Riley's POV:

"What are you doing here?" I ask, staring at him in disbelief. All I keep thinking is, if I don't kill him, Harry will.

"This is my school. What are you doing here?" He asks, smirking at me. I'm completely irritated at how this is a game to him, as if it's funny that he raped me, humiliated me and continues to haunt me.

"This is actually my school. You're just the scum that was sent here for bad behavior." I fire back and immediately regret it. For some reason I feel so much more ballsy after everything I've been through.

"When did you become such a spitfire? It's hot, like really hot." I can hear the smile on his face as I lead him to his first class. Another thing running through my mind is, I can't wait to tell my therapist about this. It's almost funny that I'm thinking that, but then I'd stop laughing when I remember Seth is the reason I even have one of those.

"Fuck off. Harry's gonna kill you once he figures out your here, you know that don't you?" I chuckle, opening the classroom door to my history class. I hear Seth mumble something about Harry under his breath, but ignore it.

"Mrs. Morris, this is the new student... Seth Chambers." I say flatly, rushing to take my seat beside Liam. His jaw is dropped open and his fists are clenched. I glance over at Nick who is giving a confused look, and then over at Perrie who is shaking her head.

"What the fuck is he doing here?" Liam says through gritted teeth.

"He's the new transfer student the principal is making me take around." I reply, pulling out my notebook and joining the rest of the class in taking notes. To be honest, I'm not even sure what we're learning but I need a distraction. I look over at Liam who is vigorously banging on the keys of his phone.

"Who are you texting?" I asked, but I already knew the answer. "He's gonna flip a shit Liam, I wish you waited." I groaned angrily.

"The sooner he knows, the better." He sighs. I know that Harry is going to do something horrible, I just hope it doesn't get him in too much trouble... or kicked out of school. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't in the building with Seth being here. I mentally sigh and continue taking notes, avoiding the playful and creepy grins I can see Seth sending from the corner of my eyes. Deep breaths Riley, deep breaths.

Harry's POV:

"I'm gonna kill that bastard Niall!" I screamed, lighting up a cigarette and taking a long drag. I usually don't smoke these that much anymore, but I think this qualifies for an okay time to have one.

"I'm right behind you, mate... but what about Riley? You don't want her to see you going ape shit on the kid." he sighs, and I nod. He's right. I never want Riley to see me beating the shit out of someone, even if it's Seth. Then, an idea hit me.

"Riley isn't going to be at lunch today." I smile, and Niall's eyes grow bigger, having the same sudden realization as me.

"Let's bring him out here and rough him up a bit, shall we?" Niall suggests. Just as the lunch bell rings, I head inside to grab Zayn, Liam and Louis and tell them my plan. My phone continues buzzing and I know that Riley is texting me, but I just can't answer right now. This bastard is getting totaled, and maybe that will teach him to stay away from her for good.

Riley's POV:

"I'm doing better, thanks." I smiled to my Anatomy teacher. I was doing a dissection alone today since I was absent for so many days.

"Glad to hear it, you can get started. I'll be by the windows if you need me... I can't stand the smell of that stuff for too long." He chuckles and heads toward the back of the room. He can't stand the smell of this stuff? I hate this!

As I take apart the sheep brain, my mind is in a completely different place. I'm wondering what Seth is doing in the lunchroom, who he's corrupting and if Harry has spotted him. During the class before this I texted Harry over and over again, telling him I was ok and not to do anything stupid but he never answered me once.

I continued dissecting the stupid brain for about 15 more minutes until I hear... groans? coming from outside those windows. I glance over at my teacher who is completely zoned out.

"Do you hear that?" I asked, and he quickly snapped out of it.

"Hear what?" He asks, and sticks his head out the open window. "What the hell is going on out there?!" He shouts, startling me so badly that the brain goes flying across the room. Fuck.

"Ah! I didn't mean to, I got scared." I chuckle a bit and he just shakes his head throwing on his coat and laughing.

"It's not a big deal, but your lab partner is beating the hell out of a kid in the parking lot, I've gotta get the principal." He shouts, running down the hall. Oh fuck, fuck, fuck. I decide following him down the hallway is no use, so being the idiot that I am I chose to climb out the window. When my feet hit the ground, I sprint towards Harry.

"Stay away from Riley you fucking piece of shit!" Harry's growling, pounding his fist into Seth's skull. Harry's eyes are dark and his knuckles are coated in blood. I glance at the helpless Seth and I can't believe I'm saying this... I feel bad.

"Harry, please get off." I murmur, afraid to step in. He doesn't respond, he just keeps swinging. Every time Harry's fist connects with Seth, my insides erupt.

"Get out of here Riley, let me finish him off." He whispers through panting breaths.

"Harry, the principal is coming! Please stop it, please!" I nearly screamed, pulling at his elbows but he doesn't budge. I pull a little harder and his shoulder jerks me back and onto my ass.

"Mr. Styles, that is more than enough!" The principal's voice booms from in front of me. I slowly sit up using my elbows and look at Harry who is crying. My heart is breaking at him crying, and then I notice that I am too.

"Riley, I didn't mean to do that..." he stammers.

"I know, shhh. It's ok." I assure him, quickly standing up from the ground and wiping my eyes. I don't want him to be sorry, because I know he didn't mean it.

"Mr. Styles, what have you got to say for yourself?!" The principal shouts in his face. Harry says nothing has Seth stands up from the ground with a swollen face. Harry's eyes never leave mine, and I feel like screaming at him to explain himself.

"Nothing?" My Anatomy teachers voice encourages him to say something. Nothing.

"Then it's official, you're suspended from school for 10 days. I don't want to see you on this school property and I don't want to hear any complaints from your parents. This is your final warning." He growls, walking away from the scene with Seth by his side. I look at Harry, who still hasn't taken his eyes off of me.

"Harry... Let me drive you home. Give me your keys." I sigh, and he hands me the keys out of his pocket.

Something tells me there might be more between Seth and Harry then I realize. The picture thing has been cleared up from Eric, but I can tell there is more history between them. He's keeping something from me, those punches weren't just because of the past... he's afraid of something.

Actually, I don't even know at this point. My brain is fried and my insides are rattled... I've never seen Harry so vicious before. He would have killed Seth if I didn't hear him out there, and now he's like a zombie. I'm scared for what's next, and honestly... I love Harry, but I'm a little bit scared of him at the moment.
