Sorry for the LATE update! School was ending soon, so it was REALLY hectic. Also, my mom blocked Wattpad on the computer. Like I can’t go on Wattpad on this computer. I have to use the desktop that is sooooooo slow, but it’s better than nothing! BTW, Happy Summer to all!

            My alarm blared at 6:00 in the morning, breaking the peaceful silence of my room. I groaned from underneath the covers and covered my head with my pillow, trying to block out the annoying shrill ringing. The shrillness reminded me of Beatrice and Rebec—

            I bolted straight up in my bed and looked around frantically. My alarm meant only one thing, school. I sighed deeply and thought about all the things that could go wrong today. Let’s see, bullying, the queen b*tches tell the whole school about my cutting and anorexic habits, bullying, getting shoved into garbage cans and lockers, more bullying. What a great day today is going to be! Not.

            “Chelsea, turn that god damn alarm off! I can’t sleep!” Louis yelled from somewhere in the house.

            His screaming brought me back to reality, making me sigh again. I smashed my fist down on the alarm, shutting it off and engulfing the house in silence once again. I heard Louis sigh in contentment and the loud snores resumed again.

            I pulled the blankets off me and stepped onto the plush carpet. I wriggled my toes between the fine strands and just sat out in the cold air for a few minutes. The air was colder than normally. Usually, it would be at least 69 to 71 degrees. Now it seemed 50 degrees or less! What the heck? I stood up from the bed and walked to the en suite bathroom that was attached to my room. After brushing my teeth, I closed the door and striped down till I was completely bare and jumped into the shower.

The hot water scalded my pale body as steam fogged up the glass and made the air humid and muggy. Grabbing my tooth brush, I began to obnoxiously sing “Gone Gone Gone” by Phillip Phillips.

When life leaves you high and dry

I'll be at your door tonight

If you need help, if you need help.

I'll shut down the city lights,

I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe

To make you well, to make you well.

When enemies are at your door

I'll carry you away from war

If you need help, if you need help.

Your hope dangling by a string

I'll share in your suffering

To make you well, to make you well.

Give me reasons to believe

That you would do the same for me.

And I would do it for you, for you.

Baby, I'm not moving on

I love you long after you're gone.

For you, for you.

You would never sleep alone.

I love you long after you're gone

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

When you fall like a statue

I'm gon' be there to catch you

Put you on your feet, you on your feet.

And if your well is empty

Not a thing will prevent me.

Tell me what you need, what do you need?

I surrender honestly.

You've always done the same for me.

So I would do it for you, for you.

Baby, I'm not moving on,

I love you long after you're gone.

For you, for you.

You would never sleep alone.

I love you long after you're gone

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

You're my back bone.

You're my cornerstone.

You're my crutch when my legs stop moving.

You're my head start.

You're my rugged heart.

You're the pulse that I've always needed.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.

Like a drum my heart never stops beating...

For you, for you.

Baby, I'm not moving on.

I love you long after you're gone.

For you, for you.

You would never sleep alone.

I love you long after you're gone.

For you, for you.

Baby, I'm not moving on,

I love you long after you're gone.

For you, for you.

You would never sleep alone.

I love you long, long after you're gone.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.

Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

I love you long after you're gone, gone, gone.

I finished the song with a deep bow and started clapping excitedly. Music is one thing that keeps me sane. It helps me remember who I am, and that I still have a reason to live. I sing, but I personally think I do it horribly. Josh always said I sang like an angel, and even tried getting Simon to get me signed up on his company. I of course persuaded Josh not to with a couple of steamy kisses and passionate make out sessions.

After rinsing my hair with my usual Lavender scented shampoo and scrubbing my body in Warm Vanilla Sugar body wash, I stepped out of the shower before wrapping myself up in a warm fluffy towel. I quickly blow-dried my blond hair and quickly yanked a brush through it.

            Stepping out of the bathroom, I trudged over to my gigantic walk-in closet and slipped on a pair of jeans and a grey shirt with a black mustache on it. Walking out of my room, I stepped into the hallway and began my way to the staircase. I was getting close when a person came out of the one of many guest bedrooms and stepped in front of me, their nose crashing into my forehead. The person cursed under their breath and I rubbed my forehead. What a hard nose!

            I looked up ready to apologize for crashing into him/her so badly, when my breath caught in my throat. I felt the world disappear around us as I started at the boy in front of me. Here he was, standing in his all bare-chested glory, abs divinely hard and arm muscles proudly displayed. His smooth skin glowed in the dim sunlight as his large hands raked through his messy chestnut brown curls. “Harry…” I greeted the arrogant boy, internally cursing myself for sounding so breathless.

