Simply Hello

Chapter 5

HARRY POV

        I watch Cassie walk away from me "Cassie wait," I called after her but I knew she was not going to respond, damn it  I thought as she stiffened for a moment listening to what I said then sighing and walking on. She didn't even look back to see the fear and desperation behind my eyes, I want her to know everything but I cant. I want her to be in my arms and for me to go back to the way it was. I wish I could press start over on this whole day and redo the first impression she got of me. For right now I will have to put up with her thinking of me as the stereotypical asshole. 

        This isn’t happening Cassie she can’t be falling for him, no she just can’t. She will be hurt for sure and I can’t stand to see her cry even though I promised myself I need to keep my distance I just can’t. There is just something about her that keeps pulling me closer.  She has no clue of what Zac is capable of he is a lying bastard; he always pretends he’s innocent and sweet. He had his eyes on Cassie since she walked into that classroom, her unawareness of her perfect body and innocents is total bait for Zac. Gemma had no clue what he was either he had her so fooled until that video was sent to all of his friends and he told he never loved her.

        Now Gemma’s in the hospital due to her getting so sick lately this has been happening since Zac crushed her already fragile heart. All Zac did was used her, fucked her and dumped her just to prove to me that he is better than me, I should have seen it coming. Gemma cried so hard when he told her he didn’t love her, Zac is a bastard and I am not going to let him ruin anyone else’s life, not mine, and definitely not Cassie’s. 

He already is pulling Cassie into his game, he is sick. Cassie just walked away and pretended not to hear me call out to her; I pulled my hair, which is what I do when I’m stressed out. “Looks like I have a new play thing Styles, hope you don’t mind,” Zac said bumping into me, I clenched my jaw closed and balled my fists, Zac had a bruise on the side of his nose from the fight this morning, I hope it hurt him.

        “Don't you dare touch Cassie I swear to God I will kill you,” I said narrowing my eyes and tensing up, I have no idea why I became so protective over Cassie but I am and it scares me, “Not a chance Styles, she’s mine, this will be a fun one, I heard she’s a virgin, so vulnerable,” Zac said smirking and putting on his sunglasses “I would love to chat but I have a chick to fuck, oh and Harry tell Gemma I said Hi,” he said then sauntered out of the classroom, it took all of my control to keep myself from fighting him again.

I need to keep her safe, she needs to be protected I thought to myself. I had enough crap today so I decided to ditch class and I headed to my car. I plugged in my eaphones into my iPod as I walked to my car hopping the music would calm my nerves from all of the anger towards Zac and the stress of Gemma's doctor appointment bubbling up inside of me. The cold air provided me with a sense of privacy, the fog became my disguise as I started walking over the semi-frozen grass, I love the weather here it never is too bright and it hides you in it. I love the feeling of being hidden in the fog I gives me the peace of mind to actually think things through when I need to.

Across I saw Cassie and I watched her smile down at her phone, she’s beautiful holy crap where did that thought come from? She looked up and saw me I quickly looked away and got into my car. I turned on the radio and listened to a random station as I fell asleep. Just as my eyes drifted closed *ring ring ring* my phone went off, I groaned and pulled my phone from my pocket, it was Gemma. I clicked answer. 

Harry- “Hey Gem did the results come back, what’s going on the stomach flu?” 

Gemma- “Har-Har-Harry....i-it’s” she said chocking on on sobs 

Harry- “Gem?Gem!! What’s going on please!” I said tugging my hair 

Gemma- “I ha-have cancer” she said bursting back into sobs 

  

I couldn’t breathe every thought that was in my mind completely gone away; my thought process went blank. My older sister, Gemma the only person I have left is going to die.  My sister is going to be sick all the time, she will die in probably less than a year.

Gemma- “Harry...please say something. I-I need you to say something anything,” she said sniffing

Harry- “I cant!! Gem how did this happen to you!! This is hurting you, this is hurting our family!!” 

Gemma- “Harry please calm down just please come to the hospital over your classes so we can talk” she said hanging up before I could say anything  

I threw my phone on the passenger’s seat and slammed my fist into the steering wheel “FUCK!” I said pounding my fists and pulling my hair.  This can’t be happening,not to my sister she is all I have left. She is the only person who I have trusted with anything in my life, she is the only person in the whole world who knows how I was before all the family crap, she knew me before I went down the path of losing myself. Gemma is my biggest supporter and my strongest shoulder to lean on. 

I ran into my car quickly pulled out the picture of Gemma and I as children, we were laughing our heads off next to mum on christmas morning, Dad was on a business trip so we had the house all to ourselves. I put the keys into the ignition and sped out of the parking lot. I started my 20-minute drive to the hospital to see my sister. 

At that moment I promised myself one thing, I need to keep Cassie safe if my life depended on it. I will never let her end up like Gemma, never I cant lose another person.
