5 Years Is Nothing.. --Harry Styles Fanfiction--

Chapter Nine- Damn you, Harry.

                                                       *Ali*

I was feeling a million things as I opened my eyes. But what I felt most was confusion. And the throbbing in my head. I looked around and realized I was with the boys. I was on the couch and they were currently all staring at me. I began to sit up but Niall pushed me back gently. "Don't move, Ali. Just rest." He ran his fingers through my hair and gave me a weak smile. "What happened?" My eyes looked around the room. I was expecting to hear Harry's voice. I expected him to be right next to me. Kissing my forehead. Explaing this to me and telling me whatever it was that it was going to be okay. But he wasn't there. "Where's Harry?" I questioned. I sat up. Becoming restless. "H-he's in his room." Liam spoke. I got the feeling in my stomach something was wrong.. But I wasn't sure what. "Why do you all seem so worried?" The gears in my brain kept turning. I tried so hard to remember.. Then I did. I visualized the lights. The music. The people. And the drinking. And then I remembered the worst part. What had taken place in the basement. My body cringed at the terrifying flashback. I remembered myself yelling at Harry. "STOP YOU'RE KILLING THEM" I remembered how hard I was crying at the sight of him beating the teenage boys nearly to death. And I also remembered Courtney. Laying there. Completely out of it. The sick bastards laughing and staring at her vulnerable body. Adrenaline rushed through my body as I shot up out of my seat. Slipping my shoes on and running for the door. The door remained open behind me as I pumped my legs as fast as they would go down the empty hallway. I hit the elevator button nearly a thousand times. Hot tears raced down my cheeks and I was breathing extremely heavily. I was praying to god that Courtney wasn't hurt. I needed to know that she was okay.

After running back to her house, I was told they kept her over night at the hospital in town. That's when I felt my body go numb. I ordered my brother to drive me. He asked me a million questions about last night. But I ignored all of them. I don't even remember what I did last night. And I wasn't going to answer him. Once we pulled up to the front entrance of the tall glass building. I slammed the passenger door behind me and jogged to the revolving doors. The slightly chubby blonde at the desk stopped me. "Excuse me.. Can help you?" I stared at her. She wore pink scrubs and she had the perkiest blue eyes I had ever seen. "I'm looking for my friend. She's a patient here. Uhh. Erm. Courtney.. Courtney Dawson." My eyes burned from the salty water that had been escaping them non stop. I stood there waiting as she searched the computer for my best friend's information. Her fingers moved quickly across the keyboard. I listened to the clicking. And I nearly snapped but she finally gave me an answer. "She is on the 6th floor. room 362." I thanked her quickly and headed to the elevator. I rested my head on the cold tile. Waiting for the next elevator to arrive. I sobbed quietly. This was my fault. Usually I'm the one to watch after her. That's how we work. But last night. I don't know what happened. I did stuff that wasn't like me at all. Now she was here. After for what felt like for ever the elevator got here and quickly shuffled in and stood in the corner. Wiping left over tears from my face, I watched the sleek silver doors close infront of me, There was a small space left when a hand stopped them from shutting. I watched Harry slowly come towards me. The doors closing behind him. Leaving us alone. That's when I broke down. Even more than I had earlier. My legs became weak. I nearly fell when he caught me by my elbows and pulled me closer to him. I buried my face in his chest and silently sobbed. I got a hold of myself and I seperated myself from him. And looked up at his concerned face. "You don't want to be around me right now."

"Of course I do.." He came closer but I couldn't let it happen. I was disgusting. "No. You don't" The sleek doors opened and revealed a white hallway with shitty lighting. I forced myself out of the small space Harry was in. But he followed me out. My feet moved quickly leaving him behind me. My shoes squeaked obnoxiously against the tile floor. It felt as though everything around me was moving in slow motion. My eyes scanned the numbers on the walls when I found 362 I ripped the curtain back. Only to see courtney fast asleep. I slowly walked towards her. There was a tap on my shoulder. I thought it was Harry. But I was wrong. It was a young nurse. She looked an awful lot like someone I knew. But I shook it off and listened to her speak. "I'm sorry. I just came in to check her vitals." I nodded and stepped out of her way. "Uhm. Is there something wrong with her? Is she hurt?" The young girl looked up. "No.. Not that I know of.. The doctors did a rape kit as soon as she was brought here. She'll be out by late afternoon. Her parents left for a little bit. But yes, she's fine." She nodded reassuringly and began untangling wires on her small cart. "Courtney, I'm back. Rise and shine." She joked. Court's eyes slowly fluttered open. She rubbed them gently and sat up. Her hair all tangled in the back of her head. Her normal blues were pale. The color drained from her face. She just looked out of it. But who could blame her? I grabbed the blue leather chair near her bed. It squeaked against the floor as I pulled it closer to her bed. I plopped down and sighed as I reached for her hand. Before I knew it, the nurse was gone and it was the two of us.

I filled the awkward silence. "So.. last night.. it was pretty fucked up, huh?" She managed to let out a chuckle.

"Yeah just a bit." She replied.

"Do you know where Drew and his friends ended up?" Her head moved from side to side. Indicating that she had no clue. "Well, I'm pretty sure that Harry left a few marks on drew." My hands cupped my face.

"Yeah.. Well. We're lucky he showed up, actually. I was drunk off my ass. And you were too. Maybe even a little worse." I gently shoved her shoulder.

"Ali.. From now on, never listen to me. Let's just stick to you being the leveled one."

"Pfft. Leveled? I really screwed up. Court, I danced with Drew.. And I grinded on him.." I gagged on those words. I felt sick with myself. I couldn't believe I did such an awful thing.

"Does Harry know?" Was she nuts? Of course he didn't know.

"Obviously not. But he deserves to know.." I played with my fingers and dropped them on my lap when I heard a third voice in the room.

"Are you shitting me, Ali?" I nearly broke my neck I turned  my head so quickly. Harry was standing behind the curtain the whole time. And he didn't have the decancy to let me know.

I watched him roughly walk away. Great. I muttered under my breath. Courtney spoke before I could say anything else. "Why are you sitting here? Go get him." I nodded slowly and stood up then took off into the hall. I made it halfway down the corridor just in time to see Harry turn left into a check up room. He had a sick grin on his face. I ran as fast as I could to the room he was in but I stopped in the doorway when I saw Drew sat on the table. His bruised face was swollen and pale. Harry did that? Harry brought Drew's head closer to his mouth as he harshly whispered in the kid's ear. I had no idea what he had said but whatever it was he made Drew as white as a sheet. Harry slowly backed away. His gaze on Drew. But once he was out of the room, He knotted our hands together. I didn't question it. I kept close to him. 

The silence in the elevator was too much for me. "So you aren't angry?" My eyes focused on his face. I wasn't sure what he was about to say. And it frightened me. He finally responded.

"Forget about it.. I guess we're even now.." Even? How were we even?

"Well. I hope you know that I didn't mean for it to happen. And I didn't want to hurt you. I was drinking and it all happened so quickly and Harry I know it was stup-" He stopped me there Tightly grabbed my face and brought it to his as he smashed his lips up against mine. I backed up so my body was against the elevator wall. The doors opened showing some elderly people waiting. Once they saw the current scene they awkwardly stood there as the doors closed and they waited for the next one. My arms snaked around his neck. This was the most passionate kiss I had ever shared with him. He pulled away. But I wanted him to continue  more than anything else. He laughed at me because he knew exactly what I was thinking.

"Even." He whispered. And then he walked out of the small space into the parking garage.

Damn him for being so perfect.
