“I’m so sorry Harry..I ..I ..you’re hurt because of me..” She whispered as tears fell.

“Hey, it’s not your fault. The bastard shouldn’t have laid a hand on you. ..Shh it’s not your fault.” I caressed her cheek, wiping away her tears.

She sniffed and looked up at me.” Let me clean this up for you.”

She grabbed my hand and lead me into the bathroom.

“Sit” she motioned towards the toilet.

She bent and took out a some tweezers, washcloth, and a first aid kid…

..

She removed the last piece of glass in my knuckle, before smearing cream all over it.

“I’m sorry…that this happened to you.” Looking up at me before hooking the metal piece to the wrap around my hand. Still in between my legs, I wrapped my arms around her.

“Again love, this wasn’t your fault…and thank you. “ I stood up and pulled her into me.

Besides my mum, no ones really cared for me like that. I brought my lips up to her forehead and kissed her lightly.

As I headed up the door Thalia called my name. “Harry..Harry.”

“Is something wrong…?” I turned to look at her confused.

“I u-um…will ..uh do you want to-o…um never mind. “ She stuttered

“No tell me ..?” I placed my hands on her forearms and pulled her to me. “What’s wrong love.”

She looked frightened.

“I was…going to ask you if you wanted to stay the night…But..I…you don’t have too..I’m just scared.” I let out a sigh…the less she knew the better. For now Hayes was just an abusive creep..who fancied her, and for now that’s all he’ll be.



*****

I had cleaned up all his cuts and wrapped his hand. I felt horrible knowing that he was hurt because I had decided to be stupid and let that creep drive me home. I tortured myself..

I stood in between his legs and tended to his cuts. As I dabbed his cuts with alcohol, I could hear him wince.

I applied cream on all his cuts and wrapped the rest of his hand before looking at him again.

“I’m sorry…that this happened to you.” He looked up at me and hooked his arms around my waist, pulling me in.

“Again love, this wasn’t your fault…and thank you.” He sighed as he stood up and pulled me into him again. He kissed my forehead and paused before heading out the door..

I stood in the bathroom, and felt unsafe. While I helped mend his cuts, I felt safe. I was terrified..really. I knew what Hayes was capable of..and it scared me knowing that he knew where I lived.

“Harry…Harry.” Hoping he hadn’t left yet, I ran into the foyer.

“Is something wrong…?” He looked at me confused.

“I u-um…will..uh do you want to-o…um never mind.” I stuttered obviously nervous. I wanted him to stay with me for the night. Not like sex…but I was afraid.

“No tell me ..?” He placed both of his hands on my forearms, pulling me into him.

“What’s wrong love.”

I found it impossible to talk to him clearly. Not only being afraid…he made me nervous.. I don’t even know why.

“I was…going to ask you if you wanted to stay the night…But…I… you don’t have too..I’m just scared.”

He sighed in relief, but I don’t know why. I felt like he was hiding something from me. Something

I knew was eating at him. When I was with Darcy..he wanted to know what she had told me…even now…something so obscure that, even I couldn’t understand it. I stared for awhile …well maybe a little too long and he noticed.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” He winked as he scooped me up and walked up the stairs.

He laid me on my bed and motioned me to roll over so he could lay down beside me.

“Goodnight Harry” I yawned.

“Goodnight princess.” I blinked up at him. Princess?..I blushed and rolled over, back facing him.

He groaned as he grabbed my waist pulling me into a spoon position.

“You’ll always be safe in my arms..” and with that I fell into a deep sleep.

***

I woke up way before her alarm and I laid there, watching her chest rise and fall. How peaceful she looked when she slept, how everything was peaceful when she was around. Even when she was angry…everything about her was just perfect. I couldn’t help but caress her face, watching as she moaned against my touch. My heart beated rapidly, as she turned, and laid her head on my chest. I haven’t even kissed her yet, and she has this effect on me. It’s barely been a day..what am I thinking. Even if…I did pursue her…I’d be dangerous. I…can’t let what happened to …her happen to Thalia…even with Hayes. I wanted to kill him, but we were already on bad terms…and it would make everything worse. I sighed and Thalia moaned, rubbing her eyes as she attempted to wake up.

