The Dark Side

Chapter 7 ~The Dark Side

Harry's POV:

"We need to talk." Louis said sternly while grabbing my shoulder pushing me further away from the couch and into the kitchen. "Louis I know I made a mistake, but I can't control myself when Veronica is around me. She makes me so mad." I said while starting to raise my voice again. I coudn't help myself. This girl really pissed me off. "Harry, you have 40,000 reasons for not controlling yourself but not a single excuse. You really scared Emily. She is literally petrified." Louis said while keeping a cold stare. "Is she really?" I asked with concern. "Harry!  You were screaming at another girl while pulling Emily's wrist closer to you. Now I go suggest that you leave and think about your actions." He firmly stated. I was about to argue when I heard a familiar scream. Louis and I ran out of the kitchen to see Emily sitting up on the couch broken out in sweat being comforted by Liam.I felt fury in my stomach to see him comfort her. That should have been me.

Emily's POV:

When I sleep, I never dream. I only relive past experiences.

I  was sitting on my bed when the front door bursted open. I knew what was coming. It was my mother. I never understood why my mother had so much hatred towards me. I tried so hard to get her to love me, but it never worked. But then again why would she love such an ugly loser like me. "EMILY!" my mother screamed from downstairs. I flew from my bed to my bedroom door trying to lock it before she could come in. Relief overcame me as I knew I beat her to my door, that is till my door came flying open. "Emily don't even try! I know how to pick locks stupid girl." she spatted. I backed up to my wall realising I was trapped. "EMILY DO YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES ME MAD?" she asked while coming closer. I shook my head in fear. "WHAT MAKES ME MAD IS THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE." She shouted while grabbing my lamp. I knew what was going to happen next it happened everyday. She threw the lamp at me and started kicking me. I knew to never cry out in pain, but I wanted to. With each kick delivered to the ribs I felt weaker and weaker. After five minutes of kicking me. She started to walk away.  I slowly tried to sit up but couldn't due to an incruciating pain. I just layed there the whole weekend on the floor not moving an inch. That was until Sunday night when my mother rushed into my room. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING ON THE FLOOR EMILY?" my mother screeched. "GET UP RIGHT THIS INSTANT." she yelled once again. I tried to pull myself up, but it was to painful. Not thinking I let out a small groan of pain. "EMILY GET UP NOW!" she yelled as she yanked my body up while shoving me into the wall.

My eyes jolted open as I let out a scream. Three boys immediately ran towards me. "Emily, it's okay it was just a dream." Liam said as he pulled me into his lap. "That's what you think." I whispered receiving a confused look from Liam. "What do you mean?" Liam quietly asked. "Nothing." I said while shaking my head. I mean did he really think I would tell him what is bothering me after only knowing him for seven hours? Liam didn't respond but rubbed my shoulders in an attempt to comfort me.

"Em?" A familiar voice called out. I didn't have to look up to see who the voice belonged to. I knew it all to well. It was Harry.

Harry's POV:

I hated seeing Liam comfort my bestfriend. What is she had a nighmare about me? I feel so awful right now. I need to apoligize. "Em?" I called out to her hoping she would look up. She continued to stare at the floor. I continued walking closer as she raised her view to my eyes.

"Emily look you have every right to be mad at me. I really screwed up and should have never done that to my best friend. I just lost control of my anger." I stated looking away from her. "It's fine, Harry I really don't care. It's just I thought you were different then any other person I have ever met." she responded. It hurt me so much to hear that. Did she really think that? "Em, please forgive me! I never act like that. I sware." I pleaded. "I forgave you Harry, like I said it doesn't bother me. I just thought you were different, but as it turns out you really aren't. But thats fine. Now if you don't mind I would like to go home because I have to get up early tomorrow for skating." she said harshy while getting up from the couch. "Let me at least drive you home." I offered. "No Harry, right now I want to be by myself." She whispered. "Em it's dark outside I'm not gonna let you walk home." I said while grabbing the wrist I previously tugged on. "Harry let go." she warned as she finched. "Em! I am so sorry I didn't mean to. I really didn't know. Oh my gosh what did I do!" I panicked while she walked out the door. I broke down.

"Louis what did I do. I screwed everything up. Why did Veronica have to come? Now I'm positive she will never share what she is hiding with me." I said while burying my head in my hands. "Well first off I suggest you follow her in your car to make sure she is okay. London is not a safe place Harry. Then I suggest you spend the night at your mom's house. Lastly, I suggest that you slowly gain this girls trust back. I believed that she will let you fully back into her life, but be careful. One more mistake Harry and you will lose the girl you love." Louis warned. "OK, wait how did you know?" I asked confused. "It's kinda obvious Harry. Now go!" Louis said while shoving me out the door.

 I rushed out of the flat and jumped in my car searching for Emily. After five minutes I finally found her. She walked along the sidewalk whilst listening to music. I could only tell that by the way her head moved to the beat. So far she was half way home and did not encounter any problems. I know she told me that she forgives me, but I can't help to believe that she is truly scared of me. She was less than a quarter mile home when someone appeared in front of her. That someone was Veronica. I knew I had to stop her before she hurt Emily. I quickly found a spot to pull over about two blocks down and jumped out of the car. I started sprinting back towards them in an attempt to save Emily from anything Veronica will throw at her.

Emily's POV:

I had my beats on and was strolling down the sidewalk back to my house. I swayed my head back and forth to the beat of Troublemaker by Olly Murs. I was absolutely obsessed with that song. Music is my comfort zone. I can forget about everything as soon as a song plays. My happy light mood dropped as I ran into someone, but not just anyone, it was Veronica. I tried to push past her when she pushed me back. "Nice try Emily, but you are not getting away so easy." she said with a smirk. "What do you want Veronica?" I asked annoyed. "I want you to stay as far as possible from Harry." she said walking closer towards me. "Veronica, I have had enough people push me around in my life and you are certainly not one of them." I stated while trying to push through her one more time. "Wait you little slut! You can't leave not till you promise to stay away from Harry." she threatened. "Goodnight Veronica!" I said as I tried to release her grip off of my arm. "I SAID STAY HERE." she yelled while bringing her fist to my right eye. I stumbled back due to the impact. She may be small but she definitely was not weak. As I tried to catch my balance she pushed me back into the hard cement.

"EMILY!" A voice called out, but this voice was special for it belonged to Harry. "Harry." I croaked. "Veronica please just leave me and my friends alone." Harry reasoned. "I guess for now, but I will be back soon Harry darling. Oh and Emily don't forget what I told you." she said while strutting away. "Are you okay?" Harry asked with concern. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said as a grabbed his hand that was reached out towards me. "That's good if she ever bothers you again please let me know and I will put an end to this." he said with a frown. "Harry how did you find me?" I asked suspiciously. "I followed you home to make sure you would make it back alive." He said while grinning at the ground. "Well if it wasn't for you I maybe would have not been alive! Thanks Harry you really are a great friend." I said reaching my arms out to pull him in for a hug. "So do you forgive me about earlier Emily?" he asked cautiously. "Yes Harry, after my encounter with that girl I can see why you acted the way you did." I said while smiling. "It feels good to know that you fully forgive me." he said while staring into my eyes. "It feels good to fully forgive you too." I stated while staring back.

"We should get going I really need to get home." I said remembering I had to get up at 5:00 A.M. tomorrow morning for skating. "Yeah let me walk you home." Harry said. "Okay." I answered skipping towards him.
