Persecute

Harry's POV

Zayn gave me one more look before he opened Keona's bedroom door.

"Keona!" Zayn exclaimed.

I followed Zayn into her bedroom- and my heart dropped. Keona was lying on the ground of her bedroom, covered in bruises.

"What the hell did he do to you?!" Zayn rushed to her side.

She couldn't talk- only could choke out harsh noises. Other than the fact that she barely had any clothes on. Only a large sweater that went as far down to her knees. Zayn clenched his jaw and grabbed her a pair of sweatpants from her dresser. He gently put them on her- then he turned to me.

"Harry- help me lift her up." He said.

"Where are we going to take her?"

"Away from here." He growled.

"My mom took Gemma out for the weekend- she can stay at my place." I offered.

About three days ago- I would've been repulsed by the idea. But now I know that Keona is a life in need of saving. And I want to be the one to save her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You sure you got her Harry?" Zayn asked me once we parked in front of my house.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"And that this is no prank." He narrowed his eyes.

"Zayn- I promise It's not a prank."

I opened the back door to Zayn's car and unbuckled Keona. I picked her up bridal style, waved to Zayn, and helped her inside.

"...what are you doing H-Harry?" She managed to whisper harshly.

"I'm sorry this happened to you, Keona." I whispered, carrying her upstairs to my bedroom.

She just dug closer into my chest. I set her down on my bed and shut my door.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I sat next to her.

"H-He beat me a-again.. after he r-raped me." She whispered, looking into the distance.

I gently laid her head on my shoulder, "Let it out Keona.."

She turned her body towards mine and rested her head in the crook of my neck as she began to cry. I rubbed her back as she cried. I just want to beat up this bastard so badly. I mean- who could to that to a girl? That's just fucking wrong and-

"Harry?" My dad's voice rang through the house.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath.

"You here?" He called.

I heard him walk up the stairs- then my door swung open. He looked at me, then Keona, then back to me. His mouth opened, then closed, then opened again-making no sound. I could feel Keona start to fall asleep, so I gently laid her down and covered her up.

I quietly met my dad in the hallway and shut my door.

"Start explaining her." He tapped his foot impatiently.

"She is just having some... home troubles. I'm just helping a friend out." I surrendered.

"That better be all that is happening, Harold." Her stuck his finger in my face.

"My name's not Harold." I muttered.

"What was that?"

"I said my name's not Harold." I growled, "It's Harry."

He rolled his eyes and pushed passed me, walking down the stairs.

That bastard.

(The Next Day)

"Hey Keona?" I rubbed her arm gently.

She turned so she could face me as we lied down in my bed.


"Mhm?"

"We should get out of this bed today- there's a small beach party tonight." I suggested.

She sighed, "I don't know Harry- sounds like a lot of fun but have you forgotten I'm hated?"

"How about we go for a few minutes- and if you still wanna go, we'll go."

"Okay, fine." She smiled lightly, "But I need to change into different clothes."

"What about your foster dad?" I squeaked.

"He took his wife for a weekend lake trip." She whispered.

"Well then let's go!" I exclaimed.

Keona's POV

"Wait right here." I said to Harry, pointing to my bed.

"Yes mom." He gave me a half smile.

I lightly smacked his chest and grabbed a pair of jeans, a sweater, and sandals. I locked myself in my bathroom so Harry wouldn't see me naked- or my cuts. It makes me nervous that he might see them- I don't want him to. What if he stops caring? What if he leaves me?

I sighed and put on the new outfit- then I did a bun and some makeup so I don't look like I just threw an outfit together. Even though that is exactly what happened.



"You look cute." Harry complimented as I walked outside of my bathroom

I felt blood rush to my cheeks and I hid my face in my hair.

"Let's go." He wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

Me and Harry got in his car- and I already felt sick. I could feel my hands go pale- and Harry took notice.

"Babe," He started, "don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you. At least try it out for ten minutes."

"O-okay.." I whispered.

The sun begun to set- and I saw a bonfire in the distance. I could now hear the rolling of the beach waves, and I slouched in my seat. Harry parked and I hesitantly got out. He entwined our fingers and gave me a reassuring smile before we walked over to the bonfire. As soon as people saw me- they started whispering.

"What did she do to Harry?!?"

"She probably black mailed him."

"I heard that she once broke the bed because she was so fat."

"Poor Harry... I really feel bad for the guy."

"God- my eyes hurt from just looking at her."

I let the tears flow down my cheeks freely- whipping around and running away from Harry.

"Keona! Wait!" He called.

I kept walking along the shore as tears burned my cheeks. My wrists itched like crazy- and it was driving me nuts.

"Keona! Wait up!" Harry ran up next to me, "Look- I'm sorry about them."

"Just drop it Harry." I said.

It was silent for a while- until Harry chose to break it.

"Why're you wearing a sweater?"

"I.. I uh- I g-get c-cold easily." I shut my eyes- hoping he'd believe it.

"Oh." He said.

I slumped my shoulders and continued to walk next to Harry. After a while of silence, he let out a gasp- as if something clicked in his head.

Shit- now I'm terrified.

"Th-the rumors... The b-bandages... l-long sleeves..." He trailed off.

He reached for my arm but I held it close to my chest. He looked deep into my eyes, pleading for me to let him see. He reached again but I backed up. I tripped and fell backwards- landing on the soft sand. Harry took that to his advantage and rolled up my sleeves- revealing my cuts.
