Little Town. New boy.

Chapter 12

A firm body lay on top of me when I opened my eyes. I was reminded that I had slept over at Harry's last night when I looked around.
I tried to push him off, but his size to me was no comparison.
"Harry" I groaned trying to roll him off of me. I smirked to myself getting an idea.
I slipped a quick kiss on his cheek.
"Well good morning to you too" I heard his voice rumble in his chest on top of me.
"I was just returning the favour" I smiled, "now get the hell off of me, please"
"Uhh...fine" he puffed.
He stood up off the couch, being left in only his boxers. I tried to stop my eyes from wandering along his fit body but I'm a teen girl; what do you expect.
"Like what you see?" He questioned breaking the silence.
"Your full of yourself, styles" I laughed standing up as well and making my way to the bathroom to change.
*******
Harry drove me home, I was gonna let him stay for a while but he insisted that he had "things to do." I thought it was odd but I just shrugged it off. I ended up keeping Harry's shirt and boxers after I spilled juice all down my dress; they always said I was clumsy.
I rummaged through the cupboard trying to find a glass to get a drink for myself until the kitchen door flung open. The glass cup slipped from my hands as I spun around startled by the sudden appearance of another person. It was my mother, the bags under her eyes showed how many days she had gone without sleep and frankly I wasn't surprised.
Her eyes moved from me to the ground, her expression turned to anger as she saw the broken glass.
"Look what you did!" She yelled at me taking a step forward.
"You scared me" I stated trying to hide the shakiness in my voice.
"Those were expensive, you little
b!tch..." My cheek throbbed at the sudden hit from my mother. I stepped back only bumping into the counter and fell to the floor.
"Now clean this mess up before I hit you again" were the last words that came out of my mothers mouth before she left me with a bruised cheek and laying in broken glass.
I stood up from the ground, tears brimming my eyes. I grabbed my jacket and ran out the door, luckily I had changed as soon as I came home and I still had my shoes on. I ran and ran, the only place I could think of going was the coffee shop so that's just the place I went.
I opened the door, i got a few stares which wasn't surprising considering my distraught state. I looked up to the counter only to see the back of a tall curly haired boy talking to Linda.
"Harry?" I questioned only to be faced with the green orbed boy I talked to not so long ago.
"Brooke? oh my, what happened" he asked before engulfing me in his arms, at this point I couldn't help but let the tears flow down my face.
"S-she hit me, s-swore at me" I answered trying to catch my breath.
"Who did? Your mom?" He questioned. I nodded my head into his chest before he pulled away and held my cheeks in his hands. I winced at his sudden touch to the freshly bruised area on the left side of my face which he obviously noticed from his loosening of grip.
"oh brooke, I'm sorry. I should have stayed with you" his eyes became glossy as he stared at my face.
"It's not your fault."
I stared down at my shoes before I felt two arms wrap around my back and legs, cradling me off the ground. I felt so safe and protected in Harry's arms; like nothing could hurt me.
"Would you like a tea, Hun?" I heard Linda ask me from over the counter as Harry sat down with me in his lap.
"Please" I responded.

"Brooke, are you okay?" Harry whispered in my ear as he subconsciously rocked me slightly in his arms. All I could do was shrug. If I said "yes" then I would have been lying but if I would have said "no" then he would have been 10 times more worried about me. I could tell we were getting stares from people but in this moment in time I truthfully didn't care.
Linda handed me a tea which I quickly took a sip out of.
"Harry, why don't you take her somewhere safe until she's in a better state?" Linda offered and Harry obliged.
"Thank You" Harry said to Linda as he stood up. I forced him to let me walk to the car before we drove back to his house.

I felt a pair of hands lift me out of the car and cradle me back into their chest; I must have fallen asleep on the way to Harry's. I heard the keys rattle in the door before we stepped into the quiet house and walked upstairs into a white walled room.
Harry gently layed me down into his bed, pulling the covers over me and turned to leave.
"Harry...please stay" I spoke in a small voice. He obliged to my request, slipping off mine and his shoes and crawled under the covers beside me. He instinctively wrapped his arms around my cold body as I buried my face in his chest.
"Thanks Harry" I whispered drifting off.
"Get some rest darlin" was the last thing I heard before the lights went out.
