'Pink lipstick stains, cigarette butts 

I lie in bed, I hate my guts 

A day in the dark, a murdered afternoon, yeah 

Oh baby, darling, how I'd love to become your suicide blonde 

To lie beside my Romeo, oh what a wicked way to go.'

Niall pulled out his mobile and called Harry.  

Why didn't I think of that?

He paces around the room frantically.  

I couldn't hear anything.

Then, he hung up and pulled his coat on.

"Where are you going?" I questioned impatiently.  

"Marina, stay here, don't go anywhere." Niall instructed.

I nodded drinking in his concern.

Niall flashes out of the door and left me sat alone in his flat.  

What am I suppose to do now?

After mindlessly wandering around Niall's flat, the door burst open.

Niall had Harry sprawled against him and pulled his arm around him as support.

I ran towards them and pulled Harry upright into my arms.

Close-up, the sight was horrific.

Harry had bruises covering his jawline and cuts on his lip and face.

Has he been fighting again?

"Baby, what happened?" I questioned worried.

Harry stayed silent.  

He is so bloody frustrating.

"Listen, you guys are welcome to stay here, I have to pop out for abit. I'll be back later." Niall informed.

I nodded rapidly.  

Now I stood infront of a fragile Harry.

I took his hand and led him to the bathroom.

I sat him down on the toilet cover and took out a cloth and wet it with warm water.

I tipped Harry's face back and began to wipe of the blood from his tearstained cheeks.

"Harry, can you tell me what the hell happened?" I asked maintaining my calm and collected attitude.

"I went out early in the morning -- and I beat him. I just wanted to scare him off but, I lost control." Harry admitted sadly.

"Wait--who are you talking about?"I asked.  

"That pathetic popstar."Harry muttered sardonically.  

"So, you got into a fight with Bieber? Why?"  

"I wanted to inflict pain on him after what he did to you. He deserves to be miserable." Harry pointed out.

I was battling two different conflcting emotions right now.  

I was pleased at Harry's protective nature but, at the same time I was mad as hell for his childish actions.

After cleaning him up, I kissed him hard.

"Don't you dare get into another stupid fight."I warned.  

Harry nodded and continued to kiss me.

"Marina, can I ask you something?" 

"Of course."

"Did you break-up with me that night, because of Justin?"

I processed his words.

To be honest, I broke up with Harry on impulse.  

I was utterly overwhelmed at the time.

I shook my head.

"Why didn't you tell me what he did to you?" Harry asked.  

I looked down.  

I should've told Harry everything that happened.

"I'm sorry. I was completley stupid that night. That was by farmost the biggest mistake of my life." I admitted.

"It killed me to break your heart so selfishly that night. I regret it so much. I wanted to ran back to you and beg you to take me back but, I figured you'd already moved on to some leggy blonde." I babbled.

"Move on? I was torn that you left, how could I let go of you that quickly." Harry said in a voice laced with annoyance.

"You seemed fine from what little I saw of you in performances or interviews." I shrugged.

"Appearances can be deceptive, Marina. After you left I felt like the sun had stopped rising. I was in a state of perpetual night.  

The darkness consumed me.  

It's then that I realized, you're my light and my sun.  

I need you, I want you, I love you, Marina."  

Butterflies erupted in my stomach after his sweet confession.

"Harry, I love you so much." I said embracing him like my life depended on it.

"Can you promise me, something?" He whispered.  

I nodded promptly.  

"Don't ever leave me again." 

I nodded.  

"No, I want to hear you say it."He insisted.  

"I won't leave you -- ever." I vowed.

Harry engulfed me in his arms and kissed me.
