Collision

The weight of Harry's body falls on top of Cameron as they both tumble to the ground. Within a few seconds Harry's hands are clenched around Cameron's shirt, bringing their faces close.

"What the fuck did you say to her?" He seethes. I expect Cameron to look afraid, but he has a smug expression on his face.

"I told her the truth," he smiles, still trying to wriggle himself free. I finally stop my trance and run across the short distance to them before Harry's fist can connect with his face.

"Stop!" I cry, grabbing the back of Harry's shirt and pulling him back. He's a lot stronger than me but he doesn't protest, but he doesn't get off of Cameron either.

"This is what you want, Jess?" Cameron asks from beneath Harry, making matters worse. Harry turns back to the boy beneath him, his jaw clenched. I've never seen him hold back from fighting before. I have no idea why he's doing it now when Cameron's egging him on.

"Yes," I say and grab Harry once again, trying to get through to him that this is not a good idea. He finally understands and climbs off of Cameron, still holding his ground to make sure he doesn't try anything funny.

"What did he say?" Harry's face turns to concern as he turns to me.

I shake my head. "Nothing," I lie. I'll tell him when Cameron's not in distance for him to punch.

"Let's just go," I pull on Harry's sleeve.

"If you ever fucking say anything to her again, I will kill you," Harry hisses, his eyes turning darker than their normal emerald shade. I pull him back once again and he follows me to his idling car. I take one last look at Cameron as I open the door.

"Goodbye Cameron," I tell him before climbing into the car. When I get inside the warm interior, I notice Harry's hands are clenched around the steering wheel.

"Calm down," I try to ease his anger but he just brushes me off and tears out of the parking lot. I settle back into the seat, this is going to take a while.

"What did he say?" He asks finally, his tone much more calmer.

"Just something stupid about how I was too good for you," I wave it off.

"You are," he mumbles quietly, making me turn his way.

"Don't say that,"

"Don't say what? The truth?" He asks.

"You sound just like Cameron," I roll my eyes.

"I don't sound like that prick," He answers, quickly recovering himself once he sees my look, "I mean, I'm just saying the truth. I don't deserve you."

"Please stop saying that," I plead.

"Fine, but at least you know how I feel," he shakes his head as we turn onto the main road.

We're silent the rest of the way to Harry's house. All of my anger has almost worn off by the time we pull up to his luxurious house, but I'm not ready to test that theory. I follow Harry silently into his house and up to his room, making sure to shut the door so Anne won't hear in case we get into another argument. I take a seat down on the edge of Harry's bed, waiting for him to speak first.

"I'll be back," He mutters before exiting the room. I fall back on the bed and put my head in my hands, sighing loudly. This day has turned out like crap. All I wanted was a nice talk with Cameron and he turned it into something big about how I was too good for Harry. And then becomes mad over a misunderstanding.

While I'm sorting out my thoughts, the door opens and Harry returns with a plate of cookies.

"Thought you might be hungry," he sets the tray next to me. I sit up and grab one of Anne's delicious sugar cookies. As I'm eating, I realize that Harry wants me to speak first.

"I'm sorry for-"

"Let's not talk about this," he kisses my forehead and sits down beside me, "Just relax." He grabs a cookie as he sits down beside me on the bed. I nod, relief flooding over me since I don't have to get into an argument with Harry.

I lay down beside him, pulling the blanket over the two of us. Despite Harry's cold shoulder, his body is surprisingly warm. I snuggle down into his side and lay my head on his chest as he flips on the TV.
