Or So It Seems (h.s.)

Chapter 4

After we made eye contact, i tried to look away quickly. It was no use now, though.




Harry obviously noticed my facial expression or the tension that irrupted. "Lainy, whats wro-"







"Lainy?! Baby, is that you!?"







I was fiddling with my fingers in my lap at first. I immediately forced my eyes to meet his when i remembered how angry and the things he would do when i didn't look him in the eyes.







"h-hi James.."







His tone changed quickly.. Just like before. I guess he hasn't changed at all.







"Where the hell have you been" he snapped.







Memories came flooding in the back of my mind when he said those dreaded words..













"Where the hell have you been!?!" James shouted at me.










"I was running errands like you asked me to, James! My god."







"Don't give me attitude or that dumb ass story-line. I'm sure you were out with another guy or obsessing over your stupid fucking boy band! Who is he, Lainy?! Tell me right now. You were supposed to be here over an hour ago!!" His face was red as he screamed. His steps toward me became bigger.




"James, please don't do this. I was running errands! Everything is in my car!! We can go check-do you wanna check?" I stayed as calm as possible. He wouldn't calm down! "I'm sorry i was late, it won't happen again i'm sorry babe-"







He pushed me against the wall and slapped me across the face. "Stop lying to me, Lainy! Who the fuck is he!?"




I began to cry. Pushing back was helpless, he was too strong.




"ANSWER ME!" He hit me again.




"I wasn't with anyone, James!!" I screamed. "I lost track of time at the store, please stop this!!"




I began crying even harder and he shakily whispered in my ear, "Next time it will be much worse.. I can make you do things you don't want to do.." He shoved me against the wall, and i ran as fast as i could to my car.