“Your hearts beating really fast…” She giggled

“Yea…it’s..uh…probably cause I just woke up..” I replied..with my morning voice.

Her eyes widened and she smiled. “Your morning voice…It’s hot…” She slid out of the bed and sauntered over to the shades, letting the sun shine in, and on her. She yawned rubbing her eyes and walking to the bathroom. I heard the shower go on, and I quickly ran downstairs and walked to my house gathering some of my clothes before heading back.

As I walked back up the stairs, I spotted her staring out the window. Blow dryer in one hand and the other holding her towel. I slipped into the bathroom took a quick shower and got dressed before heading back in her room. Thalia had already applied her makeup and was doing her hair.

I walked up behind her. “ You really don’t need makeup..you’re beautiful just the way you are..”

She looked up and blushed.

“OUCH! “ She yelped.

I turned on my heel so quickly I probably could’ve stumbled on my own two feet. “What’s wrong”

“Burned my forehead” She pouted.

I kissed her forehead and looked down at her. “Better?”

“Yea..” she smiled..”Help me pick out an outfit.” Her eyes danced with excitement.

I let out a low chuckle …”Sure”

She laid out all different outfits she had picked out. “Pick…and pick one for tonight’s party.”

I glanced at all the clothes she laid out. I picked out the high waist jegging along with a long sleeve cropped sweater. As well as the same jegging, along with a loose leather shirt. and a beanie that had BRAT printed on it.

“Good choice….Ha…um…I need a nickname for you…” Why she had wanted a nickname for me was beyond me.

“The lads call me Hazza..or Haz.”

She gave me a cheeky grin. “ Haz…well Haz you should come and pick out my outfits more often.”

“I should…Now go get dressed we’ll walk to school.”

“Okay “ She beamed as she went into the other room to change.

She grabbed money off of the counter and stuffed it in her wallet before running out the door to catch up with me. We started walking for a few minutes until I heard beeping.

“Awe look how cute…Haz walking with Thalia.” Lou laughed. I walked over to the car to say hi before returning back to Thalia..but where is she..I turned to Lou

“Where’s Thalia?! “

“I DON’T KNOW I was talking to you and…Haz…isn’t that’s Hayes car?” Pointing over to the black mustang with a taped up window.

I heard a screech. “ Get off of me….GET OFF OF …” and then it went silent. I ran over to the side of one of the houses’ and saw Hayes towering over Thalia..fist in the air.

My mind went completely blank. I felt my temper peak, as I walked over to Hayes. I grabbed his fist and yanked it back. Beating him till I heard Lou.

“HAZ STOP. YOU’RE GONNA KILL EM. Go help her, not him.” I spun and picked Thalia off the ground. Grabbing her belongings and all I brought her up to my room and laid her on my bed. I soon found myself caressing her cheek…

I’ll always protect you.

***

As Harry…I mean Haz and I walked outside, he had spotted Lou. I fiddled with my phone as they talked briefly till I saw a car park right in front of Lou. My heart dropped as I noticed the taped window. Hayes..The door swung open and he lunged at me.

“You fucking bitch..” He grabbed my neck pushing me against the wall.

I heard a faint voice in the distance. “Where’s Thalia?” hearing the panic in his voice I winced.

“Shut the fuck up, If you dare say a word, I swear to god ill beat the living shit out of ya. You know you want this..don’t try and shy away. You don’t have to fight back.” He laughed and i felt his poisonous breath on my neck. I lifted my leg and kicked him in the nuts, but he caught my leg and I shrieked.

Scared to death. I yelped “Get off of me…GET OFF..” and he punched me. I winced in pain and laid there helpless, while cupping my throbbing cheek. I heard Hayes’ whimper and Lou shouting. I guess I knocked out, because woke up to Haz in his bed as he caressed my face.

Surprised I whispered, just to reassure myself.

“Haz..?”

“Yes…It’s me princess…Come here…I got so scared.” He pulled me into him, letting me smell his sweet scent. I felt my eyes brewing with tears as I tried to hold them back.

“Shh baby, don’t cry. Don’t cry. I’m here…” Then I heard him mumble something barely audible, but enough for me to hear. “I’ll always be here.”
