Clash

I locked eyes with Bradley and there was just nothing human. I know I should be afraid now but I just became calm because if he really wanted me dead, then I would be okay with it, which sounded pathetic I know but it was better then to fear the person who was pathetic enough to end my life.

I couldn’t help but just smile at him, I saw this confused him as he thought I would be afraid of him but there wasn’t room for that anymore. What Bradley didn’t see was that Harry was moving, it was also an important factor for my current state. I didn’t need to be afraid when I had Harry to protect me even if it meant that I had to take some punches along the way.

Harry was sitting up and assessed his surrounding when his eyes fell on mine. I saw the shock in his green eyes because I must look like hell and with that gun presses against my head, I guess it didn’t look good. “Let her go Bradley.” This made Bradley spin around,
completely forgetting about me and the fact that he just moved his gun away. I quickly got up and almost groaned when I realized that I had dropped my gun earlier. This really wasn’t my day, there was nothing else that I could do then just hit him and that was exactly what I did.

I jumped on his back and started pounding on his head, which must hurt because I could feel him winch every time I hit him but he wasn’t impressed as he grabbed me and just threw me against a bloody wall. I heard Harry scream my name and I think it were his footsteps coming towards me. “Stop Harry.” I heard Bradley command and he actually did stop, which made me open my eyes and as Bradley had his gun aimed at me, I just turned towards the wall and closed my eyes. I was exhausted and I just wanted to sleep. “I need to see if she is okay Bradley.” I heard the urgency in Harry’s voice but Bradley laughed at him. “She will be dead if you take one more step towards her Harry.” Was the last thing I heard.



Harry

I looked at her and all I wanted was to get her out of here but that wasn’t happening when Bradley was still breathing and this was all becoming way too much. Every muscle in my body was hurting but I couldn’t curl up and sleep, not until I had killed him, which was really difficult and it was really not what I expected.

I didn’t think this through, I thought it would be easy to kill him but here I was bleeding like crazy because of Bradley and the fact that he had the upper hand didn’t make it any better. My ego had brought me in this damn situation and there was nothing I could do then to watch the woman I love getting killed slowly. I was getting more frustrated by the minute and I really needed a gun but there was no way I could get close to one, with Bradley calling the shorts but he had given me something I could use.

“Bradley if you let her life, I will stay with you.” I told him, which grabbed his attention and I took a step towards him. “What do you mean by that?” he questioned but I could hear the hope in his voice. “I will choose you instead of her.” I waved my hand at Anna, who still wasn’t moving. Bradley’s flickered to Anna and then back to me but in those few seconds I again had taken some steps towards Bradley but it was like he didn’t see it. “Really? You really would choose me over her?” he asked with hope laced through his voice and I nodded “I will, I never loved her, only you, I just tried to fight it and I’m so sorry.” I was getting through to him and when he lowered his gun I made my move.

I grabbed his wrist and took the gun away from him, when I heard a shot coming from behind us. I know I was hit and when I heard Bradley scream no my head fell to the ground but it wasn’t Bradley’s scream that I heard the loudest it was Anna’s. I hadn’t noticed that she had gotten up.

I heard footsteps approaching us fast and I saw Anna’s hand pick up the gun on the floor and the moment she tried to lift it she hit the ground hard. I heard her yelp out a cry from pain, she didn’t stay down though. I know she was fighting for our lives right now and I also know that she was fighting with to guys instead of one and that without a gun. I felt so proud of her but this needed to end, why wasn’t anyone helping us, where were the others?

It was like I pulled a trigger because not long after I heard Liam whisper my name and as I opened my eyes, I couldn’t be more relieved to be looking in the brown eyes of my best mate. “Anna?” I asked but he shook his head. “She’s not here mate.” That made me sit up, which hurt like hell. “Where is she?” Liam looked guilty as he shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know Harry.” He mumbled and as I tried to sit up properly, Liam gently pushed me down again. “It’s best if you don’t get up, you are severely hurt.” He explained but if Anna was in danger I had to protect her. Liam saw the battle in my eyes but still shook his head. “I send Niall out to look for her, don’t worry he will find her.” He tried to reassure me but it wasn’t working, I had never felt this anxious about anything. If she gets killed it will be my fault and there was no way, I could ever live with that.

That’s when we heard a gun go off multiple times and it made Liam jump up right away. He looked at me and back to where the noise was coming from. “Just go.” I told him and that was all it took for him to run towards the gun noise. With Liam out of the picture I got up slowly and even though it hurt like hell, as I was shot in my leg, there was no other way around and as I made my way I felt someone run passed me, I recognized the tattoos and I couldn’t help but smile at this because Louis had just ran past me.

When I finally entered the room, I was shocked to see a lot of people on the floor and to see Anna still standing was a miracle, it looked like she had ten lives instead of one. Her eyes immediately locked with mine the moment I stepped into the room and my eyes scanned the room for Louis but he was nowhere and I started to doubt myself, maybe I was hallucinating.

When I gave up my search for Louis, I focused back on Anna and I was shocked to see a few guys on the ground, she herself was covered in blood and I didn’t know if it was hers or from others but it made me haste towards her but the moment I was close enough I saw her eyes shift to something behind me and before I could turn, I knew I had made a mistake and we both heard the gun.

“HARRY NO.” Was all I heard before I went down again. I felt her hands on my face, I could feel her tremble and I wanted to tell her everything was alright but I couldn’t. I felt cold and I just wanted to close my eyes for just en few minutes. “Harry don’t close your eyes, please.” I heard her beg me but I couldn’t obey her, as my world turn to dark.



Anna


The moment I saw Bradley come into few, it was already to late as he pulled the trigger. Harr went down in an instant and I let myself fall on my knees and crawled to him. I grabbed his face between my hands and ordered him to keep his eyes open but he did not listen. I had to find the bullet, which was near his heart and when I saw the blood mark, I froze because this had been a really close call.

I was too late to get up to defend myself and as he grabbed me by my neck he actually lifted me and pulled me against a wall. There was nothing I could do to stop him, I was too weak. This had been a big mistake, we should have left this city instead of fighting Bradley because look were it brought us. I know that the guys were unconscious and Harry was fighting for his life and I was useless and in severe pain.

I closed my eyes and stopped fighting for breath because it wouldn’t take me anywhere. I was giving up when I heard a shot, which made me force my eyes open, as I felt wetness splatter on my face and what I saw in front of me, made me scream out in horror because Bradley was dead, as he was shot in the head.

But instead of falling backwards he fell against me, which made me throw up immediately. I went all over his body and as his hands were not on my neck any longer I started to push his body of off me and as he fell down next to me I could finally breathe again, which paired with couching until it hurts. I looked around with frantic eyes, when I spotted Louis sitting next to Harry, holding his fingers against his neck to see if he could feel a pulse but I couldn’t stand up any more and just let myself fall back against the wall.
