Clash

Louis looked sinister and I was not sure if I should play the friend card because he looked like he wasn’t be reasoned with. “Louis, you don’t want to do this.” I was walking towards him in a slow pace because I really didn’t want to set him off and kill Anna or me.

“You don’t know what I want Harry.” He was right in my face now but he wasn’t using his gun. It was like a staring contest and it felt a bit odd to be honest. He was stalling time and I knew it but what could I do about that, I mean I was alone and the shop was filled with gang members. “Al right, that’s fair enough but what has Anna have t do with this?” I asked him, throwing a quick glance in her direction, just to be sure that she was still breathing and that when I saw her opening her eyes.

I focussed back on Louis, hopefully he didn’t notice that Anna was awake because that would be her death. Bradley was still in the room keeping an eye on the situation but it was like they forgot that Anna wasn’t that innocent girl he had taken at first. She was a trained gang member and she wasn’t going to come with him without a fight.

“Lou come on, you don’t want to do this.” I pleaded again and he just kept smiling, which freaked me out but I couldn’t flinch now. “This is your own fault, leaving her in charge, how stupid could you be?” he was raising his voice and I could see him tremble, which was an odd thing to see and I was lost, why didn’t he like her, she never did anything to him and she surely didn’t ask to be part of a gang, that was all me so if he wanted to be angry at someone he should be angry at me. “It still doesn’t explain why you would want to hurt her.” I know I was pushing my luck but I couldn’t solve anything if I didn’t know what was wrong in the first place. “It should’ve been me, we were brothers and instead you just left everything to her, she was all you could see and I hated every single moment of it. It was us against the world and that ended as soon as you laid eyes on her.” He yelled at me and I was taken back for a second. I had to process this but I know he was right about only be able to see her and it maybe wasn’t fair for them.

“I’m sorry Louis, I never meant to hurt you but you will understand when you find someone for yourself.” I told him but I know I had run out of luck because he put the gun against my chest. Never in a million years had I expected what happened next. Anna jumped up from her position and actually grabbed Louis by his arm and yanked him back. I never thought he would budge but he did and Anna worked him to the ground. She hit him hard and I could hear the contact it made, it wasn’t enough to knock him out but enough to let him drop the gun, she couldn’t reach it because Louis had turned her around and was beating her, which she mostly deflected but it did give me an opportunity to grab the gun, which I did immediately.

That’s when I heard a crack and it came from the fighting. I snapped back to them and saw that this time Anna sat on top of Louis and Louis was actually unconscious. She looked like a down right mess though and he, well he should think twice about trying to hurt her. She got up and patted the dust from her clothes, she spitted out the blood that was in her mouth and whilst doing that, she looked like a total badass. She looked at me and tried to smile, which made me smile. I mean she looked okay even though there was blood everywhere.

I turned my attention back to Bradley who had assed the situation but the odd thing was that he was smiling at the both of us. “Harry and Anna, how wonderful and Anna, my on my what have you changed but if you two would excuse me.” I wasn’t sure what he was talking about when suddenly the window blew from it’s sockets. My ears were ringing and when I opened my eyes Bradley was gone. The people around us stared at us in horror and I know this must all seem so terrible, not because I looked like a mess but because of Anna and an unconscious Louis. We had to get out of there before the cops would arrive “Harry you have to carry Louis, we can’t leave him here.” I was surprised when she said that but I still did what she asked.

“Bring him to the hospital and I will meet you back at the apartment.” She held up a good front but I heard her voice falter slightly. She needed the get checked out as well but I knew from personal experience that she wasn’t coming with us to the hospital, which could only mean one thing she was going to take care of it herself. We parted way’s and when I saw her disappear into the apartment building I quickly made my way to the hospital with Louis.

I ran into the ER and when the nurses spotted us they came running with a stretcher, where I put Louis and they immediately ran towards the emergency room where I couldn’t go. They told me a doctor would contact me as soon as they had helped him and that was fine with me. I really wanted to go home to check on Anna but my head told me to stay put and just wait it out, which I did. I sat down on a chair and filled out a contact document, which was required. Luckily for me I knew all Louis’s details, which was my job after all. I didn’t even know that Anna was that dangerous, I mean she probably could’ve killed him, if she wanted to but something in her told her not to do that.

