Fallin for you

chapter 6

i felt butterflies in my stomach, and fireworks. it was weird becauss i never felt these with brandon. why harry? during the past week every question, harry cared a little more, until he cared alot. we pulled away from the kiss.

"aubrey im uh sorry"

he began to get up but i pulled him back down, we kissed again.

again the sparks.

"why'd you do that?"

"why'd you kiss me in the first place"

"because it felt right"

"well right you were"

we talked for awhile longer. actually all night. my mom didnt care because she knew how close we were and it was a weekend anyway. it was my dad who was concerned.i saw him peak in every once in awhile. my mom just giggled and told him to leave us alone. harry and i watched a ton of movies, and then fell asleep at 3 in the morning.

i woke up at 10, i looked over to see harry watching me sleep.

"your so cute when you sleep"

"oh am i?"

i giggled and blushed. we went downstairs, my mom had made breakfast. she talked to harry while i went to get dressed. we were going to the mall today so i wanted to look nice. i put on a dress that was just above my knees, it was a maroon ish color and a jean jacket/ sweatshirt over it with white converse. i got my makeup and hair ready and went downstairs.

"mom did you interrogate him?"

i joked with her

"maybe a little bit"

"mooooom! c'mon harry lets go. mom were gonna go to the mall today, i have my phone and wallet and stuff"

"okay be home by 5! have fun!"

we went to his house so he could get ready, he told me to come in but once his dad yelled he told me its safer to wait outside.

safer?

i heard alot of yelling and screaming, mostly from his dad. then i heard a crash. i cringed at the noise. then silence. i began to get worried as what had happened, harry came out in a hurry and he has covered the right side of his face.

"harry?"

i was quiet, and a little scared to be honest.

"what?"

he snapped

"look at me harry"

he looked at me and i saw his eye was bleeding and beginning to bruise. i turned to face him and tried to touch his eye but he moved away.

"harry..."

"aubrey dont tell anyone!"

"tell anyone what?"

i already knew what was happening but i just wanted to make sure and dont assume anything

"my dad okay hes a mess i know!"

he was freaking out, i grabbed his hand to calm him down.

"harry, you cant let him do that to you. he needs help"

harrys dads obviously an alcoholic, and he beats him.

"i know he does but hes a good guy alright! can we please go now"

i sat straight and didnt talk for most of the car ride.

he pulled over.

"what are you doing"

"look im sorry i didnt mean to snap at you its just that i didnt want anyone to know"

he stroked his hand in his hair and his shirt lifted up a little. there was a bruise.

"whats this?"

i lifted up his shirt to see it better. it was a huge bruise and it looked painful.

"why does he do this?"

i went in my wallet and grabbed a few bandaids, i put them by his eye for now but were going back to my house to get him cleaned up.

"because when my mom left him he began to go crazy, he drank and now hes abusive"

"go to my house"

"what are your parents gonna think?"

"they wont care, harry they like you. you can tell them"

we pulled up to my house and i unlocked the door.

"back so soon?"

"yeah, ill explain later"

i took him up to my bathroom and sat him on the toilet. i took the bandaids off and got a warm towel. i put it over his eye and he cringed and winced.

"keep that there"

i ran downstairs and into the freezer and grabbed icepacks and dishrags.

once i got back to the bathroom harry was still there. he had tears in his eyes. i cleaned up his eye and noticed he was fighting tears

"harry its okay to cry, just let it all out"

he started to cry softly and i hugged him.

"take your shirt off"

"what why?"

"because i wanna see your bruises"

he took his shirt off but was hesitant. there wasn't just bruises.

there was whip marks.
