Harrys pov

"Come stay with me." Briony was looking up at me with a dead serious look on her face. She held onto my arms and squeezed them while waiting for an answer.

"I can't do that Bri." I shook my head and laughed.

"But you can, I'm offering so just expect it Harry." She continued to smile up at me. She's so pretty, I wish she would realise.

I was really debating whether to say yes to Briony. I would love to spend every day with her, she makes me want to be a better person but I couldn't let my life affect hers. I live the sort of life where it's dangerous to be around someone you care about.

"I don't know Briony. Are you sure?"

She frantically nodded at me. She squeezed my arms again. Her long brown hair was flowing in the wind, her locks match her eyes perfectly. I never realised that until now. I was still stood still procrastinating my answer. I noticed that there were two really faded bruises in her neck, you could only see them if you were standing really close to her. I'm guessing they were from me.

Her big doe eyes were looking up at me, they are still wet from where she was just crying. I couldn't fathom saying no to her but I really had to think hard. We argue every time we see each other, most of the time it's over petty things but still. If we argue now, how is it going to be if we lived together.

"Well?" Her grip on my arms was getting tighter. "Look, Harry I'm not going to force you to stay with me but I just can't let you stay home knowing that your father hits you."

She's so caring, I wish I could be more like that.

"Your sure about this?" I held her face in my hands. I looked directly into her eyes, I needed her to be 100% that this was okay.

"I wouldn't ask if I wasn't sure Harry." She let go of my arms and held my hands that were on her face.

"Okay, I'll stay with you Bri."

Before I said anything else, she pushed her body forward into my own. Her arms wrapped around my waist and squeezed tight. I moved my own arms to around her neck. She fit so perfectly under my arms this way.

"I'm so glad you're going to be safe at my house." She whispered into my chest.

We both let go and I grabbed Briony's chin and tilted her chin up. A smile revealing her perfectly start teeth grew on her face. Her eyes were slightly squinting because of the golden sun behind me. I leant down snd lightly pressed her lips into my own. I could taste the saltiness of her tears that had fallen into her lips , they gathered there over the past ten minutes.

I felt her smile into the kiss, this only made me smile too. Our teeth were basically touching at this point. I pulled back completely and chucked my arm over Briony's shoulder. Her own arm hooked around my waist and we started to walk together down the path towards the car park.

"We'll take my car back to your house, I've got a bag of clothes in there." We headed down the path back along the out skirts of the field. "We can come get your car tomorrow or something."

"Okay." She nodded next to me.

Walking back to my car I felt nervous. Don't get me wrong, I'm so fucking exited to stay with Briony and have her in my life everyday but I know that my father is going to freak the fuck out when he realises I'm not coming home. I have no idea what he's going to do or if he'll tell our boss and then he'll do something. I don't care about me but I know what Samuel is like, it's Briony I'm worried about.

We got back to my car, it was parked directly next to Bri's car. I've never parked my car so fast, when I saw her obnoxiously bright pink mini, I knew she was here and I just had to get to her. I opened up the passenger side door so could Bri to get into it. She let go of my waist and slipped into the chair. I smiled at her as she looked up at me. I shut her door and walked around the car to my side.
