Don't Look Back // H.S au

Chapter 16

Taylor's POV

By the time we pulled up outside the house I was pretty out of it. I wasn't panicking but I'd lost quite a lot of blood and felt very light headed.

"Hey stay with me, we're home come on," Harry said lifting me out of the car as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

Harry's POV

I heard another car pull up and the others got out. Perrie came running forward seeing Taylor in my arms. Her dress was torn and her chest was exposed so I did my best to cover her with my jacket.

"What happened? Is it bad?" Perrie said, biting her lip.

"I don't know there's a lot of blood."

"Bring her inside and I'll have a look."

I followed her into the house and gently laid Taylor on the sofa. Her eyes were half closed and her skin was pale, she looked ready to pass out.

"Hey Tay love, stay with me baby. Hey I need you to look at me." I said brushing pieces of hair out of her eyes and taking her hand.

Perrie removed my jacket and seeing the state her dress was in quickly turned to the rest of the boys hovering behind.

"Hey I need an aspirin and something strong for her to drink or this is gunna be painful. Quick." They stumbled over themselves trying to all fit through the doorway at once, I rolled my eyes.

"So she doesn't need a hospital?" I asked Perrie as she opened the medical kit and began taking things out.

"It's pretty deep, but nothing I haven't stitched you up for before Styles." She smirked at me and I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks Pez."

.

An hour and a half later, after Perrie had cleaned and stitched the knife wound me and the boys were sitting in the living room, all looking grave.

Perrie was upstairs with Taylor, she's sleeping now but I felt better if someone was with her.

"What the f*ck was that?" Louis said breaking the silence.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "One of Marshal's guys. Looks like he has men in the inside." I stared at the floor. I was meant to protect her, how the hell did I let this happen.

"But you took care of him right?" Zayn questioned, I nodded. "Of course I did."

"On the inside?" Niall echoed, "so now the gang's corrupt? How the hell are we meant to finish this if we don't know who we can trust?"

"Marshal has hundreds working for him, we don't stand a chance on our own," Liam continued.

"Then we don't," I cut in. "We can't risk it, it's too dangerous. We change the plan, go off grid. We hide until the heat dies down,then we rethink."

We exchanged glances and all gave a nod I agreement.

"We're involved now which means we're all targets," Zayn said. "Better to play it safe for now."

Safe. Keep her safe.

"So all agreed?"

I received a chorus of 'yeah' s and nods.

"I ring Paul and we can be on a flight in a couple of hours."

Taylor's POV

It took tremendous effort to lift my eye lids and for a moment I had no clue where I was.

I rolled over and pain shot through my body from my stomach and it all came back to me. I groaned and wanted to hurl.
