Not So Innocent, Harry Styles Fanfic

Chapter 25

My dad came running to the door.

We all ran into the house and locked the door.

I ran into Harry's long arms. I put my short arms around his waist and rested my head into his chest.

"I was so worried about you," I say, crying into his shoulder.

"I was even more worried about you." He said back.

I smiled.

"I love you Harry."

"I love you too."

My dad got on the phone with the police. The fear was real. I hadn't felt this scared for a long time. I was breaking for Harry. I was breaking, about, Harry.

All my emotions build up into something I couldn't explain.

"The cops are on their way." My dad says.

I nod.

"Okay," I say, sniffling.

My dad put his hand on my shoulder.

"Honey it will be okay. And so will you and Harry. I promise. The cops will do some investigating and get back to us." He said.

"How? It was over a phone call." I said.

"They're police. Don't worry it will all be over soon."

I sighed.

"As long as Harry's okay, I will feel even better."

(Austin's POV)

The whip hit my back as I screeched out in pain.

There were tears dropping from my eyes and I adjusted my head, as Maya held me down.

"Stop moving!" She yelled.

"No!" I shout back.

Ms. Hellman hit me me even harder.

"Don't talk back!" She said.

I cried.

I actually cried.

This feeling was awful. And I had no part in this yet I was getting abused and punished. I barely knew what was going on.

The pain flared into my veins.

"Why a-are you doing this t-to me!"

"Because you don't talk back!" Susan says.

I felt a power of strength build up inside me.

I pushed Maya to the wall and took the whip out of Ms. Hellman's hand.

I stepped back.

"Come one step closer to me. And you will be next." I said.

Everyone stepped back.

"A-Austin. Why don't you just uh...p-put the whip down and we will get back to business. O-okay," Susan said, using her hands for gestures.

"I will not!" I shout.

I ran out of my house and started down the road

I was running to the one person I needed to talk to most.

Ari.

(Harry's POV)

I was snuggled up on the couch with Ari.

Her heart was beating hard. I knew she was worried and scared. It hurts know that she was feeling that way.

I ran my fingers through her brown hair.

"It will be okay love. I will be okay." I said.

She sighed.

"Promise me something." She said.

Her voice was shaky.

Like she was about to cry.

"Promise not to let go?"

I knew exactly what she meant.

I didn't want to let go. She was the one that kept me holding on. She held myself up when I was feeling down. I couldn't let go.

"I will always be here. I promise."

We heard a knock on the door.

"I'll see who it is." She says.

She got up and looked through the peephole.

"Harry it's Austin he looks like he was just beaten up help me get him in!" She said.

I ran up to the door.

We opened it up and let him in.

"Oh my god what happened mate?" I said.

He took off his shirt and turned around.

I saw red marks. The looked like beat marks. Like he was getting beaten.

I noticed something in his left hand.

"Is that a whip?"

He nods.

"You know...your Aunt? T-the one who works at Wickendale Ari?" He stuttered out.

She nodded.

"You know Ms. Hellman?"

She nodded again.

"S-she beat me. She's a team with this M-Maya girl and my Aunt S-Susan."
