Just Can't Let Her Go

Harry's POV

I stepped onto the bus and paid the driver. I started to find an empty seat but to my surprise I saw Maria. This isn't the way to her house. Where was she going? I sat behind her and decide to figure out where she was going.

Maria didn't notice me. She just looked outside the window. I watched a tear slip down her cheek and she hurriedly wiped it away. She looked terrible. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do when it had properly sinked in that somebody had raped Maria.

But I know that some of those bruises weren't from the rapist. They were from us. From me.

Her blonde, curly hair hadn’t changed. She had always been a natural curly haired girl. I, on the other hand, started to grow curls at the age of 10.

*Maria and the boys at the age of 10*

 

‘You're growing curls!’ Maria said, examining my hair, softly combing her fingers through my hair. I laughed at her. God, why was she so cute. ‘What?’ Maria asked, confused. ‘Is there something on my face?’ She said.

 

‘No.’ I laughed as she pushed back her curly hair.

 

‘Okay, there’s something on my face… or in my hair.’ She exclaimed as I realised I have been constantly staring at her face.

 

‘There isn’t anything on your face!’ I said.

 

‘Who has a mirror here?’ She said to the guys. We’re guys! Why would you expect us to have mirrors in ou-

 

‘Here ya go!’ Zayn said, cutting me out of my thoughts, and giving Maria a mirror from his pocket. 

 

‘Uhhh… Zayn? Why do you have a mirror in your pocket? Liam said. Zayn smiled. Not like a ‘smile for the camera’ smile, more of a sheepish smile.

 

‘Here. Louis said handing us our ice cream. I gazed at Maria. I know this is weird but I think I’m growing feelings for Maria. Maria caught me staring at her.

 

‘WHAT?’ Maria screamed at dumped the ice cream on my face. And then laughed. The cone dropped to the ground and Maria and the guys were on the floor laughing.

 

‘You are so gonna regret that!’ I said and started tickling her.

 

End of Flashback

 

I smiled at the memory.

‘Last stop.’ He bus driver grumbled. Maria got up and I followed her. I looked around and saw waves. We were at a beach? But there were cliffs. They looked like the ones from twilight, where Bella almost died. Maria was at the edge of the cliffs.
