HARRY
Today had been a lot more tiresome than I thought it would be. Every few minutes I checked my phone to see if Corie had responded. I even called her a few times and got no answer.
We had just returned home and I figured after my shower I'd swing by Blondie's and see if she was there. I was actually missing her.
After a long shower, I dressed and walked into the kitchen to find all 4 of the guys sitting around like somebody just died.
" What's up? Why is everyone so quiet?" I ask grabbing my car keys. "Niall if you're heading over to Blondie's I can take you."
" Harry I think you should sit down," he says.
"Why?" I question looking around at everyone's face. Even Lou was serious.
" It's um, it's Corie..." Liam says.
I felt my heart stop beating. What was wrong with Corie?
Niall stands and put his hand on my shoulder.
No...no...
" What happened? " I panicked my voice cracking.
" April just called and said she's in the hospital. She was beat nearly to death...
I couldn't see, or hear, or feel. "I just saw her this morning. Who would wanna hurt...who would," I say confused. I knock everything off of the counter out of anger. They all sat there silently. My head was spinning and I couldnt focus. As I exit the apartment the 4 of them follow me.
Niall finds out what hospital she is from Blondie and we head straight over. We had to get there 15 minutes quicker because I ran every light.
Once we arrive I hop out along with Niall leaving the others to park the car. In the waiting room I spot Blondie, and who I believe is her family. Everyone's crying. When she sees Niall she rushes to him and hugs him. She's crying so hard she's shaking.
" Where is she?" I ask her.
" Um they just told us she's stable, but she's not woke yet" Blondie cried.
" What happened?"
" She...uh...she,"
" What the hell?! Tell me what happened!" I scream causing her family to look at us.
" Her dad. He was abusing her and he nearly killed her today...oh God I should've said something earlier," she sobbed as Niall held her tightly.
Did I hear her correctly? Corie's own father did this? All I saw was red. " Where does she live?"
She looks at her parents who are now holding each other before writing the address on a piece of paper and slipping it to me. "Kick his ass Harry."
I leave Niall with her and take the 3 others with me to Corie's house. I was going to break his jaw. She didn't deserve this, none of it. Corie was so fragile, she needed to be protected. I had to protect her.
When we got to her building I couldn't believe she lived there. It was horrible.
" We're coming with you," Liam says as they all hop out the car. I say nothing as I enter the run down building.
Corie didn't fit in here. I remember reading her essay and how they had a terrible living arrangement but I didn't think it was this bad. Plus, she seemed to live with Blondie.
When we got in front of her door it was slightly cracked. Upon entering I spotted a little blood on the floor, no doubt from Corie. I wanted to kill her father.
" Who are you? We're not selling anything! Get the hell out of my house!" a middle aged drunk (no doubt her father) said entering the living room. I blacked out. One second I was standing across the room, the next I was on top of him and blood was everywhere.
I was enraged. " That's enough Harry, look at him he's unconcious," Zayn says as I see a few of his teeth lying next to him. He would be unrecognizable and I didn't care.
"I will kill you if you come anywhere near her again," I say before making my way to leave.
" Harry," Liam calls pointing to an envelope on the ground with my name on it. I'm breathing extremely hard as I grab the letter and we exit the building. Corie would never have to come back here again. I would make sure of it.
