Harry POV

I stopped humming when I noticed Riley was fully asleep. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. There's really no words to describe her. I'm glad she's in my arms again like this. Even though last night was an accident this night she asked me to be with her. When she asked me to sleep with her my whole body lit up. My insides felt so warm. She probably was surprised that I could translate her words, she was talking so fast. My sister use to talk so fast when she was younger. I warmed up to her foreign language so I guess I can say I speak girl.

My thoughts were interrupted by Riley shaking and moaning. Her eyes were still close but her face looked of utter fright. She must be having one of her nightmares. I held her tight and close to my body.

"Baby, baby, baby. I'm right here. It's okay Jake is gone he won't get you. It's me Harry I'm here. Ssshhh, It's not real." I whispered these things to her while rocking her back and forth. After a
moment of trying to comfort her she finally calmed down and went back to her relaxed slumber. I'm glad I can be her medicine, the one who can cure her. I rested me head besides her and looked at this amazing girl. My eyes started to grow heavy and I fell asleep.

I woke up around dawn when the sun was rising. I wanted to wake up early because I didn't want the gang to know I was up in Riley's room. It would be embarrassing for her. I don't want her being bombarded with questions. I don't want the guys knowing what she went through, she's been through enough. I rummaged around Mr. Ribbons dresser trying to find a shirt to wear downstairs, so no one would wonder why I'm shirtless.

Since I was up I decided to make breakfast for everyone. Nial's told me I'm a good chef so why not make food for them all. I made pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. Of course Nial was the first to wake up. If that boy smells food he'll be up in a giffy and be the first to grab a plate.

A few moments later the rest of the lads walk in. They all say thank you. I'm glad that everyone forgot about last nights debacle. I looked around for Riley but I didn't see her. I told the gang I'll be right back. I walked upstairs and knocked on her door. No answer. I knocked again, still no answer. I'm starting to get impatient. I decided to walk in on her. She changed into denim shorts with studs on the pockets but she still wore my shirt. I smiled on the inside knowing that she still wanted to wear my shirt instead of change into another.

"Hey I called for you. I made breakfast, it's on the table."

"I'm not hungry."

She covered her stomach quickly because it growled after she made her comment.


"Are you sure you're not hungry. Your stomach just made pterodactyl noise," I chuckled.

"I don't want to be sneaky."

Okay she's got me confused. I sat on her bed beside her. "What do you mean Riley?"

"Only you and Juliet know what happened to me. I don't want to be sneaking around asking you to sleep with me because Jake took advantage of me. I don't want to keep all of this inside. It hurts me even more having this as a secret. I don't want you to be lying to your friends as well. I'm one for not having secrets and I don't want to break that."

"It's your decision to make Riley and I'm okay if you tell them or not. I'll support what ever you do."

She stood up and walked to her door opening it up. "You know Harry, you're a good person, people misunderstand you. And I think I like you."


"Really you like me?" She has me all excited.

"I mean starting to like you, I mean I like you but wait ugh!"

I laughed at her. "It's okay babe every girl eventually likes me."

"Don't get excited Styles," she's testing me since she has her smirk plastered on her face.

"Why can't I be excited? You like me and you know it!"

"No I don't!" Whoa what a complete lie.

"Yes you do and I and I can prove it." Why did I just say that? I don't have any proof.

"Proof? Like what?"

"Well, I don't actually have it yet but I will, just wait and see." I showed off my pearly white teeth and she scoffed at me. I passed her by the door and walked downstairs. I grabbed myself a plate as did Riley. We all sat in silence. All you could hear were forks rubbing against plates. Zayn was the first to speak.

"Riley why are you wearing Harry's shirt?"

All eyes were on Riley.

