I felt a hand grab my thigh and then I felt a cloth over my mouth. I couldn’t breathe. I woke up naked; Tucker was lying on my chest. I tried to rip him off of me. “Where do you think you’re going?” He asked with his hand right at my throat. “please, I’m on my period just let me use the bathroom.” I said crying. He let go and I got up. I walked to the bathroom, wrapped in a sheet. I jumped out of the window. The rain came pouring down. I ran to the phone booth and called Harry, “Hello.” He said, his voice sounded so sweet. “Harry, please come to the phone booth at 20 Willow Creek Rd.” I said. “What’s wrong?” He asked. “Just come get me.” I said. “alright darling I will.” He said. I hung up and sat on the ground. Tears flooded my face. The phone booth had no roof. I was soaked in a cold sheet. I just decided to push it aside and just go naked. Either way I was still soaked. I heard Harry’s car coming. Once Harry saw me sitting there he jumped out of his car and ran over to me. He picked me up and put me in his car. He took off his jacket and gave it to me. I wrapped it around my naked body. He jumped into the car and pulled me close. “Anna, what’s this all about?” He asked. “Tucker. He raped me.” I said. “Oh Anna, I should’ve never left you. You needed protection. You still need it. This can’t happen again.” He said. “No it can’t please just don’t leave me. I need a best friend to get me through this.” I said. “I won’t leave you even if it means that you have to come and live with me.” He said. “Can I?” I asked. “Let’s go get your stuff. You can stay in my room.” He said. We drove away to my house. I was cuddled up with Harry. Once we got to my house I got out still wrapped in Harry’s jacket. Harry got my stuff packed while I put on my sweat pants and a jacket. All of my stuff was packed and put in the back of his car. We left for his house. I was stilled cuddled up in Harry’s arms. I never let go. Once we got to his house I let go and got out. He opened the door and I stepped in. It seemed a lot bigger than it looked. Harry got some of my bags and I helped him. He led me up the stairs to his bedroom. A big brown bed laid in the middle of the room. He smiled and then laid my bags underneath the bed. “Can I take a shower please?” I asked. “go for it straight down the hall.” He said. I smiled and pulled out a pair of underwear, a blue bra, a black tank top, and some hot pink shorts. I felt so violated. So tense. The shower helped a lot. I put on the clothes and walked back into the bedroom. Harry had the bed pulled back and a place on the floor for him. He was fast asleep.  I tiptoed to the bed and got on. The soft sheets smelt like cologne. I fell asleep fast. I woke up screaming. Harry jumped up. I began to cry. “Honey, calm down it’s ok.” He said hugging me. We laid back down together and I felt a lot safer and I immediately went to sleep. I woke up the next morning in Harry’s arms. I smiled and then I pushed his arm off me. “Anna, what are you doing?” He whispered. “Getting up and putting on some clothes.” I said. He pulled himself up. I put on my blue jeans and a T-shirt. I sat on the floor in front of the bed and Harry sat there too. “What’s wrong now Anna?” He asked. “Nothing I just need somebody that will always be there to protect me. Someone who is just never going to leave me. Sooner or later you’ll be going on tour and I won’t have anyone to protect me from Tucker.” I said. “Honey, you can come on tour with us. I promised you that I wouldn’t leave. This is me keeping my promise.” He said. I smiled. “We should go do something today. Maybe go get something to eat or something. I’m just really bored.” I said. “Well, let me get dressed and we will go to the Coke factory. If you don’t care.” He asked. “No I don’t mind; let’s go to the Coke factory.” He helped me up and I walked into the kitchen. I found a necklace that had my name on it written in wire. “Oh, I bought that for you while the band was on the X-Factor tour.” Harry said. “Oh, Harry that’s really sweet.” I said smiling.  He put it on me. I was so glad that I had a friend that really cared about me. I admitted that I really had feelings for him. I acted like nothing happened. Harry started to put on his clothes. I just sat on the couch, watching Alien vs Predator. I was scared to death. I never heard Harry come down the steps. He hid behind the couch. “Boo.” He whispered. I jumped up and screamed. “Harry, you jerk. How could you!” I screamed at him. He laughed and said, “I got you good though didn’t I?” He asked. I gave him the death stare. “Just sit here while I go put on my makeup.” I said. Harry blocked my way. “No, you don’t need the makeup and I won’t let you through.” He said. I smiled and slipped underneath his legs. I jumped up and ran into the bathroom. I shut the door and locked the door behind me. “Anna! You open this door right now. You’re beautiful you don’t need the makeup.” Harry yelled. “I’m putting on some eyes shadow, some blush, a little eyeliner, not much!” I yelled the door opened. “You know I have keys for all the doors right.” He said holding up a key.
