I Will Keep On Fighting - A Harry Styles Fanfiction

Chapter 17

*Previous*

“It’s ok. Now hurry and pack, don’t forget to lock the door.”

I nod. I rush to my closet and start stuffing in most of my favorite things and the clothes I wear the most. Some toiletries, my phone, my laptop, some notebooks, my diary and a bunch of little knickknacks get thrown in my bag. Lastly I unlock my safety box and pull out all the money I have that isn’t in the bank. A total of 20000 euros. I zip up my bag and turn to face George.

“Are you ready?”

“I think so.”

“I don’t know you that well Liz and I hoped I could get to know you but I guess I can’t.” He hands me a slip of paper. “If you need anything don’t hesitate to call me.”

“I won’t. Thanks George.” I pull him into a hug and after getting over some shock he hugs me back.

“I’ll go downstairs now. Lock your door!”

“Alright. Bye.”

“Bye.”

I shoot him a wary smile and lock the door after him. I throw on my coat, grab my bag and head onto the balcony. I climb down the side of my balcony and pretty soon my feet hit the ground. I take one last look at the house before starting my journey (to Harry’s flat).

*Reality*

<Elizabeth's P.O.V>

The big white house gets smaller and smaller until i can no longer see it. It's fricking cold. The cold wind nips at my skin. I pick up my pace and start to run. The wind hits me but i try to ignore it, focus on running, focus on running.

I can't believe i am running away, i'm only going to Harry's flat but im still running away. What will my mum and dad say? I would pay big money to see my mum's reaction when she realizes i'm not home. My mum is such a prick  like why can't she leave me alone! She can't try to write my life like she's the author and im the storybook. And oh my lord how did she manage to wrap Cheryl and my aunt into this? They've never met Harry! "Elizabeth?"

I turn around. "Oh my god Harry! You scared me!"

"Sorry love. What are you doing out?"

"Oh i was actually heading to um Caroline's house but i would rather go to your flat if you don't mind."

"Of course i don't mind Liz! Come here baby."

I walk towards him and he engulfs me in a hug. "You are freezing babe."

"I know. It's really cold."

"Let's get you home then."

I smile. We walk to his flat, hand in hand. "What's with the bag?"

"Oh i was just going to leave some of my stuff at Caroline's house. It's just something we do but i remembered i still have some stuff at her house so you know..."

"Liz?"

"Yes?"

"Whats wrong?"

"What do you mean."

"You sound nervous and worried."

"Oh, it's just that i have something to tell you."

He frowns. "What is it?"

"Why don't we sit down." 

I lead him to the closest bench and we sit next together.

"Well you see, i was, i was actually planning on..." I have no clue what to say.

"Planning on what?"

"Asking you to go to New York with me for a while before Christmas!" Why am i lying to him?

"New York?"

"Yea...."

"That would be perfect." He pulls me into him and kisses my head.

What have i got myself into? 

<George's P.O.V>

Mrs and Mr Smith are waiting for me by the staircase. Oh shit, oh shit! What am i supposed to say! Holy shit i am going to caught and ruin everything for Elizabeth! I can't screw up, i just can't!

"Oh George you're back! What did she say?" I don't respond.

"Well what did she say George?"

"Uh, she wouldn't let me in Mrs. Smith." An annoyed sigh escapes her lips.

"Did she say anything to you dear?"

"No mom. I think she was crying."

"Oh dear! I made my daughter cry!" 

"I told you to leave her alone Lisa. I knew this would happen."

"Mother! Quit telling me what to do!"

"Why don't you quit telling poor Elizabeth what to do then!"

"That is entirely different mother!"

"How? Enlighten me Lisa."

"Well Elizabeth is only a child and..."

"She's 18 Lisa, and if anything you are the child in this situation."

"Mother!"

"It's the truth dear."

"So she didn't say anything dear?"

"Well she did say one thing mum.."

"What did she say George?" I glance warily at Mr. Smith. He sort of scares me.

"She said that she hates her life and she wishes her parents would just, mind my language, fuck off and let her be."

"You should have just let her be Lisa."

"Oh now you are going to get on my case too Robert!"

"You are the one who allowed her to date the boy!"

"Don't get started Robert." Mr. Smith scoffs and then walks away.

"Well i think we should go Lisa."

"Oh Cheryl im sorry the evening didn't go according to plan."

"Hmph. You mean your plans to sabotage Liz's relationship by trying to get her to fall in love with Tyler or George?" 

My eyes widen. "Alex! The boys did not know of this!"

"Why did you think i said it mum?" Alex skips off to her room, obviously pleased with herself.

"Is that true mum?"

"Well yes it is George but we just-"

"You just wanted to use me and Tyler so you help Mrs. Smith ruin Elizabeth's life?"

"When you put it like that i guess it does sound quite horrid."

"That's because it is horrid mum. You both disgust me." 

I walk out the door and head towards the car. My mothers a bitch, at least i know have something in common with Liz..

"George?"
