Daring

Chapter 5

Savy'sPOV

I ran.

I told Harry way to much about my home life. This was all just a game to him. He only wanted to get me into bed. But the way he looked at me like he didn't want to lose me. For a spilt second I believed him. When he asked me to stay...that's when reality hit me this was just his plan so he could take away the only thing I have left of me. So I ran. I ran down the stairs and out his front door.

Harry wasn't the only reason why I was running. I had to get home. I'm sure my farther was already planning my punishment. A nice few punches to the stomach, maybe another slap to the face and no food for a week. I can already smell the beer on his breath and feel the jolt of pain for when he hits me.

You would think after my father was done he would show sympathy and apologize for his mistake. But no my father has no remorse. He doesn't care that he's hurting his little girl. He has his moments but they all fade once his lips touch that brim of the beer can.

Finally I reached my front door, catching my breath staring at the door,separating me from pain , Reaching for the door, It suddenly opened with force causing me to jump. Suddenly I felt a hand grabbing my wrist yanking me in the house, throwing me to the bottom of the stairs.

“So you think you can sneak out like that Savannah!” My dad yells in my face, smelling that familiar smell only this time stronger, he drank more than his usual.

“Answer me !!!” He demanded I sat there silent and defenceless When a hand met my face causing a sting of pain . Holding my cheek in pain , I look up a my father tears began to form, My dad….. My own father laying his hand on his baby girl his one and only child.

“Daddy please…” I whispered, he laughed , causing me fright in my heart. “Don’t you Daddy please me ! , You know what you did and now you are going to be punished” He said towering over me, unbuckling his belt I knew what was going to happen . I wanted to scream, But I couldn't..I was weak .Yanking the belt from his pants he wrapped it around his hand.

“Dad….Im sorry! Please!” I said.

With a flick of movement, the belt landed on my stomach, causing me to cry in pain his movements became harsh and more sharp.

“This will teach you not to act like such a cunt!” He spat hitting me once more only this time on my thigh, Tears were rolling down my cheeks, I began to crawl up the stairs, “Where the f**k are you going !” He said following me, finally I got on my feet running to my door locking it .

“Savannah don't you make me break this door down!” My dad said banging on the door . Looking around the room I grab my small bag throwing it on to my bed and rushing towards my drawers, grabbing every clothing item I could throwing them into my bag, My blood began to rise along with my pulse, I felt my phone buzz three unread text messages from Harry.

I didn’t bother even reading the messages, my fingers began to quickly writing a message

Harry, keep your door unlocked please.xx-Savy

Shoving the phone back into my pocket, I flung the bag on my shoulder. Checking my phone once more I see that Harry has replied.

Savy, Are you okay ? and my door is unlocked -Harry xx

All of a sudden, It became silent I heard my father's footsteps walk towards his room, turning to my window, I tried to open it until I realized it was glued shut my only option was the front door. Silently opening my door I stuck my head out listening for my dad, he was in the Kitchen from what I can hear opening another beer can. I quietly tip toed down the the stairs, finally making my way down to the last step, my eyes glanced over at the man who was supposed to be the parental figure to me, but all I could see was a drunken man who is broken...Shattered .Opening the door silently, I couldn't help but still stare at my father. Suddenly fear struck me when his eyes landed on me.

“Savannah! where do you think your going!” He asked, picking up his feet stomping towards me, I ran straight out the door, crying and not looking back.

“GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE YOU TRAMP!!” He yelled at the top of his lungs, causing me to cry harder. Tears rolling down my cheeks, I couldn't help but hold my side. Running faster I finally spot Harry’s house, he was the only one I could turn to, I have no one else.

No one.

Grabbing the door, I opened it swiftly, falling into Harry’s house crying..

Harry's POV

She wasn't replying to any of my texts and I was so worried. Why was I so worried? f*****g Christ Styles you like her just admit it!

I do.

I feel so protective over her. Is it even possible to feel this way about somebody In such a short time? Is it because I feel bad? There are so many f*****g questions running through my mind right now. f**k! I need to lay down.

I made my way over to the couch and once my head hit the pillow I was out.

"Get your f*****g hands off of her!" I screamed at the mans face I could not see.

He grabbed her once again slamming her against the stairs. I couldn't move everything I tried my feet wouldn't budge.

Savy was the only one I could make out. She was on the staircase with her knees in her chest. She was crying. I couldn't help her. I just watched as the man repeatedly slammed his fist into her side.

"Please Dad!" she begged and pleaded

Dad.. It was her father.

Suddenly it became dark...

Opening my eyes in a panic, gasping for air realizing it was only a dream..a nightmare to be exact , I rose from the couch walking into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water taking a big gulp of it.

“Where is she..” I questioned myself, Suddenly my question was answered when I heard the front door slam opened then a thud hit the floor. Only one thing came to mind

Savannah..

The palms of my feet walked quickly to my front door, I looked down and there she was. On the floor crying, I crouched down next to Savannah remembering my dream I felt a ache in my heart. “Savy.” I whispered She was silent. The sounds of her cries filled the room her arms reached for me I accepted pulling her into my lap Savannah’s face was buried into my chest I could feel her tears going through my shirt.

“Savannah, What happened? “ I asked running my fingers through her brown hair, she slowly looked up at me, her blood shot hazel eyes stared into mine I then noticed her cheek was red hoping it was from her crying but I already knew it wasn't.

She shook her head, “He.. “ she choked “Hit me..several times ..”

I felt my heart stop, pulling her closer to me, a whimper escaped from her lips.

With out even asking I grabbed the hem of her shirt slowly pulling it up. Only to be stopped.

"Harry no!"

"Savy please let me see." She just shook her head. But I continued moving her shirt up until I saw dark pink bruises
