Dancer (One Direction//Little Mix)

Chapter 22

•Cora's POV•

"What do you mean he's out?" Harry spat.

"I mean he's out in public, he's with a girl. They're holding hands. I can't let what happened to me happen to her." I muttered. I watched Rick as he took the young girls hand and looked into her eyes saying something. She giggled and smiled, she had braces.

"Don't go over to him. Stay where you are. I'm coming to get you." Harry stated.

"Harry you're to far away." I sighed.

"No I'm not. We stopped where you are for a day because we needed a break. Now where are you?" He asked.

"I'm-"

"Cora, hi!" My head snapped over and Rick was waving at me.

"Uh hi!" I stated awkwardly.

"Cora stop. Where are you?" Harry demanded.

"By Funky Buddah." I stated before slipping my phone into my back pocket.

"Who's this?" The girl asked smiling.

"It's an old friend." Rick said.

"I'm not your friend Rick. And can I ask why you're out of jail?" I asked. The girl grimaced and squeezed his hand.

"Because the judge said I was done with my time." He shrugged.

"Do you know why he was in jail?" I asked the girl. She shook her head.

"Please don't Cora, I've changed." He begged.

"He abused me." I stated smirking.

"You did?" The girl asked.

"Yeah, I've changed baby." Rick admitted.

"Whatever. I love him and that's all that matters." She said, holding onto Rick.

"What did he do to you?" I asked.

"I'm pregnant. He wouldn't hurt his child, he did nothing." She said.

"How old is she?" I asked.

"Sixteen." Rick muttered.

"Rick! That's illegal!" I screamed.

"I love her Cora! She loves me! Please just leave us alone. C'mon Tiff." They ran off and I sighed.

A car pulled up beside me and Harry jumped out.

I pulled him into a hug and stared into his green eyes.

"Thank you." I whispered hugging him again.

"No problem love."

•

"Cora you're back!" Jared squealed like a girl hugging me. I laughed and hugged him back.

"I am!" I giggled. Jared and I have gotten really close since I've been here.

I pecked his cheek and let him go.

"Carly's upset." He sighed.

"Oh well, she'll get over it." I shrugged.

"Cora you're being a little harsh. You know that he killed himself and then her previous boyfriend broke up with her because he was weird, and then she likes Louis but he doesn't like her! She needs someone to help her."

"How much did she pay you?" I spat.

"None, look Cora, I love you both but this argument isn't helping any of us. It's making things worse." I sighed and slowly walked to Carly's bed.

"You can do this Cora, make things right. I trust you." I heard Jared mutter.

Guys I know this was really short but I have more things coming up. I'm going to end the book in about 20-30 chapters. But the second book is out so go read it:).
