"Harry's POV"


I woke up with the warm sun kissing my face. I sat up the bed and held my head because my vision is still spinning from last night--


Oh shoot! Last night!


I instantly looked to my right and saw a person with her face buried under the sheets. I slowly removed the blanket and was astonished to see an angelic lady beside me. She was sleeping peacefully with her lips slightly apart.


How can someone still be beautiful even while sleeping?


I examined her face and appreciate all her assets; from her long light-brown hair with huge loose curls at the end to her thick eyelashes to her pointed nose and god! her lips!


I smiled when I remembered what happened last night. I kissed the top of her head before going out of my bed. I picked up my phone and was alarmed to see--


60 missed calls!


My whole body froze and I looked at the time, shoot! It was already a quarter to 8! Our flight is at 9:30 am so I barely have an hour to go back our house and pack my stuffs! I looked at my phone again when it rang and saw someone calling me.


"Hel--"


"AT LAST YOU ALREADY PICKED UP YOUR PHONE, AENEAS! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE WERE WHEN YOU SUDDENLY LEFT! YOU EVEN DITCHED YOUR BODY GUARDS!" I froze upon hearing a voice full of anger. My mother is a calm woman who rarely loses composture so it's surprising to hear her vent out her emotions. I massaged my forehead realizing how serious the matter is.


"COME BACK HERE, RIGHT NOW! YOU EVEN FORGOT ABOUT OUR FLIGHT!---"


"Mother, please save the speech later. I'm coming home and I'm sorry about last night. I'll be there before 30. I promise" I calmly said trying to ease the headache I am feeling


"JUST BE SURE TO ARRIVE BEFORE HALF AN HOUR! I AM WARNING YOU!"


"Yes, mother" She ended the call and I let out a sight. I wore back all my clothes and left a note on the table beside the bed. I checked my pocket and smiled as I placed the silver bracelet beside the note. I looked back for the last time and left.



Belle's POV


I stretched my body as I turn to the opposite side of the huge, comfortable bed. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking several times to adjust from the brightness of the room. My eyes widened when I noticed I am not on MY bed!


I quickly sat up which made me dizzy so I massaged my temples and looked around. The memories of last night flashed back in my mind and I gasped when I noticed no one is around but me!

I quickly put back my clothes and checked my cellphone. I was surprised to see 20 missed calls and all from Kathleen. Gosh, I made her worry! I forgot to tell her!

A paper and a bracelet were caught in my peripheral view from the tableside. I picked it up and read the letter.


Belle,

I'm sorry I have to leave so soon. There was an emergency at home that I had to return quickly. Thank you for last night! It was definitely a night worthy to be remembered! See you when I see you!

PS: my real name is not Harry, it's Aeneas. I leave you this bracelet as a sign of gratitude for making me happy last night! Take care on your way home.

-Aeneas aka Harry (not Styles nor Potter) lol

I slapped myself after reading the note

See! He just ditched you and used you for fun that night! You didn't even get his number! If you get pregnant now, it will bring trouble not only to you but to your sister and mom as well!

I felt numb and dumb at the same time. Just wtf? I don't know what to do anymore. I got the bracelet and used it as an anklet because once my dad sees this, I bet the will just throw it and accuse me of being a whore

I got out of the building and on my way home, I passed by a church. I don't really know what to do anymore and I'm really desperate to turn my life around before it gets worse so I entered the old building and kneeled down in front of the altar.

Lord, I know I was never a perfect person and I am not worthy to be listened by you especially for what I've done last night but please! If I get pregnant, let me see Aeneas again, even for once so that he would be responsible for the baby and my plan would work. But if I am not, please kill my father to ease our pain. Amen

I got home and saw my mother and sister sitting on the corner of our house with my father standing and holding a belt on the other hand. 

"Now, now! Welcome back! WHERE THE F*** HAVE YOU BEEN! HAVE YOU BEEN WH*RING ON THE STREETS AGAIN?"

I couldn't hold back all my anger that I've been building up since yesterday so I rushed to slap him but he whipped me first with his belt on my hips. I cringed in pain but I gathered all of my force to punch his face. He was caught off guard as he took steps backward. Before I realized, I suddenly dragged my mother and sister away from the house and ran out without anything on our hands and without knowing where to go

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS BELLE! YOU KNOW YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE FROM ME! ONCE I SEE ANY OF THE THREE OF YOU, I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU UP TO DEATH!" I heard him shout outside the house as we continued to run. When my sister accidentally slipped her foot, I immediately carried her and ran towards the park nearby. We're quite far from our house this time so we decided to stop by for a minute.

My mom and my sister have bruises and cuts all over their body and I cannot bear to look at them. I know it was my fault why they had that. They cried hard so I hugged them while panting my breath. I know he will find us, we just need to hide somewhere for a day or two

"Belle, we have nowhere to go! Where should we stay? Why did we run away even if we know he will just find us?" I released from the hug and buried my face with my hand. I acted on impulse. I just want to protect them but I don't know what to do!

"Don't worry, Emerald. We'll find a way. Your sister will find a way" I whispered a lie just to calm her down

"But there's no way, Belle! We know it! We all do! If he catches us again, I don't know if our body can still endure it!" My mom calmed my sister down as tears roll down my cheeks. I suddenly heard a ring and realized, I was still carrying my purse from last night. I checked my phone and answered the call

"BELLEE! THANK GOODNESS YOU ALREADY ANSWERED YOUR PHONE! I WAS DEAD WORRIED ABOUT YOU!---" I cut her off, trying to regain my voice from the sobs I just had

"Kath, help me. Help us!" I pleaded while crying as I sat on the ground. There were frantic noises on the background that I heard and my best friend's voice is now alarmed

"Where are you?"

"at the park near our house. Please hurry or he'll catch us. Please, Kath!" I pleaded very hard as my voice starts to break

"I'll be very fast, don't worry. I got you!" She ended the call as my mom comforted both of us. My body tensed up in fear when I heard a familiar voice calling my name---

"BELLE!"
