Captivated

Chapter 7

All day at school, I kept looking around for signs of Harry or his gang. I hadn't seen them around all day, and that was weird. They were always causing chaos, or having girls chase after them. So it was unusually normal for the school to be so...well normal. Everyone minded their own business. It felt peaceful for once. By lunch, I had only seen the girls. They sat at the usual table. When I made my way to the table, where Jenny and I sat, I could feel their stares behind my back.

Did they know? Oh, of course they did. I hadn't had a chance to explain Jenny what was going on. So when she finally showed up for lunch, she wasn't even close to sitting down when I grabbed her by arm and dragged her to the seat next to me.

"OW! What was that for?" she complained.

"SHH! BE QUIET!" I loud whispered. I looked to see if the girls were still staring, and thank god they weren't. I had to act quickly.

"Jenny, I really, really, really need to tell you something. So please pay attention and don't cut me off until I'm finished." I ordered. She just nodded her head.

With a stern nod, I explained to her. "Remember the other night, when harry came over my house?" I asked

"Oh yeah, how could I? You guys were about to suck each other's face off." She winked

I rolled my eyes, "Okay, well before that Harry came to tell me something. He confessed to me that, he is part of a dangerous, underground gang. Since he saved us, from nearly getting kidnapped. That put us on the radar. I swore to him, that I wouldn't tell no one about his secret. He is not the only one involved. Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis are also part of the gang."

"Why didn't you tell me? I get it, it's not my secret to keep but still... I thought we were friends." Jenny frowned. I could feel her growing distant from me.

"No Jenny, listen to me! I didn't tell you because I wanted to keep you safe. I don't even know how deep we are in this shit. But I just figured the less you knew, the less you'd be in danger. You are my friend, I do care. That's why I didn't tell you in the first place." I needed her to understand, that those were my true intentions.

She looked at me and gave me a small smile. "Pink promise?" she held her pinky up.

I laughed, "Pinky promise." putting my pinky, around hers.

"Ok back to the topic. You know how you told me about the rumors going on about us, today?" I asked her. She scrunched up her face thinking, and I swear it's like saw a light bulb above her head light up.

"OH MY GOD! NO WAY! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" That was the reaction I had this morning.

I nodded my head frantically, "Jenny, we need figure out who spread these rumors. Harry is investigating also, and he is going to see if his gang found out already."

"Okay, yeah. But what's going to happen to us?" she asked me worried.

"I don't know." I answered truthfully.

Finding the person, who spread the rumor was impossible. We kept getting person after person, and by the end we just gave up frustrated. I was walking home, when all I desperately wanted was to sleep in my bed. I could feel a headache coming. I was stressing out because I still hadn't seen Harry. I was getting anxious and worried. Hopefully nothing wrong happened to him.

When I got home, I so wanted desperately to take a nap. But after 20 minutes laying in my bed, and staring at the ceiling I gave up. All day, I forced myself to keep busy. Because if not, I would've been like a dog sitting right in front of the door. Waiting for Harry to show up. It was dark outside already, when someone knocked on my door.

I immediately ran to the door and opened it. Harry stood there, with his black leather jacket and washed up blue jeans. Seeing him there sane and alive, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders.

"Can I come in?" he asked. I nodded and let him in. Closing the door, behind him.

He turned and looked at me. He was checking out my outfit. I was wearing minion pajamas bottoms, with a matching tank top.

He raised an eyebrow at me, "Nice outfit?"

I blushed deeply. Ugh I wish I would've wore something else. "So...what happened?"

The curiosity was killing me. I was waiting all day for this moment right here, so I could get some answers. Harry sat down, in the black, leather love seat. I followed him and sat next to him.

"I only told you part of the story. There's actually more." He sighed heavily, I started to get anxious when he wasn't meeting my gaze.

He continued, "That night, we weren't supposed to be there. That's enemy territory. We were there for another reason but that doesn't matter right now. The guys, which were trying to abduct you and your friends are part of a gang. Not just any gang. They are the sons. Our number one, rival. And to make matters worse, they were the gang leader family."

The severity of what he was confessing to me, struck a nerve. This was more than just some little gang groups, trying to rebel and disobey their parents. This was serious shit.

"I fucked with them, nasty style. I put a target not only on my back, but on you, your friend and my gang. I wasn't thinking at that moment, all I wanted to do was to punish them for even trying to take you. And because of this... this is declaring war." He looked at me now, and I could see the fear in his eyes.

Harry styles, scared? At that moment, I knew we were fucked.

"What about your gang? Did you talk to them?" I asked quietly

"Yes. They want to meet you and Jenny. Tomorrow at sundown." I knew from the way he said it, it was an order not an option.

I exhaled shakily. "What if they do something to us? Oh my god! They are going to kill us! I knew it, I fucking knew it!" I was hyperventilating at this point.

Harry grabbed my face with both of his hands. "Calm down Lilith! I will. Not. Let. Anything. Happen. To. You. Do you understand me?" he asked. The intensity in his eyes, was too much. To put your trust into someone, was like handing someone a knife and stabbing you right in the heart. But when it came to Harry, I gave him my trust completely and willingly. No questions asked.
