“I found her.” Nobody seemed surprised though and continued there scheming. “Anna, I’m sorry.” Niall was the only one who approached us but he kept his distance. I was happy to see that he didn’t have a black eye or some other infliction. “It’s okay Niall.” I wasn’t in the mood to be angry at him or anyone else, except for Bradley. Niall walked back to Liam who was deep into the computer, doing whatever he was doing. Harry had his hand on the small of my back and directed me into the bedroom. I put the bags on my bed and started to unpack them as if there was nothing going on.

“We need to talk Anna.” He sounded way too serious, which made me stop unpacking and look up. He was sitting in the chair in front of the window and he actually looked really serious and I know this wasn’t really about us but more about the gang. “What do you want to talk about?” I asked, walking towards him. Je pulled me on his lap as soon as I was in reach and I let him.

“They want me back in charge.” He was assessing my mood but I really didn’t care and I was happy that they wanted him back in charge because this meant that I could do whatever I wanted without the responsibility of planning revenge plots. Maybe I could even go back to school next week because I really enjoyed going to school and I actually made a friend.

“Okay, you have my blessing.” I got up and walked to the safe in the corner of my room and opened it. I had all Harry’s papers in there, I mean yes I had used his money for some things but most of it was still intact and waiting for him. I handed it over to him and we began discussing what was still left of his money and it surprised him that I didn’t spend that much. Okay yes I bought the house and paid for the furniture and clothes and stuff but I always shop at Primark and I never buy expensive groceries.

The only expensive thing I had bought was a MacBook, after buying the house but that was about it. “How is it possible that there is still so much left?” Harry asked genuinely curious. I shrugged and look at him as if he was stupid.

“It’s your money Harry and I never felt comfortable spending it, so I only spent it when it was absolutely necessary.” I explained to him and that made him soften up a bit.
“I left that money to you, you know that right?” He asked gently and I nodded, because I did know that but I didn’t want it.

“I know Harry but it just didn’t feel good.” He hugged me tightly and kissed me on my forehead. “Thank you love.” We sat like this for a few seconds when Liam appeared.
“I’m sorry to interrupt but we need to talk to you both.” We got up and I waited for Harry to go first but to my surprise he took my hand and pulled me with him. Something had changed between us and I never thought he would give me so much respect in front of everyone. “Anna and I have discussed it and from now on I’m back in charge, do you all agree with this?” He asked politely and that threw some of them off for a bit but smiled replaced their confusion.

People were mumbling no and the only hesitation was coming from Niall but he didn’t say anything but just stood against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was staring at our hands with a scowl on his face and the moment he saw that I was looking at him, he turned his face towards the window.

“Good to hear but I want you to know that Anna will be my right hand and as she is the only one with some experience of handling wounds, she will be our “nurse” and Liam will be the one who you can talk to if you want to know about certain errands.” He finished getting a thumbs up from Liam but I could almost here the radars going of in their heads, to why Niall wasn’t getting some important role.

“What about Niall?” Olly asked and that made harry narrow his eyes. “I don’t have to explain myself.” I put my hand on his arm and shook my head slightly in disapproval
“You owe them an explanation.” I told him under my breath but before he even had a chance to explain, Niall opened his mouth, “I’m not important anymore because I fucked his girlfriend, Olly.” He said and a silence washed over us. I felt the blood withdrawn from my face as I spun around to face Niall.

Harry didn’t even react to this but was actually holding my arm tightly, as if he knew what I was going to do. “Love put away the gun.” He whispered urgently in my ear and that’s when I realised that I was pointing my gun at Niall. I was really shocked about this because I never would hurt him like that, not on purpose that it. I put gun back in my waistband and pulled myself out of Harry’s grip.

“Niall, can I have a word?” I demanded and he actually cam with me but not before I saw the look on his face when he looked at Harry. He was feeling good about himself but after this talk he wouldn’t look like that anymore, that was one thing I knew for sure. I walked out of the apartment and waited until Niall had joined me, which didn’t take long.

“What do you want?”

“Why would you say something like that?” I asked him bur he shrugged. “Don’t know but it is the truth.” He said as if it couldn’t hurt anyone.

“Nobody is denying that Niall but does everyone needs to know about this?” This made him think and a shameful expression appeared on his face. He shook his head slightly “No I suppose not but I’m just so angry.” I wanted to hug him but I couldn’t do that. “I know that but please keep what happened between us, between us.” I pleaded because I didn’t want anyone to think any less of me or him for that matter.

“Okay, I wont bring it up again, I promise.” I thanked him and walked back inside. Harry was bended over the laptop but I could see that he wasn’t really paying attention and the moment we stepped back in, he looked up and left Liam to vent for himself.

“Are you okay?” He asked whilst gently grabbing the side of my face. I closed my eyes and enjoyed his touch. “Yes, I’m fine.” I told him under my breath. I know he was checking if I didn’t beat up Niall but I hadn’t touched him, I just made him realize that he was wrong.
“So what is everyone doing because as much as I like the company, I really am tired.” I told Harry and that made him worry immediately, it was like he remembered that I was beaten up by Louis, just yesterday and that I actually needed to get some rest. “Al right everyone, I think we did enough for today, we will be at it tomorrow morning.” He told everyone and they all listened as if he wasn’t gone for a few months. “Are we meeting here again?” Liam asked and Harry nodded “I will get us a headquarter soon but for now let’s just meet here and make sure you don’t get noticed by anyone.”

We said our goodbyes and when the last one was out of the door, I could finally let myself fall on the couch. This had literally drained me and I just had no energy left. I was happy that Harry was back in charge and that I just had to stand by and watch. I let Liam do the hard work because I really didn’t want to have anything to do with all the planning.

Harry’s Pov;

When I returned from talking to Liam, I found Anna fast asleep on the couch. She must really have been exhausted from everything and to be honest I had completely forgotten about the fight she had with Louis yesterday even though she still had bruises on her face.
This was a long day and I was proud of myself for not killing Niall when he said that he fucked Anna. The thought that they actually had done it made me sick to my stomach and for him to tell everyone that they.

I stopped myself because it would only drive me insane and that’s the last thing I needed. I needed a clear head and Niall was not the one who would cloud it, if anyone should cloud it, it was Anna. I know deep down she did regret her decision of sleeping with Niall but she she didn’t want to admit that to herself, let alone to me, so I really needed to let it go and just focus on the future with her.

I walked over to the couch and kneelt down so I was at eye sight with her. “Anna, love.” I shook her gently and she actually opened her eyes in alarm.

“Calm down, you just fell asleep on the couch.” I told her gently and she immediately calmed down as she looked me up and down. “Sorry.” She wishpered and I couldn’t help but smile at her because she was so cute when she was like this, with her red cheeks and sleepy eyes.

“Let’s move to the bed.”
