Struggle - H.S.

“Oomph” was all I said before getting lifted from the ground once again. I had my eyes wide open by now. Harry was indeed the one who was holding me once again. I looked around me frantically to see if someone was shot but when I saw all five lads running towards the car I was relieved to see them all safe and sound. I felt myself slipping away again; I was just so tired from everything.

“Anna I need you to stay awake, please?” Harry was pleading with me now but I couldn’t fight it any longer. “Shit Niall!!!” I heard him scream faintly. I did notice the way I was being hoisted into another set of arms. I heard doors slamming and that’s when it all became black.



Harry


The moment I realised she was gone, was like my world had shattered but there was no time to relish in it. I had to get her back and as Bradley had her I really feared for her life. He was ruthless and would do anything to get to me. I called the lads for a meeting. “Thank you all for coming on short notice!” I said, they all looked really impatient at me.

“Why are we here Harry?” Louis asked in his cold voice. “They took Anna.” I said and that was enough to make Liam and Niall jump from the couch. “What are we sitting here for then, let’s get her back.” Niall said anxiously, which wasn’t really good as he did reckless things when he was like that.

“Niall we can’t just barge in, first of we don’t know were they are keeping here, do we now?” Liam said and that made Niall calm down a bit. “So what’s the plan Harry?” Zayn asked slowly. “I’m not sure but if they really want me they will probably send a message real soon.” I told them and they nodded. I had to get out of this room for a second. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and downed all in once. “Harry?” I was a bit startled but realised it was just Louis. “What do you want Louis?” I asked him, as I still was a bit pissed off at him for kissing Anna.

“I’m really sorry that they got Anna but is she really worth saving?” I couldn’t believe my ears. Is he really that stupid. Before I knew what I was doing I grabbed him yet again by his throat and smashed him into the wall next to the door.

“I SUGGEST YOU TAKE THAT BACK!“ I yelled at him. Followed by the lads who all barged in at the same time. “Harry what the hell are you doing, let go off him. Zayn yelled at me but I couldn’t think straight right now as I saw black spots everywhere. “Harry let go of him.” Liam spoke softly behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder and it calmed me down a bit. Before I let Louis completely go I pulled my arm back and knocked him out. He sagged on the floor but I couldn’t give a shit about that right now. He had tested my limits too much these last couple of days. He needs to know who is in charge and if this is the way to show him that, so be it. I walked back to my bottle of water and just left them in there to take care of Louis.

I walked up the stairs that will lead me into Anna’s room and I sat down on her bed. This room was oozing Anna, the little balcony suited her the most. She didn’t know this but I watched her write a lot of times. If she knew I was watching her she would definitely kill me, she already hated my guts, I really didn’t need her to kill me. “HARRY, YOUR PHONE!” Liam yelled from downstairs I quickly ran downstairs and snatched it from the table. I opened the message and was shocked to see what Bradley had done to her.

He had tortured her, she had bloody cuts all over her beautiful back. I felt my rage taking over and I had almost reached the door when Niall pulled me back. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked furious. “I’m going to get Anna back, you read the message, we only have two hours before he..” I couldn’t even finish the sentence. “We can’t rush into this, we have to make up a plan, otherwise we all get killed.” Niall said and he was right but we had to make one quickly because I wasn’t sure how much longer I could just sit here.

“Okay, Liam did you find where Bradley lives?” I asked him directly and when I saw his frustrated look, I knew the answer. “Alright well keep looking then.” I said to him, this earned me a low growl. “Do we have weapons we can use?” I asked Zayn, he nodded, yes we have guns but I’m not a big fan of using them you know this.” He said, he was right we didn’t like to use guns, we much rather used force or knives. “This time we are going to use them but only if necessary.

“I know where Bradley lives.” I heard a small voice say. I turned around and saw Louis standing in the door opening. His face was blue by now, serves him right. “All right tell use then.” I demanded and he sighed visibly. “You know that rich neighbourhood?” he said and I nodded. “He lives there in a large white house.” I rolled my eyes because even though he made it easier for us to find her, he still wasn’t really clear, I mean there could be so much white houses there.

“You don’t have a number or something?” I asked him, he shook his head. “Harry it’s the only white house in that street.” He explained. This was much more helping me. I quickly glanced at the clock to see we were too late and before I knew it I got another message, this time he send a clip for me to watch and what I saw there made my blood run cold. He was raping my girl; she obviously didn’t want it, as she tried to kick him off of her. The guys had assembled themselves behind me as they watched it as well. “My god.” They mumbled in unison.

“Alright we have to move now.” Louis said surprisingly. I nodded and grabbed the car keys. We all grabbed guns and I put a knife in my boot. If Bradley wanted war he could get it. We parked the van in front of the house, as we found it really easily. It was 2am by now, we waited till nightfall and as soon as the last light went off we crawled out of the van. We made our way into the house. They didn’t put on an alarm suckers. We made our way upstairs and checked all the rooms carefully not to wake anyone up.

My heart was beating into my chest, as the adrenaline kicked in. When we reached the door at end of the hall we knew she was behind it. “Alright guys, you keep watch and I will het Anna out.” I whispered softly. I opened the door and was shocked of the way she was looking. She was tied to the bed but she did have clean clothes on. I grabbed my knife from my boot and cut the robes carefully. I made sure to support her gently before cutting them, I didn’t want her to experience any more pain. She didn’t open her eyes once and that really worried me but there was no time to investigate if there was something wrong. We needed to get out of this damn house!

“Liam open the door.” I said softly in the hope he had heard me. I walked through the door and the were all shocked at the sight of Anna. “We have to move guys, we will fix her up when we get home but for now move!” I demanded. They surrounded us whilst we sneaked out of the house. At a certain point we saw a light being switched on. “WHERE IS ANNA?!” WE heard someone scream. “Shit” I mumbled and started to speed walk with her still secured in my arms. We heard a shot from the house and I let myself fall for a few seconds, just to be safe.

I know I had hurt her as she said “Oomph!” but I didn’t have time for that right now, I picked her up again and started to run again, I noticed that she was looking at me with wide eyes. I was happy to see she was awake but they dropped again really fast. “Anna, I need you to stay awake.” She tried but failed this wasn’t good. “Shit, Niall!” I yelled, he came running right away. “I need you to take her into the car.” I said to him while giving him Anna. I quickly jumped into the drivers seat and raced out of the street to Anna’s home. “Is everyone okay?” I quickly asked but the only one who didn’t gave me an answer was Zayn. “Zayn are you okay mate?” I asked him but still nothing.

“Zayn come on, Liam check on him please!” Liam got out of his seat and crawled to the backseat where Zayn was sitting. Liam didn’t say anything for what felt like ages but what he said was something I had never expected.

“Harry Zayn is..”
