Clenched Hearts


"What are you doing Haz?" Mia plopped on the bed next to me.

"Just checking the news." I told her staring at the laptop in front of me.

"Humm." She imitated my positing laying on her stomach with her elbows supporting her weight and feet pointed at the pillows.

I kept my gaze on the screen while Mia finally laid her head on her hands staring at me.

"What?" I couldn't help but smile.

"Nothing, I'm just appreciating your beauty." She blushed.

"Go ahead, ask."

"How do you know I'm going to ask you something?" She grinned.

"I know you." I kissed her pouty lips.

"Humm well there's something in fact that I've been wanting to tell you." She bit her lip. My eyes diverted to her pink lips and I momentarily forgot what she was saying. "Haz?"

"Yeah I'm listening." I closed the laptop to listen attentively.

"Well..."





-





"I'm going to take you." I abruptly informed Mia.

After she told me yesterday she's going to do a photoshoot with a guy for a newly brand there's no way I'm letting her go alone.

"Don't be so dramatic." She rolled her eyes at me.

"You should have told me earlier there was a guy involved." I stood up from the bed pushing my jeans up my legs.

"That's exactly the kind of reaction I was trying to avoid. He'll just stand next to me, nothing else Harry." She whined.

"I know the guy." I simply stated.

"You do?" "Yeah, when you mentioned his name I immediately remembered.

We were doing a photoshoot for an album once and he was going to be photographed after but he kept demanding things and was very rude to everyone and stuff." I told her.

"Maybe he was just in a bad day?" She suggested.

"I don't think so." I shook my head.

"Fine, you can take me but you don't stay there while I do it." She pointed a finger at me.

"Why not?"

"Because..." She stopped mid-sentence.

"Tell me." I forced.

"Because I don't want you to see it." She looked down embarrassed, her cheeks a cute shade of red.

"What's wrong with me seeing you?" I pressed my index to her chin telling her to look at me.

"I don't know." She shrugged. I love the fact she's still timid with me after so long.

"I've seen you naked on top of me, that's probably more embarrassing than see you smiling at a camera." I attempted to make a joke.

"Harry!" She glared at me covering her face with her fragile hands.

"It's okay babe, I'm sure you'll be amazing as always." I rubbed her back comfortingly when she rested her forehead on my chest.

"Are you ready?" She looked up and down.

"Yes, we'll have breakfast on the way." I grabbed her hand.

"Okay." She sighed.

By the time we arrived the studio session I could feel everyone's eyes on me and Mia, I'm sure they were not expecting me to come along but I couldn't help it. Plus, I only have some work to do in the afternoon so I really had nothing to this morning.

"Mia!" A very cheerful girl with glasses on the tip of her nose walked towards us. She must be the assistant Mia spoke to me about, Miranda.

"Hi Miranda." Mia waved at her. Knew it.

"You know we already have a male model for today right?" She looked at me from head to toe.

"I'm her boyfriend, Harry." I shook her hand, the other swiftly circling Mia's waist.

"We all know." The girl winked.

"Harry just came to drop me off, he's going now." Mia squeezed my hand around her waist.

"Oh you can stay if you want." Miranda offered.

"No h--"

"I do actually." I cut Mia off smiling brightly at her. She merely huffed.

"Good!" The assistant clapped. "Now you really should go to the make-up room."

"Yeah go on love, I'll be here." I pinched Mia's bum when Miranda wasn't looking. Mia squealed swatting at my chest and leaving behind Miranda's hells' click on the floor.

"Harry Styles?" I turned a round to see a man in black staring at me.

"Yes." I replied. "You can come stand over here, Mia's preparing." He informed.

"Oh thank you, but I'll just stand over there." I pointed to the back wall.

Not that I'd mind stay along with the crew so near her but Mia already say she doesn't feel comfortable and I don't want to ruin this for her. I leaned against the wall, playing on my phone when I heard whispers around. My head snapped up and I immediately spotted the reason behind all the gossip. Mia's blonde hair was styled in loose curls falling perfectly around her head, her eyes with dark and sparkling shadows and her full lips a deep red. My mouth dried taking in her looks. Her black dress looks like it was made only for her, resting mid-thigh all sparkled with triangle cuts on the sides below her boobs. She looks absolutely perfect and I just want to hid her from everyone's stares, they shouldn't even be looking at her, only me. Her eyes immediately scanned the room finally stopping when landing on me. A little smile played on her lips probably realizing how stupid I must look right now in complete awe at her. She waved shyly and I composed myself before winking and giving her a thumbs up. I grabbed my phone again and snapped a quick picture of her. She spoke a little with the photographer who explained to her how the shoot will evolve when a tall guy dressed in a tux came around with a smugly grin on his face. That's him!





The guy snapped his fingers in the air calling everyone's attention.

"I'm here." His white teeth almost made me blind. He spun around to look at Mia, his eyes traveling up and down her body, my Mia. My body immediately stiffen.

"Hello beautiful, I'm Dylan. You must have heard about me." He planted a kiss on the back of her hand.

