Protecting her heart

Ch.17

Nat's POV

I have almost perfected my plan to take Rose down.  Woah.  Did I really just think that?  I sound like such a villain.  HAHA THE DARK EVIL VILLAIN NAT. MWAHAHAHA.  Okay.  Back to reality.  

So my plan consists of three plans.  Plan A; Get Harry alone, tell him plain out simple that this was my apartment and I didn't want Rose to be in it.   Plan B; Make Harry fall in love with me, but make sure I'm protecting myself...

Flashback

"Hey babe, happy birthday!" My boyfriend, Mason, yells.  God I loved that guy so much, it was crazy.  I was wearing a short mini jean skirt and a low cut pink top.  Needless to say, I was a girly girl.  I had been dating Mason for four years, and we were only sixteen.  

For my seventeenth birthday party, I had a couple of my girls come over and we saw some movies and then went swimming at the outdoor public pool.  Mason told me he'd pick me up, and left.  Half way though the party, I wanted to check if I had any texts, and I realized I forgot my phone in his car.  Oh well.  

But then it came the time to pick me up, and he was late.  This worried me, because Mason was NEVER late.  He was very punctual.  I let it go.  All my friends left, and I was still waiting in the parking lot like a total idiot for forgetting my phone.  I waited for an hour and a half, before walking up the road and seeing if he was coming.  I tried going back and asking if I could use the customer's service but his phone wasn't picking up, and there was no way I could call my friends.  My parents and I were not on very good terms, so I couldn't call them either.  

When suddenly, I spotted Mason's car in the farthest parking spot, hidden by a huge van.  I walked over and saw Mason with a naked girl.  I started to cry.  I banged on the window, and Mason looked up.  I saw him look at his watch, and then I turned around.  I couldn't stand it.  He cheated on me, on my birthday, and it had been freakin' FOUR YEARS!  We'd started dating in elementary school, and I thought we were to get married, and he'd be my high school sweetheart.  

I heard a door open on the other side of where I was, and a girl got out, in her bikini.  She walked away, towards the pool, not before yelling to Mason he was a dick.  Mason closed that door and opened the one on my side.  I stared at him for a moment and he stared back.  I slapped him across the face.  He held him jaw.  He said he wasn't even going to try to start to explain how sorry he was, because he knew he was too sorry for words, and some shit like that. He told me that the girl, Kendra, meant nothing to him.  I started to cry again, and had an urge to walk away, but I knew if I did, I would have to walk home.  I ordered him to take me home.  When he pulled into my driveway, I told him I never wanted to see him again, and to leave me alone.  He didn't take this well, and he told me he never actually liked me.  But then he took it back, and apologized a million times. I got out and slammed the door.   When I was inside I broke down in tears, not because of what I said, but because I forgot my phone, again.  And my heart, was broken.  

End of flashback

God damn I hate that flashback.  I get it too frequently.  This is why I can't trust guys anymore and MUST protect my heart at all costs.  

So anyways, I forgot to mention my Plan C; which is to brutally murder her.  Not only I just plain out don't like Rose, she's too cheer-y and peppy it makes me sick.  She also reminds me of Kendra.  Because she looks A LOT like her.  And so, she must be defeated.  That is my final point.  

A/N  Oooooh, we have discovered the whole meaning to the title of the book.  Nat has revealed her past.....  Hope you guys liked it.  Vote to get the next chapter!