"Ummm, Harry gave it to me to wear last night. I had a nightmare last night and I woke up all sweaty and I didn't have another shirt to wear so he gave me his." Everyone's eyes were still on her, wanting to hear the rest of the story. I rested my hand on her knee and gave a a light squeeze. I could feel goosebumps emerge from her skin. She decided to tell the gang all that happened to her, the club, Jake, me rescuing her, her bathroom incident at school, and last night. It was crazy the reaction she got from everyone. Perrie and Eleanor were crying, and I think even Nial got a bit teary eyed. The rest of the lads faces were pale and had sorrow written all over their faces. Louis was the first to stand up and give Riley a hug. He was followed by Liam, Zayn, Nial, and the girls.

I walked out of the room leaving them in their tight embrace. I went on my phone looking back at the text message I got last night when Riley walked in. It was from Jake.

From Jake:
Hi Harry :) How's my favorite girl doing?

His text makes my blood boil. The thought of his hands on her makes me sick, and him calling her his 'favorite girl.' This dumb bastard.

To Jake:
She's none of your business so back off Jake.

From Jake:
Oh she is officially my business. You made a huge mistake with messing with me Styles. Riley is now my number one priority.

To Jake:
What are you talking about?

From Jake:
I'm coming for her Styles… I'm going to hit you where it hurts.

I didn't even respond back to that. He won't get to her, I won't let that happen. I walked back into the kitchen. Everyone has smiles on their faces but I have to talk to the guys. I tried my best to stay calm.

"Guys we have to go."

"But Harry we're having fun! Juliet is telling embarrassing stories about…"

"Louis I don't give a shit! We have to go now it's for work!"

Everyone grew silent.They all starred at my hand. I didn't even feel the pain. I fisted my hands too much that my keys cut into my palm making them bleed. Blood was trickling down my hand onto the carpet. I was so furious I stormed off and slammed the front door. I was pacing on the lawn pulling my hair. What the hell! I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see a concern Liam, the gang was behind him.

"What's up mate?"

"It's Jake. He wants her. You know what we have to do." The boys nod their heads and hop into
Liam's car. We sped off towards the warehouse. Jake's a tricky guy so we have to figure a smart way to take him down. We're almost to the warehouse when my phone goes off.

From Jake:
Looks like Riley Shawn is heading her way to the mall. Lucky me I have some men there shopping for a girl who looks exactly like her! Coincidence? I think not.

What? How does he know this?

"No, no, no!"

"What's up Harry?"

"Drop me off here I have to race to the mall."

"Why?"

"Just do it Liam!"

We came to a halt and I jumped out of the car and started running. I was sprinting as fast as I could this would be a lot easier with a car but they gang has to get to the warehouse where all of our gear is. Nothing can stop me from getting me to that mall, to my Riley.

---

Well I'm at the mall but I have no idea what store she's in. I was panicking, people gave me the craziest of looks. Okay, she's a girl. Where do girls go to shop? Well she's probably with Juliet so Victoria Secrets, it's a given. I sprinted my way there passing by people, even shoving a few. I then saw Juliet holding Riley's hand trying to pull her into Victorias Secret.

Riley POV

"Juliet I don't want to go in there," I whined.

"Riley just shut up and come in. You need some matching, sexy underwear."

"Why? I have perfectly fine under garments."

"I know what Harry likes."

"And what do I like?"

"What are you doing here Harry?" Juliet gave Harry a nasty look.

"Yeah you had a pretty bad attitude when we saw you last," I spoke up

"Well it's over with. Now can't I just enjoy a shopping spree with my favorite girls in my favorite store?" Harry wrapped an arm around both of us leading us into the store. I'm already awkward with this stuff and now it's going to be worse with a boy in here, especially Harry. I walked over to the clothing section, I don't want to be picking out undies in front of Harry.

Harry came up from behind me with a bag full of bras, and cheekies.

"Here try these on Riley."


"Ha! In your dreams."

"Can't blame a boy for trying."

I kept looking through shirts and finally talked.

"Now it's my turn to ask you why you're sweating."

"You make me nervous." he gave me a weak smile. He's not very convincing.

"I'm not stupid Harry."

"I can't tell you."

"Why's that?"

"Because it's for your own good."

