Struggle - H.S.

"Anyone care to tell me who that guy was, as he was the one who attacked me in the first place?" Everyone was looking at me in shock and if I wasn't angry and scared I would have giggled at their faces but something had happened because Harry was on the floor and he was not standing up.

"What's wrong with Harry?" I asked, as Harry was looking really bad. "He got shot." I broke out in laughter and if they thought I lost my mind they would be thinking right. I just couldn't contain myself and I put my hand on my knees and was laughing so hard that I had trouble breathing.

"Anna stop laughing." Which made me laugh even harder. It got to a point that the tears were running over my cheek but when I realised that no one was laughing with me, that I looked around to see why everyone was so quiet.

That's when I finally had a better look at Harry and he actually didn't look that good. I stopped laughing immediately and rushed to see if I could do something even though I thought that this was Karma and that he deserved it. I mean I don't want him to die but this is probably his own damn fault. "Where was he shot?" I asked worried and Liam answer me right away.
"In his stomach and shoulder." He told me and that actually made me even more worried, why didn't they call a ambulance?

"Why haven't you guys called an ambulance?" I asked them astounded "We can't, there are some uhm.. Legal issues." Liam said nervous and I couldn't help but shake my head at this.
"Of course, so who is going to help him than?" I asked them but I only got blank stares back because they hadn't really thought that through.

"Normally his mom would do that but she is away." Niall mumbled and I rolled my eyes at this, of course she was. "So what are you saying is that you guys are going to let him bleed out till his mom get's back, well good luck." I turned around and walked to the door not bothering to look back. "Anna, please?" I heard Harry whisper from the couch, he was almost unconscious but something in his voice stopped me in my tracks.

"Please help me?" he begged me and his voice sounded so weak that I just couldn't ignore him. I huffed but walked back to where he was lying, what did he think I could do? I'm no fucking doctor! The lads were looking at me with a worried expression. "Alright, Liam get me a few towels!" I ordered. "Niall, get me a pan full of boiled water! and Louis, get me the Emergency kit!" I know they didn't want to obey me but they really didn't have a choice in the matter.

"Zayn, get him on the table!" They all went in different directions and I threw everything that was on the table on the ground and put a pillow on the surface. Zayn lifted Harry carefully and put him on the table. "I need as much light that you can get me Zayn!" The lads came back with everything I asked for and I pulled out a tweezers and burned the tips to disinfect it, then I put it in the boiled water to cool it down. I pulled on some gloves and asked Liam to remove Harry's shirt.

I was for a few seconds distracted because of all the tattoos on his body. I had a weakness for guys with tattoos and to think he had all those tattoos didn't help my 'I hate his guts' case.
"Alright Harry this is going to hurt." I didn't gave him time to prepare and put the tweezers in the wound. He almost jumped from the table because of the pain and I couldn't help but smile.

"Niall, Liam please hold him back, I don't want to hurt him even more." They obeyed immediately and I continued my work. I had to go really deep, which was truly disgusting but when I finally reached the bullet I was ecstatic and I smiled again, which Harry saw this time.
"You are enjoying this way too much." He noticed and that made me even smile more. "Well if you hadn't been such a dick to me from the beginning, I maybe would be pitying you now instead of enjoying myself whilst removing the bullets from your body!"

He shut his mouth when I started to pull out the bullet. I got it out and placed it in a small container and I burned the tip of the needle which I would be using to stitch him up. "Again this is going to hurt and I'm still not sorry." That's when I heard that the lads where chuckling at my remark but I wasn't paying attention because I really had to hurry up with the stitching as he was still bleeding and as he couldn't go to the hospital, he couldn't afford to loose more blood but that was exactly what was going to happen because I hadn't pulled out the bullet in his shoulder, shit!

"I need someone to get me a few blood bags and a transfusion kit because he is going to loose more blood, which he can't afford!" I told them "I can go." Louis said, which surprised me because he normally would do anything to work against me but now he was obeying me.
"Please Louis, uhm do you know his blood type?" I asked him, as there was no time to loose.

"Yes I know what it is." he said with certainty. "Alright please hurry Louis!" I began to stitch him up and he groaned. I decided to give him something that would numb the pain a bit. "Zayn can you grab the strongest alcoholic drink the got?" I asked him. "Of course, I will be right back." I saw Niall and Liam exchange looks and those looks bothered me because I knew what they meant. They thought I was feeling sorry for Harry and to my surprise I was feeling a bit sorry for him even though I didn't want to admit that.

