All That Matters

Mending the broken

Harry p.o.v

Paisley has been crying for hours in the bathroom after the police left. I've knocked and knocked, but no reply is heard. I lean against the door and rub my temples figuring out what to do. Something is deeply wrong. Something bad happened that she isn't telling me.

The door creaks open, causing me to sit up.

Paisley sits down on my lap and cradles into my chest. I hear her soft sobs and feel her whole body shaking. She looks up at me for a second and whispers, "He touched me".

I become wide eyed and she begins to sob again.

"Where?", I ask, not knowing if i want the answer.

"Down there", she whispers.

I clench my jaw and stand up, pulling her off my lap.

"What else did that fucker do?", I yell, unable to control my anger.

She shudders under my words and doesn't say anything.

I imagine him putting his hand down her stomach and rubbing towards her opening and I scream.

Paisley gets up and runs towards me as i punch a hole into the wall.

She grabs my fist yelling,"Harry stop!".

I look down to see her frightened face. I never thought i would scare her.

I'm a fucking monster.

I run past her and out of our bedroom. I grab my coat and sling it over my shoulders as I snatch my keys off the coffee table and go out to my car.

I get in the car, and blast the radio so loud i can't even hear myself think.

I pull into Louis's driveway and turn off my car. I lay my head on the steering wheel and take deep breaths.

What the hell is happening to me?

I scream, frustrated, and lift my head.

"Fuck!", I yell, accidentally honking the horn.

Paisley p.o.v

I sit on our bed and cry. I'm so sick of crying, but the tears continue to flow. Harry ran out of the house in rage and I'm terrified something will happen to him. I know he's not mad at me. I wish i could help him calm down the way he helps me.

I shakily get off of the bed and go downstairs to grab my phone. I have texts from everyone asking how I am. I still haven't told my mom about the incident and I don't plan to. I hate to worry her.

"Hello?", asks Eleanor from the phone.

I sob and say,"Will you please come over? Harry left and I can't be alone. I need someone".

She agrees and says she'll be here soon. I hang up and fall to the floor sobbing, and wrap my arms around my legs. I've never felt like this in my life. I feel shattered.

Broken.

Harry o.ov

I'm sitting at the bar with Louis and i just drank my third beer. I don't drink often, unless I'm at a party or stressed.

And right now I'm stressed.

I pull out another five dollar bill and throw it onto the bar. The waitress nods at me and hands me another beer.

"You should slow down man", says Louis.

I glare at him and down the whole beer, slamming it on the counter.

"Your gonna regret this", he says shaking his head.

"Shut the fuck up", I say sloppily.

I've never said that to anyone, and Louis looks at me shocked.

"You know what asshole? I'm done with you tonight. Get a cab", he says throwing a twenty dollar bill at me.

"And by the way, you have a girlfriend at home crying because she was almost raped, and your sitting here getting shit faced. Go home to her. She needs you", he adds before walking out the door.

I nod taking in his words, and call a cab. I need to go home to Paisley.

Paisley p.o.v

I hear a car roll up the drive way and get off the couch. I look out the window to see a yellow cab.

"Is it Harry?", asks Eleanor through a mouthful of popcorn.

She came over half an hour after I called her. She's such a good friend.

"I honestly don't know", I say making my way back to the couch.

I hear the door open, and look to see Harry standing there. I get up and run to hug him. He hugs me back and kisses my head.

"I'm so sorry for leaving", he says, slurring his words.

He's drunk.

"I just needed to clear my head and i didn't think about how bad it made you feel", he adds.

I nod my head and don't say anything. He starts to fall, and I grab his arm, steadying him.

"Let's go to bed babe", I say and he nods, agreeing.

I look at Eleanor and say,"Thanks for everything babe". She nods and waves goodbye while walking out the door.

"Goodbye Elle!", yells Harry sloppily. I hold in a laugh and drag him down the hallway. I walk Harry into the bedroom and he falls face first onto the bed, instantly asleep.

I take off his shoes, jacket and pants for him, knowing he likes to sleep in his boxers.

He suddenly wakes up smiling at me. I smile back and slap his butt while getting off the bed. I begin to leave and he whispers, "Can you lay with me please?".

I nod and take off my sweatpants, then climb into bed.

He instantly wraps an arm around my waist and kisses my cheek whispering,"I love you baby".

I smile and reply, "I love you so much Harry", as we drift off to sleep.