It was like she knew something I didn’t and she actually pitied Louis. I had to find out what was going on but first I needed to know if he was okay and this waiting made me anxious. It also made me think about the mistakes I had made when I gave myself over to Bradley to safe everyone. It was the most stupid thing ever because look what had happened because of that decision. I lost Anna almost to Niall, who went after her relentlessly and the thing was I couldn’t be that angry about it because I pushed her right into his waiting arms and the other thing was, the gang had fallen apart because Anna didn’t saw a way to beat us and I know that is because she couldn’t stand the thought of me getting seriously hurt even though she would never admit to something like that. My decision also made Louis nuts and look where that took him, on the intensive care fighting for his life.

I should’ve fought for them but instead of doing that, I betrayed every single one of them. I had to fix this and I needed my friends back to get rid of Bradley because the terror had to stop. I couldn’t bare seeing Louis losing his mind like that and the fact that Anna had to learn herself to kill other people in cold blood almost killed me.

“Sir?” I looked up from my hands and saw a doctor standing in front of me. I quickly got up and shook his hand. “Doctor, how is Louis doing?” I asked him but I saw the worried expression on his face. “Does mr. Tomlinson take drugs?” he asked in his serious voice and if I knew Bradley, then he did. “I think he was forced in taking them, why?” I asked him worried. I felt my heart beat against my chest because I know what could happen to people who take Bradley’s drugs.

“He had a lot of heroin in his system but we took care of it and his wounds are also taken care of, can you tell me what happened?” he asked and this was my cue to leave. “I really don’t know, I just found him like this, is he going to be okay?” I asked him and he nodded slightly.

“He will be fine but we want him in a rehabilitation clinic, is there someone we can call to get permission?” I shook my head because he didn’t have anyone except for me. “No but I can sign those papers.” I told him because even though I wasn’t a big fan of rehabs this would definitely keep him safe. “Is he your boyfriend?” The doctor asked, which made me focus on him again.

“No I’m not but I’m his family.” I told him and that was enough for the doctor. “Then please sign these and we will take care of him. You can visit him once a week during his stay here.” The doctor told me while I was signing the papers and when I was done I quickly made my way back home.

Anna’s pov:

The moment I walked through my door, I allowed myself to let the pain wash over me. I was exhausted and in so much pain that I wanted to kill myself, never had I thought that Louis would turn against us but then again he never really liked me in the first place. I knew the reason why he didn’t like me but he made me swear that I wouldn’t say this to anyone, which I didn’t but now I regretted not telling at least Harry.


When I came by and saw Louis with his gun pointed at Harry I saw no other option than to get him away from Harry and if this would end up ugly for me then so be it. I owed Harry my life and so while Harry was distracting him I got up swiftly and yanked Louis’s arm back and to be honest I didn’t expect him to budge but he did and that’s when I hit him sending him straight to the ground.

I don’t know how many time I hit him before he turned us around and began to beat me hard. I saw stars a few times and I could feel every pounce I got, I felt the blood in my mouth and as much as I tried to block his blows, he still got through. I know Harry had grabbed the gun but he was focussing on Bradley and eventually I got the upper hand and turned us around. I had to finish this so I hit him so hard that I could feel the crack of his nose. He was out immediately and I felt so guilty for this but this was the only option .

I got up and next thing I know the window blows out of its sockets and Bradley disappears from the room. Harry wanted to leave but I made him take Louis to the hospital because even though I hate his guts, I didn’t want him to die because this was out of his hands as he was sedated.

I sighed deeply as I made my way into the shower and when I saw myself in the mirror, I was shocked I looked like I was run over by something really heavy. I grabbed a towel and the first aid kit and began to clean my wounds. I was a mess but I was still alive so that counted for something I guess. After a few painful minutes I was happy to see the clean face that was staring back at me. The cuts had stopped bleeding, my teeth were clean again and I was happy I didn’t loose or break a tooth. I stitched up the cuts that needed stitching and every second it felt like I was going to hell, I needed something to sedate the pain. I rummaged through the medicine cabinet and was happy to find a painkiller. I quickly took one and walked over to my bed, which was still a mess after Harry had left it. I could feel the painkillers do it’s job and when my head hit the pillow I was gone.
