Chapter Fifteen

Harry's POV

"Mmm Harry"

A small groan vibrated against my lips.

"What?" I asked, pulling away from Scarlet's lips.

"Don't" she breathed.

See, I brought Scarlet back to Australia a couple of days after I saw her last, and now, today, I'm going to pay her ex-.... *cough* boy *ass* friend *hole* *cough*. A visit.

"Seriously Scar. I just feel like I should meet him- now stop kissing me so I can drive" I warned. She sunk in her seat and I entwined her fingers in mine. I raised her hand to my lips and left a kiss on her knuckle.

My eyes squinted, trying to find this jail. Scarlet gave me directions, fear coming out of her voice. I could see horror written all over her face- but when I get there, Cameron should be the one with horror.

"Here we are...." I whispered as I looked over at Scarlet, who fiddled with her hands.

"You don't have to come in, babe" I whispered in her ear. She shook her head.

"No. Let me go in first. He has some explaining to do" she sighed, before unbuckling her seatbelt and hopping out of the rental car.

I watched as she shakily walked up to the wired gates. There would have been at least seven layers of gates, I guess you could call it, getting higher until a smaller entrance.

Policeman surrounding the gates, we walked up, my arm around her waist.

Scarlet leant her head on my shoulder, while the policeman made a clear paths with a couple of 'hello's'.

I gulped as I read the sign.

'Silverwater Jail'

"Isn't this a jail for really bad.... Criminals....." I whispered. She froze and my grip around her waist tightened.

"Y-y-yeah" she shuddered, and we kept walking.

I shivered as we entered. The cold air and the smell of dangerous infected me.

We went up to a bored lady at the desk.

"H-hi. We're here to see Cameron Parks...." I whispered.

The woman's eyes widened.

"I-um-I-uh... Y-y-yeah okay...." She started, "but he's very dangerous. He has to stay behind bars at all times- he hurt me" she winced.

I sighed and Scarlet slipped out of my hold.

"You stay here Harry. I'll text you soon. I should go first." Scarlet sighed, and walked off with the woman.

****

Scarlet's POV

The woman slowly shook.

"Why do you want to... See HIM? HE IS A MONSTER!" She shrieked, "He hurt me," She whimpered.

".. I know how you feel. He's- he's my ex..." I whispered. She sent me an apologetic look.

"He's down there. Be careful," she warned, before scurrying off.

I walked slowly down the cells, until I got to one that held a dirty blonde.

I gulped.

His brown eyes ate away at me as they looked into mine.

"Long time no see, Scarlet" he growled.

I walked up closer to the bars hesitantly, shaking.

I gulped as he crept up closer to the front.

"So, how's things, bitch?" He grunted, gripping his hand tightly around one of the bars of the cell, making me step back.

"Fantastic without you around...." I mumbled. He rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

We stood in silence for a while, his eyes trailed up and down my body.

"Oh Scarlet... Please!! Bail me out!! I'll do anything! I'm sorry! Lets just forget about the past! Please, I love you!" He begged.

I didn't fall for his tricks.

"No way! Eww! I hate you! I HATE YOU! HARRY!" I screamed.

"Who the f-"

"Hey babe. Is everything okay?"

Harry appeared with no hesitation, wrapping his arms around my waist, cutting Cameron off.

"Who's this lunatic?" Cameron hissed towards Harry.

Harry's grip tightened around me. I could tell he was protecting me but he was also getting really pissed.

"Cameron, this is Harry, my boyfriend. Harry, this is Cameron, the ex-asshole" I hissed.

"Oh, yes" Harry crept toward the cell, "I've heard lots about you" Harry smirked.

Cameron started to get angry. He punched the bars, trying to get Harry. But Harry just stood back.

"Really, Scarlet? YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LOVE ANYONE BUT ME! You're such a slut!" Cameron shouted.

Harry's fists clenched so tight they were white.

I looked up at him with worried eyes. Harry's face softened and he went up to Cameron and whispered,

"I'll deal with you later, bastard"

And with that, a protective Harry and a confused me, went back to my apartment.
