Waiting For Superman → Styles

→Chapter Twenty

HARRY'S POINT OF VIEW

              We've all got a couple of skeletons in our closets, whether it's from lying, cheating or just doing something completely horrible, I probably got a billion of them.

While shaking my head I began to reminisce on those moments that I've done so many wrong things, on how I've tried to change it around like become a better person but then I simply realized that I can't change even if I tried, I was always gonna be me.

Staring down at the white mug in front of me filled up to the brim with now cold coffee I didn't even drink any of it, just watched the steam come up and disappear, chewing my lip I stand up and empty the mug in the sink then I head to the living room Wyoming still sat in the same position curled up on the couch all because of what happened one hour ago when she came home from work..

ONE HOUR AGO

Just a few minutes when I got of night school, Wyoming was already home looking anxious and timid she continuously tapped her foot. I flick up a brow, set my keys down then walk over taking a seat, Wyoming stayed still she even flinched when I sat down, I reach out wrapping an arm around her shoulders asking concerned "Baby what's wrong?" she doesn't move then finally she sighs, stands up and begins to pace the room I grew worried finally she stops looks at me with God damn amazing blue eyes and says "I ran into Zayn today while walking home," my eyes widened I stood up and clenched my fist "Did that bastard touch you?! I swear if he did-" well before I could finish my threat she asks "Harry how do you know my dad.." oh no..

If I tell her the truth she'll never trust me again then once more I'd become the villain so I did the only I could do; I just lied. I knelt down in front of Wyoming then began "Um well you see Wy.." usually I was good with lying, I've done it nearly my whole life, but when I looked into Wyoming's blue eyes I realized I wasn't gonna lie to her.

With a sigh I scratch the back of my neck then begun "The truth is Wyoming..around  2 years ago I use to be a boxer at some fight club, when I was getting ready for my last fight that night I heard a drunken man gloat about his daughter how she's good at sucking her own daddy's dick and just everything it disgusts me that someone could do that to there own child, but then the man brought up his daughters name which was you, Wyoming..." I watch her eyes widened, she then raises up a hand stroking my curls wanting me to continue "I knew you from school back when it was just a minor crush you were innocent and so nice it pissed me off that your dad was treating you that way, so I walked over to your dad, turned him around by his shoulder and punched him.."

The hand that was stroking my curls froze I continued "Just pictures of your father doing horrible things to you ran through my mind I couldn't stop punching him a few men had to pull me off, before they dragged me away I said to your dad "Your a disgusting man Winters, doing those horrible things to such a beautiful young girl!" Your dad just scoffed and replied "That little bitch deserves it, when I get home tonight ill beat her twice as hard and tell her she can thank you Styles!" Now I was was about to go after him again but the guys threw me out and told me I was never allowed to come back."

After that Wyomings whole body froze, she stared at me with such angst filled eyes, I stare down at the floor and say "I did it for you.."

END OF FLASHBACK

Now it's been an hour since we've spoken, she probably hates me now but I deserve it. Biting my lip the sound of the kitchen door opening has me looking up, Wyoming walked in wearing my jumper, she looks at me then crawls into my lap shocking me, I thought she hated me?

Just like that Wyoming lifted up her head, she nuzzles my jaw then explains "I should hate you because you beat up my daddy and he did beat me twice as hard, but I don't because he deserved it!" I smile a little kissing her forehead "He did deserve it, harming a beautiful girl like you.." Wyoming giggles she looks up at me pressing a chaste kiss to the corner of my mouth I smile and then we head up to bed, I don't fall asleep though instead I just watch over her. Maybe just maybe I didn't have to be the villain but instead the hero she needs.
