Keeping Hope (Harry styles fanfic)

Chapter 7

Tyler took a step closer to Emma. "You don't know who Hope is? God, this is fun," He laughed out loud.
"Leave her the fuck alone!" Harry shouted.
"This brings back memories, right Styles?" Tyler reached out, running a finger down Emma's jaw. She was too scared to move, glancing down at Harry, tears trapped in her eyes.
"Fuck you Tyler! I will kill you motherfucker!" Harry broke through the hold of the two guys, pushing them aside as he got up to his feet. Tyler turned to punch Harry. Emma seeing what was about to happen reached out to stop him.
"Don't touch me bitch!" Tyler yelled punching her in her face, making her fall onto the pavement, triggering boy and dog to launch themselves onto Tyler.

Emma's POV

My cheek is burning. I feel as if my whole face is broken from the punch. I pick myself up watching Harry and Hoover attack Tyler, his friends long gone, too scared to stay and help.
"Harry- STOP- Hoover come here!" I cry out. The dog listens to me, pacing to my side.
Harry keep on punching and cursing Tyler, accusing him of costing him two year of his life.
"You pinched two years of my life! Screwing my family! Lying! Making me take the fall! You will pay you piece of shit!"
"Harry- Harry stop- you'll kill him!" I wrap my arms around his waist trying to pull him back.
"Get away from me!" He pushes me, making me fall back. Hoover jumps up at him growling.
"What? So the girl pets you and you take her side?" Harry looks down at him, finally stopping. Harry walks over pulling me to my feet and down the street away from Tyler.
"Harry- we need to go back- we need to see he's all right!" I beg trying to break his hold on my arm.
"Are you out of your mind? The guy punched you in the face and you want to go back?"
He keep on struiding pulling me after him.
"Harry- let me go- I want to go back!" I tug, "That was Jen's boyfriend right? You can't just leave him there!"
"Watch me!" He hisses.
"Why did you do that? Why did you pick a fight with him? You can go back to jail for that".
Harry turns to face me. His eyes black with rage.
"I picked a fight? You have no Idea what you're talking about!" He spits.
"First of- Yes you were- and second let me go!" I swipe at his fingers with my free hand. "This is crazy! How can you beat up someone like that and just walk away?" I exclaim, "I must go back!"
"You can't- he punched you damn it- and you want to go back? He will do it again- he's done it before- If you go I will not come and save you;" He threatens.
"What do you mean he's done it before? You're talking crazy," I am full of despair. Harry is starting to scare me. Shouting and blaming Tyler for crazy things.
"You think you know it all ha? Well you know fucking nothing!" He hisses in anger.
"So tell me," I whisper calmly, promising myself I will not raise my voice at him- I will stay relaxed even though I am scared shit.
"Like you share your secrets with me? So are we friends now? Now you suddenly care? After wanting to go back and see if that fucker is ok? Two can play this game Emma- Why can't you swim ha? What did you mean when you said 'not again'? Tell me!" He grabs my arm again pulling me closer to him as he looks down his nose at me. I freeze. I haven't realized I shared anything about the last time this happened with him.
I glance up at him, my eyes wide with alarm.
"You see you don't share- so I won't share," He chuckles. A evil sound comes out of his mouth.
"I can swim," I say without thinking. I used to know how, but after the incident I just couldn't do it, I just couldn't go into the water again.
"Oh you can? Well let's see how good of a swimmer you are- since the last time I saw you sink rather than float." Harry is pulling me to the back of a dark house. I try to slow him down begging him to let me go but he just won't listen. When we reach the back of the house I can see the dark waters of a pool. Fear takes over me- he wouldn't- would he?
"Harry please- please don't," I plead with him, struggling to break his hold on my wrists.
"Why the hell not? Show me what a swimmer you are," He paces towards the pool pulling me after him.
"Harry please!" I am getting a panic attack, my vision glazes as tears fill my eyes. I am trying to catch my breath, to swallow down the fear that caught in my throat.
"Ready? Here we go!"