My hands instantly clenched in fists when I took a step forward. Mia stared at me with pleading eyes when she realized I was walking in her direction. I stopped in my tracks giving her a warning look. She looked at Miranda who was watching our interaction atentively with a frown.

"Let's get started everyone." The brunette announced.

Everyone wandered to their positions, Mia and Dylan were placed in the middle of the white scenario contrasting with their black clothing. His hand came to rest on her back, too low for my liking. Mia's eyes snapped at me before throwing her best smile at the camera. I watched carefully as they switched position, the cameras capting every angle of their bodies. My temper flipping as the time passed.
The only thing keeping me from take a step and push that guy is Mia's eyes when she looks at me almost every second.

"Okay we need to change something." The photographer shook his head disapprovingly.

I watched as he whispered something in Miranda's ears. She frowned and walked to whisper something in Mia's ear. Mia had the same frown as Miranda as she and Miranda looked at me. Our eyes locked for a second, her eyes almost pained, She nodded at Miranda and took a deep breath before turning to Dylan again, his arm snaking around her waist.
I closed my eyes forcefully, my patience wearing thin. I swear that asshole is asking for a punch in that plastic face.

"Is he supposed to touch her like that?" I asked a guy standing near me.

He merely threw a sympathetic look. I don't know how much I can handle before invading the scenario and pushing Mia out of there with me. She didn't look very pleased to be honest, she was smiling and all but I know her better than anyone to know she's really uncomfortable. All that unnecessary if she were to put her pride aside and let me take care of her.

"Scoot a little closer please." The photographer instructed.

Dylan's smirk almost caused me to gag, he's so full of his self. His arm pushed Mia even closer to himself, snuggling his nose on her head.

"What the..." I said through my teeth.

What surprised me the most was when Mia held his jacked with her hand, a mental punch being delivered to my stomach at the same time. He smiled at her taking her hand in his and leaning in to kiss her. Mia's head tuned away in record time causing his mouth to touch her cheek.
I seemed to struggle with air for a moment before knocking the box next to me and turning around not standing to see that ridiculous scene anymore.
My desire was to grab that bloke from the collar of his neat tux and punch him until he passes out but instead I decide to walk away with the rest of dignity I had left.

The sun burned my eyes when I walked outside, still not used to the summer weather.
I paced back and forth trying to calm my breathing.
The image of him leaning in to kiss Mia playing repeatedly in my head, my anger boiling up every second. I tugged harshly at my hair, my heart contracting with pain when I tried to block it out of my head.
Who the fuck does that asshole thinks he is, trying to steal what's mine right in front of my eyes. He's not walking away immune!
Right when I was about to get back in there again ready to show him who's the man, Mia walked out with a worried expression on her face. She sighed in relief when seeing me.

"Harry I---"

"Don't." I raised my hand to stop her from talking, an instant frown taking over her features.

"I'm sorry I didn't know he was gonna do that." She took a step towards me.

"He tried to kiss you!" I hissed through my teeth.

"I know. He wasn't succeeded though, you saw it yourself please st--"

"Exactly, I saw it myself Mia!" I raised my voice at her.

"Do you know what if feels like to see someone trying to kiss YOUR girlfriend right in front of you? I can assure you it's not something you want too feel!"

"I know Harry I... I'm so sorry." She looked frantically trying to reach me.

"Where is he?" I took a step towards the door, adrenaline and pain flooding in my veins.

"No Harry, stop! Look at me." Mia stepped in front of me, taking my face in her hands forcing me to look at her. "Please." Her eyes pleaded, watering slightly.

"He touched you..." I whispered, hearing the sound of a knife ripping my heart open.

"I know and I hated the fact that it wasn't you, your hands, your smell, your lips..." She ran her thumbs along my cheeks.

"Why are you doing this?" I shook my head at her. "I've told you before, I know you don't understand but I really don't want us to fight anymore, we've done that a lot lately." She hid her face in the crook of my neck.

"If he had kissed you..." I trailed off.

"He didn't." She rushed to say. "And I would never let him, ever! You're the only one I want to kiss, you know that right?" She came up to look at me again.

"I..." Before I could finish my sentence Mia's lips smashed mine in a heavy kiss, showing me I'm the only one. My anger dissolving with the movement of our lips together. "I love you." She whispered against my mouth. My stomach tightened with her words but I merely sighed.
"Please just let it go."

"I don't know if I can." I confessed.

There's no way I'm letting plastic face touch Mia and get away without at least a warning. Not that he'll come near her again because there's no way in hell I'm allowing that ever again but he must know she's mine and he won't dare even think of her again!

"I'm so sorry you saw that, it felt so wrong. I love you so much!" He grip tightened around my waist.

Her sweet voice going straight to my heart. I sighed heavily wrapping my arms around her.

"Let's go home." I told her.

"I---" She stopped to look at me cautiously. "I need to go back inside, they're uh they're waiting for me to carry on with the shoot." She mumbled staring at the floor.

"What?" I shocked on my own breath.

"I'm sorry I... They already paid everything, it can't be cancelled now I---"

"No!" I yelled causing her to wince a little.

"Harry..."

