Chapter Nine

Harry’s POV

It killed me. It literally killed me to sit there and watch her while she told me about what happened to her. I wanted to find him a beat the shit out of him. I wanted him to pay. In court they didn’t have enough evidence to convict. Some of Darren’s low life friends back at the party covered his ass. I wanted to find him. My body craved a fight with this asshole. He brought her so far down that she didn’t want to live and I wanted more than anything to bring her all the way back up again, to save her.

Nothing happened between us that night. I didn’t kiss her because she was so shaken up. When I dropped her off, all I did was pull her into a long hug and tell her goodnight. I asked if she wanted a ride to school Monday but she said that Marshall was picking her up. That kind of pissed me off but I tried to just let it go for now. Addie and I weren’t together in that way so really I had no choice but to let her pick her own friends.

“Okay but I will see you at school though, right?”

“Yes.”

I nodded and got back into my truck, not leaving until she was safe inside. For the rest of the night, I couldn’t sleep. The story kept running over and over again through my brain. I couldn’t even think straight. Addie had become my best friend and now she was something more. I couldn’t just ignore what had happened to her. I cared about this girl and knowing that somebody stole her innocence away, killed me. Addie was a virgin, a fucking virgin and that prick just took it from her. I won’t ever be able to forget that. I really didn’t even want her to be alone if I could help it. Something made me want to be around her all the time. After a moment, my phone beeped.

Addie: You’re probably not awake, are you?

Me: You’re in luck.

Addie: I’m sorry about tonight. I didn’t mean to ruin our time.

Me: You didn’t. Can I call you?

Addie: Sure.

I didn’t waste any time. I quickly dialed her number and she answered on the first ring.

“Hey.” I said before she really even answered.

“Hey.” She replied in a low voice.

I could hear her breathing and I had the urge to be with her so that I could hold her hand. I liked having her hand in mine.

“You couldn’t sleep either?” she asked.

“No, not a chance. I was just thinking about…”

“I know.” She interrupted.
