chapter eighteen - honesty

Harry stared at me, his eyes blank as he processed what I had just told him. "I got up immediately and left. I'm sure he didn't know what he was doing, he was super drunk." I mumbled nervously. His jaw was clenched as he looked down in his lap. "He's been having a hard time, so I went to go make sure he was okay. I'm sorry." I whispered, looking down at my lap. "Are you okay?" he asked angrily. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. It just brought back a lot of unwanted memories." I admitted, biting my lip nervously. "If it wasn't for the fact that I'd get kicked out of school, I'd beat the shit out of him." he seethed, crossing his arms and laying back on the bed. "I just wanted to be honest with you." I sighed, reaching for his hand.

"Look, forget about Jay and forget about school. Forget about everything for a second. Just be here with me. I don't want to deal with this right now." he whispered, taking my face in his hand and kissing me. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. Our lips danced as his hands travelled down my body, making me shiver. He pulled away and pressed sloppy kisses down my neck, making me moan. I guided his head back up and kissed him, my body arching against his. I felt the stress of everything melt away as we kissed, and things felt like they would be okay. Moments like these drove me crazy, made me intoxicated with his every touch. This is what I needed, all I needed. Harry was always enough to make everything go away.

"I need you." he groaned, pulling away from the kiss. "Well, if you insist." I giggled, pecking his lips lightly. He chuckled before laying back with a smirk. I wrapped my legs around his waist and sat up, straddling him. I admired his chest as I leaned down and pressed small kisses down his shoulders. He reached over and pulled my shirt over my head. His eyes looked me over as I sat there in just my bra. This was always the scary part. The part that made me feel not that great about myself. "You're so fucking beautiful." he mumbled, pulling me down onto him and crashing his lips against mine. I unlatched my bra as we kissed, tossing it down over the side of the bed. He ran his hands over my chest, making me moan into the kiss. "What, does that feel good?" he smirked, making me laugh.

"Stop teasing me so much." I groaned, running my fingers through his hair. He kicked off his sweatpants and kissed me right above the waistline of my leggings. "Then it wouldn't be very fun." he smirked, pulling them down my legs and leaving us both in our underwear. He began to trace my body with his fingers.  "Mine." he whispered. "Yours." I mumbled, nodding and tugging on the ends of his hair.  "You have no idea what you do to me." he said, reaching over and taking my hand in is. I looked deep into his blue eyes, knowing he meant every word. He kissed down my body lovingly. This was what I wanted, what I needed. Harry was enough to help me forget about all the crazy shit going on.

Harry and I sat out in the courtyard field area, out on a blanket with our lunches laid out in front of us. I munched on my rice bowl and looked out at the  other students, some playing soccer, others just laying and staring up at the sun. I had some music playing lightly from my speaker and Harry and I were jamming out to ourselves. I put my bowl to the side and laid down, my head on his lap. He looked down at me with a smile, goofily singing along to the words and doing a little dance. I giggled as I watched him, and I realized how lucky I was to have him in my life. Our relationship was getting strong again. We both were pretty forgiving, really invested in our relationship, and in love.

He looked up and frowned, closing his hands into fists. I looked up and saw Jay approaching us cautiously. "What do you want?" said Harry, crossing his arms. I sat up and smiled apologetically. "Vee, can we talk?" asked Jay, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. I nodded and stood, looking down at Harry unsurely before following Jay a few paces away. "Carlos told me about last night. I literally don't even remember it." he admitted, shaking his head. "Jay, you can't just drink your problems away. I know you really liked Lonnie and are stressed with the sports stuff, but doing this to yourself isn't gonna help." I said, crossing my arms. He sighed and nodded, looking down at the floor and kicking at the grass.

"I'm really sorry." he said, biting his lip and putting his hands in his pockets. "It's okay, I just need some space right now." I answered, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "Vee, I care a lot about you and it just got lost in translation. You're one of my best friends. I don't want that to stop." he said, reaching out to my shoulder. I took a step back from his grasp and nodded, looking down. "Look Jay, there's a lot you don't know about me. For reasons I can't tell you, I just need my space right now. You're still one of my best friends, I just need time." I warned. I waved and walked back over to Harry, plopping down on the blanket next to him. Jay walked back towards school, his head hung and his hands in his pockets.

"He feels bad." I noted, laying my head against Harry's chest. "He should." muttered Harry, kissing the top of my head. "I know you kinda want to kill him right now, but you have to get over it. You have a huge fencing match next week and you've gotta work with him." I said, looking up at him and kissing his jaw. "I know, it's just hard. He gave me a chance when he didn't want to, so I guess I have to do the same." he shrugged. "Wow, look at my man being all wise. It's pretty hot." I joked, making him laugh. He reached over and started to tickle me, making me squirm and squeal as his fingers attacked my side. "Stop!" I laughed, trying to get away. I jumped up from the blanket and ran away, him closely behind me.

He snatched me up in his arms, throwing me over his shoulders and making me scream. "Help!" I yelled jokingly, kicking my legs up in the air. He put me down on my feet and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close to him. "I'm so in love with you." he said, tracing my lips with his thumb. I blushed and smiled, jumping up and kissing him. He kissed me back, taking my face in his hands. I felt invincible, like nothing could break us. I think Jay and I would be okay. I wanted to be open with him, to tell him about Jake and why the kiss affected me as much as it did, but I honestly didn't have the strength to. Right now, all I wanted to do was to be with Harry. I wanted all my problems to just disappear, and I just wanted school to be a lot lesss complicated. Things were so good here. Would it be impossible to go back?
