Insecure

She could be a Joan of Arc but he's scared of the light that's inside of her

Pearl - Katy Perry

"Sara!" A mans voice sounds.

"Sara, where are you?" Another follows, suddenly a hard body hits my back and I feel Harry wrap his arms around me. "We need to get you out of here baby- what the fuck?" Harry looks up to see Chloe and Emily still frozen in a very intimate position. "Isn't that the blonde you told me bullied you?" He whispers and I nod, "Liam don't come in here-"

"What the fuck? Seriously Emily?" Liam growls as he brushes past us.

"Liam I can explain." Emily jumps up and smooths her dress out.

"We need to get you out of here Sara." Harry says as he moves me to the door.

"I can't leave her Harry, she's my best friend-"

"Michael's here." He snaps, my eyes go wide and I begin to tremble in fear.

"Sara go, I'll be fine." Emily insists and I look at her questioningly, "Keep her safe Harry." She adds weakly, Harry nods before pulling me out towards the back exit. 

Fear and anger flow through me, why is he here? Did he know I'd be here? Has he been keeping track of me all this time? "How do you know he's here?" I whisper as we walk briskly towards the large doors, my hand enclosed in his much larger one the only thing making me feel safe.

"I saw him lurking around the dance floor right after you walked away, I don't think he recognized me though." Harry says before opening the door and allowing me to slip out.

"Wow, you look hot babygirl." A voice I had hoped to never hear again sounds, I look up and come face to face with those dull dark brown eyes I loathe so much. "You bored the other one to death with your cold fish act hm?" He adds nodding at Harry who immediately steps in front of me, completely shielding me with his massive frame.

"Just walk away mate, I don't want to have to fuck up that pretty face again." Harry growls and Michael smirks.

"Ah it is you, you know I've learned some interesting facts about you." Michael says with a sick grin as he approaches Harry, "Seems we aren't so different, you and I Mr. Harry Styles. Both older men in love with a student, both are expecting with women who aren't her because frankly... She doesn't deserve to be a mother." He adds, Harry's fists tighten as he tries to restrain himself.

"Harry is nothing like you Michael, he's kind and caring. He's not some predator who wants to claim a girl over a decade younger then him, he's not a cold snake who would try to force a girl who trusted him to get an abortion." I spit, Harry glances at me from the side nervously.

'Isn't he though? I bet you wish that baby was aborted months ago, why don't you just go be a happy family with your kid and it's mother? Let Sara go back to what she deserves." Michael spits as he looks around Harry at me, "All she's good for is to cook and fuck, that's it."

"Sara?" Another voice sounds from behind me, "Are you alright?" I look back and see Ian standing in his tux, I guess he was chaperoning. He had returned to school after a stint in rehab and paying to repair the damages he did to the school.

"Oh look, the other man you fucked while he had an expecting wife at home. Don't you see a pattern here Sara? You target taken men and when their significant others fall pregnant you get cast to the side, but don't worry babygirl. I can take care of both you and your sister." He says with a maniacal smirk, something in Harry snaps and before I know it he's barreling towards Michael who easily dodges him and grabs me in the process. "I know what your body needs baby." He whispers, his breath hot on my neck making my skin crawl.

Harry recovers from his stumble and Michael whips me around to face Harry so my back is to Michael as his hand goes towards my neck. It was like my mind shut off and my body took over, I jab my sharp stiletto heel into his foot before turning around. I connect my elbow with his nose resulting in a sickening crunch before kneeing him in the crotch causing him to fall over in pain. 

"Holy shit." Harry says looking at me in surprise, "Where the hell did you learn that from?"

I look back over my shoulder and smile softly at Ian, "I had a good self defense teacher." I say softly, Ian nods with a smile but soon the smile drops as dread takes over. 

As I turn my head I'm met with the shiny barrel of a gun, Michael is standing again and steadies the gun in one hand as his other arm is wrapped around Harry's neck with a knife held against it. "Michael please don't hurt him." I try to reason as tears begin to fall.

"Why not? This is all his fault after all right? If he hadn't of come into your life and fill your head with those lies about your own worth and shit we wouldn't be here right now, you would still be mine." Michael growls bitterly as he presses the knife against Harry's neck harder.

"Let him go and I'll come with you, I promise." I whisper.

"No Sara!" Harry screams as I walk closer to Michael.

"Just let him go and we'll go back to how it used to be, please I'll give you what ever you want." I say softly with a hint of seduction as I reach up and caress his arm still holding the gun on me. I bat my eyes and bite my lip innocently as I reach up to the hand holding the knife to Harry's neck, in order for him to trust me I need to do something stupid so I take the knife from his hands and toss it behind me before placing my hands on his chest. "Let him go Mikey, please." I whisper as I press my body against his, the gun now trained on Ian.

Michael shoves Harry aside before grabbing my neck and pressing his lips to mine possessively, Harry watches in disbelief and heartache before I toss him a reassuring wink. My hand runs down his arm that hold the gun as he slides his disgusting tongue past my lips, once I reach his wrist I bite down. Not enough to draw blood but enough to stun him as I knock the gun from his hand.

Before I know it Michael's body is ripped from me as Harry throws him against a large black SUV, he growls before pinning him to the vehicle and pummeling his face. Ian is quick at my side to pick up the gun and aim it at Michael. 

"Get her out of here Styles." Ian bellows, Harry freezes not realizing that Ian knew who he was. "Take her home, take care of her." He says softly, Harry nods in thanks before grabbing my hands and running to the front of the venue. He pulls me into the limo that Liam and Emily had brought here before barking my address at the driver. 

I don't even get to take a deep breath before Harry's lips crash against mine. "Harry." I whisper not liking kissing him right after having to kiss Michael but Harry shakes his head.

"I don't care." He whispers against my lips before molding them together, his hand tangles in my loose curls as his kiss takes over my entire being. "You're so stupid." He says between kisses, "And so fucking smart. You're brave, you saved me Sara."

"You saved me Harry."
