Running Into Danger

Harry POV
"Three shots please." I turn my head to check to see how Riley was doing but I didn't see her, or Jake. They must be on the dance floor. The bartender gave me my drinks and I walked back to the table. I set the shots down and sat down. I started to scan the floor for Riley but I couldn't find her. I'm walking through the crowd of people dancing trying to see if she's in the middle of the crowd. I spot the girls but she isn't there.

"Hello handsome and who might you be?"

A blonde girl is starring up at me trying to give me a sexy smirk but it isn't working. Well it would have worked if I wasn't so busy trying to find Riley.

"Hi, I'm Harry." I wasn't paying attention to her, my head is turning in all directions trying to find Riley.

She starts grinding her ass all over me. I take a step back. She stands up a little mad that I rejected her.

"What!? Am I not good enough like goody goody that was over there?

"You saw that girl?

"Yeah some other guy took her arm and yanked her out the exit. Now it's just you and me."

She put her ass back on me but I lightly shoved her away. I'm trying to make my way out of the crowd. Gosh why does there have to be so many damn people on the floor!? This isn't even a good song!

I get off the dance floor and run towards the exit but there is a guy standing in my way. I don't hesitate to shove him out of my way. He's quick to grab my wrist though. He pushes my up against the wall calling me a fucker with his face inches from mine. I can smell the alcohol on his breath and some garlic. He can take a breath mint. It was too dark in the back of the club that he couldn't get a clear image of my face. And if he did, he would back off. Everyone knows who I am and what I'm capable of doing. I kicked him in the shin and he falls down giving me a chance to knee him in the face. There's blood running out of his nose and the bridge of it looks crooked. I turn my attention back to the door.

I swing the door open with good force and i hear "No one is here darling," I couldn't believe he would do this. Jake, one of my best mates. He was hurting my girl. Only I can touch her, love her, have her. She was in so much pain, it hurt me to watch. Riley looked at me trying to say my name. Her cheeks were stained with mascara, her eyes bloodshot, her legs were shaking, she was getting weak. This made me furious. No, there is no word to describe how I was feeling.

"I am here Jake."

He looks at me with an evil smile. He slams his fingers into Riley one more to and I ball my fist, my knuckles turning white. RIley collapses to the ground and I run to her, holding her small body in my arms. She's passed out. I know she can't hear me but I whisper in her ear, "I am so sorry love. I shouldn't have left. I'm so sorry." A shadow stands over Riley and I. I look up to see Jake taking his two fingers up to his mouth and sucking on them.

"Mmmm… She sure is tasty," he laughs.

I tackle him to the ground, throwing punch after punch. His eye is already starting to swell up.

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? MESSING WITH MY GIRL! SHE'S MINE! DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING TOUCH HER, TALK TO HER, BREATHE ON HER OR COME NEAR HER YOU PRICK!"

I take his hair and start banging his head on the concrete. Blood is smeared all over his face. I look over my shoulder to see my Riley. She has never seen me in this state but I can just imagine her yelling to stop and trying to yank me away from Jake even though he touched her. I let go of Jake for her. I stand to my feet and watch him cough up blood. He wipes his mouth and bloody nose. "Understand ass hole? Stay away." I kick him in the stomach and walk back to Riley.

I smooth out her hair. My eyes trail up and down her body. I get up to her mid thigh and I see blood trickling down. He popped her cherry. I know that sounds weird to say but he did. I always knew she was a virgin. My innocent girl. I am so sorry. I take my sleeve and wipe her leg down. I pick her up carrying her bridal style. I set her in my car trying to make her as comfortable as possible. I close her door and run to the drivers side. I want to take her back to mine but when she wakes up she'll be spooked that she's at my place. I want her with me so I can protect her but it'll be a lot to take in for her, since what just happened to her. Driving into town I decide to take her back to her house.

I pull into her driveway and take her keys from her clutch and unlock the front door with Riley in my arms. The house is dark, everyone must be asleep. I carry her up the stairs and into her room. I lay her on her bed. I remove her heels and earrings. I know Riley wouldn't want me seeing her only in her under garnets but I want to make her feel comfy. I pull the dress over her head. She looks so beautiful. I walk to her dresser trying to find her pajama drawer. I pull out the pajama I saw her in the night I followed her home. I dress her in her pinky footy pajamas. I slip her under the silk covers. I sat on her desk chair and watch her sleep for half an hour. I'm paranoid that someone will come snatch her from me. I'm scared if she'll have a nightmare and I won't be there to sooth her. I put all those thoughts in the back of my mind and bend down to her.

I kiss her forehead on my way out. "Good night, don't let the bed bugs bite." And with that I close her bedroom door.
