Forever | h.s.

Chapter 3

~Annabel's POV~

"Wait, so he saved you from a creepy rapist, and told you he didn't care about you?" Lilly asked. The wedding was over, and Lilly, Brielle and I sat in Lilly's room, with a bowl of popcorn, and blankets spread all across the floor

"Yeah, I mean I guess. That's what happened." I shrugged, grabbing a handful of popcorn.

"Strange.." Lilly frowned.

"Harry's a pretty closed off guy. No one ever sees him, not even his parents. Well, not his dad at least." Brielle spoke.

"Why not?" I asked, curiously.

"I don't know. I mean, like I said, he's pretty closed off. I don't think he tells just anyone about this kind of stuff." Brielle shrugs. I look down, unable to get my mind off of the mysterious man that saved me from being sexually harrassed.

"Let's watch a movie!" Lilly suggests, pushing herself off the floor. I nod in agreement, and scooch my body to lean against the front of the bed, as the three of us sit on the floor, eager to start the movie.

~Harry's POV~

I pulled into the driveway and turned of the ignition. I sat in my car, as the warm air slowly died down. Had I been too much of an asshole to that girl? I didn't even know her name, I think it started with an A, or was that one of the other girls? I could only wonder why she kept staring at me at the dining table. Was it because she thought I was an ass for showing up late to a wedding? Was it because she thought I was good looking? Whatever the reason, her confidence seemed to throw me off. It was as if she didn't care if I saw her looking, she would do whatever she wanted to. I liked that. Her stare made me insecure, as if she was disappointed in me. I decided to look at her, and was immediately intrigued by her.. well, her. Her overall appearance was breathtaking. I didn't even know how to describe it. But she was beautiful. The way she looked away from me, so confidently, not caring that I knew she was staring at me, just made me even more interested.

I cursed myself for making me seem like a total jerk infront of her. I didn't mean to come off as rude. But that's the way I am towards everyone, and everyone knew it. Except for her. I couldn't help but feel bad, when she looked at me, in complete shock. It was quite amusing, actually, listening to her call me an asshole.

When I saw her getting touched by another guy, I couldn't help but lose it. I tried to ignore it, but couldn't stop myself when I realized the guy was Adam. I wanted to pound him, to rip his head off. But that'll only make it worse. He was drunk, again, and I needed to stop him. It wasn't like I cared for the girl, if it was any other girl I would've done the same. I just couldn't bring myself to stop thinking about her, in that amazing dress. She was so hot. But it wasn't like I would ever see her again, so why would I have anything to worry about? I climbed out of the car, and fumbled for the house key. I kicked my dress shoes off, and walked into my room, only to rip off my blazer, and shirt.

"Stupid weddings.." I mumble, tugging off my pants.

"Harry?" I hear a soft voice.

"Yeah, in here. Just give me a second." I sigh, running my hands through my touseled hair. I dress into something more comfortable, a plain black t-shirt and sweatpants, before walking out the door.

"How was the wedding?" My mum asked, her eyes gleaming.

"It was alright, sorry you couldn't be there. But it was a stupid wedding anyways." I wrap her fragile body in my arms.

"Oh stop it, Harry. I want you to get married someday. Maybe before it's my time to leave." She pulls away from our hug, and she looks at me with hopeful eyes.

"That's not going to happen mum, you know how I feel about marriage. It's just not my thing." I rub the back of my neck.

"But maybe if you-"

"Go to sleep, mum. I'll see you in the morning." I cut her off before she can say anything else about marriage. There's plenty of reasons I don't want to get married. But I'm not going to get into that. All I need is rest. Anything to get my mind off of that beautiful girl I was so terribly rude too. I smile at the thought, before drifting off to sleep.
