Harry's POV

I don't know what's wrong with me. Why did I have to do this? Why couldn't I just be normal? I hated being the reason to provoke the fear in this girl's eyes, but now that I had grabbed her out of her seat I couldn't just let her go. Everyone would just have to deal with this now.

I looked down at the small shaking girl that I now had pressed tightly against my chest. My arm was around her waist which kept her pinned against me and her back would have been pressed against me if it hadn't been for the backpack she had on. I kept my gun pressed against her head as I made my way back over to Niall. He looked at me, then at the girl, and back at me with a confused expression on his face, but I shook my head and matched his confusion with a look of my own.

The sound of a gun shot made me jump and I began following Niall to the back exit. I don't even know why it scared me. That's the signal Liam always used to tell Niall and I that all the money was collected and now it was time to go.

Niall looked back at me and then at the group of people that were on the floor cowering in fear. He rolled his eyes slightly. "Everyone, stay quiet for the next ten seconds. Anyone gets up or tries to run will be shot," He deepened his voice slightly just in case anyone was able to recognize his accent.

We both started walking to the back exit again and I pressed the head of my gun more firmly against the girl's temple. She let out a soft whimper and tensed up slightly as I leaned forward a bit to whisper in her ear. "The same goes to you."

A soft shiver ran down her spine as my breath hit her ear, and I smirked a bit in delight at the reaction.

A couple of minutes later we were now at the back exit, which was slightly open meaning that Liam and Louis were already outside, so we walked out of the doorway. I pulled her closer to my chest as I wasn't exactly sure how my friends would react. Niall was only confused, but he didn't speak because he didn't want to get distracted on a job like this. I probably should have followed his example and look where that got me. If I hadn't been so focused on looking at the scared faces of the people in that building I wouldn't have saw her.

Niall and I made our way to the van where Louis and Liam were tossing bags of money to Zayn. None of them noticed the girl that I was holding, but it was only a matter of time. Especially since Niall just cleared his throat to get their attention.

Their gazes all focused on me and then the girl with confusion and curiosity. None of them spoke for a good two minutes and I think what snapped them out of their trance like state was the sound of police sirens.

Louis looked straight at me and broke the silence. "Ha,-" He paused and glanced at the girl once more with a frown on his features. "What the hell did you do?" he whispered.

I looked down at the girl and frowned slightly. She was shaking and I could see the wetness on her cheeks as the situation was finally sinking into her. She was now our hostage. I shook my head slightly. "There's no time. Get the money into the van. And I'll...," I trailed off and glanced at her again.

"You'll get her into the van," Liam finished for me with a tone that showed he clearly didn't like what I had done. He was always the one with the plan and now I had did something that he didn't have a plan for. It irritated him, but I knew he wasn't making a big deal of it yet because he didn't want to frighten the poor girl more than I already had.

I nodded slightly and pulled her over to the back of the van. The lads made some room on the side so I could pull her inside. I looked at her and chewed on my lip for a moment. "Climb into the van. Quickly."

She gulped slightly and glanced at my gun before she slowly climbed into the van.

I followed her lead and sighed quietly as a roll of duct tape was passed over to me. As I held it in my hand I looked at her. "Hold out your hands."