"Don't Harry me, are you seriously going back in there after what happened?" I raised my voice pushing her hands off me.

"I don't have other option." She looked exasperated.

"The thing is you do Mia!" I pointed out. "I've been so patient with you from the very beginning, always trying to understand your point of view because since I saw you I knew you were the one and I did my best to get to you, I haven't done half the things for anyone else in my entire life!" I paced back and forth yelling at her.

"I know and---"

"Let me finish!" She gulped down when interrupted her abruptly. "I said I always tried to understand but this time I really can't and you act like you don't have a choice when you could easily just get in the damn car and go with me but no, you have to do it because you supposedly can't use my money for your own benefit for a stupid little reason and I've had enough of it!" I huffed, almost out of breath from the yelling.

"What are you saying?" Her voice cracked at the end.

"I'm saying..." I stopped to stare at her. "I'm saying either you drop this shit or I'm done." The words left my mouth before I could process what I was saying, anger taking the best of me.

"Done with what?" I followed the movement of a tear rolling down her face.

"Everything." I said blankly.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Another tear fell from her blue eyes.

"I'm giving you two options, either me or this." I crossed my arms in front of my chest trying to stop the grumbling inside my stomach.

"You can't do this to me." The tears were now practically streaming down her face.

"I just did." I spoke harshly.

"I... Well uh... I... Why are you doing this?" Her voice cracked, her feet carrying over to me.

"Because I'm done watching you do this for a nonsense reason." I threw my hands in the air. "So?" I pressed when she didn't answer praying she chooses me because honestly I don't think I can handle if she doesn't.

"You already know the answer." She spoke slowly getting face to face with me.

"I don't." I blinked.

"You do. You know I'll always choose you over anything that comes." She stared straight into my eyes, my heart welcoming her words.

"Are you coming with me then?" I asked. I saw her looking between me and the door of the studio, biting her lip. "I'll be in the car if you decide to come."

With that I took everything I had in me to walk away from her and unlock the car. I sat on the driver's seat scanning Mia's face through the rear mirror.
If she doesn't get in the car in the next five minutes, I'm leaving. I watched as she wiped her eyes and walked towards the car climbing into the passenger's seat.
Relief flooded through my body when I sensed the amazing smell of her perfume. My hand came to rest of her thigh, assuring her it's okay and also making sure she's really here. Although her reaction was not expected by me at all.

"Can you take me to my father's?" She didn't even look at me while speaking.

"W-what?" I frowned.



Mia's POV


"I said... Can you take to my dad's house?" I stared at the window not baring to look at Harry's face right now.

"I'm taking us home." He replied lowly, every word stabbing my heart.

"Please." I finally turned to him.

I don't have any energy left to fight but I know that's what will happen if we go home so I rather go somewhere else until we both clear our minds.
Harry narrowed his eyes but nodded nonetheless probably reaching my conclusion. The drive was made in silence, not even the radio was heard.
I tried with everything I had to stop my tears but I seriously couldn't bring myself to it so I cried silently allowing the pain in my body. I know I chose Harry and I'd do it a million times again if necessary but the ultimatum he gave me really came out of the blue for me. I was not expecting something like that from him, he yelled at me so loudly I was almost afraid. Almost.
I know what happened was from and Dylan pushed it too far, I felt terrible knowing Harry was watching every movement, Dylan's hands on me were disgusting and his arrogant attitude made me want to puke. He's nothing compared to my curly haired boy, no one is. But threatening me to break up with me if I don't go home with him was just to much. Could he do it?

Could he really break up with me and send me away after everything? I moved away from my home, my friends, even my mum and sister because I love him more than life and he just brought that words out?
It felt like he betrayed me, after so much time of promises saying he'd never let me leave him and all the midnight talks on bed about our future together, our wedding, a new house just for us, even kids! He hurt me! He hurt me so much with that, I don't think he even realizes that. It pained me so much I could not longer feel it. I seriously couldn't, my body was completely numb to it. And the worst thing is I know I could never live without him, my life simply does not exist if Harry ain't in it...

"Mia?" Harry's voice rescued me from the dark side. "We're here." He pointed to the path of my dad's house.

"Humm." I unbuckled my seatbelt ready to get out when Harry's hand held mine.

"I thought you chose me." His whisper barely audible.

"I did I just... I want to be with my family." I stared at the horizon behind him.

"I'm your family too Mia." His eyes no longer shone, instead of the usual sparkle he always seems to carry, they're were dull, completely lifeless.

I dry swallowed nodding, not really able to utter a word after watching his eyes like that.

"I'll go home when I'm ready." I climbed out of the car.

"I'll pick you." His words always a whisper.

"No! I mean I'll go by my own."

"Okay." He spoke after a minute.

"Mia?" He called when I was practically closing the door. "You'll go home to me right?" His eyes bore into mine.

"Yes." I replied knowing there's no other answer I could give him.

It's amazing how you know my writing and that I don't do happily ever after which is true but I don't think I've ever mentioned that (?)
And yes, I'm replying 6 months later, sorry.
I do envision the next step after that last chapter ended but that, of course, is gonna stay in my head. :)
