Heart's Desire

chapter 9

[Graces POV]

We are standing at the exact same position, my back pressed to the tree. Harry’s arms wrapped around my waist, my hands around his neck. I don’t want to move nor say anything just want to stare at his eyes. Watch his perfect face. Still I can’t stop the innumerable questions in my mind.

Did harry kiss me because he still loves me??  Or only because I told him to kiss me??

His green eyes are staring my blue ones. All I can see is him, suddenly he looks away like something just clicked in his mind which distracted him. He changes his gesture by removing his hands from my waist. I detach my hands from his neck and straiten my dress.

Harry takes my hand in his hand and holds it tight. It makes my stomach flutter and I blush.

“I…” We both say at the same time, When we realize our mistake we smile.

“Let’s go inside yea?” Harry says with a sweet smile. Suddenly his mood has changed so much . I like it. I want him to be like this for the whole night. My mind worries about what will happen when we go inside? How will everyone react when they see our hands intertwined ?

But everything else aside why isn’t harry talking about the kiss? Should I start the topic?

I push all the questions at the back of my mind and start to walk inside with harry. Suddenly harry stops and I look at him his jaw tensed, he squeezes my hand. When I look at the direction where he is looking I see Tyler walking towards us ,his eyes on harry.

I panic a little when he looks at our intertwined hands and then at me. The anger in his eyes is replaced by disappointment …. Or is it hurt?

When Tyler reaches us he walks towards me and grabs my arm. He pulls me away from harry but harry still manages to hold my wrist.

“Are you okay? I was trying to find you” Tyler says with concern.

“Why do you care huh!!!” Harry shouts and steps between me and Tyler.

“She came here with me!!!  Anyways we’ll leave now!!” Tyler says ,tries to  grabs my hand. I don’t want to answer him nor do I know the reason of his behavior. Why are they shouting at each other?

Within seconds harry pushes him causing Tyler to hit the ground. Harry is now on top of him, he throws  multiple punches  on Tyler.

Tyler tries to get out of his grip. Tyler is not as muscular as harry.

“Harry Stop!!!” I shout but he ignores me and keeps punching him. This side of harry scares me a lot. I never thought harry would be so violent. He know Tyler is one of my best friends. If he doesn’t stop beating him, it can cause major damage.

I grab harry by his arm and try to pull him away. There is no one around who can help me right now.

“Harry  stop please” I beg. Realization hits me that I am crying until my cheeks are soaked by tears. He looks at me his eyes soften. He gets up and moves his hands to my face I flinch for a second I thought he would slap me. No matter what happens he would never hurt me like that.

“I’m sor-…” I don’t let him finish his sentence instead I walk to where Tyler is laying his nose is bleeding. I feel so sorry for him all he tried was to help me but harry. I am so angry at harry now. What the hell was he thinking when he punched him. I help Tyler to get up.

“I’m so sorry Tyler it’s all my fault” I sob.

I thought he would be angry at me but he just smiles “No it’s not your fault” says and looks at harry.

“Let’s go inside and clean -“  

“No you are not going anywhere with him!!!” Harry yells. I don’t want to neither do I want to spend time with angry harry.

“Tyler!!! Grace!!” We hear Lily’s voice , when she reaches us she looks at Tyler  and panics.

“Ohh my gosh!! What the hell happened here??!!” She shouts . She knows that this mess is caused by harry.

“Nothing can.. you take Tyler.. inside” I shutter. Lily nods.

Tyler doesn’t say anything he just walks out with lily. I turn towards harry he is simply standing like nothing happened.

“Why did you hit him??” I ask him as calmly as possible.

“I am not going to apologize”

“You’re not answering my question”

“Because I don’t want to”

“Fine” I sigh and start walking towards the door I want to leave this party right now.

“Where are you going ??!!” Harry shouts and follows me.

I decide to ignore him and keep walking. He can’t just hit my best friend and get away without apologizing.

He catches me by my arm which causes me to face him. “I asked you something” he says through his teeth.

“Home” I say we are still standing in the same position.

“Okay I’ll drop you” I am surprised by his offer . I nod and he leaves my arm. We walk out of the house and to the driveway. I will text Lily that I left. Harry unlocks his car, we get inside without saying a word to each other.

“It’s still very early to go home. Do you want to go somewhere else??” Harry asks. I am so confused between his angry and calm self. He turns on the heater.

  “Why are you behaving like this harry??”

“Like what??”

“Like first when I asked you to forgive me you were so rude. Then you wrote that poem in English class with I think was for me “ I felt a little embarrassed when I said that but I continue.

“Then....then you become all romantic and kiss me. I admit that kiss was amazing. And then you beat up Tyler for no reason. Why??” I sigh I am so tired of everything.

“I … you know what lets not talk about that here. I’ll take you somewhere quite” he smiles. I give in let’s see what else can happen in this night.
