CRIMINAL

Katherines POV

A felt softness under my body, it was squishy and warm, I open my eyes and I start to look at my surroundings, I notice I'm not in my room it wasn't a nightmare, what had happened was real, I felt dirty. I could still feel the hands of my attackers, I began to shudder.

The room I was in was small, it had the basics, I small closet, a bed I was currently laid on, a dresser, a chair that had a backpack that looked that it had been stuffed to its filled capacity. There also was a small table on the right side of the bed.

My throat was dry probably by the screaming for help and crying I had done hours ago. I began to stretch my hand to get the water bottle that was on the table close to the bed but I started to hear footsteps.

The door opened slowly and I acted like I was still passed out sleeping. Somebody sat on the bed and began to stroke my cheek and hum a song I had never heard before. I decided it was time to see the face of my rescuer so I could thank him.

Slowly I started to open my eyes and I saw the same piercing green eyes I had seen when he carried me to safety, staring directly in my eyes, he looked worried and thoughtful. His face looked like it was made by the Gods themselves, his cheekbones, his lips I could stare at them all day and night without getting bored. His hair looked so soft, that you couldn't tangle your fingers in it even if you tried. I suddenly recognized his features, he was the boy from my last 2-hour class, the boy that had captivated me.

- "How are you feeling?" he asked me. His voice made me tremble; how could someone have such a beautiful voice? He continued stroking my cheek, his hands weren't soft but they felt so good against my skin. His touch made me melt, it felt like fire was burning my skin lightly.

I tried to speak but I started to cough. He opened and handed me the water bottle that I was trying to reach before he entered the room. I drank the whole thing in seconds. When I looked at him, I could tell he was trying not to smile. I blushed since I realized I had just embarrassed myself in front of him.

- "I feel okay, I mean I could be better but I'm still so grateful that you helped, you actually saved my life" I answered him truthfully. I began to tear up thinking of what would had happen if he didn't come and rescue me, where would my body be found in which state, how long before the cops would find it, what my parents would feel to have to recognize the body of their only child and other scary questions were swimming in my mind. He hugged me and rubbed my back without saying anything just letting my emotions flow down his shirt.

Once I got a hold of my emotions I gave him a small smile and thanked him again –"Thank you so much for saving me I just can't wrap my head around how I almost bit the dust there" I was so grateful for this stranger, I hadn't asked his name I was about to when he answered me.

- "You don't have to thank me Katherine really, I'm sorry I didn't get there faster" I stared at him in awe at how someone could make my name sound so soft and beautiful. – "My name is Harry, I know your name since we have a class together in the university" he told me, and once his name left his pink lips I thought of how he had the perfect name, it fitted him perfectly. 

- "We are at my house that I live with my uncle Alex. Do you want something to eat?" He told me. I actually wanted to go to my house take a nice long bath and read a novel o something to get my mind off of what had just happened. I wanted to cuddle in my furry pijamas and forget all about this day except the part where Harrys face is in. He was just to pretty not to look at. – "Actually, I should go home, it looks like it's getting late and we do have class tomorrow" I told him.

He looked at me and he seemed as if he wanted to tell me something but he nodded -I'll take you in my car, it's getting dark outside and I prefer to give you a ride" I thanked him and as I was about to stand up from the bed I got dizzy and harry caught me just in time before my face gave a kiss and a hug to the floor.
