More than this

Chapter 5

I wake up and see Harry passed out next to me. I smile at the thought of him singing us both to sleep last night. Thats something Josh would never do. Josh. What would he do when he found out? Would he try and hurt Harry? I look down at his sleeping face, his eyelashes flutter every now and then and his breaths were steady and even, he was so attractive, even while sleeping. I sighed, I don't think I could handle another serious breakup, especially so close after Josh and I. It would crush Harry, but it would be better for both of us if I just didn't let things go any farther. I slip on my shoes and leave before he wakes up. It's better for the both of us I remind myself.

When I got home there was a note on my front door.

"Nicole,

Guess who baby?(; came to get you back."

There was no way that could be Harry, I left him sleeping at the apartment only 5 minutes ago. This was josh. It had to be. I scanned my surrounding and sighed. He was probably gone. He probably just wanted to scare me or Harry. I went inside and a pair of arms were suddenly around me and covering my mouth. The door shut and locked and I was thrown to the ground. I look up and I'm face to face with no other than him.

"Josh. What are you doing?" I whimper, I landed on my face when he threw me on the ground.

He brought a hand to my cheek and I smacked it away. "Nicole, baby, come on. I know you miss me like I miss you. I need you." He looks me in the eyes and places a kiss on my neck. I push him away.

"Josh, we are done. We've been done. Why can't you move on?" I yell, even though I have no room to judge, seeing as I'm STILL not over him, but he cheated on me the whole time, so I don't think he was as deep in the relationship as I was.

He laughed so hard his hands flew up to his stomach, "Give it a break. You're the one who called me every day for a week when we broke up. You begged me to take you back." His humor turned to anger real quick. He kicked me in the side, and I knew there would be a black and blue bruise there tomorrow. I yelled out in pain. He picked me up by my hair and threw me on the couch.

"Josh. What do you want?" I ask, I can't fight back anymore. His anger gets the best of him. It fuels him and I'm not strong enough.

Right as he opens his mouth to answer there's a loud knock at the door. I groan, now is not a good time Harry, I silently think to myself. Josh looks at me telling me to act normal. I mentally slap myself for going along.

"Yeah?" I yell making my way to the door as josh hides.

"Babe it's me, Harry. " I look over at a very angry josh.

I had to protect Harry, "I'm sorry now isn't a good time. I'm just, um, really tired." I faked a yawn and hope he buys it.

"Just please let me in." He asks.

I sigh, josh comes to the door and opens it. Harry looks hurt. He doesn't understand what's happening. I open my eyes wide as he turns and walks away. So much for not hurting Harry.

"Harry wait please!!" I yell running towards him. Josh grabs me in his arms and plants his mouth on mine. His tongue jams in my mouth right at the moment Harry turns around.

"I thought you were different Nicole. I didn't think you were like this." He turns and walks away. I drop my head in defeat. Now I'm mad. Now I am pissed.

I slap josh harder than I've ever slapped anyone.

"Don't you fucking dare touch me again, got it?" I yell.

He smirks at me, "mmmm, feisty Nicole. I like it." He says and squeezes my butt.

I kick him in his package and leave him on the ground wincing in pain. I need to find Harry. I have to fix this.

I see him sitting on his apartment porch smoking.

"Harry.." I say walking up to him.

"What Nicole? I trusted you. Okay? Forget it." He says turning around to go back inside.

"No listen to me. I just need 5 minutes." I beg.

He turns around," Fine, but why did you leave this morning?"

I closed my eyes and forced myself not to cry. "I left because I knew if we were together josh wouldn't be happy. So I left thinking that if I wasn't with you, josh wouldn't try to hurt you. He came after me. I don't know how he did it, but he did and I just, I tried to save you from me. Harry, nothing good ever comes out of being with me. I didn't want to drag you into my drama infested mess of a life."

He shook his head, " You don't have to try and save me from anything. It's my job to save you, and I should've known that he would try and do some thing like that."

I shrug, "Like I said. Crazy drama infested mess-"

He cut me off by placing a hand under my chin and lifting my face to his. His lips were suddenly against mine and our mouths were in sync. It's like me and Harry's bodies fit together perfectly. We move perfectly, this is something I never had with josh. We pull apart and let out a breath, and I let go of josh. I don't think I ever really loved josh. I think I just loved the thought of him. I smile and then remember I left him at my apartment.

"Shit. Harry?" I ask, biting my lip. This wouldn't turn out well.

"Yeah babe?" He asks, pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Josh is at my Apartment still..." I say quietly.

He throws both of his hands in the air and I flinch.

"That guy just doesn't know when to quit." We laugh despite the fact that my crazy abusive ex boyfriend is at my apartment.

We run to my apartment and sure enough, he's there. Harry steps up to him.

"Listen, Nicole is done with you. She doesn't love you and she's not yours. So back off, go home and stay there." Harry narrows his eyes and spits right next to Josh's shoe.

"What's your name again... Harry? Listen, Im not afraid of you kid. I'm not afraid of anyone. So don't try to pull the fear factor card on me."

Harry swings a punch and hits him in the nose. Josh stumbles back, while blood trickles down to his lips.

"You son of a bitch!" He yells and charges at Harry. Both are throwing punches and neighbors have gathered around them threatening to call the police if they don't break it up. I step in the middle and Harry stops throwing punches, but josh throws one last one and hits me in the cheek. I fall to the ground, I'm not sure if it was out of shock or the fact josh is probably a good 60 pounds heavier than me and jut threw a punch aimed towards a man the same size.

Josh runs and soon is nowhere to be seen. The crowd went I nside and Harry carries me in. I blink and then I black out.
