15. You will be safe

Esme

********

I see it in your eyes, in your eyes

This is my paradise

********

When Harry went to get me coffee I felt my eyes drift close once again but I heard the door open and I assumed it was him It was a little bit quick but I just thought there wasn't a long line, I heard the footsteps of him but when I saw the man in front of me my blood ran cold

I saw his brown hair and his hazel eyes, my eyes widen in shock, he didn't look threatening but I couldn't trust him, I was scared of him and I could finally admit it to myself

he took a step closer to me but I felt my body stiffen and I scoots closer to the head of the bed, considering I couldn't move that much without pain was not a good idea to run away from him

I saw him take another step closer to me and I looked away from him, "h-how are you?" he asks and I scoff, "I'm really great actually yeah I can walk and run and my ribs aren't even close to broken actually kind of a blessing thanks so much" my tone comes off a snarky and he gives me his look he gave me all the time the one to shut the fuck up or I'll hit you one

"I didn't mean what I did to you last night and I....came to apologize" he says but he can't even look me in the eye, fuck this

"I don't accept it Patrick, I don't even remember what you said to me last night but I do know something happened and you fucking did bad things to me" I snap and he growls, "You really don't remember what was said last night?" he says like he's angry and I shake my head, "I was mad because you and Harry fucked" he snaps and I look at him like he's crazy, I've never even kissed him

"What are you talking about we've never even done anything Patrick" I laugh out of embarrassment for him and he steps forward, "why can't you just tell me the truth do you want to get hurt again?" he snaps and I shut my mouth, I really don't want to get hurt again, "Patrick just leave I already told you we are over" I scoff and he gets to the edge of my bed grabbing the sheets in his hands and he pulls on them, I look into his eyes and I see anger pour out of them, I see Niall walk past my closed door and I make sure to make eye-contact with him, he looks in the room now and he seems someone who isn't Harry he opens the door to my room and I see Louis and Zayn trail behind him, Niall sits in the corner and Patrick stares at him in shock as if he wasn't supposed to be caught, I see Liam try to enter the room but I see Niall say something to him, "find harry"

I see Louis and Zayn grab him from both sides of him and he struggles to get out I see Zayn whip him back and I grip onto the sheets that are underneath me, "you need to back off, how did you even get in here?" Zayn grunts and Patrick stops trying to get out of their grip, "I needed to talk to Esme and I just walked in like anyone would" he scoffs and Niall sighs, "she obviously doesn't want to talk to you don't you think you did enough" Niall rolls his eyes and Patrick doesn't say a thing

"she looked scared when we came in what did you do?" Zayn asks and Patrick doesn't say anything, "Esme?" Zayn looks towards me and I meet his eyes, "he was getting angry he was starting to come closer to me" I mumble out and Niall shakes his head, "Patrick mate, what did we tell you about staying away from her, do we need to make this a thing?" he asks and balls up his fists, "what does that mean Niall?" Patrick asks him and the boys smirk

"we won't hesitate to beat the shit out you" Niall laughs and Patrick scoffs, "I'll tell my father and get you fired" he scoffs and I smile a tiny bit, "you going to tell daddy really, not even man enough to fight us back cute" he laughs and so does Zayn

Patrick gets flustered and I see Harry step in the room, I see his eyes on Patrick but when they drift to me he looks concerned, I look down avoiding eye-contact, "what are you doing here" he asks in his gruff voice and he walks up to Patrick, "I wanted to come and see her" I hear Patricks voice come out and Harry scoffs, "your the reason she's in here, leave" he snaps and Patrick doesn't do anything

"she knows that I didn't mean what I did, I love her" Patrick has the audacity to say and my eyes widen in shock, he doesn't love you Esme, "yea and I love my mom but I don't bash her skull in because I love her so much, you sound stupid" Harry snaps back with a witty remark of course and I smile at his words, I look at Patrick and he looks very angry which makes me very nervous

"fuck off harry just let me be alone with her" Patrick says getting fed up and Harry laughs, "your kidding right, leave you alone with her?" he asks and I shuffle around the bed feeling uncomfortable. I see Patrick nod and I see Harry take a breath in "no way, leave Patrick" Harry says and Patrick tries to step forward to get closer to me I flinch but Louis and Zayn hold him back, "leave her the fuck alone from now on, she doesn't want anything to do with you Patrick look at her" I feel hot tears start to boil in my eyes as Patrick looks towards me something in his eyes change again and he looks back towards Harry, "fine I'll go" he mumbles and Louis and Zayn look to Harry, he nods at them and they let him go, he shrugs them off and he walks towards the door, "when I tell my father about this he won't be happy" he says and Harry smirks waving goodbye to him

the door closes and Harry walks over to me, "you alright goldie? he uses my nickname and I sniffle, "I'm terrified of him, what if Matthew makes me be with him" I say and he sits on the bed taking my hand, he wipes my tears with the other, "I won't let him Esme, you will be safe as long as we all stick together" he says and he turns his head looking at everyone in the room they nod and I look at him again, "you will be safe" he says confidently and I smile leaning my forehead on his, god I'm soft for him, my eyes drift down to his lips and I feel butterflies in my stomach

I hear the door pull open and I move myself away from Harry a little bit, he looks at the door and Ember walks in, she looks at all of us and I look down to her hands to see three Mcdonald's bags in her hand, Louis walks over to her and he kisses her taking one of the bags from her hand

"what happened? it seems tense as fuck" she says passing out the food and Harry sighs, "Patrick came and tried to get to Esme" Harry says and Ember stares at me, she walks over and sits next to me, "are you okay?" she asks looking concerned and I nod, "I'm fine now it was just scary" I shrug and she side hugs me not trying to cause me any pain which I'm glad

"I got you what you always order" she smiles and she hands me a large fry and a chicken sandwich with extra mayo, I smile and I unwrap the sandwich taking a bite, it tastes very very good since this is my first meal since before I was in the hospital, I chow it down and I see Harry got a medium fry and a burger with extra pickles, he scoots closer to me and I take a fry from him, "you have fries Goldie don't steal mine" he whines and I laugh, "I love fries though" I pout and he feeds me one of his, "thank you" I whisper and he nods

after we're done with dinner the boys and Ember leave to let me sleep but Harry stays behind, "you don't want to sleep in your comfy bed?" I ask him and he shakes his head, "can't sleep if your here and not safe at home" he shrugs and I feel my heart light up, I scoot over and he lays next to me, "sleep for a little Esme then you can go back home" he says and I nod, "thank you smiley" I say and he closes his eyes, "for what?"

"for being golden" I whisper and he leaves his hand in mine and I flutter my eyes close to sleep
