Ever Enough (ON HOLD)

Ever Enough - Scared

Emma ran through the dark woods trying to get away from the man that was chasing after her. She was in fear and she was not sure if she was going to make it out alive. She let out a scream when she fell down on the ground, sharp twigs cutting her skin on the palms of her hands making her cry out in pain.

She quickly looked back, it was quiet and dark, the only source of light was the moon that was shining brightly in the sky but even then she couldn’t see anything within hundred feet radius but she could hear his footsteps nearing closer to her. She was panicking; she was not ready to die.  She quickly stood back up and started to run again through the dark woods.

“You can run but you cannot hide” She heard him shout behind her, he was not far away. She glanced back, her eyes widening when she saw him getting closer and closer to her. She was running as fast as she could but the fact that it was dark and she could barely see anything was making it hard to run away from him.

His footsteps were getting louder and louder and suddenly she found herself on the ground with the blood covered man on top of her. His eyes were wide and an evil smirk was plastered on his face.

“You didn’t think you could run away from me now did you?” He asked her placing his hands on Emma’s neck, his hand tightening around her making it hard for her to breathe. Her hand was desperately trying to find the gun that had slipped out of her hand when he had pushed her to the ground while the other was trying to get his hand away from her neck.

“Should have killed you first, but that fucker just got on my nerves” Tom said, watching as Emma struggled to breath and from the looks of it, he enjoyed it, he enjoyed seeing her like this, helpless, on the edge of death, struggling for air and desperately trying to get him off of her.

Finally she felt something cold against her fingertips; she didn’t waste time in wrapping her fingers around the cold metal object. She swung her hand up, the gun colliding with the side of Toms head hard, hard enough for him to release the grip on her neck and fall down on the ground beside her.

“You fucking bitch” He screamed holding his head with his hands, the hit had busted open his head, making the blood drip down his hand. Emma was desperately trying to crawl away from him, kicking her feet against the ground. She was about to turn around and get up and run when she felt Tom grab a hold of her ankle, yanking her back to him.

“You are not gonna get away from me bitch!” He screamed at her, slapping her hard across her face with the back of his hand making Emma cry out in pain. She could taste the metallic taste of her blood in her mouth. She turned her face to him and spit the red liquid in Tom’s face, which angered him more. She tried to push him away from her but with no luck.

Emma still had the gun in her hand and Tom seems to not have noticed it yet. Oh but how wrong she was. Tom took the hold of her wrists and knocking them against a branch, the gun that was in Emma’s hand falling to the ground.

He snatched the gun from the ground, he was about to point it at her but she quickly kneed him between his legs, making him fall to his side, groaning loudly in pain. It gave Emma enough time to get away from him far enough to get up.

She noticed a long branch lying on the ground, she quickly went to pick it up but before she could, the sound of gun being fired filled her ears and the sharp burning pain ran through her shoulder.

Emma Shoot up in the bed, cold sweat was covering her body. She could feel the sharp pain in her shoulder, burning. She rubbed over her shoulder trying to sooth the pain though it was not helping because the pain didn’t stop. Turning on the lamp on the bedsides table, she got out of bed, and walked over to her packed suitcase on top of it stood her carryon bag. Pulling the zipper open she searched for the box of painkillers.

Taking two of the pills she grabbed a water bottle that stood next to her on the small table. Placing the pills into her mouth she unscrewed the top and drank the water, washing them down.

She has been having nightmares more often then she used to, and almost every time of that night three years ago. She didn’t know why she has been having them so often but it was taking a tool on her. Emma knew she had to talk about it with her therapist; she might have some good explanation as to why have her nightmares have returned.

Sighing Emma looked at the clock on the wall, it read 5:49 am.  There was no use for her to go back to bed and considering that her shoulder was still hurting and it would be a while till the painkillers would actually work. She stood up and walked back over to her bedsides table, taking one of the cigarettes out of the box and placing it between her lips. She knew it was not really healthy for her to smoke and she has tried to stop, but for the past two weeks she has started to smoke more and more due to stress and nightmares she has been having. Smoking just seems to calm her down.

Few hours later Emma was sitting in the Hotel’s restaurant, with a cup of coffee and a copy of New York Times as she waited for her breakfast to arrive.  From the corner of her eye she noticed a mop of brown, messy curls walk into the restaurant, making his way straight to the bar. Emma brought the paper higher up, blocking her face from the view. She was hoping and praying that he had not noticed her when he walked in. But her prayers had not been answered when she heard the all too familiar British accent moments later.

“Good morning, Care if I join?” He asked. He didn’t give Emma time to answer him and tell him that she actually did mind because he already had taken a seat next to her at the table.

“Actually I do” She told him, lowering down the newspaper.  Harry just gave her a cheeky smirk before taking a sip from his coffee.

“Cranky already so early in the morning?” Harry smirked, placing his cup down.

“Well, what can I say, your presence just annoys me” Emma bluntly replied before taking a sip from her own coffee.

“But luckily for me I won’t have to see you until tour starts” Emma told him.

“You will see me sooner than you think! We still have tour rehearsals” 

“Dammit!” Emma cursed, she had totally forgotten about that. Harry let out a small chuckle before turning serious.

“Am I really that annoying?” He asked her.

“You kind of are” She told him, but truth to be told, Harry was not annoying at all. He was funny and sweet. And Emma was scared of getting attached to him or anyone else for that matter.  She has been betrayed by those close to her. She didn’t trust people anymore. The only ones that she trusted was her family, but even then she was scared that they would betray her, hurt her and leave her, like it’s been done before.

“Why?”

“I don’t know” She told him folding the paper and placing it down on the table.

“There must be something that you find annoying about me” Harry pushed; he wanted to know why she found him annoying.

“Maybe what annoys me most about you is the fact that you still keep bothering me, trying to get to know me after I told you that I don’t want you to.” Her answer was cold, maybe too cold but Harry didn’t seem to be fazed about it at.

“Do you want me to stop talking to you?” Harry asked her. He already knew the answer.

“It would make my life easier” Emma replied bluntly.

“Fine then” Harry replied and stood up from the table. “But you know what I think?” He paused leaning down so his face was close to Emma’s “I think you are just scared of letting someone get to know you and get close to you, because you think that they are going to hurt you” He told her, his green eyes staring back into Emma’s brown ones.  Emma could feel the all the color drain from her face because everything that Harry said was true.  

 “But not everyone is like that” He told her before he straightened up and turned to walk away, not giving her another glance as he went.
