The New Direction - 1D Fanfiction

Chapter 16

Harry slowly rose to his feet. I could see in his eyes that he was going to try and attack this man. Even if it meant he would lose his life. 

Within seconds I was flung across the room, my back hit the wall and I fell onto my side. Harry had tackled the man to the floor and they were throwing punches at each other's faces. The man punched him across the face, his ring cut his cheek. He punched him again and nicked his lip. Harry spit in his fae as he kicked the man off of him and rolled them both over, he made a couple of shots on the man. They continued their fight for a few more minutes, I already knew Harry would have a black eye after this was over and dealt with. That's if he made it through it. Harry threw another punch, the man's eyes closed and his lips parted. I slowly rose to my feet and walked over to Harry, I helped him to his feet and pulled him into me. I held him closely, I never wanted him to leave me ever again.

"Harry..." I whispered.

"Yes?" He replied.

"Please don't ever leave me alone again. I never want anything like this to happen ever again."

"I won't. We still have until next month until your parents come home."

"Thanks Harry."

"It's my job, you're my girl." He grinned pecking me on the lips.

"So uh... Do you think he's dead?"

"I don't think I hit him that hard." He approached the man and rested his fingers on his neck. He sighed. "He's alive, just unconscious." 

"I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. He did threaten to kill us all."

"I'll protect you from anything."

I smiled at him and hugged him once more, my head rested on his chest. His heartbeat was strong and confident. He grasped my hand and we walked out of the room and down the hall. We ran through the halls looking for an exit.

 We burst through a pair of doors at the end of the hallway, somehow we had found the party again. Nobody paid attention to us which was a good thing, nobody would have to know about the literally, mind blowing experience that we had just had. Harry linked his arm through mine and we walked towards the food table. We each took some appetizers and a cup of sparkling water. The both of us headed over to a booth only a few feet away from us, we both sat down and quietly ate our food and drank our drinks. I had a weird feeling someone was still watching us.

We had made it through the party alive. But neither of us had seen or heard from Niall or Amanda since the encounter at the party. Harry and I were now lying in his bead in the apartment he was living in. He had moved out of his mother's place a few months ago when he turned eightteen; he had is muscular arm wrapped around my frail shoulders. My fingers played with his loose curls, his soft and caring eyes stared into mine as my attention was fixed on his incredible hair. 

"You have such beautiful eyes you know?" He laughed softly.

"Shh." I whispered as I pet his face.

We softly laughed at my comment for a few moments. The tv was on and weren't really paying attention to it, we were more interested in each other. Neither of us had bothered to call Amanda or Niall to see if they were okay. I thought about it but I really didn't want to ruin the good mood I was in just in case they weren't okay. I shrugged it off and pulled out my phone, I clicked on Amanda's number and it started to ring. 

"Hello..." She weakly said, sounding like she was in pain.

"Amanda, are you guys okay? We didn't see you after you and Niall ditched us when they guy was trying to kill me." I quietly asked.

"Just really fucking tired and sore. I had been in that chair for hours and he knocked us all around big time. We've both got a black eye, busted lip, he's got a couple broken ribs and his nose is starting to bruise."

"Where are you two?" Harry jumped in.

"The hospital. I don't know shit about this kind of stuff. Niall's still unconsious, he fainted in the car on the way here."

"Well we have our fair share of injuries too. Harry's got a black eye and busted lip too, he's been complaining about his shoulder. I would't be surprised if it were dislocated or something. Me, I'm just a little traumatized and my head hurts like a bitch." I groaned.

"You guys should probably come down here and get those checked out. That guy was pretty gruesome."

"Yeah I'm thinking about it." I paused. "We'll be there soon."

"See ya soon."

I hung up and slowly jogged out to my JEEP. Harry slowly dragged his feet behind me, I went back for him and helped support his wait. I helped him walk all the way to the car and into his seat, he was looking a little light headed. I nervously pulled out of the driveway and into the road infront of my house. Hopefully he wouldn't black out on me before we got the hospital.

*****

We had been driving for roughly an hour by now, traffic was barely moving and Harry looked like he was going to be sick or something. I kept messing with his hair every ten minutes or so to see if I could get a reaction from him to know he was still with me. He'd weakly smile at me then go back to the blank glare he had been doing since we got into the JEEP. He was staring to make me really anxious to get to the hospital, I needed to know what he heck was the matter with him and fast. 

 I let out a deep breath, I was getting really nervous. Harry was losing colour in his face, faster with each passing minutes. He was almost as pale as snow, yet he was sweating; his hair was wet and it rested on his forehead. I passed him a water bottle but he didn't do anything with it. After dealing with enough pain and stress I used the phoning app in my JEEP to call 911. 

"Hello you've reached 911 please state your emergency." A man said. 

"My name is Hailey and my boyfriend he's- he's getting really pale, he's not moving and he's sweating and I'm getting really scared." I chocked out.

"Hailey it's going to be okay, did this just happen?"

"It's getting worse, he's almost lost all the colour in his face. He's not responding to me anymore." 

"Where are you now?"

"We're on our way to the hospital, we have some friends there."

"Okay, just keep going and try to relax. Did anything traumatizing happen recently?"

"Yeah some guys attacked us at our graduation party. They beat him and our friend really bad, from what I know there's broken bones and that's it." 

"He could be going into shock from it. I just have to ask you to remain calm and we'll send some police escorts to your current location to help you. They'll take you to the hospital faster, just pull over for now and try and cool him down. Turn on the air conditioning and just keep talking to him. 

"Okay, I'm pulled over now." My voice cracked a little. "Harry? Harry are you still with me? Please answer me." A few tears streamed down my face and onto my lap. "Please, Harry please don't leave me."
