Already Gone (Harry Styles / One Direction)

London?

Josh and I are standing outside the little room where the nurses and 2 officers are with Maddie. I cant believe what I walked up on when I went to the bar. Maddie was crying and trying to get out of Ethan's grasp, to hear the way she screamed for him to stop. It burns threw me as I feel the anger rise again. My girl with blood on her face the way she winced when I touched her. I wanted to kill him and probably would have if she wouldn't have begged me to stop. I run my fingers through my hair trying to calm myself. I have been away for 2 months working double time to get back to her, just to find her the way I did. I slam my hands down on the window seal, angry because I wasn't there to stop this before it started. If I would have been there with her she wouldn't be sitting in a room as strangers snapped pictures of her naked body.

"Haz calm down she's ok now." Josh says as I slam my fist down again. Ok? She's far from ok, she may say she is but I see the fear in her eyes. The way she clung to me shaking. The thought of him putting his hands on her. I look over when the door to her room creeps open, as one of the nurses steps through. She looks up at us with a sad smile and my stomach turns from it.

"She is asking for you." She glances between Josh and me as she places her hand on Josh's arm. "She ask that we not call your father so we didn't." I look over at her and I realize she must know them and Josh confirms when he answers.

"Thank you Mrs. Johnson, you know how stubborn she can be." She smiles up apologetically and I can see she cares a lot about the 2 of them.

"You know I don't understand this world anymore. Friends turning on friends, it's such a shame." He nods down at her and she's right. This world has gone mad, senseless abuse and people causing harm to others. She walks away and I turn to Josh as he pushes my shoulder towards the door and he follows. I turn the handle slowly afraid of seeing my girl inside, afraid of the anger I will show when I see the marks across her face. We walk in and I see her sitting on the edge of the small bed with a nurse cleaning her face and the 2 officers sitting in front of her. One has a notepad taking notes as the other I assume is asking her questions. She looks up from her hands that are in her lap and her eyes meet mine. She smiles a small smile but it doesn't reach her eyes and I know she is faking trying to keep me calm. The officers notice her stare and turn back looking at us. Their eyes travel down my long frame landing on my know bandaged hand.

"Josh." The blonde one says nodding at Josh. Josh nods walking over taking his hand and giving it a shake.

"Michael." Josh says to him and looks over at Maddie. "So what's going to happen now?" Maddie's eyes shoot over to them watching as her brother ask the question I wanted so badly to know the answer to. Michael turns to me nodding with a tight smile.

"Mr. Styles you can come over if you like, I know Maddie wants you to." I nod and Maddie looks up and exhales a breath. I walk over to her and sit on the small bed beside her. I place my large hand on her thigh and she instantly relaxes. Our eyes follow over to Michael as he speaks again. "Well now that the cut on her cheek has finally stopped bleeding we can take pictures. I wanted you 2 in here when we did this because this can be a little nerve racking." He looks between us and I tighten my grip on her small thigh. I know she is nervous when she places her tiny shaking hand on mine. "Whenever you are ready Maddie." He looks at her and she groans and I feel her body tense again as it was when I sat down.

Standing she moves to stand between my knees and I wonder what she is doing. Her eyes find mine as I hear her take a deep breath. She places her hands on the bottom of the top she is wearing and raises it over her head. I suck in a breath when she reveals her arms from the long sleeves. Bruises cover her arms in the shape of fingers. I look back at her face as she stares at me. I reach out and take her hands in mine. Michael and the other guy stands as Josh moves to stand behind them.
