His Little Secret

Chapter 18

Lily's P.O.V.

I wake up on Bridget's couch memories of last night flashing through my mind. My body goes rigid and I hear his voice.

"Harry she's asleep stop!"

"I need to apologize to her!"

"Harry go sit in the kitchen. Let her wake up on her own. You'll piss her off more if you go and wake her up."

Why would he show up here. I want nothing to do with him right now and he wanted nothing to do with me last night that's for sure.

After an hour goes by I finally wander to the restroom still wanting to avoid Harry. I've calmed down some since he first arrived but I'm still not happy with him at all. I also know that without Harry I'll be stuck in England for the rest of my life with constant reminders of my shit life.

I walk to the kitchen avoiding Harry's gaze.

"Do you by any chance have the laptop?" I ask him quiet and timid.

"Yes. I wouldn't have left that Lily, with all the thieves it would have been stolen as soon as I left the property"

"I wanna continue looking for a way out."

"Lily it's not that easy. If we leave, not saying a word, our friends fall and we live the rest of our lives in guilt"

"What do you mean they fall Harry? They'll find someone new to 'lead' the 'gang' I mean they're practically already replacing you with Niall."

"Sit down Lily." Harry demands.

"Why?" I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"Just sit and you'll find out!"

I reluctantly sit down across from him at the table.

"Lily you might think you know everything that we deal with but you don't. Hell, pretty much Niall is the only one who knows everything but he isn't prepared. Zayn had a death wish for us-"

"But he's dead Harry."

"How'd you kn-"

"I've been at Bridget's all night not under a damn rock."

"Anyway, he had a death wish for us and he made sure full well that if anything happened to him the rest of his gang worked twice as hard to hurt us, kill us even. Even though he's gone doesn't mean the gang is magically gone too and you know how Niall is my back up? Zayn made sure that he had a strong back up, possibly back ups. Right now since I killed Zayn I have power over them but as soon as I leave or put my guard down they're going to attack, hard. We're like lions in a war over the best land in the whole savannah. We're like a team of Simbas and Scars but the end for us has not yet been made. In this messed up reality version of the "Lion King" Scar has an equal chance of gaining power over Pride Rock and putting us to shame and hatred by the whole town."

My eyes are wide and my head is spinning by the time he's done. I get everything he's saying but it's so much to comprehend at once.

"The thing is Lily, we're just a group of stupid friends who classified ourselves as a gang and even created rivalries yet we had no idea what shit we were getting ourselves into. Now, here we are stuck deep in that shit and have no idea the way out."

"Not even you have an idea Harry? Couldn't we just take them all with us? We can all go to America and live together in a large house for a while"

"I had the same thought Lily but we don't even have the money to fly to America let alone get a house and we have the most money of anyone in our 'gang'."

"Well what do we have to do to get the other gangs, the real gangs, mindset off of destroying us?"

"That's the thing, no one has any ideas, not me, or Niall, or anyone else. No one has a clue on how to hangs their minds."

"You said you had power over them right? Can't you just go with a gun and threaten them? Have us all there too but like secret back up or whatever."

"They're too smart! Let's just go get some lunch I'm hungry and I'm pretty sure you are too"

"Great way to change subjects" I roll my eyes. "But yeah I'm pretty hungry. How about the diner?"

"Yah the diner sounds pretty good"

At the diner we run into someone from the other gang but they are so scared they flinch away as soon as they see us. I guess killing someone really does have an advantage...

"It doesn't last forever love, then we have to watch out" Harry pulls me closer to him and looks around nervously.

"Maybe going out wasn't the best idea Harry." I say "We can just go back to Bridget's house..."

"No, no. I'll protect you two"

"Harry what are we going to do about your house..? I mean it wasn't that bad but it's not livable.."

He just shrugs and sits at a table. How could he act like that?! He has no home!

"Harry we have no where to live!" I exclaim. "At least that's safe."

"Well we'll find somewhere but for now let's not focus on stressful things."

I sigh. He's right.
