Mr. Styles

Chapter 26

Elena's P.O.V.

Mr. Liam is really funny. He even likes the color pink as much as I do. He said it's his favorite color. It was really nice talking to him. He never yelled at me or got annoyed from me talking to much. He just listened and laughed and he made the best peanut butter and jelly sandwich I've ever had. Sadly, after awhile he had to go home.

I giggled watching the screen. I grabbed my gummies and shoveled a handful into my mouth. Collins let me have a bunch of gummies tonight and he even let me have a bubble bath with lots of sparkles in it.

I pulled the blanket further up on my body and sighed. Lucille destroyed my room earlier and it took so long to fix it back to the way it was. My clothes were everywhere. There was dirt and garbage all over my bed and there was a horrible smell coming from it. I didn't even know what it was. I cried so much because she even messed up some of my stuffies and my favorite blanket. Luckily Collins helped me clean everything up and he made it look even better than it did before. It only took a few hours.

He even went out and got me three new stuffies and a new princess blanket.

When he got back he helped me put cream on my cuts and bruises and helped me ice my eye. He has been really nice to me since Greg left and it makes me feel important. I don't even know what happened to Greg. After I saw him in the kitchen, I didn't see him again.

"Ellie baby it's late. You should be asleep."

Mr. Styles entered my room and made his way over to me. He looked... different..?

He was sweaty and his hair was messy. His eyes looked darker than their usual green. It looked almost black. He had almost a crazed look in his eyes.

I sat up. "M-Mr. Styles are you okay?"

He didn't say anything.

He climbed in beside me and pulled the blankets over the both of us. He laid his head on my chest and sighed. "Baby please stop calling me 'Mr. Styles' it makes me feel old."

I felt his lips press against my neck. "Call me Harry, love."

It was silent for a long time.

"Did you shower and everything?" He asked. I nodded. "Collins let me take a bubble bath." His body shook as he laughed. "You are so cute."

He grabbed the packet of gummies from my hand and popped some into his mouth. "These are good baby." He flipped us over so that I was on top of him. He pulled me into his chest and kissed my forehead. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "I know it scared you when Gregory was here. Did he hurt you or do anything to make you feel uncomfortable?"

I clutched his shirt tighter. "H-He wanted to take me away..."

"He's not going to take you anywhere." He growled. "I'm here and I'm going to take care of you the best way that I know how."

Collins' P.O.V.

"Lucille listen to me... you had no right to invade Elena's personal things and destroy her room. She did nothing wrong to you. She doesn't do anything wrong at all. What the hell were you thinking?"

I could feel myself becoming more angry but I didn't want to yell. I'm not a yeller in the first place. Never have been.

Lucille rolled her eyes. "She got Greg fired. How am I supposed to see him and spend time with him now? This is all her fault!" I shook my head. "Lucille that is no excuse for what you did. You know that Elena is the sweetest person in the house. She barely even talked when Greg was around. Don't you understand how much she was suffering? She was miserable."

"Yeah but-"

"No buts." I said cutting her off. "What you did was wrong and you need to apologize to her. If you really want to be with someone as horrible as Greg then you can leave as well and live with him- wherever the hell he may be. But I will not let your behavior continue. I don't know what the fuck Greg has been telling you but you need to start thinking for your damn self. If I hear Elena tell me one thing... and I mean only one thing about you being mean to her or bothering her. I don't care how small of a thing that is, I will have you fired. You and I both know that you have nothing without this job. So I suggest you act right." 

She stood to her feet. "Oh shut up Collins! You don't have anything either! We all need this job! I'm angry because Greg doesn't have anything! He doesn't have a roof to sleep under! Or food to eat! He has nothing! Imagine if you were in his shoes! If Mr. Styles fired you right now you would be in the same boat!"

I chuckled and stood to my feet taking a step closer to her. I didn't raise my voice but I spoke curtly. "Lucille let me explain something to you. I have been working here for quite some time now. I own my own house that is already paid off. I own two cars and I actually own an apartment building full of tenants. So if I were to leave this job today, I will be perfect fine for years. I know how to take care of myself- which is clearly something that Greg has no idea how to do." I took another step closer to her. "I do this job because I want to not because I have to. You clearly aren't in the same situation as I am so I suggest you watch the attitude before you're homeless like Greg."

She didn't say anything.

I cleared my throat and adjusted my collar. "Now I expect you to give Elena an apology first thing in the morning."

A/N: Woahhhh Collins!! You go boy!

Seems like Collins really cares about Elena... and told Lucille off lol

But... seems like Harry cares as well... him and Elena spent some time together... thoughts?

I must know.... Team Harry or Team Collins..???
