Don't Look Back Darling

Chapter 57

Paityns POV

My feet were about to give out and my heart was pounding so fast and hard I thought it would burst any second. My breathing was uneven and sweat was dripping down my forehead because of the sun pounding down. I was weak and hungry making it even harder for me to run to a hotel about a mile and a half away know. Plus my messed up arm that was ponding with pain and still bleeding with the bullet still buried in my flesh. Harry was in front of me as we sprinted down a back ally way turning into a street full of New Yorkers. Harry was lightly injured but not as bad as me that's why he was in front of me plus running faster. "We are close Paityn, be careful!" Harry called back as I pushed past people trying to get closer to Harry. Someone grabbed my arm pulling to through a group of people and into another ally way. "You need to take a break" Harry said his chest rising and falling fast showing he was out of breath like me. "No Harry there is no telling what Luke did back at the hotel we have to go" I rushed out. "Listen love you have been shot, ok?! You are running down a street crowed with people trying to get to a hotel one mile away. Luke isn't chasing us anymore we lost him lets just call a cab and stop running."

I pushed Harrys arm off of me taking a deep breath "This is crazy Harry. Is it to much to ask for something great once in a while? Just once Harry." I pulled my hair up in a high pony tail with a ponytail holder that just happened to be on my arm from the concert. That helped with the hotness and the sweat running down my neck "It isn't a lot to ask but it's life Paityn, unfortunately it just happened to be your life." I shut my eyes leaning my head back on the brick wall taking in deep breaths "We can't just barge in the hotel because their will be security or something don't you think?" Harry said. "We can't call the police because what if their not their anymore? It's up to us I guess" I opened my eyes looking at Harry "Ready to run?" I asked making him roll his eyes as I started running once again.

Harrys POV

Once again we were running down the crazy streets of New York pushing past people trying to get to the hotel getting curse words here and there. I got ahead of Paityn again but she was close behind as I saw we were about a half a mile away. I was praying in my head that everyone was ok and safe especially Niall with his shoulder. In the distant the hotel started showing through the other buildings because it was taller then the rest. I didn't feel hope or happiness which I had hopped because I had a terrible feeling that something was wrong. My gut has never been wrong which made my legs carry me faster making Paityn fall behind. "Harry slow down a bit!" She called but I knew something was wrong and I couldn't slow down not yet. I didn't want to run when Paityn wanted but this time I'm ready to run, and nothing was going to stop me.

Paityns POV

Harry sprinted ahead and I lost him in the crowd after calling after him but Harry didn't hear me I suppose. I wanted to slow down and take a break but my feet just wouldn't stop moving so I kept running. The hotel was growing closer and my hope was also growing but something deep down was destroying that hope. A couple more yards, just a couple more yards was all I needed and I would be in that hotel. My arm was throbbing and I was starting to get dizzy but I kept running and I wasn't going to stop. Harry was long gone no matter how hard I ran I couldn't spot his brown curly hair in the crowd of people huddled together. I gave up on looking for Harry and was just focused on the building that was now way closer then it was a couple minutes ago. I was up to the last crosswalk when it started counting down from twenty and I couldn't let it go down to zero. I ran as fast as I could if it was even possible as I approached the crosswalk and I spotted Harry running across. He had just finished the crosswalk running into the hotel main lobby of the 'Four Seasons Hotel' way ahead.

5, 4 I ran across the crosswalk 3, 2 so close 1 and the cars pressed the gas and I was tackled to the sidewalk as a car almost hit me. My head hadn't hit the concert but my back had making pain shoot up to my head. The dizziness made it worse but I closed my eyes before reopening them seeing who had tackled me to the cement. As my vision cleared I saw who had saved me I assume from that car, "You have to be careful when crossing in New York." I pushed him off getting up "Get away from me Jimmy" I hissed brushing myself off real quick looking towards the hotel. "You made a huge mistake darling" he smirked at me "Get away!" I yelled making people look and give strange looks. "Your coming back to the car and we are going to the airport" he spat grabbing my arm. "No Jim" I hissed pulling my arm "I came to do something and you will not stand in my way this time" I turned and sprinted towards the hotel lobby and through the doors. "There she is!" A women yelled and I looked to see a blonde headed women at the front desk and then saw security turn and look at me and their was Harry being held by a security guard making my hope totally vanish once again.
