The Boxer

Chapter 38

A/N: Dedication: Your planet joke was pretty funny, never heard that one before haha. 
My apologies for that AWFUL cliffhanger last chapter,  the new update would have been up yesterday but the chapter got deleted -.- 
To those confused:
Harry&Cryssy can drink because the people around(Sawyer,Zack & Lynn) them are all 21 or older so bartenders just presume Harry and Cryssy are also of age. They are also in Florida because of the Vacation they are taking if you don't remember, Harry was just white girl wasted a lost all recollection of that time. Cool? Cool. :)



Harry's P.O.V.

America...not the U.K.

My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as I tried to recall what happened, my mind settling on the image of Cryssy's face when I told her I loved her. "Fuck!" Lynn's face became a mask of fake innocence as I glared at her. "Where's Cryssy?"

"Who? Harry, your delusional!"

"No I'm not! I want my fucking girlfriend back" I snapped angrily, feeling myself sober up as my anger boiled.

"Harry-"

"No! Fuck this and Fuck you" I growled angrily. I turned on the balls of my feet and walked down the street, ignoring the sound of Lynn yelling after me. I was becoming increasingly more aware of how much I disliked her after we broke up and for good reason. She did shit like this, going home with guys and acting like it was nothing even when she was dating me. How I ever loved her I'll never know. The vulnerability of my early years made me sick as I hailed a cab and told him the address of the bar I'm sure I came from. 

The fifteen minutes there was completely agonizing. I couldn't call Cryssy because her phone was at the hotel so thoughts of what might have happened to her consumed me like wildfire. Nothing about those thoughts were good.How come she never came back from the bathrooms? How did I not notice? God I'm fucking stupid. All I wanted to do was punch something, and hard. 

The cab rolled up to the curb and i was quick to jump out and run inside but there was absolutely no sign of my happiness there. She was gone, with who I don't know but it was my fault and I felt sick. I lost her...


Cryssy's P.O.V.

I was terrified to open my eyes. To find i might have done something really bad with Sawyer last night. I lost all memory after we got into the car last night. I peeked out from behind my lashes to find Sawyer fast asleep and snoring. Luckily I was still fully clothed. I prayed no one in the house was awake as I crept out of the bed and into the hall. I walked down the steps slowly, suddenly catching a voice in the next room. My heart dropped as recognition hit. 

Peeking around the corner I saw Minnie and Nico at the dining room table eating cheerios. What was he doing here? Amongst my many thoughts Minnie caught sight of me and covered her face with her hands. I gasped and hid again, hoping he didn't hear me. God I'm so stupid. My heart hammered hard in my chest as Nico began to speak. 

"Zack and Sawyer won't be up till noon, you have nothing to worry about right now Cryssy" he said. 

"How am I supposed to trust you if you live here with them?" I asked shakily, keeping my body hidden behind the wall as if it was a shield. 

"It's not my choice to stay here. I'm seventeen and they are my step-brothers. Since they are 21 I'm kinda stuck here for a year. Now will you come join me for breakfast? "

I cautiously stepped around the corner and approached the table, taking the seat farthest away from Nico. I couldn't trust him, what if he was just playing good cop bad cop wit sawyer and zack like in the movies?

Nico gave a weak smile and left the table, walking over to the kitchen and grabbing a bowl. I watched as he added cereal and milk to the bowl and put in a spoon before setting it in front of me and taking his seat again next to Minnie. "I hope you don't mind cheerios" he added lightly. I nodded shortly in thanks and we ate in silence. 

"I want to go home" I mumbled. I missed Harry. A lot. I didn't care what he did I just wanted him. I didn't feel safe here. I was vulnerable, we were both drunk. Relationships are about mistakes right? And becoming strong because of them...we could do that.. I hope.

"I'll drive you" 

"Really?" I expected Nico to want to stay out of this considering his step brothers definitely weren't the nicest people.

"Of course, your my friend." he replied, shoving cheerios into his mouth. "We are still friends right?" he asked, cheerios and all still piled in his mouth. I laughed and nodded. 

"As long as you get me out of here we can be best friends." I replied, he smiled and swallowed his load of food before looking at Minnie. 

"Ready to go?" he asked her. Minnie nodded, peaking out to stare over at me for a second before looking back at Nico and whispering into his ear. Nico nodded and muttered something back before smiling at me. "I know it dosen't seem like it but she thinks your really pretty" 

I smiled. "she's very pretty too" Minnie giggled and hopped down from her chair to hide beneath the table, I could hear her giggles as she walked around and suddenly popped up at my side and waved "Hi Minnie" she giggled again and ran back to Nico, hopping up into his arms, cute kid but very strange. I wondered if Harry and I would have a kid like that some day.

