Don't let me go?

Chapter 34

Harry's POV

Rose was in front of me, her eyes were closed and her head was tilted towards the left. It was then, that her hands got my attention. They were bruised and had marks of his fingers on then. He had held her so brutally and his grip had left marks on her.

I gently stroked them and she flinched even in her sleep. She tossed and turned to her right, where I was sitting and that revealed her neck towards me, which had a hickey on it.

The sight brought tears to my eyes. Why her? She hasn't got any less problems in her life already that this horrific incident had to stain her mind.

It broke me on the inside to see her condition, for all the things she had to go through. It was my mistake! I forced her to go to the party, I let her go alone, I wasn't there when she needed me the most.

I bowed down a little and kissed her forehead as a gesture of apologizing to her for my absence.

I sat there in silence and watched her sleep. I was noticing her rhythmic breathing and how she looked like a baby with her eyes closed.

Watching someone sleep is such a beautiful experience. You actually realise how much you love someone when you watch them sleeping, when your world is dead silent without their laughter filling it in. When they are away from all the pain and atrocities of life, swimming deep in the oceans of a better world of dreams.

I willed myself to imagine a world without her, what a worthless world it would be to live in.

Watching her sleep triggered so many thoughts in my mind. What if I had never met her? What if tomorrow she isn't in my life? What a void her absence would create in my life.

How strange is the fact that I cannot imagine my life without her being a part of it.

I kept watching her sleep for long, I enjoyed it so much. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, the peace she deserved in her life. The peace I'd do anything for.

It was nearly 02 am when I felt a little drowsy, so I just made myself comfortable on the couch that was kept in her room.

It had hardly been an hour, when I woke up due to her scream.

"Get away, leave me alone!!" She was screaming and fidgeting.

I got up and hugged her real tight and tried to calm her down but she was crying uncontrollably. It's gonna take time to get her out of this incident!

"Calm down Rose, it's alright. You're at your place and no one can touch you. I'm here for you."  I tried to comfort her.

She just hugged me and cried even more.

"Will you please stay with me Harry?" She asked.

"I'm right here Rose. I'm not leaving you. I'm right there on the couch, you can wake me up if you need anything, anytime." I told her.

"No! Stay with me, here!"

"Rose, I'm just a few steps away from here." I said.

"Harry, I don't wanna sleep by myself. I feel so vulnerable, like anything can happen." She looked me in the eye and all I could see in her's was fear.

"I won't let anything happen to you. That's my promise to you." I meant it with a my heart.

"What problem do you have in staying here!?" She asked.

"I..erm..

"Please, for me?" She requested me.

"Okay."

"Wait, I'll get you Liam's clothes. How will you sleep in denims." She said, being more considerate about other, as always.

"There's no need of it Rose, I'll manage."

"But you don't have to. Give me a minute." She insisted and left the room.

She came back with a black t-shirt and shorts.

"You really have a thing for black, don't you?" I smiled at her.

She said nothing and looked at me for a minute and pulled me infront of her closet and opened it up.

"I don't have a place for colours in my life."

I was so surprised to see that the only clothes she had in her closet were black and white. There were no other colours.

"You don't have any clothes apart from white and black! Seriously??" I asked in an astonished tone.

"I don't like colours. They reveal too much."

"What do you mean they reveal too much?"

"Don't you feel colours have their own language? Like, you would hardly ever see a sad person wearing a bright orange coloured t-shirt, or someone mourning wearing a bright red color."

"What's the point?" I was confused.

"Black and White are so subtle. They don't reveal anything to anyone. You can never guess if a person wearing black is happy or sad. It keeps you confused. It conceals all the emotions in its darkness. It keeps me hidden from rest of the world. And all that White reveals is peace and contentment. You would never guess the turmoil going on in a person wearing White. It just reflects positivity to the world, again concealing everything else."

All I could do was smile at her depth. How deep can she get? The more I know her, the more I feel I have to explore about her.

I changed into the clothes she got me and made myself comfortable on the bed. She bridged the gap between us by hugging me to sleep.

My heart kept pounding the entire time. It felt like I held an entire world in my arms. A world that is so full of experiences and emotions. She is my world. I felt like the luckiest guy on the planet to have her with me. We cuddled up and went back to sleep.

And in that moment, we were infinite.
