Dead melody (Harry Styles/Jai Brooks)

Chapter 13

Eva's POV

I followed Jai down to the greenhouse. I must admit I felt foolish being in only a throw but Jai didn't seem to mind nor question it.

We arrived at the greenhouse and it was as expected. A room full of plants but the pure serenity of it sleeping somehow made it more beautiful. How the moon seemed to light up the snoozing greens and how the silence felt like a lullaby.  I could defiantly see how Jai found peace  here

"Wow it's lovely" I said and Jai smiled at me.

"I know, told you it helps you relax, it really allows you to clear your mind he laughed. Him saying that made me think of Harry, what he did. But the room helped ease that feeling of pure disturbance.

Me and Jai stayed in silence, absorbing the room until Jai whispered

"What do you think of my brother?"

I mean it came as a shock and I didn't know how to respond really.

"He-he-he's nice" I managed out.  Jai raises an eyebrow

"Eva?" He asked and I snapped out of a daze I didn't realise I was in 

"What, honestly he seems wonderful" I wanted to convince myself I was telling the truth but I knew I wasn't. It had barley been 24 hours and already I had relished what a shit storm I was in for. For life.

"He's a bit of a shitbag, I know that, I can see it in your eyes-"

"And what is happening here" I heard Harry's voice disturb the peace. I felt my whole body tense in fear

"I simply couldn't sleep, it was apparent Eva couldn't either so I took her here to relax with us both" Jai said, Harry's eyes narrowed And I nodded.

He walked over to me and snatched up my wrist

"Come on Eva, I awoke to find you no longer there" he said in almost a growl and started to drag me out. I turned back to Jai who looked distressed. I turned back to Harry and then the grip of his hand on my wrist, I could already see red bruising it was that tight.

We made it back to his room, again we were engulfed in darkness and luke removed the throw and threw me into the bed. I rubbed my wrist as Harry got in at his side. I then felt my hair get janked back and luke whispering

"Don't ever leave me again" he sounded threatening and I was honestly terrified. He pushed my head forward and then turned himself over.

Silently the tears began to fall down my face. I wanted to go back in time and tell myself to run. That this wasn't going to be how the story's described. That in fact I'd be trapped with the monster, the prince was a lie, but then again they never went into detail about married life

I curled myself into a ball before feeling Harry's cold hand rest upon my thigh as he slowly began to pull it down, so I was no longer curled up. He then slowly began to pull it up and outwards so my legs were open. I was too scared of what he would do if I resisted so I went with it.

He then began to slide his hand in between my thighs, causing me to shiver, and just leaving it there.

I was relieved he wasn't going to go any further. I was going to wait awhile until I knew he was fully asleep before moving myself back into a curled up ball.

----

It had felt like hours, I heard like deep breaths and I knew he was asleep. I began to move his hand slowly away from its resting place and curled my leg back up, closing my eyes. I sighed to myself, I'd cry but I was all dried up.

Just then I herd footsteps approaching, I started to breath softer, becoming conscious of my heavy breaths

The footsteps stopped outside the door and I heard the sound of something sliding down the door before I heard the soft whispers of a voice. A voice belonging to Jai.

"It's okay Eva, it's your first night, I know you've seen him for who is he is, but I promise to make sure your okay, even if you do become not okay- if that even make sense which it doesn't but that doesn't matter. What matters is that if you need someone you'll know I'm here, yet I know you can't hear me, just know I'm here" I heard Jai sigh "god where was I even going with that"

I couldn't help but smile. Though all the pain and distress Harry caused me, hearing Jai say that made it all just numb slightly.
