Terrified | Sympathy

Scenes from last night played throughout my head when I woke up this morning. Her laugh, her smile, and her natural beauty all got to me. I swear I have never felt this way about a woman before and my feelings has gotten so much stronger. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a great personality. I didn't understand why that fucker wasn't treating her right. She deserved to be treated like royalty. I would love to give her anything she wanted or might need. Including my time, love, heart, and devotion to make her happy.

Even at my job I thought about last night, and surprisingly it made my day go a little bit faster than usual. I thought about how nice it would be for us to be together and be happy. Honestly, I haven't dated in years and I think this would be a good time to at least try to make something happen with her. Then, I start to think about Xavier and how he has her blinded. He isn't doing anything right so why is she still with that bloke? It didn't make any sense why she is still with him.

As the elevator doors opened I step out of them to get to my apartment. But when I heard some yelling down the hall I stopped to turn around to see what was happening.

"So you don't answer none of my fucking calls last night?!" Xavier yelled at me as he held up his phone. "And to top it off you weren't at your apartment, so where the fuck were you at?!"

"It's none of your damn business Xavier!" I shout back. Man, he had some fucking nerves yelling at me right now. Especially since I found out that he was texting other girls saying that he was single and all that other shit. He has me fucked up.

"It is my business!" In lightening speed he grabbed the collar of my shirt to the point that my heels were off the ground. He shoved me against my apartment door. "Tell me now or else I'll take you to my place and we'll settle it there," he growled, and that's when my heart totally dropped to my feet. So when I didn't answer he released my collar and grabbed my arm harshly. "Fine, you're coming with me."

"No she isn't," spoke a deep accented voice that belonged to no one other but Harry himself.

Xavier released my arm as he was dragged back away from me to the point that he fell backwards. In a swift motion Harry's built frame stood in front of me to put distance between Xavier and I. When I look down I could see Harry's fists balled up.

"Harry? What the fuck are you doing? This doesn't involve you," I hear Xavier hiss as he got up from the ground.

"It does if you put your fucking hands on her,"Harry barked. "So I advise you leave right now Xavier."

I then see Xavier peak around Harry's body to look at me with an unbelievable look in his eyes, "You were with him last night were you?" He asked me, and when I didn't answer again he finally put the puzzle piece together. After that, he didn't do anything else but walk away.

When Xavier was finally out of sight Harry turned to me and lifted the sleeve from my t-shirt up to show the slight bruise that was on my arm. He looked at me with sad eyes, "Are you okay?"

I shook my head silently as tears finally fell down my cheeks. I wasn't okay, I just wasn't.

Harry took my keys from the floor and unlocked my apartment door. Like a nice person he was he guided me into my place and closed the door behind us. I flipped on the lights and weakly took off my shoes. Everything was silent and the atmosphere was all sad because of what just happened just a few minutes ago. I dragged my feet to my couch and flop on it. Just a few seconds later I placed my face in my hands and began to cry. I cried over how much of an idiot I was for staying with Xavier even though I knew he wasn't good for me. I cried from how long I've been pulling up with his shit for months now. And I cried because I think that maybe I won't ever be able to find real love.

"Layla..don't cry," Harry's soft voice spoke as he sat next to me.

I lifted up my head and wiped the tears from my cheeks. Sighing I looked over at him to see him looking at me with sympathy. I don't know how to explain it but I see a hint of deep care that he has for me. And honestly, it was great to know that he feels that way for me.

"You're too pretty to be crying over a loser," he says wiping my face with his thumbs, and surprisingly it made me laugh a little bit.

"You're right," I breathe out, and he was right. "I think I'm done with him and his games..I deserve better."

"Indeed you do," Harry placed a kiss on my forehead, and honestly it warmed my heart so much.

"Thank you for being here," I say placing my hands on top of his. "I know you could have been spending your night alone peacefully..but you picked a crying girl instead, so thanks Harry."

He gave me a cute dimpled smile and wrapped his big hand around my small one, "Anything for a friend."
