All That We See or Seem
Safe
Brooklyn's P.O.V
The next few days have been heaven. This boy has got my heart beating fast, every time I see him I get butterflies. Today I am going to the park to meet Harry, than we are just going to hang out at his flat. The boys said the have some news for me.
Harry and I aren't official yet, but I feel like we already are.
I'm on my way through the park to meet Harry at the swings when arms fly around my waist. Assuming it's Harry I giggle and put my hands on top of his.
"Mmm, I love your giggle. It turns me on" an odd voice says. A lump forms in my throat and my palms are starting to sweat. I know who this is and I wish so badly that it was Harry.
"P-please, let m-me go" I stammer trying to get out of his tight grasp.
"Actually I was thinking that maybe we could do some things that we used to" he says sharply.
Than my body is flung over his shoulder and he starts to jog. He throws me down when we are behind a bunch of bushes. One hand flies up my shirt while the other is covering my mouth. He teases my breasts for a bit before tugging my pants down slowly. I try my best to eacape this horrible event but I am too weak. He slids his hand slowly up my leg and between my thigh, straight to my center. He slids two of his disgusting fingers inside and starts pumping.
I can't even begin to describe how I'm feeling. As my body gets abused, I feel as though I am watching from above. He thrusts into me as whimpers of pain and sorrow escape my lips.
He finishes off then climbs off of me. He laughs at my shaking body than comes dangerously close to me face.
"Tell anyone and I will do this again, but you won't be awake to experience it" he spits then jogs away.
I lay in the same spot numb for what feels like hours. The sun is down and dark clouds cover the sky, slowly water droplets fall from the sky covering my limp body. I can't find the strength to speak, to scream for help, or to even cry. I just stay still and think, why did this happen, did I deserve it? What did I do to deserve this? Where was Harry now? He probably thinks I stood him up. I should go talk to him, tell him there was a family emergency or something. No. I can't lie to him.
I slowly make my way to my feet, I'm sore. Everywhere.
***
I reach my front door and slowly make my way to the bathroom, I strip myself of the clothes I am wearing and throw them in the trash. I don't want any reminders of what happened today.
I turn the shower on and jump in. I slide my body down the cold shower wall. Sitting. Thinking. Than the wave of sadness hits me, I start to cry. More like sob. My bodys shaking and my stomach is in knots. Not the good ones.
Harry's P.O.V
It's been 20 minutes since Brooklyn said she would meet me and I start to get anxious. She likes me right? I though she did. Another 30 minutes go by before I stand up and head for my car.
What a waste of time, putting everything I am into someone who doesn't want it back. I walk through the flat doors and the boys all charge towards me. When they see I'm alone they stop in their tracks and look around.
"Where's Brooklyn? " Louis says disappointed.
"Don't know, don't care" I say pissed off. I don't let anyone else say anything before I stomp to my room slamming the door. I throw myself on my bed and slowly drift off to sleep thinking about what I did wrong.
I wake up the next morning feeling empty. I need to see her. To know why she didn't come. I quickly shower and throw on some clothes. I grab me keys and basically run out the door.

I pull up to her house and jump out of the car, I walk to her front door and knock loudly. Sara pulls open the door and a look of sadness crosses over her face. She leads me inside and sits me down on the couch.
"Harry, something bad has happened to Brooklyn" she says slowly, waiting my reaction.
My heart falls. She didn't stand me up, she was going through something bad, and I wasn't there to help her.
"I found her passed out on the bathroom floor this morning, so I took her to the hospital. She was raped yestersay and the devastation caused her to pass out." Sara says sadly.
I can't breathe. My body doesn't react to the news at first. Sara stares at me not knowing what to do. The tears start to stain my cheeks. I can't believe I wasn't there to protect her.
She leads me down stairs where Brooklyn is sleeping peacefully in her bed. Sara heads back upstairs and I make my way beside her. I put my hand in hers and feel guilt wash over my body.
I'm such a bad person.
Brooklyn's P.O.V
I wake up tp a soft voice saying my name. Instantly my heart starts thumping inside my body. Harry.
My eyes slowly open and there he is, the beautiful boy. He looks like he has been crying. Than it all comes back to me. Tears spill over my eyes and I feel Harry slide in the bed beside me. His arms wrap around my waist as mine rest on his strong chest.
"I'm so sorry" he whispers.
"I'm sorry I missed our date" I say slowly.
"No, please don't be. None of this is your fault. I promise love" he says seriously. I just move closer to him and fall back asleep.
***
My eyes flutter open and Harry's arms tighten around me.
"Good morning love" He stands up and grabs his phone.
"Harry? " I ask
"Ya"
"Can we go back to your place now, I don't want to be left alone" I say cautiously
"Of course" he stands me up and helps me up stairs. I brush my teeth and do my hair quickly. Than we head out the door.
I feel safe with him.
