Safe

Chapter Ten

*Later in the day. Liz's POV*

There was a man, running towards me, fast. I tried to move, scream, run, anything. But I couldn't.

As the man neared closer, I saw he had a knife in his hand. This is going to end very badly.

Suddenly, I was being slammed against the wall by the man.

"Told you I would find you. And there's nothing your little boyfriend Harry can do about it now. By the time he gets here, he'll be too late."

He held the knife to my neck, and began to press harder, creating severe pain. I cried out.

"That's a good girl, scream his name. I want him to know that you cried out for him. That you wanted him to save you."

I tried really hard to just bite my lip and not scream. I was succeeding. Then, he raised the knife, and said,

"Say goodbye, Liz."

Then he lowered the knife to my chest. But it was like everything was in slow motion. I began screaming. Then I heard Harry yelling my name and shaking my shoulders. I opened my eyes quickly, to find Harry shaking me.

"Harry!"

I said joyfully.

"What's wrong, are you ok Liz?"

"Yeah. I just had a really bad dream. But it was just a dream. It's over now."

I was so relieved it was just a dream. I looked around to see that we were still in the car, pulled over on the side of the road. When Harry realized I was ok, he pulled out onto the road and started driving again.

"Harry? Where are we going?"

"I don't know, Liz. Guess we'll know when we get there."

In about ten minutes, we pulled up at a hotel. Harry walked in and got us a room, then came to get me from the car. We stayed in the room for about five minutes, then Harry got up and grabbed my wrist and started tugging me towards the door.

"Where are we going Harry?"

"To get you some clothes."

"Oh."

***

About ten minutes later we arrived at a store with some really cute outfits in the window. I hopped out of the car, tugging Harry inside behind me.

Once I had tried on countless outfits, I decided on some, and we walked to the counter to pay.

When we got to the hotel, I slipped into some comfortable sweats and a hoodie. I walked out of the bathroom to find Harry sitting on the couch, waiting for me.

"Miss me?"

I asked playfully.

"Yeah. Come here, babe."

He said motioning for me to sit beside him on the couch. I complied, walking over and snuggling with him. I liked the feel of his strong arms around me. It was something I could get used to. He clicked the remote, starting a movie. It was Bambi.

"Awww!"

I cooed when I saw what movie it was.

"I love this movie!"

We started watching, but about ten minutes into the movie, Harry moved his lips to my ear.

"I want to ask you something Liz."

"What is it, Harry?"

"Will you be my girlfriend, Liz?"

I turned around in his hold so that I could see his face. I looked in his for a few seconds before replying.

"Of course! I would love to be your girlfriend, Harry!"

"Good. I love you so much babe."

"I love you too Harry."

And with that, he stood up quickly, taking me with him, and held me up, spinning me around and around.

"Harry!"

I giggled.

"I'm getting dizzy!"

I said, still laughing. I looked down at him, and saw that his eyes had changed to a deeper shade of green. He stopped, and let us fall back on to the couch, with me on top of him. He cupped my face in his hands, and brought it down to his. We kissed. I savored the kiss for what felt like hours, but it was really only a couple of seconds. How is it possible for something to feel so right, yet so wrong? Because at that moment, I got a feeling in the pit of my stomach. A bad one. It was like something was telling me that something bad was gonna happen, and I didn't like it.
