It's a few hours until the gala and me and Harry have mostly been relaxing at home, getting ourselves energised for the rest of the night. And when I say 'relaxing', I mean, sleeping all morning, chilling on the hammock all afternoon and then swimming in the lake for almost two hours. So yes, I'm, well, we both are pretty relaxed for tonight.

"Be ready by six, got'cha" I smile, making Harry chuckle. I'm currently getting my dress ready on the bed since it's an hour to 6 which means I have to hop in the shower now and start getting ready.

-

"Look who it is" I hear Harry's voice from behind me. My lips are instantly curved up, smiling at the sight of him. "Ready?" I nod instead of speaking because I'm afraid I've lost my voice. He smiles and we both make our way to the limo that'll be taking us.

Our conversation for once was less during the journey, thankfully. The drive was just pretty much focusing on the roads and time-to-time looking in front when the driver stops at a red light or to take a turn or something.

"Shall we?" Harry says when we reach the entrance of the building and for some reason i break into a fit of giggles that i have to cover my mouth to hide my embarrassment. Harry offers his hand once he gets down first and I take it as we both follow a guy dressed in a suit who I assume is one of Harry's people leading us to the hall.

"I never got to congratulate you on this opening. So, congratulations Harry" I smile and (reach a little higher to kiss both his cheeks). Little did I know, people started snapping pictures of us and soon there were loads of people and reporters and maybe even paparazzis trying to get to us.

"Dammit." Harry curses under his breath and takes my hand and leads me towards the VIP section where I notice Perrie, Eleanor and the boys standing.

"Sometimes I forget how famous you are," I say, laughing to myself.

"I know..I'm sorry about that.." he says quickly.

"Why are you apologising?" I ask him.

"Because that was my fault, Kiara. The paps were there and Kiara paps are literally the most annoying people in the world. So please tell me if you see the paper or news one of these days..ignore it okay? The more silent we are, the less it bothers" he says frustratedly, pushing his hair behind. I don't know why but I smile. "Why are you smiling?" he smiles down at me.

"I don't really know. And don't worry about the paps. It's fine and I understand." I tiptoe and rest my chin on his shoulder and hug him slightly.

"Ahh, if it isn't the gorgeous Kiara" I hear Louis' happy voice from behind us.

"Oh my gosh-hey!" I turn around swiftly to greet all of them. I first hug Louis since he was close to me and then the rest of them, including Perrie and Eleanor.

"Excuse us, gentlemen, we ladies will be right over there" Eleanour says, minutes later after we catch up. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion as Elenour and Perrie pull me through the crowd to a vacant corner.

"Okay?" I smile, still confused. The two laugh slightly.

"Kiara, c'mon..when were you gonna tell us?" Elenour asks.

"I'm sorry, I'm not following" I say, really confused now.

"Aren't you and Harry...a thing now?" Perrie asks. I almost choke on my breath.

"We are not a thing" I laugh when I say. They both look confused now. "Why are you guys always thinking we're a thing?" I ask them. They both look at each other for a moment.

"Yeah, i'll just head to the loo real quick" I say so only Harry could hear and then make my way where the restrooms are. I head to the ladies' room and do a quick check on my makeup and adjust my dress a little and then walk out of the room but little did I know I'll be pinned against the wall opposite to the restroom by someone i never thought i'd see again.

"A-Austin" I gasp, terrified of him just by how close he is to me.

"Hello, sister" he says the word 'sister' as if the word disgusts him.

"What-what are y-you d-doing here?" I stuttered out breathing heavily. I might even fall unconscious by the look he's giving me. He looks evil. Evil is an understatement actually.

"What do you think, bitch!?" He slams his head so hard on my own that for a moment I feel like I have lost consciousness already but I feel the tears roll down my eyes when I realise I haven't fallen unconscious yet by the very hard assault. "You think you could just run away from us? Huh bitch? And guess what I heard on the news last week you, whore!" I flinch as I feel his body press mine against the wall so hard.

"P-ple-please A-Austin-" I beg him, the tears now falling uncontrollably in front of his tall figure pressed against my body.

"You wish, Kiara!" he squeezes my shoulders as he heads butts me again.

*Harry's POV*

"Where is Kiara mate?" Louis asks when I take my last sip from my champagne glass.

"She should be back by now.." I say, when I realise it's been more than ten minutes since she left saying she'll go to the restroom. "I'll go check on her if she's okay" I tell the boys and walk towards the restrooms.

What I didn't expect to hear is muffled voices in the direction I was walking in. I keep walking until I see pieces of pinkish material scattered in a line. Pieces of Kiara's dress. Why is it torn?

I follow the small trail of pieces of cloth and hear my own gasp at the sight just a few feet away from me.

The next few minutes were a blur of thousands of punches on the guy until the boys had to pull me away from the bloody stranger who was assaulting Kiara. Niall and Zayn stayed near the bloody somewhat unconscious man as I knelt down to get Kiara. Her body was limp under my hold, my mind kept thinking the worst case scenarios.

"Start the car!! Get it started!! Fast!!" I kept shouting vigorously as I carried Kiara out of the building.
