Escape His World (H.S 1D)

Chapter 12: Breath

A/N So we got to 500 reads huh? Thanks guys so much!

PLEASE COMMENT!

Harry's POV

I literally could not wait to see Angela. Whenever I think if her smile, I get tingles in my fingers and I can't help but grin. Even though it was just the movies, I wanted to look nice. I swept my curly hair to the side, remembering the quiff days with a smirk. My best friend Zayn would NOT stop texting me about his new girlfriend Perrie or something. Really, it was hard to concentrate when I had Angela on my mind. Even though I think I'm falling for her, I know her mind is somewhere else... Her dad. I didn't understand what was going on with the whole journal thing, but I just wish he would stop for my own selfish reasons. I wanted to be the ONLY guy on her mind, family or not. It pissed me off when I saw Angela laughing her pretty little head off with Louis. What if he wasn't over her, or worse... She wasn't over him. It sure seemed like they still had chemistry, broken up or not. I checked my phone, 6:38, I should pick Angela up now so we could be a bit early. She let me pick the movie, and just because I wanted her to cuddle with me, I picked a horror movie. I grimaced, personally, I prefer movies like the notebook or something. I hopped in my BMW and drove to her place, hoping Louis wasn't there. I swear if he was, I was gonna bash his face in.

...........................................................

I entered Angela's house, the door was always open so I let myself in. I was greeted by an ear piercing scream that rattled my brain. I didn't even think. I raced over to Angela's room, only to see her holding her knees to her chest, the journal thrown across the room.

"Angela, babe, what happened, breath love breath" I said soothingly. Part of me was just grateful that Louis was not here so I could be the one to comfort her.

Angela's POV
"L-look at the j-journal" I stuttered. I felt hot tears rushing out of my eyes, but the minute I saw Harry, I felt a bit better.
Harry calmly walked over to the journal and opened it to the most recent page. His bright green eyes darkened and his face suddenly got serious. He threw the journal on the ground, sat down next to me and just held me. He didn't say anything, he just rocked me back and forth against him.
"You look stunning" Harry said quietly, a glint in his worry filled eyes. I giggled.
"You do too" I said with a small smile. After a few minutes I got up from Harry's warm embrace and snatched the journal from the ground, my dad's latest entry was still being written in the page, words just kept appearing. They weren't in any particular sentences and they were disorganized, jotted down in random places on the page. There were threatening words, but also apologetic words. What got me.... They were written in bright red, runny "ink" that happened to smell like iron. Yup.
I hurriedly closed the book and ran over to the guest room where a small safe was located in the closet. Harry just watched me as I locked the journal in the safe, ignoring all the words that I knew were still being written in that horrid red ink. I turned around and gave a half hearted smile to Harry.
"You ok?" Harry asked, his voice drenched in worry. I hugged him tightly.
"No, I'm not. But I will be if you stay and we can watch a movie here?" He smiled at me and carried me bridal style to the couch, plopping me down as I giggled.
We ended up watching A Walk to Remember. I was sniffling and had gone through 2 full tissue boxes by the end. Harry was staring at me intently the entire time, I pretended not to notice but I know he saw the blush creeping up my cheeks. As the credits rolled through I returned Harry's intense gaze. He simply laughed, moving a strand of hair out of my face.
"I love watching you. Your so emotional and I think it's adorable. You went from smiling, to sad, to sullen, and there is just so much to you that I need to learn" Harry stated, reading my thoughts. I cuddled into his chest before my brain could register what my body was doing.
"Will you stay over tonight, Harry? It's just, the journal, and...." I drifted off, remembering what happened last time he came and slept over.
A childish grin crept up his face that reached his eyes, God I loved those kinds of smiles. We fell asleep just like that. My head against his hard chest with his arms wrapped protectively around me, and I really couldn't feel more safe.

Harry's POV

It felt so right having her in my arms, even though it was for all the wrong reasons. She just wanted me here because she was scared, not because she liked me. Really, it didn't matter to me right now, I was just so happy that she actually WANTED and enjoyed my company. I inhaled her vanilla smelling hair and smiled. This felt like home. I was drifting off to sleep when I heard multiple thuds coming from behind me. Angela looked up at me, her big eyes full of fear. She grasped onto my shirt.
"Harry...." She said, her voice shaky. I slowly rose from the couch, intwining our fingers together, I followed the consistent thudding. I then realized that the sounds were coming from the guest room.
Oh. My. God.
Angela was huddled behind me, her hand tightly holding mine. She slowly put in the combination to the safe. She looked at me, unsure whether to open the small door. I confidently smiled at her, even though I was just unsure as she was. She hesitantly opened the safe. What I saw was astounding, and well.... Heart stopping. Angela looked at it and a fresh wave of tears hit her. I just stared straight at it.... Almost shrinking back in fear.
