Through the Dark (Harry Styles) [Bk. 1] *Editng*

56. Heart Wrenching

Elizabeth’s POV

“What is going on here!” My dad’s voice roared through out the bedroom and I jumped, quickly pulling away from Harry.  I stepped back from Harry and he stood up, both of us turned to look at my dad standing at the doorway.

“I’m sorry sir, i-“Harry began to apologize but my dad interrupted him.

“Get out!” My dad said sternly at him pointing out of the room, he was fuming. I shook my head.

“No! Dad, we were just kissing!” I said looking at him in shock. My mom stepped in going around my dad.

“What is going on here?” she asked scanning her eyes over the three of us, placing the kitchen cloth that she held in her hands over her shoulder.

“Dad is kicking Harry out just because he caught us kissing!” I said aggravated motioning my hand up to him.

“Richard” Mom scolded at him.

“I said get out Harry” My dad glared at him ignoring my mother. Harry nodded taking a step forward but I grabbed his arm.

“Harry, no” I said looking up at him.

“It’s okay, this isn’t something that you should fight over about” he said softly and kissed my forehead then walked to where my parents were standing .

“Goodnight” Harry said politely to them and walked out. Once I heard the front door close I snapped.

“Dad how could you do that?” I asked him, angrily. This is so not fair!

“You are not allowed to see him again” he said crossing his arms over his chest, my heart sunk.

“Why?!” I asked him my voice cracking at the end.

“Do not raise your voice at me” He warned. “And because I said so Elizabeth!” he yelled at me.

“Richard, why are you so upset he is a very nice young man” My mom said walking over to me and wrapped her arm around me, trying to give me some form of comfort.

“Dad, give me a reason why I should not see him.” I said my voice a bit calmer than before.

“Okay I’ll give you a few. “ He paused. “He fights, he has tattoos, and he drives a motorcycle! Who knows what kind of people he hangs out with! “ He said counting with his fingers.

“Plus, he hasn’t been here for long” My dad added dropping his arms on either side of him.

“Neither have you!” I snapped at him and he looked at me shocked, a bit hurt even, but then narrowed his eyes.

“You are not seeing him and that is final” He said and stalked out of the room.

“I’ll talk to him sweetie, there is no way that I am letting you lose such a wonderful young man as him” she said kissing my cheek and walked out closing the door behind her. I grabbed my pillow and threw it against the wall.

I began to cry but mostly out of frustration rather than sadness. This is not fair at all! Why do so many things have to happen? Have we not been broken apart for far too many times?

I walked over to my closet and quickly changed into my Pjs and crawled into bed. I was about to close my eyes when my phone started to vibrate against the night stand. I reached over and saw that it was Harry calling me. I took in a deep breath and answered.  

“Hello?”

“Elizabeth? Are you alright?” he asked his tone worried.  I shook my head and bit my lip trying to muffle up a sob.

“Elizabeth?” Harry asked again more urgently this time.

“Harry, my dad says I can’t see you anymore.” I said tears streaming down my face. Even saying the words out loud myself makes me feel like I am falling into pieces.” Why does stuff keep happening to us? I don’t want to be apart from you!”

“Elizabeth, it’ll be okay baby. Don’t cry, I am not going anywhere. I do respect your father, but I am not leaving your side. “We both stayed quiet for a few minutes, I decided to break the unbearable silence between us.

“My mom said that she is going to talk to him but I honestly don’t know what will happen.” I cried.

“I promise, I will convince your father. I will do anything” He said and I could hear the sincerity in his voice.

“I love you Harry” I said calming down, snuggling closer into my pillow.

“I love you too. Forever.”