"Here you go Anna." I looked at the bottle and saw that he grabbed really strong whiskey and I smiled at this. I gave the bottle back to Zayn and ordered him to make sure that Harry drank at least half the bottle. I needed a little break before I continued with the stitching. I quickly got up and walked into the kitchen. I washed my hands and let myself sink on the floor. I had to take a deep breath because this was not what I had expected to do in the middle of the night. What if I did something wrong and Harry would actually die because he got an infection or something like that.

I would never forgive myself. I mean yes I don't like Harry but I don't want him to die. I heard Zayn call my name and I quickly got up and walked back. Harry was still not asleep, which I hoped for but apparently the drinking didn't help a single bit that was until he opened his mouth. "Anna Jude, that's one pretty name." he slurred and I couldn't help but giggle. "Thank you Harry."

"You must know that I love you." He slurred and that shocked me because I thought he only saw me as a thing he wanted to posses but I never thought he would actually love me and I felt butterflies starting to fly in my stomach, which was really odd.
"You are drunk Harry, why don't you go to sleep?" I told him trying to be strict with him, this didn't work though. "I will If you kiss me." I sighed but I had to get him to sleep and if this was my only option, then so be it. I bended over him and pressed my lips against his. He kissed me back and pulled me closer but I put my hands on his chest and pulled back.
"Alright now go to sleep." I ordered him and he tried so smirks which he failed. "Yes Ma'am!"
He finally closed his eyes and soft snores came from his mouth not much later. He looked like a little boy when he slept. I brushed his hair away from his face. I realised what I was doing when someone cleared their throat and I removed my hand from his forehead and continued the stitching and when I was done with his stomach I put on some bandages.

I moved over to the bullet wound in his shoulder, which was still bleeding. I began to reach for the bullet again and was happy that it wasn't as deep as the bullet in his stomach.
I pulled it out rather quick and I was really happy when Louis finally got back with two blood bags and a transfusion kit. I had Liam read the instruction from Google. I had to stick the needle into his vein and made sure it wouldn't fall out by putting tape over it. I had to make sure that the blood bag was higher then his arm so I had one of the lads holding it.
The first bag was empty before we knew it and I adjusted the last bag and I was happy to see the colour coming back to his face. When the second bag was empty we removed everything and put a bandage on the wound.

The lads put him into his bed and I let myself fall on the sofa. I was exhausted from this, I was doubting myself and the fact that I actually cared for him. It scared me to death but my mom always told me that Hate and Love are very close to each other.
Someone shook my shoulder and when I opened my eyes I was met by the Blue eyes of Niall and I quickly sat up.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" I asked them because it was only fair after what I did for them. "Yes, I think we all owe you." Liam said to me and the lads were nodding along. "I would say so yes." I confirmed because they did owe me big time.

"Well you probably already guessed it but we are in a gang." Liam told me and this I already had guessed after that attack. "No shit Sherlock." I rolled my eyes and that made Louis narrow his eyes a bit at me. "We are the most powerful one in the town but there is a new gang in the town who are trying to get Harry to join them." He explained and this made sense.

"Let me guess, Harry doesn't want this." I asked them and they all shook their heads. "No he doesn't but he started to change from the moment he had laid eyes on you and they know that." He told me and it was not really fair to blame me for this mess.

"So what you are saying is that they are trying to get Harry through me?" I asked them and I actually felt a bit scared about the thought. "Yes that would be correct." Liam confirmed and I felt a shiver run down my spine. "Well that sucks, so what happens now?" I asked them, trying to cover me fear but never in a million years did I saw this one coming.

"You are going to live with Harry." Liam told me without any emotions behind his eyes. I already shook my head. "OH HELL NO!" I yelled at him but he wasn't fazed at all. "You don't have a choice really." He told me but I wasn't agreeing on this. "The hell I do, if he wants to protect me, he should've stayed away from me!" I told them because if he hadn't come near me, this wouldn't have happened and I would;t be in any danger.

"I'm sorry Anna but you don't have a choice and we can do this the nice way or the other way." He threatened me, what the hell was that about. "Really you are threatening me?" I asked him shocked because that was how I felt right now, never had I thought that they would take away my freedom. "Nope, just telling you what is going to happen." he stated and my legs started moved towards the door. "Well I'm going home now." I walked towards the door and started to run but I was too late because Liam had caught me and put something over my mouth and nose and I felt myself slipping away.
