questions.

"Almost two. I'm pretty sure you wasted your day."

"My day was wasted last night." She remarks in a hushed tone.

"So you're wanting to head home I assume?" I question her.

"No. I want to lay here and die." Ouch.

"Why does it hurt so bad? Wait, why am I asking you? You wouldn't know." She states.

"Why do you assume that? Why do you just assume that I've always been nothing but a jerk? Why does everyone fucking assume that all I have ever done is play games?" I snap.

The look in her eyes makes me realize that I've made her upset.

"Look, I'm sorry but I can't take this shit from you too. I haven't always been like this."

Alex remained quiet, giving me a look that urged me to go on.

"Her name was Samantha. I grew up with her. She was my best friend in the entire world. We used to go over to each other's house all the time. We would play husband and wife and we would use her baby dolls as our children. We would lay on the couch together watching Disney movies. She was always there for me when my mom and dad fought or when it seemed like they didn't even care about me. There was this field with a pond right in the middle of it that we would go to when we just wanted to get away."

My story just kept on flowing out of my mouth.

"Once I gave her a ring I got out if a quarter machine and we pretended we got married. As we got older we became closer and we got a lot more serious. We starting dating in the sixth grade. We were the happiest little kids in the world. People would laugh at us and say 'you're too young. This isn't real.' But to me it was real. In my freshman year, she came and spent the night at my house. This was a normal thing, but it's when everything changed. I gave myself to her that night. But, that morning when I woke up, she was gone. No note. No text. No voice mail. Gone. I would call her at least ten times a day. About a week later, I found out she didn't have any interest in me anymore. The only interest she had left was strictly sexual. Once she got what she wanted, she left. That's why I do what I do. I don't do relationships because of the fear if getting hurt again. I do to girls what Samantha did to me. I know it's not right, but I really don't care anymore honestly."

Alex had a blank look on her face with a single tear falling down her cheek.


Alex's POV

Harry just told me his story. My heart ached for him. What Samantha did to him is absolutely horrible. She caused him to be like this.

"Don't shed a tear for me, Alex. I feel nothing now. My heart is as cold as Alaska in December. I can't change what she did to me and I sure as hell not changing I feel towards women."

I nodded.

"Can we just go now? I really want to get home and away from this place before Jake finds me." I ask.

"Yep." He answered, grabbing my keys and our luggage and heading out of the door to sign out. I guess he's driving.

---

The drive was quiet for a while until Harry asked a random question.

"Where's your mom? I've never seen her and you've never mentioned her."

"She works two jobs. I hardly even see her. She says it's to help save up for college." I answer.

"And your dad?" Ouch. I felt my heart drop down into my stomach and I felt like I was going to cry, again.

"You know how on the way here you asked me about my virginity and I got really upset? Well this is why. When I was 13, my mom was working the nightshift at the hospital. My dad came in super drunk with his friend and they came into my room." I choked.

"My dads friend laid on top of me and start to grind a little. I cried and cried and beg for my dad to help or for his friend to stop. I guess that just made my dad angry because he went and got a belt and started to beat me. I felt like I was about to pass out and that's when my dads friend took the opportunity to rape me. My dad sat there and watched, taking pictures even. When my mom found out, she divorced him right away, got a restraining order, and we moved away. I pray every day that he isn't looking for us." The tears were on full blast now, but I didn't care.

Harry pulled the car over and pulled me into the back seat with him. He pulled me into his chest, stroking my hair.

"Even if he was looking for you, he won't ever hurt you again. Not as long as I'm around." He told me in a hushed tone.

He held me in his arms until the tears stopped. When Harry tried to move back to the front seat, I pulled him closer. I wasn't ready to let him go. Not yet.
