Dead melody (Harry Styles/Jai Brooks)

Chapter 14

Eva's POV

I opened my eyes to a dark room, I was convinced it was still night, I had managed to sleep and it felt like I had been asleep for hours yet no day light was entering. I groaned to myself before feeling like shuffle next to me

"Morning" he whispered. So it was morning, but why was the room so dark, was there no windows

Harry sat up and I heard him feel around for something before I heard a crack and a hiss and soon a small glimpse of candle light lit up his face

"I'll take you down to your dress room so the maids can dress you for breakfast" he said in a tired voice as he walked over to the door. He was naked and so was I

"Isn't there anything I can cover myself with" I asked in a whisper. Harry's head cracked towards me

"Well your going to get dressed" he said. I nodded

"Yes but, I can't just walk there naked" my voices cracked as I was scared Harry's temper would come out. He just rolled his eyes to me

"What's the point, when you arrive they are to wash you, to do so they would have to undress you first, so in theory you'd go prepared now hurry up we don't have all day" he said as he opened up the door. I nodded and slowly began to escape the warmth of the bed sheets. A cold breeze hit me as I walked over to the door to follow luke.

I put one arm across both my breasts and placed my other one down below.

I followed Harry to a room only a few doors down

"Remember where this is, this is your dressing room" he said as he opened the door and pushed me inside.

I stumbled and he shut the door. I looked up and saw the maids

"Right your bath is ready, come with me" the one I learnt to be Mary said. I nodded and followed her

Mary's POV

Naked and exposed. How else would I expect her to come in. Harry did that on purpose I know it, he was exposing her for all she was worth. Exposing her lost dignity, her scars and her bruises from the nights unholy ways. God I could tell that now, in this very moment, she knew who luke really was, and yet it had cesed to be 24 hours even.

She flinched and tensed as I poured the water over her, I could tell that it was from both physical pain and also fear.  Scared I'd hurt her again.

"Mary, can I talk" I heard jais voice call as he walked though

"One moment Jai I'm bathing Eva"

Eva's POV

I turned my head as I saw Jai barge in. He looked at me then turned away

"Oh god I'm so sorry" he said "I'll come back later" he said and turned to leave.

Mary chuckled slightly

"He's not use to have a lady in the house" she laughed. I laughed slightly too. I could tell already that Jai and Mary had a strong relationship. Not lover but friends, maybe even a little like mother and son. I know harry and jais mother was dead. I heard she killed herself from the grief of losing her eldest son beau.

"Are you close to Jai" I asked her

"Very, ever since his mother passed on I was there for him, well even before I was still always close to him" she laughed, running a cloth down my back

"He's a lovely boy, really is" she said and signed "just a shame Harry isn't" I heard her mutter under the breath.

"So, Harry then, what was he like, when he was younger" I asked her. She froze for a moment before diving the sponge back into the water

"Different, why do you ask, is something wrong?" She asked.

"He just seems...different" I whispered as last night came flooding back to me. Mary huffed "I know what I've married" I whispered "you don't need to sugar coat anything, one night with him told me enough" I told her. Thinking she would just tell me something which covers his true self.

She coughed slightly

Mary's POV

Harry had orders in place for us. What I mean is we have orders which are too hurt her. I didn't really know how to respond or act of even feel about this.

"Come on darling, let's get you dressed" I said patting her back. She nodded slightly and stood herself up. I wanted to offer her support but how would it feel if someone who seemed to care infact fed to the pain. To be supported by the Person who caused you the pain is something which can destroy a person. Well it destroys me alone being the one to do it. All of us are hurting from it. But we can't disobey Harry. God help anyone who disobeys him. When he becomes king, I can see the land becoming officially fucked. The current king knows this, we all know this.

I wrapped a towel around her, resisting the erge to hug her. I could tell she felt saddened. I could feel my heart breaking as I helped her climb out. She'd feel along and isolated, in this problem alone with no one able to hear her cries. And those who do will be the ones who are cold to her and just block out the sound.