"Well we can go" he sighed. I didn't hide my excitement as I jumped up from the table and made a beeline for the front door. I didn't want to be stuck here any longer and that is definitely what would happen if Sawyer or Zack woke up. Nico led me to a black jeep and helped Minnie in while I took a seat in the passenger seat. I had this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach Sawyer would walk out of the house and drag me back in and never let me leave. But as Nico pulled out of the driveway and headed down the road the feeling slowly began to fade leaving my heart once again at a steady pace but that was over quickly as we made it too my hotel. What if Harry was there with that girl? Or not even there at all?

"good luck" Nico smiled

"Thanks, see you soon?" I asked, he nodded and held out a slip of paper. 

"My number, if you ever need help I've got your back. And hopefully my step-brothers wont try and kidnap you next time" he chuckled. I smiled and turned back to wave at Minnie who returned the favor. After taking a deep breath I exited the car and walked into the hotel. The receptionist smiled as I approached. 

"How may I help you?"

"Room key for 430c?" I asked 

"Name for the reservation?" she asked politely, tucking a strand of red hair behind her ear. 

"Styles" She nodded politely and grabbed a key from a drawer near her and handed it to me. 

"Have a nice stay" she smiled, I returned it but once I turned it dropped. A look of worry taking on my features as I walked down the hall and took the elevator before walking again. So much walking, hall after hall, passing doors and happy people. It was all so agonizing. 

When I finally made it I felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest. It was beating so fast you could mistake it for a train coming to hit me right here in the hall. I was as quiet as possible as I slid the card into the slot and cringed as it beeped and lit up green. The room was completely quiet and I was worried Harry wasn't here but out somewhere with that girl...his ex apparently. 

I closed the door and creeped in further, making my way to the bedroom. I sighed when I saw Harry asleep on top of the sheets, fully clothed and breathing deeply. His arms were spread out wide as he lay on his back occasionally letting out a small snore. My cheeks felt wet as I took in the sight, something about being without him for the night and feeling so completely vulnerable around those guys made seeing Harry so wonderful. I was of course upset about his ex but that didn't matter as I took a seat on the edge of the bed and poked on of Harry's pale cheeks. Harry grunted and waved my hand off making me give a watery chuckle through the tears. The noise seemed to trigger something in him as he suddenly bolted upright and stared at me wide eyed. 

"Hey" I was definitely a mess. Tear stained cheeks and messy hair, wearing the same clothes as the day before. 

"Cryssy?" he mumbled. "Oh my god I'm so sorry. " he breathed, my body suddenly becoming flush against his as he held me in a hug and peppered kisses along the top of my head. "I can't believe I left you like that, I don't know what happened. I came back to the bar when I came too and you weren't there I was so worried" he ranted. I chuckled, my tears still falling freely, but they were happy tears. I just wanted Harry and now I had him. 

"Harry, it's fine you were wasted. I don't care." I sniffed. Harry pulled back and held my cheeks, brushing the tears away with his thumbs.

"Then why are you crying love?"

"Because Harry I missed you, I felt so alone" I was whimpering now, something about the whole experience triggered a never ending flow of tears. 

"I'm here, I'm here" he whispered. Harry pulled me back onto the bed and cradled me into his side, wiping away each tear as it fell. "Where were you last night?"

"I was with Sawyer and Zack...they got me wasted and brought me back to there place" 

"They WHAT?" I felt harry's skin heat instantly as he growled out those words. "Did they hurt you Cryssy?! I swear to god I'll-"

"Harry- It's fine, nothing happened" I soothed, grabbing his hands and holding them close to me until his fists began to relax.

"Fine" He sighed and pulled his arms around me again, resting his chin on the top of my head as I leaned into his side. 

"Harry can we go back?" I mumbled. "Please? I just want to go to our little island and never leave again. It's where I'm happy" I whispered, fiddling with one of Harry's long fingers. 

"Of course" I felt Harry's free hand brush through my hair before his lips made contact with my forehead. I closed my eyes as he moved them down to my mouth and placed a lingering kiss upon my lips. 

"So uhm, what happened when you left with that girl? Your ex I mean" I asked timidly. Harry sighed.

"We took a cab to her place and honestly I got really confused, I totally forgot we were in America and when I realized what was going on I came straight back to you. When you weren't at the bar I ended up searching half the city in a cab before coming here to check if you came home but you didn't. I honestly don't even remember falling asleep." 

"s-so nothing happened? With Lynn I mean." I mumbled.

"She uh, got a bit frisky in the back seat but nothing beyond Kissing" he informed me. I cringed. "babe?" I hummed in response, hiding my face in the nook of his neck instead. "I love you only." 

"I love you too" I mumbled against his neck, pressing a kiss to his soft skin as I fisted the fabric of his shirt. I never wanted to let him go.
