She's Not Afraid (1D)

Life Is So Fucked Up

**Sophie'sPOV**

I burst into the apartment, calling Taylor's name at the top of my voice. Searching every room for her. After realising she wasn't here, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialled her number.

After several rings it went to her voice mail.

"Hey this is the ultra amazing Taylor, please leave a message after the beepy thing"

"Hey Tay, where the fuck are you, let me know asap" I rushed, before hanging up and dialling Louis' number.

Harry walked into the room, plopping onto the sofa. The others had all gone their separate ways home from the police station, whereas Harry had insisted on walking me home.

"Hey Sophie, what's up?" Louis' answered.

"Are you with Taylor?" I asked, shivering slightly from the cold.

"No, I dropped her off like an hour ago, she was fine when I left?" Louis rushed, his voice panicky.

"She's not here" I said, lying back on the sofa next to Harry.

"I'll look for her, stay at home, don't go out! You've gone through enough drama tonight. Is Harry with you?" He rushed.

"Yeah he's here, hold on" I said, passing my phone to Harry.

"Hello?" Harry's voice echoed around the empty room.

I heard Louis rant on about how Harry needed to stay with me and keep me company and make sure I was ok. Seriously, he was more like Harry's Mum rather than his friend.

Harry agreed and hung up the phone, passing it back to me.

All the worries of the man and Taylor being out there on her own flooded my mind, making my eyes swell with tears again.

Obviously noticing my sadness, Harry leaned over, putting an arm around me.

"I'm gonna run you a bath" He said, brushing a finger across my face, wiping the remaining tears away.

I nodded, as he stood up and wondered out of the room.

This had been one of the shittest days of my life.

I got to my feet and walked slowly to the balcony door, sliding it open I stepped out onto the balcony. Staring off the edge, down to the long drop below. The wind blew my hair around my face, drying the tears on my face.

I took a deep breath and took a step up onto the rail. Placing one hand on the wall, I slowly started to tip myself off the edge.

I hated the world, I hated how everything always went wrong. I hated how fucked up my life was.

I released my grip from the wall and my body started to fall forwards off the railing, just as a pair of hands grabbed my waist, pulling me back.

"Sophie what the fuck!" Harry cried, his face was filled with worry.

I didn't answer, I turned my body back around to stare out at the dark, midnight sky, all the flashbacks still passing through my mind. A shiver ran down my spine as Harry put an arm around me leading me back inside.

I stared into the bathroom mirror. My hair was tangled and blown all out of place, my makeup was smudged right across my face and my eyes were red and puffy. Tear marks stained my cheeks.

Sighing I pulled off my clothes, chucking them to the side, I placed myself into the hot bubbling bath.

I sat staring at my toes, thinking about the world and how fucked everything was. How I was nearly got raped today, how my best friend could have been raped and killed by now, and how the boy I loved, didn't feel the same way.

Taking a deep breath, I dunked my head under the water, below the bubbles.

**Taylor'sPOV**

I sat in my car, staring over the city I live in. I sighed, running my hands down my face. I opened the car door and stepped outside, instantly being hit with a blast of cold air. 

I walked around to the boot of my car and opened it, pulling out a blanket. I wrapped it around my shoulders, shivering at the cold that had already gotten to me. I slammed the boot shut and locked it before wondering off, towards the tree's.

Time passed, and whether it was hours or minutes I don't know. I stumbled over branches and rocks for ages before giving up and sitting at the base of a tree, blanket still wrapped around my shoulders. 

My eyelids dropped and just as I heard someone calling my name, I slipped into the sweet abyss of sleep. 

**Sophie'sPOV**

I heard Harry's knocks and shouts from outside the bathroom, but I remained under the water, my hair waving around my face. My chest started to feel tight, making me flinch. Harry's banging on the door became louder. 

The pain was becoming too much to bare, brief flashbacks of recent memories flashed through my mind. Memories of me and Taylor growing up.

**Flashback**

"Race you to the swings!" I giggled, running awkwardy towards the swingset.

"Get out of my way!" Taylor shouted, pushing me to the side.

Pushing her back, she fell over landing on her bum.

"Ouch!" She screamed. "Help me up?" 

I reached out a hand to her as she grabbed it and yanked hard, me tumbling on top of her. We fell into a fit of giggles.

We lay on the grass staring up at the clouds.

"That one looks like  bunny!" I cheered, pointing up at a big blobby cloud.

"No, it looks like a unicorn, silly!" Taylor snorted.

We sat up and turned to face each other.

"Even when you marry Adam ,will you stay my best friend? I asked, staring into her eyes.

"Of course I will!" Taylor laughed. "Forever and ever!" 

"And were still gonna dye our hair purple and pink, when were older?" I squealed.

"For certain Soph!" She cheered.

Sticking out our pinkys we made a promise that we would always remain best friends, no matter what.

**EndOfFlashBack**

I pulled myself out of the water, gasping for air, coughing at the lack of air. Grabbing a towel I shoved my face into it, breathing deeply, just as Harry barged through the door, making me squeal, pulling the shower curtain across.

"Harry, get out!" I screamed

"Sorry, sorry" He mumbled. "I thought you were...nevermind" He said, closing the door.

Pulling my pink dressing gown around my naked body, I slipped on some matching slippers, and  giving my hair a quick blow dry, I put it up into a messy bun and strolled casually into the living room. Harry was sat on the sofa, fiddling with his thumbs as the tv played to itself.

Noticing I had walked into the room, he looked up smiling, patting the space on the sofa next to him. I sat down next to him, nuzzling my head into his neck.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and noticed I had a text from Louis.

From: Louis

Found her x

I sighed, showing the text to Harry, a grin grew across his face.

"See, told you everything eventually turns out ok." He smiled.

**Taylor'sPOV**

I opened my eyes groggily, looking straight ahead. I was still outside and the world was bobbing up and down slightly. 

I looked up and saw Louis, who must've been carrying me. Above him was the nights sky, covered in stars that shone brightly. I nestled into Louis' chest, trying to keep myself warmer than I already was. 

"Lou..." I started, but I fell back to sleep before I could finish my sentence.
