Love Awaits

I felt a pinch on my shoulder so I turned around and this stranger grabbed me and pulled me into the washroom.

"Who are you?! Let go of me!" I try to tug myself out of this persons grip but it doesn't seem to be helpful.

"Nevaeh, my names Harry. We need to talk." the stranger says.

"I saved you from Calum 2 years ago." he says. My breathing gets heavier.

"It would be a good idea to not talk about this right now." I say back.

Harry, walks to the bathroom door and locks it.

"We need to talk." he repeats but in a cold tone.

I hear slamming on the door.

"Harry! Whatever you're doing to Nevaeh you better stop! Nevaeh don't believe anything he says!" I hear Calum say.

"I need to tell you what I saw that night. Let me explain." he looks at me with his green eyes.

"There's nothing to tell, Harry. " I look away.

"I remember you Nevaeh, and I finally have the chance to explain on what he did to you." he grabs my jaw and faces it to him so I can look at him.

The slamming gets louder and I hear screams.

"That night, Calum didn't do what you thought he did." he explains.

"W-what are you talking about?" I feel a lump in my throat.

"It wasn't Calum." he looks at me in the eyes.

"What do you mean it wasn't Calum?" I start crying.

"It, it was someone else." he gets on his knees.

"Nevaeh, listen to me when I tell what happened."

I nod while he explains what he saw.

"I can't believe he did that." I wipe the tears off my face.

"You were pretty buzzed, you didn't remember anything the next day other than that. Calum took the blame to protect who did this to you. You didn't catch Calum with another girl, he wasn't cheating at all. " Harry explains.

"Are you just fucking with me?" I look at this stranger.

He laughs "No i'm not, this is all true. Ask Calum." he opens the door and the boys come rushing to me while Michael and Ashton go to Harry yelling at him.

"Nevaeh, what did he tell you?" Calum helps me up pulling me in for a hug.

I push away.

"He told me nothing." I walk away.

I hear my name being called while I walk into the driveway.

"Nevaeh I know he said something." Calum catches up to me.

"Is it true? It wasn't you?" I start tearing up again.

He looks down "Yeah, that's true."

"And you never really cheated?" I pick his chin up.

"I would never do that to you." He pulls me in for a hug.

"Calum" I whisper.

"Yes" he replies.

"I'm so sorry" I start crying.

"It's alright baby." he kisses my forehead.

"Why did you try and protect him? You lost me." I say.
