Shatter

Chapter Three

Chapter 3

* Two Weeks Later *

I couldn't move. It hurt. Everything hurt. Not just physically, but mentally.

Jason had hit me and smacked me and beaten me every single day for two weeks. I had bruises all over my body, some that no amount of makeup could disguise.

It wasn't just Jason. It was Harry. I didn't have the love of my life anymore, he couldn't help me. He couldn't do anything. I wondered where he was, what he was doing. If he missed me as much as I missed him.

I attempted to get out of bed once again, and made a small improvement of about two inches closer to the edge of bed.

My ribs hurt most out of everything. They hurt when I spoke,when I moved, even when I breathed. Basically anything made them hurt.

I decided it was ridiculous to just lay here like some pathetic little girl, so I bit my lip and pushed myself up off the bed. The pain coursed through my whole body and I collapsed on the floor. I was sure that nearly every bone in my body was broken. I dragged myself across the floor into the bathroom and grabbed onto the edge of the bath tub. I turned on the water, hoping a hot bath would ease the pain.

I stripped down and got into the tub, and almost instantly my entire body felt better. It was almost like having Harry there.

I again wondered where he was, but soon drifted off into sleep.

**** Harry's POV ****

I got another beer bottle out of the fridge and sat back down on my couch, hoping to find refuge from my thoughts in the light brown drink.

I missed Anna.

I missed her more than I had ever missed someone in my whole life.

I needed her. I was going to get alcohol poisoning if I didn't hear her voice soon.

I decided I would call her. Maybe it was the beer, or maybe it was my sanity saving itself before I completely lost my mind, but I called her.

It rang twice before she picked up.

"Harry?" Her voice sang, my whole body seemed to sigh as her beautiful voice filled my ears.

"Anna," I said shakily. I didn't know what to say, I just needed her.

" Why did you call?" She sounded almost scared, like she was disobeying someone by talking to me.

"I miss you. I love you. I just needed to hear your voice."

She sounded like she was going to cry.

"Harry I - " She was cut off.

I heard a booming voice in the background yelling at her, I heard her screams, I heard what sounded like Anna being hit.

I hung up the phone. I couldn't bear to listen to that anymore.

Guilt filled my entirety as my eyes closed, thinking, until I eventually fell asleep.

Hey.

Honestly, I have no idea what went on while I was writing this chapter.

It's sort of just a filler.

I know it sucked.

K. Bye.
