pure (h.s.)

twenty nine

I left Harry's arms and ran straight out the door. I couldn't be in that apartment anymore. I slammed the door behind me and ran to the elevators. The elevator doors were just about to close when I felt a hand on my arm. I flinched, but then realized it was only Harry.

I pulled him to close to me, stepping out of the elevator. I cried onto his sweatshirt that smelt just like him. He rubbed my hair and told me everything is gonna be fine.

It wasn't, but he didn't know that.

"Sh, Caly. I'm here. I've got you," Harry cooed in my ear while his arms were still wrapped around me.

I broke the hug and Harry wiped my tears away.

"What happened back there, Caly? I didn't think my apartment was that bad," he joked.

"N-no, Harry, it isn't t-that," I said in between sniffles.

"Then what is it?" Harry questions.

"Y-your room mate," I say softly.

"Liam? What about him?" He asked.

I stood there quiet for a second. I didn't know how to say this. Harry is going to get so angry once the words come out of my mouth, but I had to say it.

"He's t-the one who, you know, did that stuff at the p-party a month ago," I said looking down at my feet.

I looked up at Harry, but he was gone. His footsteps made its way back inside the apartment. He must have known what I was talking about. I hear a pounding on the floor and I rush back inside.

When I open the door, I see Harry's fist repeatedly hitting Liam's face.

Liam did deserve this, but I couldn't let Harry do this to him. I walk over to Harry and grab his arm.

"Caly, go away. Let me finish this," Harry said.

"If you don't stop now, you're gonna kill him."

"Isn't that what I promised you? I said when I find out who the guy is, I'm going to kill him. He deserves this. He did something terrible to you and probably so many more people," Harry said.

"I don't want you to get in trouble. I need you," I said looking straight into Harry's eyes.

His face turned towards Liam. Harry grabbed his collar and pulled Liam so he was inches away from Harry.

"You ever come near Caly or I ever again, and I will finish this. You will be dead. Do you understand?" Harry asked Liam.

Liam shook his head in fear. Harry really did know how to do this, be scary.

He let Liam fall to the ground and told him not to get up. Harry took my hand and walked me into his room. Harry's room was so organized compared to the rest of the apartment.

He went in his closet and took out a suitcase. He started putting every single piece of clothing in it. Every item in this little apartment went in this suitcase.

When he was finished packing, he took my hand once more and we made our way to the door. Liam was still on the ground like Harry had instructed. We exited the apartment in silence. The elevator ride was the same. We got in Harry's car and the world seemed to stop.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked me.

"No. You're not going back there, right?" I asked.

"No, not after what he did," he said taking my face in his hands.

"I was just starting to feel better. I was feeling so good. I thought life was looking up for me, but-"

"Please, Caly, don't let this get in the way of the progress you've made. I remember when you couldn't even get out of your bed. You're finally better. Please don't go back," Harry pleaded.

I thought about it. I was feeling so much better with Harry. I didn't even feel the need to be depressed over this. I found the person who sexually assaulted me, but that doesn't change how I feel. I'm perfectly fine.

"It isn't. This doesn't change anything. I was in shock, yes, but I'm fine now. I know that he's never going to come near me again. Thank you, Harry."

"Anything for you, love."

"Where are you going to go now? You could always come to my place," I suggest.

"It's a bit too early for us to be moving in together, don't you think?" he laughed. "Can I stay with you until I find a flat?" Harry asked.

"Of course," I said leaning in to kiss him.

Harry stayed over some nights, but this felt different. Harry was going to be living with me for a couple nights. I kind of wanted him to move in. I felt lonely living in that apartment all alone.

Harry smiled and broke away from the kiss. His hand fell to its usual spot and he drove off.

"You know, we only came here for some food. Why don't we go get something to eat?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I'd like that." I said

Harry turned the radio up because he knew I liked it kind of loud in the car. I liked so much how he knew me so well.

"Harry?"

"Yes, love?"

"You know, I haven't hung out with Louis, Madison, and Niall in a while. If it's okay with you, I would love to invite them to lunch with us?" I asked.

"Caly, you know they all hate me."

"No, they don't! Madison has not met you yet. What you did was stupid, but Niall and Louis don't hate you. Please, Harry?" I asked once more.

Harry groaned, "Fine, but don't expect me to talk to them. You better be glad that I lo- like you."

I thanked Harry and texted all of them. We had a group chat for the four of us, so it would be easier for us to text one another.

Hey guys. Harry and I are going to lunch and I was wondering if you guys want to come? -Caly

-

I'm coming! I need to meet the boy my best friend has been dating! -Madison

-

I'll come. I'll pick you up, Madison. -Niall

-

I'm just waiting on Louis. I really hope he says yes. Harry and Louis need to make up. I decide to text Louis separately.

Hey Louis. I know you don't want to come to lunch with Harry and I, but please come for me. I want my boyfriend and my best friend to get along, or at least be able to have a decent conversation. I would really really like if you would come. -Caly

-

Fine, Caly. You owe me. -Louis

-

I smile at my phone.

"Everyone's coming, Harry. Please be nice," I ask.

"Anything for you."

I text everyone where we are going and tell them we are going to be there soon.

I just really hope everything goes well.
