alleyway [h.s]

chapter 6

RUBY'S POV

One second I was dancing, and the next I was frozen in place, staring right into those same green eyes that I thought I would never see again. He looked absolutely livid. Clenched jaw, hands in fists, dark eyes, furrowed brows. My heart starts beating fast. This can't be happening. Not with Alice here.

The first thing I noticed with Harry were his rings. His hands were covered in them. Gold, silver, you name it. I also noticed his long brown hair. I never really liked the look of men with long hair, not really my type I guess. But Harry, he's really fucking hot. I didn't want to admit that to myself but I can't help it. His face has the perfect shape, his sharp jaw present, his green eyes, his eyebrows perfectly shaped and his lips. Those damn lips. A perfect shade of pink, perfectly shaped. They look so soft compared to the rest of him.

I looked behind Harry and saw Niall first, then Louis, Liam and then Zayn last. They were all looking in my direction. At me. The rest of them didn't look mad like Harry. They seemed relaxed. But that didn't stop my pounding heart and shaky hands. My first thought was my friend. I couldn't exactly explain to her who these men were if she happened to turn around and see them staring at me. So, for her own safety I said loud enough "Al, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a second." I didn't even let her answer and I found my self running off the dance floor into the back hall where the bathrooms are. I looked behind me and saw Harry running after me. His words from the first night came back to me.

"You better run darling. Because if I catch you, I won't be letting you go."

And I'm sure he wasn't lying, even though he did let me go thanks to Niall. I'm sure if Niall wasn't there, I would've been dragged underground and it would've been my blood next coating his clothes and skin. At that thought, my legs started feeling weaker and weaker at the second. At the end of the hall was a door with an exit sign glowing red. I got to push the door open, but a pair of large hands are pulling me back. I know that this wasn't my fault. We are in a public place. I didn't know he was going to be here tonight so he can't just kill me like he wanted to when I showed up in the alleyway. I try to tug out of his hold, but he only holds me tighter.

"Let me go Harry. I didn't do anything this time" I blurt out, nerves taking over my body.

Before he can even reply, the other boys come running down the hall. Liam is shouting "Harry. Lucas men are here looking for us. We have to leave right now!" At that, Harry's eyes turn even darker if even possible and he turns to look at Liam "What? How the fuck did they find us? Fuck fuck FUCK" I jump a little at his tone, his hands digging deeper and harder in my arms.

"Ha-Harry your hurting me. Please stop"

He turns back to me, eyes softening for just a slight second that I could've missed, and he loosened his hands around my arms.

"We have to go and Ruby, you have to come with us." Louis says, while pushing the big door open, and of course, it leads to a damn alleyway. I really have to stay away from those as much as possible. They always seem to attack trouble.

I slightly panic at his words "What? No- no way am I going anywhere with you people. Who knows what you could do to me, a-and my friend, I can't leave without her-"

"Ruby. Please. We know this is a lot for you but these men," Zayn looks back down the hallway before continuing, "they don't mess around. They are looking for us and if you go back down there, they will know that you just saw us and will ask you where we are and if you don't say what they want to here, they will kill you. Your friend will be safe, no one will touch her as long as she's not seen with us."

I don't even have time to think, when I'm being pulled outside, the fresh air helping me breathe easier but doesn't help my heart beating faster then I thought possible. The parking lot was all the way on the other side of the building, so we had to run. They were running so fast that Harry was pretty much dragging me, not giving me the damn time to run in my own.
