Harry's POV

I watched in sympathy as Scarlet's body shook on my lap.

"H-h-he...." She stuttered.

"Shhhh...." I whispered.

Her arms were tightly clung around my neck and her head was buried into my chest as the occasional tear rolled down her cheek.

"Harry.... He wanted me.... To bail- him out..... And... Then he tried to hurt y-y-you!" She shrieked, and buried her head into the crook of my neck.

"Shhh, Scar. Everything's alright. Everyone's safe..." I reassured her, and she nodded.

"I know..." She whispered and she wiped the tears from her cheeks and eyes.

She blew her nose from a tissue that was in her hand before getting up and putting it in the bin. She then came and sat back next to me.

I watched as Bondi Beach filled up with more and more people.

"Hey.... B-b-babe?" I heard Scarlet say. I turned around and saw that she was blushing.

I let a small chuckle slip from my lips and placed a hand on her thigh. She flinched at the movement, but then put her hand in mine.

"Mmmhm?" I hummed.

"Swim?" She asked.

I looked out at the sunny day.

I shook my head. She gasped.

"W-why?" She asked.

I leant over and whispered in her ear, "cause we're going tonight"

She looked a bit taken aback, but she smiled and nodded.

"Alright" she smiled.

"C'mon, let's go to the mall" I said, and stood up, yanking her up with me.

"Why..?" Scarlet asked as she grabbed her purse.

I shrugged, "something to do".

She smiled and we began to walk to the mall.

*******

As we got to the mall, of course, fans.

Freaking. Everywhere.

Taking pictures, Throwing questions, hate, and even rubbish (A/N trash) at us.

I rolled my eyes and Scarlet's hand was tightly clenched with mine. I rubbed my thumb over her hand to soothe her, and seemed to calm her a little.

Scarlet's face scrunched up at the piercing screams, and her shoulders hunched. They didn't affect me because I was used to it. After a while you go deaf.

Anyways...

"Harry? What are you doing back in Australia?"

I heard a familiar voice behind me. I frowned and turned around.

My eyes widened, "A-a-Annabelle?"

Annabelle was my ex- she was also Australian.

We broke up a long time ago- it was before I had become famous. I was over here for a holiday, and we met and hooked up and all that jazz-but we kept the relationship going, only for another five months though. I was fourteen.

Scarlet let go of my hand.

"So, long time, no see" she purred as she crept closer towards me.

"Yeah..." I chuckled nervously, scratching the back of my neck.

I heard Scarlet clear her throat from beside me.

"Oh... Um... Uh.... Annabelle, this is Scarlet, my girlfriend. Scarlet, this is Annabelle, my ex-girlfriend" I said nervously. Both their eyes widened. They stared at each other so intensely it made me sick.

"So... A new slut to add to the manwhore's list, yeah?" Annabelle said.

The fans were crazy at this point, as well as paparazzi.

"Umm... Annabelle I-"

"Yep. Just another slut" Scarlet cut me off.

I gulped as they continued to creep toward each other.

"Ha! He's had so many" Said Annabelle.

"Yeah... Too bad you were one of them" Scarlet smirked.

I gasped as Annabelle pushed Scarlet to the ground.

"Scarlet!" I screamed, and went to run up to her, but she got up.

"Ha! Fail!" Annabelle yelled. She laughed and Scarlet stopped dusting herself off.

"No one asked for your life story" Scarlet hissed, before mumbling soon after, "you skank...."

"No one asked... For yours either?" Annabelle tried, but failed.

"Ha! You suck *sneeze*penis*sneeze*, Annabelle. See ya around, bitch" Scarlet hissed, and walked off sassily.

"Wait!" Annabelle yelled. Scarlet spun on her heel.

"Hmm?" Scarlet hummed.

"I'll get him back one day- you'd better watch your back..." She said.

She went to walk off, but as I took Scarlet's hand in mine, she stopped.

"Hey, Annabelle?" Scarlet called.

Annabelle turned and raised an eyebrow.

"When I see you, my middle finger gets a boner- see?" Scarlet said, and gave her the finger, before we walked off like we owned the place. The paparazzi had left by then with the fans, only a couple of them following us.

"You were smooth back there, babe" I told her.

She just laughed and we walked to get some lunch.