I didn't want to play this game with him. I'm sure I'll say something to make him yell and I don't want to cause a scene. I rolled my eyes at him instead. "Ha, very mature Riley." I didn't say anything. If someone's being immature it's him. I walked out of the store and waited until Juliet was done. Harry came out with me but kept his distance. After ten minutes he rushed over to me.

"We have to go Riley." He's all tense.

"What's your problem?"

"You are if you don't leave with me." His jaw is tensing and it's quite attractive but besides that why do I have to go with him, what's so important?

"I'm not going, Juliet is still in the store."

"Riley Elizabeth Shawn!"

"Harry Edward Styles!" Two can play this game.

"If you won't leave with me then I'll kidnap you."

Before I could respond he lifted me off my feet and put me over his shoulders. I started hitting him on the back.

"What the hell Harry!? This is completely foolish, let me be!" He wasn't listening to me, it was like I wasn't even there. I started screaming for Juliet but Harry kept telling me to be quite or I'll have to pay with the consequences. I shut my mouth, but I kept kicking and punching. Harry wasn't even fazed by all of this. I looked around to see if anyone in the mall was going to help me but no. They all gave me sympathetic looks are looks of horror since I'm with Harry Styles, gang leader.

He tugged me to his car and put me in the passengers seat locking the door. I tried the lever but the door wasn't opening. Harry put the keys in the ignition lighting the car up. "Riley stop being a girl, quit your complaining." Quit my complaining!? I have a good reason to be doing so. You fucking kidnapped me you crazy person! I'm so upset that I couldn't even talk. I would be yelling and screaming at him to the point where my words would get all jumbled up. This day has been so unbelievable.

---

We make it to his place. He lives in the guest house away from his mother and sister Gemma. I found that a bit strange. I would love to still be living in a house with my parents, why wouldn't he? He led me inside his door. He set down his phone and keys. Harry turned around to face me. I stared at him for one good minute and made my way toward him. I balled up my fist and started hitting him on his chest. "What the hell! I'm so mad at you Harry! You can't just do that to people!"

"Fine be mad."

"I will." I was still hitting him but he didn't even feel any pain it was obvious because his face didn't show any emotion. He grabbed my wrists and pulled me to his room. He locked the door behind him. His room is surprisingly clean for a boy. His walls are dark blue, with some light blue lines coming down the walls. He has posters of bands like Mayday Parade, Nirvana, Elvis, Sleeping With Sirens, and plenty more posted on one wall. In one corner there's a desk that looks empty. It's probably where he's suppose to do his homework. In another corner there's a keyboard. I didn't know he could play. And then there's his bed. It's huge, four people could probably sleep in it. I wonder how many girls he's slept with.

"Riley you're staying with me for the night."

"Nope not happening my friend."

"It is to happening, my friend."

"I'm not staying with you who happened to kidnap me by the way!"

"I'm the only one who can help you sleep so like it or not you're staying Riley!"

Him bringing up the fact that he is the only person that can put me to sleep got me to shut up. I walked over to his bed and sat myself down. I put my head in my hands. He makes my head so dizzy, I don't know what to do.

"You're still wearing my shirt I see."

"So?"

"So? I need it back."

"I'll wash it later," still having my head in my hands.

"I want it back now."

I looked up at him only to see he no longer has a shirt on. I gulped. "I don't have anything to change into so no thank you."

"Riley Elizabeth Shawn."

"Harry you can use that on me other times but this time it's a clear no."

Harry looked taken aback. Like he was defeated. He walked right in front of me, towering over. He took my wrist, putting them above my hand and shoving me onto the bed. He was now on top of me growling in me ear. "My house my rules. My shirt my rules." Harry took his left hand put it at the hem of my shirt. The whole time I was starring into his emerald eyes. He started gliding his hand under my shirt. He stopped until he got to the wire of my bra.

"You're so innocent Riley. I love it so much."

"You're so creepy Harry. I hate it so much."

He rolled his eyes at me and lifted himself off of my body. He has so many different sides of himself. 'I support your decision,' 'I'm going to kidnap you,' 'take your shirt off.' Like come on dude! I have a feeling the rest of this day will be absolute bonkers.
