Wrapped Around Her Finger ~Harry Hook

12-Love Will Find A Way

Ryland's POV:

I had been home for a month and I haven't left my room. I have lived off of a granola bar a day and a bottle of water a day. I've already lost 15 pounds in one month. I've had nightmares every night, I showered every day and each shower lasts an hour. I cry the entire time and think of Harry. My thoughts have been making me sick and I've thrown up at least once a day, sometimes more. I haven't seen anyone except my parents, my brothers, and Wyatt. Carlos was the only one of the four I let see me because I was just so broken. Wyatt was being his casual self, in front of my family he is a poster boy but as soon it's just us he is mentally, verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive towards me. He calls me names, plays with my heart, and he has started hitting me. He asked why I was crying and I mentioned Harry, he flipped out and slapped me. He has left bruises on my arms and legs. He told my parents that they must be after-effects of Gothel and Piper's scandal. I shook it off but today there was a 'Welcome Home' Ball for me. I wasn't excited about it at all. I drug myself out of bed and took a shower. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. I looked so sickly, I was thin, to begin with, and now I'm borderline anorexic. I just wanted Harry. I want to lay in bed with him again in his warmth. I sighed and got in the shower.

I got dressed in my outfit from the Isle except for the leather jacket and chains. I put Harry's red sweatshirt from the Isle over top of my purple top. My parents were able to get someone to retrieve it from the Isle along with my other stuff, I never noticed that the sweatshirt had a black hook on the back of it and I loved it even more once I found out. I put my black ripped jeans on along with the anchor ring and my necklace with Harry's ring on it. I put my hair in a messy bun and went downstairs. I lay on the couch in the living room and cozied into the sweatshirt. This was the first time I wore it since it only got here this morning. I had my hands in my pocket and felt a piece of paper. I pulled the paper out and read the note.

Dearest Ryland,

My sweet Princess, how I miss ye. I am trying to find a way to get to Auradon so I can see ye. I haven't been sleeping well at all without ye. I miss yer lips and yer smile and yer perfect green eyes, and yer soothing voice. Yer angelic singing would help me sleep when I had nightmares. I haven't had a dry eye since ye left but I regret nothing. Yer safety is my number one priority. I love ye princess and remember, ye said it yer self, Love Will Find A Way.

Until we meet again my love,

~Harry.

I started crying and put the note back in my pocket. My mom walked over to me and sadly smiled at me. "What's wrong Ry?"

I handed her the note and smiled sadly.

She read it and handed it back to me. "He really loves you, sweetheart."

"I love him too."

"You love who too?" My dad asked.

"Melody!" I panicked. "I can't wait to see her tonight."

My dad smiled and I hid the note back in my pocket. My parents walked into the kitchen. I stood up and went to follow them but I was pulled around a corner in the hallway. Wyatt.

I locked eyes with his harsh green ones. "You love him huh?" I shrunk down and looked down. "Bitch, I asked you a question!"

"Yes, I love him!" I shoved him away from me and he pulled me back and hit me in the stomach. I fell to the floor and held my stomach. "That'll teach you slut." He walked away.

I curled into a ball and held my head in my hands. "I hate you..." I whispered.

I got up and made my way to the kitchen which is where Wyatt was. I turned around and my dad called me. "Ryland, where'd you get that sweatshirt?"
