Struggle - H.S.

I opened my eyes because someone shook me and it took me a while to recognise my surrounding. Everything was hurting and I coughed whilst trying to get up, this wasn’t easy at all. Wait someone shook me right?

I try to turn myself around but this wasn’t possible due to the strong arms around my body but these were not the arms of Harry and I was immediately aware and panicking. I tried to get out of these set of arms but I couldn’t because the more I tried to get out the stronger his hold.

“Let me go, please?” I begged him but he didn’t let go. “I’m not letting you go till Harry is here.” I recognised that voice, as it had a hint of Irish through it. That’s when I realised what he just said, why was Harry coming here and how?

“Stop worrying it will all be okay.” I know that he was trying to sooth me but it wasn’t working, the way he rubbed my back, felt just really wrong. I just wanted to be left alone and I definitely didn't want Harry here, as he was the reason I got attacked in the first place and I didn’t want to be anywhere near him and now Niall was holding me in one spot until Harry would arrive.

“I though you were on my side?” I said accusingly to him and I heard him sigh because I already know what his answer would be, as he just tricked me, which also meant that Harry knew exactly were I worked.

“I’m on your side but you have to understand that I’m also one of Harry’s best friends and he saw that you didn’t mind me being around and this was a way for him to keep track of you.”
I finally ripped myself free from his hold and I got up as fast as lightning at least I like to think that I did that but the moment I was standing I almost collapsed again and Niall had to catch me before I fell.

I saw an car approaching and I knew instantly who was behind that wheel. I was looking at Niall, who held his eyes on the horizon and I was mentally kicking the crap out of him for betraying me like this. Harry got out and walked towards us and when he was in front of me he grabbed my chin and lifted my head slightly so he could see the damage.
“Shit, they got you good, they are going to be dead when I find them!” he said really pissed but I didn’t want to hear any of this. I pulled my head from his hand and freed myself from Niall’s hold and walked over to the car.

If you can call it walking that is. I crawled on the backseat and closed my eyes again because I really didn’t want to deal with the both of them. “Anna, are you okay?” Harry asked me but I ignored him and I could hear him grit his teeth but he didn’t do anything, which again surprised me because normally he would’ve forced me to say something to him.
I felt the car moving and I know that he was driving me home instead of to the Hotel and I was wondering if he also had gotten my stuff. Knowing him he probably did.

When we stopped in front of my house I quickly threw the door open and walked up to my door as fast as possible but I was limping when I was nearly half way and I was totally out of breath. That fucking guy hat hit me harder then I thought he did. I stopped walking and kneeled down just to catch my breath when two arms lifted me up.

“Relax, it’s just me.” I felt my body relax instantly at Harry’s voice and I hated myself for it. I didn’t want to fall for him but my body said otherwise. He walked with me towards my door and just opened it with, wait did he have the key to my house, what the hell! He brought me to my room and put me down on the bed. It was actually really cool in my room, which was strange as it was still really hot outside.

“Why is it so cool in my room?” I asked and this surprised him a bit because I hadn’t said a word since he arrived at the top of that hill.

“I installed air conditioning for you.” He said whilst shrugging. That brought me back at the fact that he had my house key. “Yeah about that, why do you have the key to my house?” I asked him suspiciously.

“Oh, I stole your key and had it copied for me.” Whoa stalker much, this was really creeping me out. So there wasn’t a place in Oxford were I could hide from him. This was really smothering me and I felt my heart picking up, he noticed it to but he didn’t know he was the reason for this. “It will be alright, just calm down Anna.” Harry told me annoyed but there was just no way I could calm down right now and next thing I know, I just lose it.

“CALM DOWN, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!! YOU ARE THE REASON I GOT ATTACKED AND THERE IS NOWHERE I CAN GO BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHERE I AM, WHY DO YOU WANT ME, WHAT IS SO DAMN SPECIAL ABOUT ME, THAT YOU CAN NOT LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!” I screamed at him almost pulling my hair out. He was taken back but I didn’t care I was just so mad at him right now.

“SHUT UP!” Harry yelled back and he was clenching his fists. He was holding back but I didn’t get it, why didn’t he just hit me like he did the first time I yelled at him? Why was he acting different around me, it just didn’t make sense.

“I. JUST. CAN'T.” and with that he walked out of my room.
