Deeper Than Skin (Harry Styles)

Chapter 28- My World

*Trinity*

      She was scared, and her heart was beating a mile a minute. As of right then she knew she wasn't in any real danger, but before too long that man would have to return, and she knew he would keep his promise. He would kill her.

       She didn't want to wait around and find out how. That's why as soon as she had hung up on a now devestated Harry she had ran to her room and began to pack. She packed only what she would need, the necessities of life.

        A cab was called and she waited until she heard the honking outside the door. This was it. She looked around the home and hoped she would come back but she wasn't sure she would. Not after the small bits and pieces she was learning about her family.

          None of it made sense to her though. Why was her mother being chased by men? Why did they want her dead? It was then that it all hit Trinity like a brick wall.

          Her father was now in prison.... His sudden change.... all of this... it boiled down to him. Of course it did. Hadn't it always? How had she always been so dumb.

           She was more than happy to be leaving now and in her mind, she hoped she would never have to return to that place.

            Such a sudden change of heart...

           She would worry for her mother of course but maybe, just maybe, this flight she was about to take wouldn't just take her away from danger now but would take her to another world. A place where Harry could be her life.

Her world....

         She laughed then. Why you ask? Well, isn't it obvious?

He already was....

*Harry*

      Ever since Harry had gotten off the phone with Trinity earlier he was a worried wreck. For her, for himself, for both of them.

       He needed to know what was going on on her end of the line. From the way she sounded she didn't seem to be in any immediate danger, but, then again, Trinity had always been a good liar. Good at hiding things from him.

        He shivered at the thought. At the thought of her almost dying and then at her body truly being lifeless in his arms, but this time not her fault, someone elses.

         Her family was a mess. He had been able to tell that from the moment he had met them, but he had never expected something like this.... And he didn't even really know what was happening. He just knew it was bad. Bad enough to make her run from her home. The only home she had ever known....

           He breathed a sigh, but not a content one, as he lay back on the bed. Perhaps bringing her here was for the best though, and not just because of whatever was happening there. Harry didn't feel that her family was safe for her to be around now anyway. Not that they had ever been....

          She would probably be safer now that her dad was locked away but.....

Grace was so unstable.....

           He could be stable for her. At least he would try to be. He would give up anything for her. He would be her reason to live. Her world. And no matter what that meant he would have to do, no matter how much he would have to suffer.... He would do it.

           He was in so deep, too deep and he had only known the girl for a bit, had only kissed her those few times.....

           But those kisses had meant the world. They had lit a fire in his eyes and his heart for her. She would never be mistreated.....

Not while he was around.

           But he wasn't with her now, and that was why he was a wreck. He didn't know what she would experience on her way here, or if she would even make it to him.But once she did, he refused to think she wouldn't, she would not leave his sight. He had already vowed to himself to take care of her....

Like a lover...

A friend..

He would never leave her... She had stolen his heart
