My Dangerous Knight

Clare's P.O.V

"AMERICA?!" I shout. Harry just told me he was taking me to America for vacation. What makes him think I want to leave London?! This place is my home.

"Yeah. America. I've been thinking that you've been through so much these passed few weeks and you need some time away from all this gang crap." He said with a twisted smile. I fold my arms and look at him. He does know he's a gang member, right? He reads my look.

"Oh, be quiet. It'll just be you and me. Clare and Harry hit the States!" He says like it would be in the cinema. I roll my eyes and sit on the couch. I leave for one hour and I'm already being told I'm moving to America.

"But I don't want to leave London..." I say with a pouting face. He sits next to me and takes my hand in his large one. I turn to look at him. Right when our eyes meet each other I stare at his eyebrows ring.

"Come on, Clare. You need some time away from London. I don't want you to go on walks afraid someone's after you. Where we're going, no one will think of you as a poor little girl." I nodded and look down at the ground.

"How come I think you're keeping things from me?" I asked. He immediately tensed up. I stand up quickly.

"I knew it! What're you hiding, Styles?" I say with a smile, crossing my arms over my chest. I was a bit mad but glad I caught him in a lie. He shook his head and stood up with me.

"What're you talking about, darling?"

"You tensed up when I said I thought you were lying! That is a sign! Tell me what's really happening." I demand. An edge of his lips curl upwards.

"There isn't anyhting I'd keep from you." Lie.

"Okay, then. If you're going to be lying to me, then I'll start lying to you. I'm going to go pack my bags." I stomp towards the stairs, fists clenched by my sides. Harry rushes in front of me, blocking me from going any farther.

"Get out of my way, Harold." I say a bit to harsh. He wasn't phased.

"Not so fast, sweetheart. You want to know what's happening?" I nod, "we aren't going to L.A or Hollywood. We're going somewhere you won't get hurt.

"Why would you keep that from me? It's not that important." He did that thing where he crosses his legs and puts his hands behind his back. He half smiled.

"Because I thought if I told you, you wouldn't come." I wrap my arms around his waist. Just like Louis, he tensed up at my sudden action. I didn't care though. He was going to get a lot of my hugs.

"I don't care where we go, Harry" 'As long as I'm with you.' I added in my head. He awkwardly hugged me back. We've hugged before but this one was sudden.

"Thank you, Harry. I'm going to pack my bags for real now." When I try pulling away, he doesn't let go. He rubs my back in a 'not just yet' way. I smile and hug him again.

After I packed everything I could in 3 suitcases, we're on our way to the airport. I fell asleep on Harry in the taxi on the way there. He insisted on taking one so he could be next to me. I'm not sure if we're together or just really close. It's hard to tell. When we stop at the last stop loght before w get to the airport, I decide to ask.

"Harry?" He hums in response, intertwining our fingers. I watch as his large hand swallows my small one whole.

"Are we dating?" He tensed up again. Next thing I know, he's chuckling. I look up at him to see he was already looking down at me. Quickly, I look away.

"You can't even look me in my eye, Clare. Do I scare you?" I shake my head slowly. I don't know why I can't look him in the eyes. What's wrong with me?

"But I need to keep you safe. If I have to tell people that, I'm not afraid to." I feel my heart sink. Not the response I wanted.

"So you'd only date me to keep my safe?" He shifts, unhooks my seatbelt, and pulls me onto his lap.

"Trust me, sweetheart. I want to date you more than anything. But me and you together would be like putting a lion in a cage with a lamb. At first, everything would be fine but then things will go downhill." I felt broken hearted. I know no matter what I say will change his mind but I need another day in this.

"Opposites attract."

"That's only with magnets, Clare. People aren't always like that, y'know?" He says. I nodded slowly and lay my head against his chest. His heart beat wasn't as fast as mine right now. His was calming.

The taxi driver pulls into the airport parking lot and Harry pays him. All through the airport people stared at us like we were some creatures from another planet. I stay close to Harry as eyes follow me everywhere I go.

"They keep staring at us, Harry." I say. He stops and looks around at them. They're eyes widen whenever he looks at them.

"Ignore them, sweetheart." And we keep walking. We give out tickets and passports to a lady with red hair and freckles. She looked scared. Really scared. We take a seat and wait for our flight to be called. An hour passes and Harry stands up

"I'm going to use the loo," he takes the necklace he always wears off and puts it around my neck, "this will keep people away. Don't let anyone hurt you." And he leaves.

I look down at the necklace. It wasn't anything special. It was just a dog tag. I flip it around to see it had a name. 'Gemma' it said. Who's Gemma? Suddenly, a girl comes up to me. The one who we gave our tickets to. She looked terrified.

"You! We're you with that man?" She points towards me, running up to me. I nodded and scooted back as far as I could in my chair.

"Is he keeping you hostage? My word. Come with me. I'll help you." She grabs my hand and tries pulling me. I try to pull away from her but her grip is really tight.

"Let me go. Stop it." I say frantically. A large pair of hands yank me away from the lady. I turn to see Harry. His eyes were a resemblance of the night. Black and cloudy. His jaw was clenched tight and he looked ready to swing at her. The lady, on the other hand, was terrified. Worse than before.

"If you lay a hand on her again, I'll kill you!" He snapped. Her eyes grow wide and she looked at me.

"I tried to save you, girl. You're on your own now! You freaks!" And she runs away. I turn to look at Harry. The blackness in his eyes hasn't gone away. I go in to hug him but he steps away.

"What did I tell you, Clare?! I said don't let anyone hurt you and you go right around and follow that woman!!" He snaps like a rubber band. My eyes widen.

"No. She grabbed me and didn't let go-"

"And you didn't yell for help?! She was practically kidnapping you!! You're so clueless, Clare! Do I have to make you follow me 24/7?! God, I hate how childish you are!" I knew Harry didn't really feel that way. He was just mad and lashing it out on me.

"You don't mean that, Harry." I say quietly. He scoffed and pulls his cigarette pack out of his pocket. Next thing I know, he's walking away.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to cool off! Don't follow me!"

And I'm all alone... Again
