The Love Game (Harry Styles)

Chapter 17

Last chapter…

The door opened and I gasp and scooted as far as I could against the corner of the wall. There stood Mario with a weak and forced smile.

“It’s time.” He says weakly. I nod my head and let a tear fall from my eyes. He unties me, then re-ties the ropes around my wrists behind my back. We walk down to the dark hall way until we reached the empty space I found myself the first day. But this time, I was able to see. It was huge and empty, the paint was peeling off the walls, giving a really creepy vibe. There stood Leo, his serious and scary face as always. But he wasn’t alone. I barely got myself to a whisper.

“Trey?”

*Harry’s POV*

A man in a ski mask opens the door. He was almost a foot taller than me, but I stood my ground. Marie, on the other hand, is shaking like a leaf in the middle of a hurricane.

“Is this her?” the man asks in a deep, monotone voice.

“Y-yes.” I said. I swallow hard as he nods and moves out of the way for me and Marie to walk in. we walk into the dark room slowly. Once we were a few steps inside, the door slam, causing Marie to jump. The room was completely dark. The windows where closed off from the inside, so no light in, or out.

“Hello?” I said weakly. A light turns on and shines singly on Leo, seated comfortably on a chair, holding a drink, smiling at us. Marie moves closer to me until she was pressed against my chest. Memories of the nightmare I had two nights before flooded my mind, the situation replayed over and over again.

“Well done, Harry, I thought you were going to flake out on the deal.” He says casually. He finishes off his drink then throws the glass behind him. The glass shatters loudly in the darkness. Marie then jumps in fear. I squeeze her shoulder slightly to calm her down.

“W-where is she?” I asked, a little bit louder than when I first called out in the darkness. Leo chuckles and shakes his head.

“You mean your little girlfriend?” he holds out his hand in a swift motion, the light next to him turns on and shows Jane. She was wide-eyed in fear. She was standing, but barely, she was being held by another goon in a ski mask. Her clothing was more tattered than in the video, her hair the same mess. A cloth wrapped around her face covered her mouth, keeping her from speaking. She shook around, trying to get her bonds loose, she tried to talk, but all that came out was repeated muffles.

“Jane!” I yelled. Marie stands up straight, but doesn’t say a word.

“So your name is Jane?” said Leo slyly. He gets off from the chair and walks over to her. Jane flinches back but Leo grabs a chunk of her hair to keep her still. Jane’s nose flares up in anger as he chuckles at her anger.

“Don’t you dare touch-” I yelled out in anger, but he hold up his hand, cutting me off.

“You know, you were a tough one. I thought you’d never break.” He says barely audible. He cups her chin with his other hand. She tries to get her face away from him, but was useless to the fact that he had a hold of his hair.

“Such a pretty thing. Such spirit. Too bad I didn’t get to know you better.” She begins to freak as she tries to shake her face away from him. He throws her face to a side and she falls over. Now Marie’s gentle hands are holding me back than me comforting her. My anger built up inside me, but I kept whatever cool I had left. He walks over and sits back down on the chair.
