Secrets (h.s)

Threats

Ella's pov

I was about to scream when I saw the un familiar face.

"Scream and I'll kill you right here, right now." She threatened me and put then end of the gun against my head.

My breathing hitched and I could feel my heart beating a hundred miles an hour.

"Desmond sent me here. I assume you know who that is by now. We had some people watch you and Harry for a couple nights and noticed how you guys got pretty close. We also know you're Steves daughter. We could easily hand him over to you but we decided to be nice to you. On one condition though. You're going to get Harry to join our gang. Or else we will keep you for ourselves, and it won't be nice. You're pretty face will get ruined, lets just say that. You have 13 days or else you're done." She says before she creeps into the darkness of our home.

Everything was still soaking in for me. People have been watching Harry and I for a couple days. They know where we live and who I am. I have a chance of my father getting me again.

I felt like crying but I held in my tears. I'm done with tears. I somehow numbed my body and kept a straight face. I went to the training room and didn't bother wearing gloves or anything like that. I know it's the middle of the night but I have to get my emotions out somehow, and defiantly not by crying.

I walk over to the punching bag and just start punching. Sweat trickled down my face and soaked my chest and back. My knuckles started hurt but I didn't care. The pain traveled down to my wrists. I still didn't care though. With each loud punch that hit the the punching bag I let out a grunt. I was so blinded by all the emotions inside me that I didn't even hear Harry entering the room.

"Why are you up so early." He asks tiredly rubbing one eye.

I just shrugged my shoulders not feeling like talking.

"Can you please stop. The sound goes to the living room and I can sleep." He says with his deeper and raspier voice since he just woke up.

I simply nodded and was about to get out of the room when he grabbed my arm, I turn around and face him. He inspects my hand looking at the fresh scratches on my red knuckles.

"Why were you not wearing boxing gloves."

I just shrug again and shook his grip off my hand and headed inside.

"Is this you're knew way of hurting yourself?" He asks me quietly.

I turn around to face him and don't know what to say. He thinks I did that to hurt myself again. I just shake my head no.

"Why are you not taking to me?" He asks sadly.

I just give him a small smile and go upstairs to my room.

How did those people know where me and Harry were? What do they want with Harry? Why were they watching us?

I close the balcony door and lock it. I also close the curtains for it.

I hear my door slowly creak open. I look at the door and Harry walks in.

"I'm not going to ask if I can come in since I'm already in." He states.

"I don't know what I did wrong but I'm sorry for what ever it is. Please just talk to me again. I won't be able to sleep, I'll just be up thinking about what I did to make you stop talking to me, so please just tell me what I did." He pleads now sitting on the bed with me.

"You did nothing wrong Harry." I say softly holding his hands in mine.

"Then why wouldn't you talk to my downstairs?" He ask.

"I'm just tired and I'm not feeling that well."

Harry's pov

"I'm just tired and Im not feeling that well." Ella says but I know she's lying.

I can tell she's lying because she's playing with her necklace and wasn't completely looking in my eyes.

"I know you're lying." I tell her.

"It's not you're fault Harry I promise." She says dropping the necklace from her hand and looking me straight in the eyes.

"It may not be my fault but why are you down?"I question.

"I'm to tired. Harry can we please just go to sleep?"

"Don't reply to my question with a question." I say to her.

She sighs and says " please."

"Fine." I give in.

"Can you stay with me tonight?" She asks looking a bit frightened.

"Sure." I reply but it sounds more like a question.

Im just confused why she want me here and why she's scared.

I lay in bed with her but keep my distance. I forget I had my phone in my short pocket so it fell to the floor with a thud.

Ella let out a small scream which confused me. She usually doesn't get scared that quick.

"Ella." I say while turning to face her.

"Yeah." She replies.

I grab her shoulder which makes her slightly jump.

"Why are you so paranoid?" I ask her.

"It's probably cause I didn't get that much sleep." She says even though I know it's not that.

"Okay." I say dropping the subject.

I hear her sigh and I turn back around so I'm not facing her. A couple minutes later I hear her voice.

"Can you come closer to me, and maybe hug me?" She asks really shyly.

I know she's blushing, but there's something wrong. Ella would usually never let me sleep in her bed let alone come close to her. She would usually threaten me that if I got close to her she would chop my balls of and feed them to me. I still agreed though.

I wrapped my around her stomach and waist. There was still space between us and I almost freeze when Ella backs up so she fits perfectly into me. We were basically spooning.

"I know you like being the little spoon but I feel like I'm safe like this. I'm sorry." She says and I could hear her yawn at the end of her sentence.

"Are you okay?" I ask being genuinely worried for her. She would never be like this.

"I'm still breathing."
