If You Would [h.s.] HOLD

Sexual harassment warning ahead!!

The loud music vibrates through my body as we make our way to the dance floor and bar. I lost sigh of Harry but I know he's still here. Even though I just met him the other day, I know him enough to know that his pride is too big to stop the chase.

"Hey I'm gonna go get us some drinks. What do you ladies want?" Hunter shouts over the music.

"Tequila!" I yell back.

"I don't know, something fruity!" Mak responds. Hunter gives us a nod and disappears through the crowd of people, leaving me and Mak on the dance floor. Once we're alone we both start moving to the beat of the music. Swinging our hips from side to side and putting our arms in the air. It doesn't take long until two men, probably a little older than us, start closing in. One grabs my hips from behind, but the small shots I took earlier prohibited me from caring as much. The other man who I saw was very tall and had a cigarette between his lips goes to grab Mak's hips but she smacks his hand away.

"Sorry buddy I'm taken!" She says with a smirk.

"But she's not!" She points to me and sticks out her tongue. I shift my gaze over toward the man behind her, he starts moving my way, my hips still sway against the man behind me, who's hands start wrapping around my front. Suddenly I start to feel trapped.

"Uh. I don't like smokers, so you can move on." I laugh nervously, giving Mak a death glare but she pays me no mind.

"It's not lit yet baby." He moves closer, now our chests are touching. The two men surround me with their large bodies and I'm not having fun anymore. A nervous rumbling erupts through my stomach.

"Yeah...wel-" I get cut short when I feel a big hand grasp my breast and squeeze.

"FUCK can you get off of me?!" I yell and swipe his hand off of my body. I try and look over the cigarette mans body to find Mak but she's nowhere to be seen. My breathing starts getting heavier as I turn around and give the handsy man behind me a little push so he gets the point. But as soon as I turn around and put my hands on his chest, the cigarette man grabs my waist and pulls me back so I can feel the bulge in his pants against my bottom. Soon I feel his hot breath in my ear and the other man now has an angry look on his face as he approaches me again. I squint my eyes shut.

"Come on babe, we're just having a little fun yea? Lighten up." I can smell the alcohol and cigarettes in his breath and it sends a shutter down my spine.

"Aye Jason, you think she'll have more fun at our place?" The man that's now in front of me says and my eyes widen in fear of what he meant. Why did Mak and Hunter have to disappear as soon as this happens?

"Uhm no I wouldn't. Actually I can hear my friend calling my name as we speak. Excuse me!" I try to duck under their arms but it doesn't work, both men grab me and squeeze me between them.

"Oh my god. Just let me go Alright!?" I start to panic even more.

"No, I don't think so." The man, Jason says and he reaches his hand down my leg and it starts traveling up my dress.

How is no one seeing this happening?

My eyes start to water and I squeeze my eyes shut. And as if the gods heard me, Jason is ripped away from my front and the other guy from my back. My eyes snap open and I see Hunter in front of me, putting Jason into some sort of choke hold as he slams him into the ground. I'm almost frozen, but I turn around and see the first man on the ground getting brutally punched by someone else. I shriek and the sight and immediately go to the fight scene and realize. It's Harry. I look from Harry's angered face and furrowed brows and look at the mans bloodied face.

"Oh my god Harry get off of him!!" I grab his should but he shrugs me off and keeps punching. I look behind me to see Hunter watching with shock, not knowing it would go that far.

"You think you can just grab women when they don't want you to asshole!? You think that's gonna get you anywhere!? ANSWER ME!!" Harry's voice echos in my ear and I freeze with slight fear. He was beyond pissed.

"Hunter get him!" I yell for him to do something. There's now a large crowd making a circle around the fight, which included Mak who had her hand over her mouth. I look back at Hunter and see that he's hesitantly coming towards Harry. If I were Hunter I'd be a little scared to. I can tell that Harry's punches are getting weaker with every hit.

Hunter pushes Harry off but Harry is quick back onto his feet. Before he can lunge onto the asshole I step in front of him. He doesn't make eye contact with me but he stops so he doesn't run me over. I look at his face that had a small scratch and a bit of blood spatters, probably not his own blood. I did the first thing that felt natural to me and placed my hands on either side of his face. As soon as my skin makes contact with his face his eyes snap to mine, they have an edge in them. He's still angry.

"Hey! Hey. He's down. He's done. I'm alright okay? Chill out a bit..." I look directly into his eyes, they're almost black in anger. I hear his heavy breaths.

"Hey... it's okay." I don't move my eyes from his and suddenly his face starts to soften, coming down from his anger driven high.

"You're okay right? Did he hurt you?" He asks in a concerned voice. In this moment I feel alone with him, we weren't in the middle of a club, he didn't just pummel a guys face in, he wasn't Harry Styles superstar. He was good man Harry, who was genuinely concerned for me and wasted no time in getting me out of a bad situation.

"No I'm okay.." I smile slightly, trying to reassure him.

"Harry!? Yo, man what happened here?" Zayn and Louis bust their way through the crowd and Harry removes his eyes from my own. I drop my hands from his cheeks and suddenly I'm back in reality. Shit he's gonna get arrested.

"Uhm.." is all he manages to say as he looks at the wreckage he's caused. The man he beat up is laying unconscious on the floor, I can see his chest rising and falling so I know he's still alive.

"Harry you gotta go before the cops get here." I whisper to him. He looks back down again, slightly shocked that I would tell him to run away.

"Yeah mate, we gotta go!" Louis shouts.

"Come with me?" Harry's looks down at me and asks. I'm taken aback by his question and before I get the chance to think about what he's asking me I nod.

"Okay.."

The boys motel was slightly run down and off the grid. No one would think they'd be here. Harry opens the door for me and I walk in with Harry, Zayn, and Louis trailing behind me. Niall and Liam are already inside and their eyes widen when they see us all walk in, mostly they stare at me.

As soon as I had gotten into Harry's car, I started questioning why I said I would go with him. I have no idea where we're going or how I'll get back.

"Uhm. Is this the chick from the restaurant?" Niall asks from one of the beds.

"I-I'm Evelyn. Yeah." I stutter. Harry notices how uncomfortable I am.

"Hey, come with me really quick." He grabs my hand and I flinch back slightly, still shaken up. But then my mind comes back to reality. It's just Harry. Boy, that's not something I thought I'd ever say. It's just Harry Styles.

I grab his hand and he leads me into a bathroom. I try to avoid eye contact with all the boys, afraid of their judgmental glares. He closes the door behind me and I look up at him in the cramped space.

"Why did you bring me here?" I ask quickly.

"I-I don't really know. I just didn't wanna leave you back there, tipsy and vulnerable. I didn't even think about the boys. I can take you home... if you want." He rambles a bit. I sigh and look away for a second before turning back and meeting my eyes with his. He runs his hands through his thick hair so it's out of his face.

"You can take me home..." I say and I hear him suck in a small nervous breath.

"After I clean you up though. Sit down." I point at the closed toilet seat. He smiles slightly at me and does what I say. I grab a washcloth and run it under the warm water before applying it to his few cuts and bloodied face.
