Bad

Harry's POV:

I am sitting in literature when my mind begins to go all over the place, Beth is still at home and who knows what she could possibly be doing, Tate and Colton are still at school, Addie is lying to Beth about the friendship she and I used to have, Sky will not leave me alone, especially after I yelled at her in front of everyone in the cafeteria, and I am losing my shit thinking about it all.

My mind never leaves Beth. Beth, what has she done to me, it's like my body and mind are weakened when I am not with her and can only be strong again when I am in her presence. I told her, I told everyone, I didn't want her, that I didn't want to be with her, that I was dating Sky again, but that was a huge mistake. That mistake has really screwed me over too, thinking that it would be smart to leave Beth for the sake of my reputation and my life, when I knew, deep down, that she is the only one I care for. Beth has only been a part of my life for a little while but the things she has done and the things that she has said while in this time has made me want to be with her forever.

I have now fucked everything up, she won't talk to me. Addie did give me hope when she said that Beth cares about me. I have changed my mind about being in a relationship with Beth, I realize that if I am with her, I can protect her, but Addie told me to give her some time. I will stay at a distance for now but I will become close to her again.

Beth's POV:

It is about 2 in the afternoon when I decide to go for a run. Addie won't be home until 3, and I left my phone at the house so she could not track me. I had to get out without her or Harry worrying and blubbering like insane parents.

I am almost home when I hear a car start behind me. I am sure it is nothing so I keep running, but I was wrong.

Tate had pulled up next to me in the old car he was driving, which looked similar to Harry's, but his car was much more beat down.

"Hello, lovely," Tate said to me almost breaking his ride completely, he was alone. I stop running and walk to his window, panting a bit.

"Hello, Tate," I say, standing over him.

"It took me a while to figure out where you were, but I was very disappointed in myself when I hadn't thought of this place first. She is your best friend, after all." He smirks at me.

"You were very silly to come here, someone will find out... Harry is at school I presume, though I wouldn't know." I mumble, glancing towards Addie's house.

"And why wouldn't you know?" He asks, pushing his question.

"Because Harry and I are not necessarily on speaking terms at the moment." I said, moving my arm to rest on the car.

"Did the little bastard already mess it up? You two have only been dating what, a week? Two?" He says. Dating?

"Harry and I are not dating and we have never dated," I said becoming stern.

"Whatever sweetheart, I don't have time for your lies. Hopefully, you will be at school tomorrow? I missed watching you through the cracks." He says and speeds away.

That boy is the bastard, not Harry. And why in the hell does everyone in that little group assume Harry and I are dating? We literally are never together around other people!

An unprepared run-in like that cannot happen again. Tate said he misses watching me, meaning he has been watching me? From the two or three days he has been at school when I have been there? From where? No, I have to be prepared, I need to be prepared. I walk into the house and go straight to the phone. I dial the familiar number and wait for a voice.

"Beth? Is everything okay? What happened? Do you need anything?" He questions almost immediately.

"Harry, I need you."
