He was the one that saved Me.

Chapter 6: I will protect You.

I wake to the annoying alarm on my phone waking me up. I sit up, press the button on my (very) bright phone screen and layed back down. It's about 6:00 so I guess a little nap wouldn't hurt, besides I need it considering I couldn't go to sleep last night. I kept thinking about Harry. Anyways, I am going to take a nap, and as soon as I closed my eyelids I drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up it was already 6:47! What!?!? I just closed my eyes!!! I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, undressed, turned on the water and stepped into the shower. I took about 10 minuets in the shower and jumped out wrapped a towel around my hair and body than walked into my room. The time was 7:03. I walked to my dresser grabbed my underware and bra, put them on. Then I walked into my (medium sized) walk in closet. I decided on wearing light blue skinny jeans with a white crop-top. I didn't have any more tank-tops so I guess I will have to show a bit of skin. Besides I will be wearing a sweater over it so nobody will see my stoumach. I walked back to my bathroom and brushed my curly hair and blow dried it. I put some moose in it, so it won't frizz out, And decided to keep it down. I walked back to my room and it was 7:54, already 4 minutes over my schedule and I needed to walk. I ran to my dresser grabbed a pair of white socks, put them on with my white vans, and put on a grey sweater. I grabbed my backpack and ran down stairs expecting to see my mom but instead I see a note on the counter.

Dear Ireland,

I know you don't like being alone and you don't like me working but I have to go on a business trip because the other one was canceled yesterday. I'm sorry love,but I won't be back until Monday. And I know since today's Friday and you might want to have a bit of fun. I give you permission to go out with a few friends but don't have too much fun, without me :). Try to be a normal gal Ireland,have a nice weekend and I'll see you soon. I love you. <3 - love mum

I read the letter, then shoved it in my backpack and grabbed a banana in the kitchen from the fruit bowl, I ate it in about a minute threw the banana peel away and stood up and grabbed my backpack. I opened the door and saw Harry about to knock on my door. He looked down and smiled at me "Hey". "Hey" I said smiling up at him. "Would you like a ride to school, I was about to ask you but you opened the door, when I was about to knock" I then walked outside and locked the door and turned to him "Uhhhh No it's fine. I think I could make it to school, besides I always walk" I said about to walk away. "No, I insist, you won't make it to school on time anyways if you walk". I thought about it for a second then nodded "ummmm okay, thanks" I said then we started walking to his car. He opened the door for me and I thanked him again and then he shut the door and walked to his side. We both put our seatbelts on and he turned the car on. And started driving to school. It wasn't awkward silence because there was music playing. Right now "Dont" by ed sheeran was on and I heard Harry humming to the song. "You know this song?" I asked. "Yes" he said taking his eyes off the road and smiling at me. Then he turned back smiling at the road. The song was now over and "All about that base" by Meghan Trainor came on and I began to sing it. Towards the middle of the song Harry started laughing at me because I started dancing a bit. "It's cute that you know all the lyrics to this song" he said smiling. "Really!!! You think I'm cute because I think your cu- " I then stopped myself from saying the rest of my sentance and hit my head against the window. "I meant, oh I listen to this song a lot that's why I know all the lyrics" I said trying to change the sentance I said before. "Love, don't try to change your sentance, I know what you were about to say, and yes I think your cute" he said smiling at the road. "We are here!!!" He said as he got out of the car and I didn't notice until I saw we were in the school parking lot and saw him opening the car door for me to get out. "Thank You, Very much" I said as I got out of the car. "No problem" he said smiling, showing his dimples.

I then started walking to the front of the school when I spotted Eleanor listening to music with earphones on. "Hey, wait up!" I hear Harry yell as I started walking. I turned around and he bumped into me and I fell on the ground. "I am so sorry" he says picking me up with a worried face. I dusted myself off and smiled at him and he smiled back."It's fine, I always get knocked down" his smile then faded "W-what!!??" "Nothing, it is nothing you need to worry about" I turned around and tried to speed walk to Eleanor's destination. Until I felt someone grab my wrist and I winced in pain remembering I still had bruises on my arms from when Kenzie and her friends beat me to a pulp last Friday.Don't ask why, because I don't even know. I turned around and saw Harry only two steps away from me and I could see the concern in his eyes. I looked down not wanting to look him in the eyes, I felt his finger at the bottom of my chin lifting my head making me look at him. His eyes were watering as he rolled up my sweater sleeves up and saw all my bruises, cuts, and worst...the scars. My eyes were getting watery and I pulled down my sweater sleeves down. He looked up at me, again, his eyes full of concern. "Who did this to you." He whispered as tear escaped his eyes. "Look I-I don't won't to talk about it" I said taking one step back. He took one step closer. "Please, you need to tell me! You-You need to tell me who did this to you!!! Please I need to protect you!" He said yelling and crying. I began crying even more. "You barely met me yesterday." I whispered "I know but it seems like I've known you my whole life!I know it seems cheesy but it's true...Look Ireland I need to protect you" he said softly "I-I can protect myself." I said. "Ireland, don't be stubborn, just tell me who it is, please?" he said."You can't protect me from everything "I need to go to class" I mumbled. "Ireland,please." He said trying to look me in the eye."We can talk about this after school" my voice shaking. "Okay I'll be picking you up and we will go to my house" he said wiping his tears away. "Okay" I mumbled, I was about to walk away until I felt Harry wipe the tears off my face and hugs Me "Ireland I will protect you I promise, I-I will save you from this horrible mess" he said softly hugging me tightly. A few seconds later he lets go and smiles at me "Shall I walk you to our first class" his smile growing. " You shall!!!" I yelled. He flinched when I yelled. And I started giggling when we got even more stares than we already have. All of a sudden I feel Harry holding my hand and intertwining our fingers as we walk to our first class together...I look up at him and I see him smiling..."What?" I asked. "Nothing, it's just...I'm Happy when your happy" he said. I smiled at up at him. That's the nicest thing someone has ever said to me besides my mum and Eleanors compliments. "I-I I'm also uhh happy when your...happy?" It came out more as a question than a sentence. He started laughing and holding his stomach. Then we were in front of our class door. " We are here, now" I said as his lauphter died down. He tugged on my hand to pull me inside the classroom. And everybodys eyes were on Harry but when they saw me holding his hand, they looked at me like I was that girl that started dancing on the table and singing "anaconda" last week. I giggled to myself remembering when she did that, somebody dared her and she ended up getting suspended for about two weeks. "Whats so funny" Harry asked as we took our seats in the back of the class."Oh nothing, just thinking about something really funny" I said.... And the rest of the period I could feel peoples' eyes glaring at me while I was trying to concentrate on what the teacher was saying. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and Harry noticed.

He leaned in and whispered in my ear "Dont Worry... I will protect You." And kissed me on the cheek. Why does he keep saying that? It seems like he knows about everything I've been through and understands me. If Niall ever told me "he'd protect me" I wouldn't believe him because thats exactly what he didn't do. He never protected Me, he was my best friend and my Boyfriend. I still have a tiny place in my heart for Niall, but ever since the bullying I will never think of him the same... The words Harry keeps telling me are replaying in my mind...
