A Tragedy Away (h.s. fan fiction)

Chapter Fifthteen

💙 Delia's POV💙

He looked into my eyes with an intensity I've never experienced before. I tried not to think about the warmth of his hand still in mine. My cheeks blushed at what he said. I know it was a joke but it still made my heart do crazy things.

"So what were you screaming about earlier?" He said after letting go of my hand reluctantly.

"Please tell me you've heard of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings ????!" I squeaked.

"The what?" He asked completely lost and serious. I palmed the front of my face and turned out the bathroom and walked towards the living room. When I got half way down the hall I was suddenly aware of his close proximity. I hurried and popped in the first movie of The Hobbit series. I turned to find Harry leaning against the wall confused.

"Harry Styles....I'm about to get you hooked on crack." I said with a serious face. He looked amused until I said sternly,"Sit." He obeyed with a ghost of a smirk on his lips. I went and sat down on the floor in front of him and pressed play.

🕒 1 hour later🕒

"That was complete bullshit!!"

"No! That was brilliance. One of the greatest movies made!"

"It might as well have been a chick flick by the way you were crying over the midgets!" He laughed. I grabbed a pillow and hit him in the face with it.

"How dare you insult the last of Durin! Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror is not a midget! He is a dwarf and he can kick your ass Styles!" I yelled. He chuckled and hit me with the pillow in the face and I fell back on the couch.

"No! That midget could never defeat me, Azog The Defiler! I will destroy the rest of Thrain's blood line!"

"What....in...the.......holy.......fuck! What the hell is this!" Alondra shouts as she stands in the door way. I stand up quick from where I landed on the couch. Harry just as shocked as I am.

"We uh....we were just watching a movie..." I stuttered looking down.

"Yeah no kidding. You guys were geeking out to The Hobbit. Ugggh Delia. I love you so much but if you were going to watch The Hobbit why not call me! You know I am secretly married to Filli!" She yelled. She always had a crush on Filli. She thought he was the cutest dwarf.

"I'm sorry but you were out with L-"

"Aaaaaah!" She screamed so Harry wouldn't know about her infatuation with Louis. Harry looked at both of us before just smirking. I knew he knew about them by now. It was obvious. They were just too scared to admit it. She gave me a quick hug them dismissed herself to her room. I slowly turned to Harry.

"It's getting late ...... How's your head?"

"Pretty bad actually......maybe we should call the hot nurse that helped bandage it." He smirked while wrapping his arms around my waist. I untied his arms and said," I don't think it's safe for you to walk home this late. You should crash on the couch......" He nodded. Then, with the luck that I have, the lights shut off. Without even knowing it I had grabbed Harry's arm. This is so not happening right now. I start to shake still holding Harry in a death lock.

"Delia are you okay, you're shaking...."

"Y-yeah I'm fine. I just...in I'm still kinda scared of the dark...." I confess.

"Delia!!!!! Oh my god! Are you alright? Where are you!" I hear Alondra call until she shines her flashlight on me and Harry.

"She's fine! I got her. Don't worry." She looked at Harry confused, then at his arm around me and mine clutching his arm. I must have had the most horrified look on my face because she walked up to me wrapping her small arms around me.

" You'll be fine. Don't think about it, babe." Alondra softly spoke in my ear. I nodded. I was still shaky when she went back to her room.

"Come on. I'll take you to your room." Harry spoke softly while grabbing my hand. When we got to my room door he cursed.

"Dammit. Hold on I'll be right back.." He said but my grip on his hand tightened.

"Delia it'll be fine. Don't worry I'm coming back." I let go and watch his silhouette disappear down the dark hallway. It suddenly got extremely cold. Just like it did that day. The day I always go back to when I'm in the dark. Surrounded by the ghost of my past....

⚡ Flashback ⚡

"Daddy please! Don't hurt Mommy!!" I screamed as he continuously beat her with a heavy bottle of alcohol. I didn't mean to hurt mommy. She told me to stay in my room whenever Daddy came home late. But I just wanted to say hi. I wanted to show him a picture I drew at ...

"I'm not your fucking father, bitch! Your real father left your sorry ass because you were a product of a one night stand!" Then he pushed me hard and I fell on the floor crying. I was once eight, I didn't know what he was talking about. I looked up and had his back to me and a plastic bag over my mommy's head. There was a big storm in town so the lights in the house went out except for the light of my mom's laptop. It was dark and all I could see was my mom struggling for her life to get out of my dad's grip. She couldn't breathe. I was so scared. I had to help her before he hurt her more. He always would hurt her but not like this. So I ran to that special spot behind daddy's bookcase. The spot mommy said to stay away from and reached behind it. My fingers brushed against something cold. I grabbed it and loaded it just like Uncle Will taught me. He told me that if I was staying with mommy and daddy that I needed to learn these things. I ran back to mommy and daddy just in time to see my mom slowly stop fighting but he kept fighting. I aimed at my daddy's head and pulled the trigger. The noise was so loud that I thought it was lightening. I watched as he just fell on the floor next to my mommy. He wasn't moving..... Neither of them were.

"Mommy? Daddy? Mommy!!! Daddy!!!" I ran to their lifeless bodies and held their hands for hours.

⚡ End of Flashback⚡

"Delia!?? Delia what's wrong???" Harry yells while shaking me lightly. I blinked a few times before my eyes came into focus.

"W-wha... Oh oh my god. I'm s-sorry. I just kind of blacked out I guess...." But I knew it wasn't just me blacking out. This has been happening ever since that nigh. I'm old enough to know that I need help... I'm just scared to realize it.....

"Okay...you scared me for a second. Come on." He chuckled while grabbing my hand and escorting me into my room.
