"Oh hello Delilah." His words filled with venom with a smirk plastered across his face making me feel uncomfortable

"Hello, Adam right?" I asked politely.

"Yes, where's Harry?" He asked as I walked past him.

"Oh I'm not sure." I say and feel him walking behind me.

"Oh is that um good." He said grabbing my arm to face him.

"I guess" I said pulling my arm out of his grip.

"You do realize he never loved you right? He used you because he knew you were easy." He tells me with a evil grin playing on his lips.

"Harry wouldn't do that." I snapped walking down the stairs.

"Oh but you don't know him like I do Del."

"Don't call me Del, only my friends and family call me that." I said with attitude as I searched for someone I knew.

"I know something that Harry isn't telling you." He whispers in my ear and walks away. What is he talking about? What is Harry not telling me? I see the back of Harry's head he's leaning against the back door looking outside. I take a deep breath and walk towards him.

"H-Harry, I need to talk to you." I tap his shoulder making him jump. He turns around and looks down at me.

"What?" He snaps.

"What the hell is your problem?" I snap back.

"Oh I don't know maybe watching MY girl make out and grind against some manwhore!" He barks back.

"I'm not your girl Harry." I snap

"Let's go" he says and pulls me through the house and outside to his car. I feel bad for leaving Logan but he was with a girl dancing so it's alright. I think..

I figure out by the buildings we are passing we are going to his apartment. The ride is silent, it's a comfortable silence I guess. He hasn't said a word since he pulled me out of the party. Moments later he parks the car and I follow him up the stairs to his flat.

"Are you hungry or thirsty?" He asked as we walk inside. This dress is really uncomfortable and I'm sure I'm going to stay the night.

"No but can I have something to change into?" I ask him and he nods. I follow him into the bedroom where he hands me one of his freshly used t-shirts and a pair of clean boxers. I thank him and go into he bathroom where I change and take off most of my makeup. I walk back into the now empty room. I fold my dress and place it on the dresser before walking out of the room and into the living room.

"Hi" I squeak and sit down Indian style on the couch.

"Explain" I simply tell him and he paves back and forth before talking.

"Promise me one thing. If I tell you this you cannot be afraid of me." He says with all seriousness in his voice.

"I promise." I whisper and he takes a deep breath and scrunches his eyebrows together, he's trying to think of a way to tell me something. He closes his eyes for a second and then begins.

"Zayn and I are apart of this, this well group. Adam is the main guy and he makes me and Zayn, "take care" of guys and get the money that they owe him. I've been trying to get out of the group or whatever you want to call it, for years. I'm not proud of what I've done but I can't just get up and leave. Adam has some of my darkest secrets and no one can find out." He stops and takes another breath before continuing.

"Ever since you have given me a chance I've been trying to get out even harder. I haven't done anything that he's asked me to do, and Mariah told him it was because of you. H-he told me that if I didn't break it off with you he would tell everyone my secret. I could go to jail for what I did. It was an accident, and most of it was Adams fault but he has a better history that I do, therefore the cops will believe him. I'm so sorry for just leaving you like that but I didn't have a choice. Then seeing you with Logan really pissed me off and I couldn't help but try to get you back. I miss you, I miss the person I am when I'm with you, I miss us. This past week as been complete HELL. No matter how many times you tell me that your not my girl, you are. You are MY girl and no one will take you away from me Delilah. No one." He growls.

"I love you so much. I hope you understand now why I left you." He finishes softly. I'm tongue tied, all of this mess was because of Mariah and Adam. Then again, what has he done that could send him to jail?

"What does Adam have over you?" I asked softly.

"W-Well for starters I have some anger issues. I have to take medicine or I can't control my temper and things get really bad. It's pathetic that I take medicine, I know. You deserve better Delilah. I'm so fucked up and your so perfect." He says not looking at me. I stand up and walk over to him. I put my arms around his waist and he instantly wraps his arms around me.

"I don't care anymore Harry. I love you. I don't care that you take medicine, you do deserve me and so much more. I love you Harry Edward Styles. You hear me?" I kiss his chest and he sighs.

"T-there's one more thing. You will probably leave me, it's an awful thing that I did. It was a total accident though. You have to believe me Delilah. I can't lose you." He looks so vulnerable and hurt.

"Just tell me Harry." I say quietly.

"I-I killed a man.." He whispers searching my eyes for some kind of response. My arms dropped from around him and my eyes went big. He did what?
