Abused and Bullied (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

When I open my eyes, regaining consciousness, I see Harry kneeling in front of me. I look around and listen, seeing that we are the only ones in the car. 

"C'mon; I told the boys I would help you inside. They took the bags and put them in the spare room, where you'll be staying. It's between Zayn and Louis' room. I'm guessing you're still tired, so if you'd like, you can just go right to sleep. After you're settled in, we can go and get you some stuff for your room and clothes."

Harry slightly stands up, still hunched over slightly as to not hit his head, and extends his hand out towards me. Still blanketed with tiredness, I resist the strong reflex to flinch away and reach forward, take his hand. 

He helps me up from the seat, placing his hand on the small of my back as we walk, him guiding me the right way. Once inside and up the set of stairs towards all of the bedrooms, we walk into the room in the middle of the hallway.

Without even thinking about looking around the room, I crawl into the bed, curling myself around a pillow. I feel Harry pull the covers up to my shoulders, leaning down towards me. 

"Goodnight love, sleep well," he whispers softly, pressing his lips to my temple.

I hear him start to walk towards the door and before I even realize what I'm doing, I'm sitting up in bed, saying "wait!"

Harry turns around, a look of confusion on his face, his eyebrows crinkled downwards and a frown playing on his lips. 

"Can you stay with me?" I ask softly, looking up at him. 

Harry chuckles, nodding his head. He turns around and shuts the door before walking around to the other side of the bed. He peels back the covers and slides in next to me, covering both of us up. 

I lay so that I am facing him, bundling up a portion of the blanket and wrapping my arms around it. A pair of lips press gingerly against my forehead, a sleepy smile forming on my lips.

"Goodnight, love. Sleep tight," Harry whispers, laying back against his pillow, shutting his eyes and taking a calm, deep breath. 

I close my eyes, feeling completely safe for the first time in a long while.
