Deal With The Devil H.S.

4.

Warning: Violence and abuse

"God stood me up, and I don't know why."

Harry and I managed to get Brooklyn's body out of my apartment without anyone noticing. I called Liam and I had to explain everything to him.

First I explained that Harry's guards brought me up to his apartment. Then I had to explain that Charles and Arthur were coming back into town. Of course, had to explain our plan to team up and take out our fathers.

Then I explained Brooklyn. How Charles sent her to me to occupy me. I explained how I had to kill her and then Harry came to my place.

Oh and I almost forgot to tell him Harry is Hades.

"Harry Styles is Hades?" Liam was pacing around my apartment.

"Surprised me too," I nodded my head and stared at the wall. "I'm scared Li," I couldn't help but fear what my father was going to do when he gets into town. Liam sat down next to me and put his arm around me, pulling me close to him.

"He isn't going to touch you," He whispered and kissed the top of my head.

"You don't know him like I do Liam," No one knows what he's capable of like I do.

~~~~~

"I didn't raise my daughter to do these despicable acts," He towered over me.

"Daddy you kill people," My voice wavered as I tried to persuade him to let me go. "I love her," I met his eyes. He laughed dryly as he walked backward.

"Bring her out," My heart dropped to my stomach as Arthur dragged Beth's lifeless body into the room. He let her fall to the ground. Oh my God, there was blood everywhere.

"Bethy?" I croaked out she lay motionless in front of me. "What did you do?" I looked up at my dad. My tears made my vision so blurry I could barely see him.

"I gave her what she deserved," He looked down at her. "Now she's burning in Hell," He took a step closer to me and bent down to my level. "That's where you're going to end up if you don't give in," His spit hit me in the face as he talked.

"I can't change!" This was the first time I really yelled at him. "Why do you think it's so bad to love? Is it because mom died?" My voice broke.

"That is all bullshit!" I flinched at the volume of his voice. "You're just doing this because you like to disappoint me!" I could only choke out a sob at his harsh words.

I heard another scream through the walls. It was a blood-curdling scream.

"Who else are you doing this to?" The thought of anyone else going through this hurts even worse. My father shook his head and laughed, walking out of the room.

"Please!" I ran towards the door, but it was slammed in my face. I heard the lock turn and all I could do was scream. "Daddy I'm sorry please just let me out," I banged on the thick metal door.

"Father please!" I heard the scream again. I ran over to the wall and sat next to it. I pressed my ear up against the door. "No. No. No," I flinched as he screamed at the tops of his lungs.

I heard the door shut. All I could hear now was the boy crying.

"Hello?" I tried yelling loud enough to get his attention. I heard shuffling on the other side of the wall.

"Hello?" I couldn't help but smile when I heard his voice.

"What did you do to get in here?" I wanted to get to know my neighbor.

"I painted my nails," I furrowed my eyebrows. He is getting tortured for painting his nails? "You?"

"My dad and his friend caught me with my girlfriend," I looked over at Beth's body. "He killed her," I choked out a loud sob.

"I'm sorry," He coughed as he talked. It was silent for a while. "If it makes you feel any better my father has killed every friend I've had," He sounded so broken.

"Beth was the only friend I had," I can't believe she's dead in front of me. "She didn't know about any of this," My eyes started to water again. "And then I fell in love with her," I hugged my knees up to my chest.

"What's it like?" He sounded so innocent. "To fall in love," He had a cute british accent.

"It's like the giddy feeling you get in your stomach when you have a crush," I laughed softly. "But it's that feeling all of the time," I straightened my back. "The person could simply breathe and it would be the most beautiful sound you've ever heard," I looked at the ceiling and smiled.

"It sounds beautiful," I smiled to myself. Knowing I could calm his thoughts for even a second makes me happy. "I think you'll find love again," I furrowed my eyebrows. "Someone as kind as you deserves all the love in the world," His words alone made me want to cry.

"You'll find love," He wasn't the only one who deserved love. "I've done horrible things, so if I deserve love, you do too," I hope that we could be free. Him especially.

"Jane," I saw a hand wave in front of my face. I snapped out of my haze and noticed Liam standing in front of me. "Hey I'm right here," He pulled me close to him again. I noticed the dampness under my eyes.

"Sorry I dozed off," I shook my head and blew out a deep breath.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Liam rubbed circles on my back. "About what happened with Charles?"

"No," I shook my head quickly. "I can't," I wanted to tell him so badly. I really did, but there was something inside me that forced me to keep it in. I trusted Liam with my life, but this is something I wouldn't be able to tell anyone.

"Promise me something," He pulled me away from him and looked down at me. "Promise me that no matter what happens, with Harry's plan, anything, that you will always come to me if you need help," I liked to think that I never needed help, but more often than not, Liam was saving my ass.

"I promise," He nodded and pulled me back into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his torso and started letting out all of my emotions. He shushed me and whispered soothing words.

I loved Liam. Liam was my world, my bestfriend, and the only person I've ever been able to depend on.
