I Thought You Loved Me

Chapter Seven- Broken Promises

Harry's POV

"Yes."

She had just said yes. And she was mine.

"Ari, can you please tell me the story about this? Please. I need to know."

She sighed and bit her lip.

"Well, the thing is, Matt, is a criminal. He's blackmailing me into dating him, and if I try to break up with him or do anything wrong, he drugs my dad, and each time he uses a stronger drug." She said.

"Ari, why didn't you go to the cops?" I asked her.

"I... If I had he would have found out and drugged my dad, but now I guess I have to." she said.

"Call your dad and tell him to stay out of town until we can get the cops in to arrest that bloke." I said.

She nodded, and gave me a hug.

"I love you Harry." She said pulling away.

"I love you too, Ari." I said, and planted a kiss on her lips.

Ari's POV

I said yes. Now, Harry was mine and I could get rid of Matt. I was worried though. If he found out about this, he would drug my dad the first chance he got. Harry was right though. If I called the cops and told them about him, they would come arrest him and put him in jail for the rest of his life, and he couldn't hurt me or my dad ever again.

My bruises hurt. He had kicked me multiple times, and then blacked out from the pain after he left. The next thing I knew I was on a plane in Harry's lap. He talked to me for a while, and then when I had told him why I couldn't tell him. he got upset and locked himself in the bathroom. I wanted to tell Harry, and when I did, it felt like a gigantic weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. Now, Harry knew, I didn't have to be with Matt anymore, and I didn't have to worry about my dad any more. Most of all, I had Harry. I picked up the plane phone, and called my dad.

"Hello?"

"Daddy? It's Ari."

"Ari, honey. Are you alright?"

"Yes, daddy. But I need you to stay out of town until its safe. Stay with one of your friends. Rent a hotel room. Sleep in a box. I don't care as long as you don't go back home."

"Why, Ari. Why not go back home?"

"Matt."

"Ari, baby. Tell me the whole story."

"He was mad, because he saw the pictures of that day I spent with Harry. He came to our house and hit me. In the eye, and then kicked me in the stomach side and back over and over again. I called Harry and he came and got me. I'm on the plane with him and the boys now. I'm going on tour with them, I guess."

"Okay, Ari. But how long until I can come home?"

"I don't know. Were going to call the cops, and have them arrest Matt. Just please stay out of town until it's safe. I wont be there to help you if he comes. Oh, and it's alright with you if I go with the boys, right?"

"Okay. Sure honey. Just stay safe, and don't go off by yourself. Stick with the boys. I'll see you soon."

"Okay, dad. I'll call you later. Love you."

"Love you to, Ari. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and felt strong arms wrap around my waist.

"Well?" I heard Harry ask from behind me.

"He said that he would stay out of town." I told him.

"Is he okay with you touring?" He asked, his warm breath hitting my neck.

"Yes." I said, twisting around to face him.

"Good. That means I can keep you safe. I love you, Ari."

"I love you too, Harry." I said, burying my face in his chest, and wrapping my arms around him.

An hour later I woke up back in Harry's lap.

"Hey sleeping beauty." He said.

"Hey curly." I said in response, sitting up. "Hey, Harry? Um, I just realized that I have no clothes. You didn't give me any time to pack."

"Well, you were out cold. We are going to fix that tomorrow. I'm taking you shopping."

"Harry, you don't have to do that."

"Ari, if I don't you are going to have to wear sheets and sea shells for clothes, and I don't think you should probably do that."

"Please buckle your seat belts. We will be arriving soon." Said the pilot over the intercom.

I sat up out of Harry's lap, and pulled my seat belt on.

"Well, then. I guess you'll have to take me shopping." I said to Harry.

He smiled and I leaned over, and gave him a soft, gentle kiss.

Harry's POV

She leaned over and kissed me. It was soft and gentle, and I loved it. I promised my self that I would keep her safe. No one would ever hurt my Ari.

"Your amazing Ar." I said.

"You too, Haz." She said in response, smiling her beautiful smile.

I just about melted when I saw that smile. Yeah, I know. Not normal for a guy, but her smile was amazing. Her lips were plump, and full, and her teeth were straight and white. I smiled back at her, and I think she about melted too. I sat back in my seat, with my arm on the rest. I felt a soft hand slide into mine, and I looked down to see Ari's hand. I swear, this girl is the girl I will someday marry.

An hour later

Ari's POV

"Ari, babe." I heard.

Someone squeezed my hand and I opened my eyes to see Harry, sitting there smiling.

"Ar, wake up. We're here."

"Do I have to walk? I'm tired." I said, and Harry smiled.

"No, baby. You don't have to walk. Come here." He said, scooping me up in his arms.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and laid my face on his chest.

Harry's POV

I scooped her up and she fell asleep in my arms. I carried her out of the plane, and had Louis carry my carry on. We walked down the steps and into the air port, and were instantly mobbed by a group of girls. We began to run, pushing our way through the girls, but I felt someone stop me.

"Harry!" someone squealed.

I tried to push foreword, but I was stopped by a girl, that looked about my age.

"What are you wasting you time with her for?" she asked snottily.

I gritted my teeth and tried again to push the rest of the way through the crowd. The same girl stopped me, and I felt Ari jerked out of my arms, and thrown to the ground behind the girl who had stopped me. I had just broken my promise.
