Hidden ➳ [h.s]

8.

Ethan's eyes squint and I know he's fuming.

"You what?!" He shouts, the vein on his is neck strained and seems as though it's going to snap.

All too quickly Harry is under him and he's got his shirt in his fists. I should stop them but I'm too stunned with Harry's statement.

I love her.

He's never really taken any relationship of his seriously.

It's going to be the same kind of relationship with the other girls. He's just going to use me for sex. If it happens that is.

I swear to God I've never done anything to them and never will.

His words play around in my head. I believed him so strongly before his confession, now that he's planning to use me in his game, I'm not so sure of him anymore.

"I will fucking kill you, I swear to God I will kill you" Ethan growls at him.

Harry pushes him off and stands to his feet.

"There's nothing I can do, it's not in my hand anymore" Harry says

Ethan starts at him and lands a punch right on his jaw. Harry staggers back but doesn't return his blows.

Does he really love me?

If so, why? What's so appealing about me? Why isn't Harry fighting back?

"She won't be like Hailey. I swear to God, I'll protect her with my whole being" Harry says but is cut off with Ethan shaking his head

"I'll never give you the fucking chance. Never. I don't want to have this conversation again, forget her. You're going to stay the fuck away from her. I swear to God, I swear on my soul, I swear on my whole existence, no matter where ever the fuck you go to hide, I will come and find you, I'll smash your skull in. I will kill you, I swear on it. Stay the fuck away from my sister. I don't want to hear that shit again" he spits and turns on his heel to walk the other direction.

Harry is left there, he leans against the wall and wipes his bloody mouth and the dripping blood from his nose. I hear him let out a deep sigh.

Without overthinking it, I step around the corner and walk towards him.

His eyes meet mine and I see panic strike through them. It's a completely pure emotion.

"What are you doing here?" He asks me

Should I lie or tell him the truth?

"I thought I heard Ethan" I say. I really am a coward.

"He's in business" he says to me, pointing towards a door at the end of the corridor.

"What happened to you?" I say inspecting his face. The blood on his face, makes him appear intimidating.

"Small banter" He says

"Why didn't you talk to me today?" I say before my brain can process it.

He looks surprised.

"I never got the chance" he simply says

"Can you take me somewhere? We need to talk" I say

He nods and leads me out of the block.

"Where do you want to go?" He says

"Somewhere. Anywhere"

"There isn't many places I know in school that's out of the public eye except for the game room. But I suppose you're banned from there"
