Clash

“Anna wait!” I heard Louis yell my name and the fact it was Louis who went after me, made me stop. “What do you want Louis?” I didn’t turn around but I know he was standing behind me. “Thank you for doing this, I know it wasn’t easy but he will understand eventually.” This made me turn and when I saw the smile on his face, I took a step towards him, he took a step back when he saw the look on my face.

“I'm happy that you approve, I’m happy that you are happy that I just broke his heart Louis.” I said sarcastically and now I get why he was so friendly to me. “It had to be done because he was still holding on to hope that you would come back to him and I was sick of it.” I slapped him hard and got really into his face. “Someday you will pay for treating me like crap Louis and don’t think I will have your back when that time comes.” That’s when I walked away. I didn’t wait for Liam as I walked straight to a waiting cab.

I told him were to go and I couldn’t be happier to be in my living room surrounded by my own things when someone knocked on my door. “Can’t get a break can I?” I mumbled to myself as I made my way to the door, never once thinking about grabbing my gun and so without thinking I pulled my door open only to be greeted by Harry’s angry look. I wanted to grab my gun but Harry knew what I was going to do and before I could even move he had me pinned down to the wall. He shut the door with his foot, I couldn’t think straight not while he was holding me like this because this brought back memories that I didn’t want.

I took me a few seconds to gain back my thoughts but when they were back I felt a rage coming over me and Harry saw this to but he didn’t let go of my hands, instead he closed the space that was between us, his face was so close that I could see the blue under his eyes, that I hadn’t noticed before. This made me hesitate for second but that second was gone before we both knew it because next thing I know I knee him straight in his balls, which makes him fall on his knees and it gives me the space I needed to grab my gun.

I aimed it on Harry without trembling hands and Harry crawled back up but didn’t approach me. He held up his hands as if he was surrendering but I wasn’t falling for it. “Get out!” I said through clenched teeth but he wasn’t moving and at a certain point a smirk appeared on his face when he saw I wasn’t going to shoot him. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and just waited for me to lower my gun but that wasn’t going to happen. We stared at each other and I saw humor in his eyes and that’s when I tightened the grip on my gun. “How’s Niall?” was the first thing he said in what felt like an hour, this made me pull of the safety.

“Not dead I presume?” He was pushing his limits as he started walking towards me. “Stop.” I warned him but he didn’t look impressed. He kept walking and only stopped when my gun was against his chest. “You are not going to shoot me.” He said with confidence but I wasn’t so sure. He was reaching for my gun and the moment his hand touched mine I felt the familiar thrill of him touching me and that threw me off for just a second, which he took full advantage off, as he pried the gun from my hands. He put the gun in the exact same place as I had it just a few minutes ago.

“Give me back my gun Harry.” I tried to sound annoyed but to be honest I was scared because now I had nothing to protect myself with. “As if Anna. Now again, he is still alive right?” I turned my head away but he wasn’t having my silent treatment and next thing I know he has grabbed me by my throat. In this moment I actually feared for my life as he brought his face even closer.

“Don’t make me ask again.” He said menacingly but all I could think off was that I had to keep breathing, which was difficult to say the least as he was actually strangling me. The only thing I could do was give him a nod and in that moment he let me fall onto the ground. I was gasping for air when he let himself fall on my couch, as if he belonged there. He put his dirty boots on my table and in that split second I was up and I ran to the door and the moment I tried to pull it open I heard the click of my own gun. I stopped whatever I was doing but I didn’t turn around, I just waited because there was no way I was going to be mistreated by a traitor.

“Get away from the door Anna, we need to have a little talk.” I wasn’t planning on listening to him and without thinking about anything else I pulled the door open and I ran for it. I took the stairs and the moment I placed my foot outside the building Harry’s strong arm pulled me back. “Don’t even think about it.” He said in my ear. I closed my eyes as he carried me back upstairs. He threw me on the couch, rather harshly. I heard him lock my door and I know I was doomed, there was no way I could escape now. I sighed and sat up but that was all I did, I kept my eyes on my hands. I felt him sit next to me but I still didn’t look up and I waited for him to say something. “Anna, Anna, Anna.” He sounded disappointed and I was wondering why that was because I hadn’t really done anything that could disappoint him, except for sleeping with Niall but then again he was the one who betrayed us.

“Why Niall?” I immediately looked up when he said that because why would he care? “Why not?” I shot back, which earned me a dirty look. “I’m not even kidding Anna, why Niall and why couldn’t you just wait?” That’s when my mouth fell open with a pop. “Are you kidding me. I thought you were dead and I was hurt. Niall was there for me and it just happened. It’s not like I wanted it and I did fight it but then something shifted between us and it kind of happened but I don’t really see why this is any of your fucking business as you betrayed us even before this all happened.” I know I wasn’t being fair but than again why should I. He was the one who worked for Bradley so I really didn’t owe him anything.

“Not by choice.” He mumbled this made me curious. “What do you mean by that?” I demanded but he just shook his head. Now he looked defeated and I had to stop myself from comforting him, so I sat on my hands just in case. “I can’t tell you but I need to know something.” He had his body turned to me and I held my breath when he touched the bruises on my neck, which he caused, he even sighed deeply when he stroked the bruises. “Do you love Niall?” I didn’t expect that one but I did know the answer to it.

“I do but not the way he wants me to.” I said gently, forgetting about the anger I felt just a few minutes ago. He stopped stroking my neck and I watched him stand up and place the gun back on the table. “That’s all I needed to know.” With that he walked out of my apartment, leaving me alone completely in shock.
