Free Falling

*Addison's POV*

I have to admit, it was nice to forget about all of my problems for a night. I didn't have to focus on anything else, I could just have fun. It had been a while since I had hung out with my friends and I was glad I had gone. It was nice to see Harry again. Mackenzie and Layne still talked about him all the time. He seemed to be a little bit of a loner, we never really seemed to see him hanging out with anyone. He was always on the sidelines, just watching with a smirk plastered on his face. I wish I was able to talk to him a little bit more before Mark Vogel wanted to talk to me. He was the heart throb of the Senior class. I didn't see why everyone was so into him. Yes, I admit he wasn't bad looking but he could be a jerk sometimes. He knew that people liked him and he used that to his advantage. But it was fun to talk to him at the party. He made me laugh, and I liked that in a guy.

Landon, Wyatt and I were walking into school the next day went I felt an arm slide over my shoulder. I turned to see Mark Vogel with his arm around me. Landon also turned and rolled his eyes, giving me a confused look. I ignored him and smiled at Mark.

“Hey, what's up?” I asked sliding my arm around his waist.

He smiled at that and said, “Nothing much, just wanted to see my favorite girl.” He looked at me and I smiled back. We walked into school, his arm around me and mine around him. I caught several glares from girls, I could tell they were jealous. I mean, who wouldn't be? He walked me to my locker and waited for me to set down my backpack.

“See you around,” he smirked and walked away, knowing he was already messing with my mind. For the rest of the day, whenever he saw me, he would wink. I knew I shouldn't fall for his games, but I mean, how could I resist?

As the day went on I continued to get glares as I walked by. Girls whispered and guys chuckled. Everyone knew that I was falling for Mark, including myself. I kept going through the day trying to ignore the weird looks and painful words. It was now time for gym class which I had with Mark. This could be interesting.

I was walking into the locker-room when all of a sudden someone had their arms around me. I squealed and a hand went over my mouth. I giggled realizing that it was Mark.

“Hey, lets ditch, okay? We'll hang out in the guys locker-room. Everyone changed already. Okay pretty girl?” he whispered into my ear. It sent chills down my back. I giggled and nodded. He had me completely playing along with his games. This was the first time since my mom died that I wan't thinking of her, or my family. This was for me.

He dragged me into the locker room and shoved me against the lockers. My head hit the door and I squealed. He put his finger over my mouth telling me to be quiet. Quickly he locked his lips with my. They moved together quickly and fiercly. He grabbed by legs and lifted me up pushing me into the locker. It went faster and harder. I suddenly realized how stupid I was being. This wasn't me, what was I thinking.

“Mark, stop. I cant.” I mumbled trying to pull back. But he kept kissing me. He took his hands and pulled my top up. I tried moving to escape his grasp but he was to strong. “Stop it!” I yelled, “Please, stop! Seriously! Mark get of me!”

*Harry's POV*

I was really late for class. I had to finish a math test and now I was more than 5 minutes late to class. I was walking to class when I heard screaming coming from the guys locker room. It sounded like a girl.

“Seriously! Mark get of me!” O crap. Who was that? That idiot Mark.

I ran into the room, pushing the door open. I saw Adison against the locker. Her eyes were red and tear-filled. Her shirt was pushed up so her bare stomach was exposed. Her hair went in different directions. She was trying to free herself from Mark's grip on her arms. I felt my hands crumple into balls.

I stormed towards the two and pushed Mark back. He gasped as his head hit the locker. I looked back at Adison. She was in a ball on the floor. Hugging her knees to her chest and sobbing. I grabbed Mark's shirt and threw him into the lockers.

“You are pathetic. Who do you think you are? Get out of here and don't you EVER lay a finger on her again. I'm serious. Get out. Now.”

I knelt down and looked at her. She was shaking and cold. I pushed her hair back from her face and stroked her back. She didn't look up. I pulled her against my chest and rubbed her back. As I did this I pulled her shirt down. I felt her tears against my neck. What a jerk, he didn't even think about here. He just tried to rape her. I pulled her closer and hugged her tighter. She lied limp in my arms. Slowly I took her shoulders. I heard her wince and that's when I saw the finger print bruises on her shoulders from him pinning her to the lockers. I swore and turned away. I seriously cannot believe him.

“Thanks,” she croaked. I looked back at her to see her blue eyes glistening into mine. A single tear fell from her eye. I brushed it away and planted a soft, slow kiss on her forehead. I needed to take her home, and then talk to her brother. Great. That was going to be fun. I scooped her up in my arms and she laid against my chest.

*Addison's POV*
I was sitting in Harry's car. After almost being raped. What just happened? I was still shocked by what just happened. It was a blur. I remember Mark kissing me and pinning me against the lockers. Harry came in and scared him off. He hugged and kissed me, protecting me, reassuring me that everything was going to be alright. I opened my eyes when I realized that Harry's palm was on my knee. He was looking at me. His green eyes filled with worry. We sat in silence the whole ride to my house. How did he even know where I lived?

We got to my house and he once again lifted me out of the car. I haven't talked to him except for saying thanks. It's not awkward, it just feels natural. He brought me upstairs and into my room. Slowly he laid me down on my bed, his muscles moving against my neck. He peeled his sweatshirt off and pulled it slowly over my head. He took the blanket from the end of the bed and pulled it under my chin.

He leaned in slowly, giving me another kiss on the forehead. It left me tingly and warm. Softly he whispered into my ear. “I'm sorry love. You don't deserve that. No guy is allowed to treat you like that. You're beautiful, caring, and strong. You'll get through it. Call me if you need anything. Now get some sleep.” He carefully got of the bed and began to close the door.

“Harry?” I whispered. He turned around looking concerned. “Thank you.”
He looked relieved. He gave me a pained smile and closed the door. Slowly I drifted off, into the one place that I felt safe. My dreams.

*Landon's POV*
After school I couldn't find Adison anywhere so I figured she got a ride home. I picked up Evelyn and Wyatt up and we continued home. As I pulled into the driveway I saw a guy sitting on the porch. Great, I thought. Here we go.

“Hey Wy, you and Evelyn go inside, okay? I'll be right in.” He nodded, swinging his and Evelyn's bags over his shoulder.

I got out of the car and slammed the door. The guy looked up and I noticed it was Harry Styles from school. He looked nervous. I knew this couldn't be good.

“Hey man, listen. I'm gonna tell you something you are not going to want to hear. I just need you to listen.” Harry said glancing at his feet.

“What?” I said. I just wanted to get this over with.

“Um, well your sister was almost raped and um I...” that's all I needed to hear. I didn't even notice as my fist balled up. I lifted by arm and swung knocking him straight in the jaw. He head whipped back and he fell to the ground. He looked up at me with confusion in his eyes.
