Part 5

Harm's home
La Jolla

Monday 19 November 1984, 06:00 AM

"Beep Beep Beep" With a groan Harm hit the snooze button on his alarm and tried to turn on his side when he realised that he was pinned down by an arm across his stomach and a head on his chest. Looking down he smiled at the sleeping form of 'his princess'. He couldn't stop thinking about her, she was so beautiful. That was when it really hit him, he was in love with her. Not just a little crush but the head-over-heals-can't-stop-thinking-about-you kind of in love. He gently kissed the top of her head and silently vowed to himself that he would do anything to make her happy. Just then the alarm started beeping again and he turned it off. He gently stroked Sarah's back in order to get her to wake up but the only reaction he got was a soft moan.

He tried again and whispered in her ear: "Good morning princess it's time to wake up."

She stirred, than opened her eyes and looked up at him: "Good morning to you too."

"Why don't you go have a shower and get changed, I'll do the same and after that I'll make us some breakfast."

"Okay, but hurry, I'm hungry." She gave him a smile and then got up and left the room.

20 minutes later Sarah walked down the stairs wearing the new outfit Harm had gotten for her a few days earlier. She found him in the kitchen baking pancakes. She sat down at the table and waited for him to finish. Harm had heard her come in but she hadn't said a word, which had him kind of worried, he quickly finished baking the pancakes and sat down at the table as well.

They ate in silence until Harm asked Sarah: "What's up, you're really quite over there?"

"Oh nothing much." She answered distractedly.

"Nothing much means something, come on, talk to me."

"I guess I'm just kind of nervous about going to school today, everyone knows me as 'the drunk' and I'm not really looking forward to meeting Chris and telling him it's all over."

"Is he your boyfriend?" Harm asked softly.

"He was." She said. Then almost whispered: "Only because he paid for my drinks."

"Don't worry Princess, it'll be all right." Harm assured her before getting the car keys to drive them to school.

La Jolla High School
La Jolla

Monday 19 November 1984, 11:40 AM

Lunch had just begun and Harm and Sarah made their way over to the cafeteria. Fortunately they had not seen Chris yet since he was in different classes but they had met some of Sarah's other classmates. It had been kind of awkward since Harm had introduced her to all his friends who actually like her but her classmates just ignored her like always.

After they'd gotten their food they sat down at a table, soon they were joined by Jake and Pete. They had almost finished their lunch when Chris arrived at the table:

"Hey Sarah, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah, sure Chris, what's up?" Sarah answered him. She started to feel nervous but wouldn't let him see that.

"In private?" Before Sarah stood up Harm gave her hand a soft squeeze of reassurance and together they walked out of the cafeteria. As they walked to the door Sarah could feel Harm's eyes on her and it made her feel happy to know that he looked out for her.

When Sarah and Chris got outside Sarah sat down on one of the benches and started talking: "Okay listen Chris, it's over between us."

"What? You can't do that. You can't leave me, and besides, who's gonna pay for you drinks now eh?"

"Yes I can and no one is gonna pay for my drinks, I dried out." Chris tried to kiss her but she pulled away and said: "Forget it Chris." With that she walked back inside.

At the same time inside the cafeteria:

He wanted to protect Sarah from anything that might hurt her but he knew that she had to do this herself. As he watched her walk out of the cafeteria his friends started to bug him: "You like her, don't ya Harm?" "She's so hot Harm, when were you gonna tell us you had a girlfriend?" Harm turned to them and said: "Oh shut up. Jake, I need your help, I've got to find someone called Matthew O'Hara. He's a Major in the Marines. You think that your dad might be able to find something out at work?"

"Yeah, I'll ask him, what do you need the guy for?"

Harm braced himself for the comments he knew where coming when he said: "He's Sarah's uncle." Jake and Pete started their comments again until they Sarah approach.

When Sarah sat down Jake and Pete started to ask her questions about what was up with Chris when the bell rang and they had to go to class again. Sarah was happy that the confrontation with Chris was over but she still felt like he wasn't done yet, she wasn't sure what to expect but she didn't believe that he saw there relationship as finished.

The rest of the school day finished fast and before they knew it Sarah and Harm were on their way back home. They were sitting down at the kitchen table doing there homework when the door bell rang. As soon as Harm had opened the door a very drunk Chris pushed his way into the house screaming: "Where is Sarah?" He walked further into the house until her entered the kitchen. Before Sarah knew what was happening Chris had her pushed up against the wall and tried to kiss her but she pushed him away. "Don't you dare reject me or I'll …" When Harm entered the kitchen and saw what was happening he grabbed Chris and said: "Or you'll what? Don't you dare touch her. Did your mother never teach you to always respect a girl?"

"Oh come on, She is not a girl, she's a whore! She can't even …" Before Chris got finish his sentence he lay unconscious on the floor. Harm hadn't hit him very hard but being drunk made Chris loose his balance which caused him to hit his head on the floor. Before Harm and Sarah could move a muscle though there was a cough from the direction of the door. Looking up they saw Frank standing there with raised eyebrows. Finally he broke the uncomfortable silence and said: "What is that all about?" Before Harm could get a word out Sarah started to babble: "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, he came for me and I …" Harm interrupted her by saying: "Frank, he pushed his way into the house then started to threaten Sarah so I grabbed him when he started to insult her I kind of hit him, he was drunk so he lost his balance and fell. I didn't mean to hurt him that bad but it was self-defence."

"Okay then, I'll call the sheriff and get him taken care off." Frank said.

After Frank had given Harm a lecture about not beating people up and the sheriff had collected Chris, Harm and Sarah went outside for a walk along the beach. They walked in silence for a while before Sarah said: "Thank you Harm, for taking care of Chris."

"You're welcome." It was silent again for a while. Then Harm stopped them and he took both of her hands in his before he said: "You're not a whore and whatever insult he has made before today, it's not true okay?" Sarah looked up at him with big eyes and he could see the doubt in them so he pulled her close to hug her and whispered in her ear: "I believe in you Princess so why wouldn't you believe in your self?" With that silent tears started to run down Sarah's cheek while they stood on the beach on a cold November afternoon.

Hope you enjoyed it and please review.
