My Protector

Chapter 42

"Good morning Claire Bear. I made breakfast." I woke up to Harry's voice.

Thank god it's Saturday. No work for me.

I got up and went straight to the bathroom to wee. I quickly washed my hands and went to the kitchen to fix a plate.

After I ate I went to the couch to sit beside Harry. We sat in complete silence.

"What are we?" Harry broke the silence.

"What do you mean?"

"Are we just friends or more?" He stuttered.

"I don't know." I looked down at my hands.

"I understand." He frowned.

"Can you take me to Niall's?" I got up.

He sighed, "Sure, let me get my keys." He disappeared into the bedroom as I followed him, remembering I need to get some clothes on. I walked in as he was putting his boots on. I put sweatpants over my shorts and a T-shirt on. Walking over to the nightstand, I grabbed my phone, sliding it into my pocket.

I walked out of the house to already see Harry in the car waiting for me. I raced to my side, getting in and putting my seatbelt on.

It was an awkward silence the whole ride to Niall's. Harry pulled into the driveway and turned the car off, just sitting there with his head on the steering wheel.

I began to rub his back, "What's wrong?"

"All of this shit would of never happened if I just stayed home that day."

I sighed, deciding not to respond. He finally sat back up, but looked out of the window.

"Bye Harry." I hugged him and got out of the car, not looking back because I would just break down.

"Hey Niall." I smiled at him as I walked in.

"Hey Claire." He said as I sat down beside him and laid my head on his shoulder.

"I'm confused."

"Is this about Harry?" He questioned.

"Yes. I don't know if I should forgive him."

"Follow your heart Claire Bear."

"I'm going to go to my room and think about this." I got up and walked upstairs. Walking into my room, I shut the door and laid back on my bed. I got out my notebook and pen and began.

Harry,

I've realised that I honestly cannot live without

you. We've both made our own mistakes and we

learn from them. You've really changed my life.

I could be getting abused by my dad right now

if you didn't find me. You mean so much to me

and I really do love you. Forever and always.

Love,

Claire Serenity

Later on..........

Getting out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and one for my hair. I brushed my teeth and then walked back to my room. I put on a bra and underwear and took down my towel from my head. Brushing out my hair, I scrunched it and put it back in bobby pins. I put on a pair of skinny jeans and a floral sweater. I applied makeup and then slipped my Toms on. Quickly putting my phone in my back pocket, I walked out of the room and down the stairs. Here goes nothing.

"Where are you going all dressed up?" Niall questioned as I approached the front door. I turned around to see him standing in front of me, "I need to do something."

"Like what?"

"I'm going to Harry's." I fiddled around with the letter in my pocket.

"Oh." He frowned, looking down, "So you're forgiving him?"

I nodded, "Do you think I should?"

"Whatever's best for you Claire. Follow your heart." He said the same thing he did hours ago. Walking closer to him, I gave him a hug.

"Thank you for being here for me." I said into his chest.

"Do you need a ride?"

"I'm going to walk." I ended the hug and opened the door.

"Bye Niall." I smiled, and walked out.

Walking to the front door, I nervously knocked. I heard footsteps walking toward the door. My heart raced as the door opened.

"Claire?" He asked.

I smiled, "Yes. It's me."

"Is everything okay?" He asked as I walked into the living room with him.

"Yes." I simply answered.

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks." I blushed. I got out the letter that was in my pocket.

"What's that?"

"Something I want you to read. I couldn't say it so I wrote it." I handed Harry the letter. I watched his mouth move as he quietly read it. He looked up from the letter and smiled at me.

"I love you." He said, walking over to me. He sat down beside me, attacking me with a kiss.

"I missed being here." I rested my head on his chest.

"I missed you being here." He chuckled.

"Can we go to bed?" I yawned, getting up.

He got up too, stretching, "Yeah, I'm tired."

We walked to the bedroom and I went straight to my closet, getting out my clothes and putting on a tank-top and shorts. Harry whistled and I quickly turned around to see him in bed eyeing me. Getting into the covers, I slightly punched him on the bicep.

I giggled, "Goodnight Harry." I turned to face him, propping myself up with my arm.

"You mean so much to me Claire." I turned out the light and laid close to him.

"You mean more to me. " I laid my head on his chest.

"That cannot be possible."

"We'll it's not impossible."

He laughed, "I'm glad your'e here. I don't think I would of survived another night without you."

"I don't think I would've either to be honest."

There was a long pause.

"Goodnight Claire. I love you." He whispered.

"Forever and always?"

"I will love you forever and always."

"Promise?" I looked up at him.

"I promise." He kissed my forehead.

He means the world to me.

He is my protector.
