the criminals // h.s. short story ((editing))

vi.

I opened my eyes slightly, the lights bothering my eyes, I blinked a few times, when my eyes were okay with the lights I sat, I then realized I was on the floor. I slept on a floor. I looked around and saw someone sleeping on a bed, I carefully stood up because my back hurt due to my slumber on the harsh floor and walked towards the bed, Harry was sleeping there. I scrunched my nose up in disgust, he just left me here in the floor while he went to his comfortable looking bed.

God! he was snoring like crazy. I let out a heavy sigh and walked towards the door. I stepped outside and went downstairs to see if anyone was awake. When I didn't see anyone I plopped on the couch and curled up in a ball, my legs in front of my chest as my head rested in my knees. I started crying, the empty feeling taking control over me. The tears rolled down my cheeks, the fresh images of my dad in the cold pavement, Harry trying to rape me and yelling me "I was not worth it" speeding through my mind. I thought I was alone, but then I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, I winced as I looked up; Zayn gave me a sad smile and then sat next to me.

"Get away from me!" I mumbled as I hid my face, I bet it was really red because of all the crying, "Avery" he said kind of concerned "No! Leave me alone! I want to go home!" I cried, he grabbed my chin, I bit harshly I think, and lifted up my face so I was staring at him "Avery" he repeated. "I wanna go home..." I whispered, he let out a heavy sigh "I wanted you to go home," he started as he looked down "but it's just.." he stared at me "I can't tell you", "what can't you tell me? Why you killed my father?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs "Why you dragged me back here?!", "Avery! calm down!" Zayn hissed, "NO, I WON'T!" I said standing up from the couch "I WANT TO GO HOME, BE WITH MY FATHER", "Avery!" he said "calm down, you're going to wake up everyone" "I DON'T FUCKING CARE" I cried, tears streaming down my face "I WANNA GO HO-" I was cut off by a pair of lips being pressed against mine, he's kissing me. I quickly pulled away and then slapped him, hard. He gasped in pain and then started rubbing his cheek, he stared at me in anger and so did I. How come he just kissed me in this kind of situation? Was he crazy? And, sure, I accepted his kisses before but not now. I'm so pissed off I don't even want to see his nasty face, all of them are nasty. Why did they have to kill my father? "Get the fuck away from me!" I snapped stepping back, "Avery! stop being a bitch!", "You killed my father, do you fucking want me to be happy?! HOW?! YOU KILLED MY FATHER!", "I know it's hard Avery but-" "HARD? HARD?! It's not only hard! It's fucking devastating! It fucking hurts! How would you feel if your family dies?!" I scream "THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD" Zayn screams with all his force and I just stare at his face, his jaw was set and he was breathing heavily. "I..." what could I say? "Zayn, I..." he shook his head "You know, you're lucky we haven't killed you" he said before walking out of the room, leaving me alone in the basement, I lifted one hand up to my mouth as I shook my head desperately trying to avoid the tears forming on my eyes, but I failed, they rolled down really fast so I couldn't stop it. I fell down to the floor, and curled myself into a ball, my legs in front of my chest and my arms wrapped near my knees, I hid my face in my arms and cried even more. I hate it, I hate this.

"Avery, get up!" I heard someone scream, I jumped screaming, and then I realized I fell asleep crying in the basement. I looked up only to see Liam staring at me, the other boys behind him, "what?!" I snapped rubbing my head, "clean yourself up and grab your things" Liam said crossing his arms, he was so sweet before, what happened now? "what, why? Am I going home?" I said, my voice hopefully. He snorted "no.", "we're moving to another house so hurry up!" Zayn said, I looked at them confused, "another house? why?", "no reasons" Liam hissed. "Now get up before we drag you inside the bathroom, okay?!" I reluctantly stood up and walked towards the bathroom to have a shower, when I was at the top of the stairs I heard Liam's voice again "And don't take too long!", "I WON'T" I yelled in response, Jeez. This bipolar boys.

I locked myself in the bathroom and stared at  my reflection in the mirror. I looked horrible, my hair was oily, I had bags under my eyes, and my eyes were red and swollen. I sighed as I stripped out of my clothes and got in the shower. The water washing away the dirt on my body, I bit my lip and looked around, I had to find a way to escape. I mean, c'mon! This is a freaking house not jail! this has windows as well! Avery you're so stupid! why didn't you think of that earlier?!, I thought to myself.

I got out of the shower and quickly put my clothes on, I silently stepped out of the bathroom tip-toeing in every step I took, I went to Zayn's room and opened the door slowly, luckily, he wasn't there. I took some of my things, my old school uniform, some clothes and held a pair of shoes in my hand. Crap. I need money for a cab. I searched inside the pocket of my uniform skirt and found out my phone was there. I didn't know if I should slap myself for not thinking of it, or the boys for leaving it there. I grabbed it and also find money on the pocket, God, this guys are dumb for real. I silently walked toward the bathroom again and locked myself in. I grabbed my phone and tried to unlock it, but then I realized it had no battery. Damn! I almost made it! I bit my lip as I looked up to the shower window, I walked up to it and realized it was closed, damn.

I walked around the bathroom looking for something, I opened a cupboard that was filled with sprays and clips, what the...? I grabbed a clip and sighed, well, this will do, I thought to myself, I opened the clip and tried to unlock the window, I was getting desperate and almost giving up. "Avery! hurry up!" I heard Liam yell as he knocked the door. "I-I'm dressing up Liam" I answered as I continued trying to unlock the god damn window!

My face lit up as I heard a "click" I slowly slid up the window, which made a shierking noice. "What was that?!" Liam's voice from the other side of the door made me jump, okay girl, its now or never. I grabbed the most important things and started climbing out of the window. Just as I was half way through the window, the door opened. Crap.