            It’s not like I could help it. He was just standing there with only a pair of black Calvin Klein boxers like a Greek god, every inch of skin flawless and smooth. A flare of jealousy sparked up in me as my eyes hungrily scanned his perfect body. I wish my body could look that nice. “Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” Harry said smugly, breaking me out of my trance.

            My face flushed in embarrassment as I saw the smirk on Harry’s face. Damn it, he got me again. I glared at Harry and tried to pass him to get to my destination. “Nuh uh uh, you don’t just get leave like that Miss. Cowell.” He grabbed my arm.

            Thoughts from last night rushed into my mind as his hand touched my arm, making my cheeks heat up at the dirty thoughts. Oh what would have happened if Harry didn’t stop? I had no control over myself last night, like I needed Harry, like he was my boyfriend or something. Who knows how far we would have gone? His long finger prodded my cheek, snapping me out of my own world. “What the reason for this blush baby doll? Are you thinking about some dirty thoughts of me and you? Don’t worry; you’re not the only one.” Harry said seductively.

            Uh, there it goes again. Seducing. I don’t know how, but Harry knows exactly how to push my buttons. And seducing was on that list. He was going to do it until I forgave him from annoyance. Fudge.

            But I can’t just forgive him like that. He broke my trust in a matter of two days and he will probably going to be the reason that I will get double the hate and bullying at school. I tried to move again, but Harry just held me tighter. “Harry. Let me go NOW!” I said through gritted teeth as I pushed harder to try to get out of his steel grip.

            “No.” he growled and wrapped his arms tighter around me. His hands gently rubbed circles on my stomach as he buried his face into my hair. I slowly calmed down but my breathing got heavier as his hands traveled across my midriff. I felt his beautiful lips dip down into a frown as he ran his hands over my ribs over and over. He could feel them. They jutted out from the loss of fat and skin from me skipping meals and cutting down on food. “What are you doing?” He whispered into my blond hair.

            I took a deep breath and shrugged. He couldn’t know what people do to me at school. He’ll think I’m a freak. Even though Harry is as annoying and seductive, he was the only one who made me feel complete. Just like music. And music is a REALLY big part of my life. “Don’t you dare pretend like you don’t know Chelsea.” Uh oh, he used my full name. Harry NEVER uses my full name. I’m toast.

            Harry gently but swiftly moved both of our bodies into the guest room where he was sleeping, and brought us over to the body length mirror that was resting on one wall. Slowly, he brought his hand to the end of my shirt and began lifting it up. I began panicking and slapped Harry’s hand away. “What are you doing Harry? Stop it. Let me go.”

            “Shh, Chelsea, don’t worry baby girl, I won’t do anything, I promise. Just trust me.”

            Trust him? Is he crazy?

            Yeah, he is.

            I don’t know what overcame me, but I just nodded. He better not miss this up as well. He resumed his actions and lifted up my shirt until it was bunched up by my bra, but still covering my chest. I closed my eyes and refused to see my body.

            “Open your eyes sweet cheeks. Look at what you’re doing to yourself.” Harry whispered in my ear before nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck.

            Slowly I opened my eyes. What I saw knocked the breath out of me. My stomach was a deathly white color, almost like a… chalky white. It was caved in and the ribs were sticking out. There was barely any flesh and I was surprised I was still alive. Then, before I could utter a single word, Harry pushed up my sleeves that covered my arm. Red lines that covered my pale white skin deeply contrasted. The scars covered my entire arm from my wrist to my elbows, twisting up the skin in its path. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

            I mean I’ve seen my body before, but the way Harry was showing me now really changed my perspective. “Is this really me? Harry, did…did I do this to myself?” I whispered as tears trailed down my pale face.

            “You did sweet heart. All of this. Do you see how bad your treating yourself. You’re so much better than this, I swear.” Harry replied before turning me around and engulfing me in a huge hug.

            I sobbed into Harry as he gently stroked my hair. He kept whispering sweet nothings into my ear as I desperately calmed myself down. After a few minutes of non-stop sobbing, I let go of Harry and looked up at him. “You’re beautiful Chels. I don’t know why you are doing this, but you are too valuable to be doing this to yourself, okay? If you ever need to talk to someone, I’m always there. You can always talk to me or one of the boys okay? You’re beautiful and don’t let anyone else say anything different.” Harry said softly.

            I smiled and nodded at Harry. He nodded back at me a pulled me toward the door. “Let’s go get you some breakfast and off to school we go!”

            I frowned at the mention of school, but let Harry tug me. As his hand was about to twist the door knob, I said the few words that I never thought I would say. But I did, because Harry really did prove himself this time. He earned it. “Thank you Harry. I forgive you.”

So Chelsea forgave Harry! This entire chapter was all Harry and Chelsea just because I wanted an entire chapter dedicated to them. I personally think their cute together. Next chapter is school!

BTW, the first person to comment gets a dedication on the next chapter!!!!!
