lust // h.s.

Begin Again

How do you guys like the new cover!?

Isn't it ironic that in Lust I cast Taylor Swift as such an awful person and then use her songs for chapter names? xx

I move around slowly, immediately being greeted by sharp pains traveling through my jaw.

With that I let out a moan,

"Shh." A soft voice whispers.

I look down, to see strong arms wrapped around me.

And they weren't Harry's.

I look up, letting out another whimper of pain from my jaw hitting his chest.

It's Niall.

His bright blue eyes look down at me.

"Your okay. Your safe."

His hand caresses my cheek softly and I rest my head on his chest.

I was utterly exhausted and didn't quite know why.

Last night was a bit of a blur, but I couldn't get the image of a horrified Harry out of my mind.

With those thoughts I slowly drifted into sleep.

"Your not alound near her without someone with you." A stern voice of Louis says followed by Harry.

"We can see eachother whenever we goddamn please, I'm a grown man. I can make my own decisions."

"It's not about you Harry. It's about her." Perrie says.

"What?"

"If it happens again and we can't stop you-"

"It won't happen!" Harry protests.

I inch out of bed, and pull my Harvard sweatshirt over my head.

And trot down the stairs feeling another headache kick in,

"But Harry if it does-"

As I walk into the living room they completely come to a halt.

Silence fills the room and all eyes are on me.

As I catch Harry's flashbacks flood into my mind from lastnight.

I feel my body begin to tremble, as an arm wraps around my waist.

It's Niall.

"Lets get you away from him." He mumbles, and helps me to the kitchen.

"Oh go fuck yourself Niall." Harry spits, and walks out the back door.

Niall and I enter, he sits me down on a stool. "How are you feeling?"

"Okay." I mumble.

We'd never really talked before but there was something about him that just made me feel warm and safe,

Like he'd never hurt me.

His soft hands placed 2 pills into mine and set a glass of water infront of me.

I popped in the pills and took a drink of water quickly.

"Thank you." I say.

A small, warm smile escapes him making my stomach stir.

He was stunning.

Absolutely stunning.

His blonde quiffed hair was met by brunette roots, soft sweet lips and his eyes. His eyes were a gorgeous shade of bright blue.

"Earth to Charlotte?" He jokes, waving his hand infront of my face.

I feel a strong blush taking over my cheeks. "Sorry." And a giggles escapes me.

Way to go Char.

"What were you saying?" I ask.

"I said you're quite beautiful."

Another blush fills my cheeks.

Fuck.

"Thanks, so are you." I reply.

No. No. No.

"That didn't sound right, your not beautiful. Well. I mean you are- but er. I mean. Your. Um. Handsome?"

God.

You just blew it hotshot.

"Was that a question?" He asks laughing.

I feel myself begin to laugh also, "It wasn't intended to!"

In a few minutes we're in hysterical fits of laughter.

After we calm down, I take another drink of water.

"Where's Demi?" I ask quietly.

"We decided to take a break, she needed to focus on music and I needed to focus on food."

I laugh, "Food?"

"Don't even laugh!" He exclaims and I make a 'lips zipped' motion.

Huh? Food. That's a new one.

"How in the hell did she even get out of here?" I ask.

"She's a millionaire. She has a helicopter. You can probably peice the rest together."

I laugh again.

He just had that effect on people I assume.

Maybe.

Just maybe.

It's time to begin again.
