Blair's P.O.V.

He has been sitting in that dark corner for almost six hours now.

The moon shines through the open window, illuminating his features. I'm awed.

"Harry?" I whisper, afraid I might anger him.

His lips were slightly parted, his green eyes weren't there original bright emerald green ones, bloodshot. He wasn't moving at all, like he wasn't even breathing.

After Rebecca left, I had to leave with my mom for dinner at my uncle's place. I insisted him to come with me but he didn't even want to listen to anything. He pushed me against the wall and growled against my neck, making me jump. He wasn't the Harry I had known, this Harry was different, dark. His long fingers snaked around my neck, his tongue swiped his beautifully pink lips but his eyes looked dangerous. "Just leave, before I do something" he hissed and closed his eyes. "Harry what..?" "Leave me alone Blair!" he shot and his grip on my neck became tighter, making me choke. I struggled to escape his hold but he was stronger than I had thought. My eyes closed as my breathing fell and a tear slid through my cheeks, landing on his hand, threatening to choke me to death. His eyes immediately opened, back to its amazing colour. His grip loosened and there was confusion etched on his face. I pushed him away and ran out to meet my mom waiting for me downstairs. I was shocked, terrified.

The entire dinner I remained quiet. My lack of attention got everyone worried but I was worried about him. What triggered that dark side in him? The mere presence of Rebecca? I decided to talk to him once I'm back home, praying he hadn't left.

"Harry" I said a little louder this time, nearing him. No response.

I hesitated but then I touched his shoulder lightly. He immediately sucked in a breath at the contact and his muscles tensed. I slowly turned his face towards me. Pale face, red eyes, puffy nose, dry tears. It hurts to see him like this. I embraced his cheeks, making him breath faster. His eyes didn't connect with mine as he seemed distant. "You all right?" I asked him, trying to make him come back from his blank zone. "You care to ask that? You should be hating me!" his voice cracked at the end. "Shh Harry. I don't hate you. I understand how hard this is for you. I know you didn't want to scare me, it was Rebecca. She must have controlled you." I said, resting my hand on his knee. "Why do you think I was being controlled?" he asked looking at me, his protruding cheek bones looking sharper in the moon light. "You aren't this Harry. You can never do that." I replied. "Huh you don't even know me" he laughed. "I know I don't know you, but I know that wasn't you." I smiled. "If only you knew me Blair, you wouldn't have been here" he choked on his words. I didn't know what to say.

"I want to know you." I said almost after five minutes of the haunting silence between us.

He looked at me with wide eyes. "What?"

"I want to know you."

"Why would you want to know about me?"

"Because I'm going to try and help you Harry. I can't see you like this."

"You can't help me Blair"

"I am the only person on the planet Harry who can see you and hear you. Who else is going to help you?"

"Nobody can help me."

"Stop being negative for God's sake, I'm going to try."

"Stop being fucking stubborn. You don't have to help me. There's no way you can. And I am not letting you know about me. The fact that you can see me and hear me doesn't mean you've got a right on me!"

"What?"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP"

"H..Harry. I'm so sorry."

I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I leaned against the wall and heard him curse outside.

"Blair" I heard a voice. Not him. I could see her in the mirror, next to me.

"Stay away from Harry. You've seen the sweet side but the darkens in him lurks stronger."

"Its because of you!"

"His darker side inflected everything."

And she was gone.

"Blair open the door" he shouted from outside.

I didn't have the courage to open the door and see him again. I didn't move from my place.

"You know i can come inside if I want to" he sighed. "Please open the door Blair."

"Leave me alone for sometime please"
