The New Girl

Chapter 54 - Harry saves the day.

Aurora Jones.

After Carter ended the call with Harry, I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I didn't want to believe it, especially because of what Daisy told me earlier today. I refused to believe it, which is why I began struggling in Mitchell's grasp.

So many thoughts were running through my mind, thoughts I didn't want to believe. How could Harry not tell me about this? I feel so betrayed and used. Did he really think I'd allow him to run away from a child?! I can't believe I almost allowed him to walk out on this... his child. Daisy isn't exactly the best partner, but that shouldn't matter.

I shook my head as tears began spilling from my eyes, "Aurora, you have no idea if that idiot is telling the truth! Harry hasn't said anything to anyone and I can assure you, there must be some sort of explanation!" Louis shouted.

I could tell he knew I wasn't aware, I could see it in his face. He wanted me to find out, he wanted me to feel this way and to be angry at Harry. I wasn't sure why or how he knew about this said child, but I can't just think he's lying about it. Calling someone the father of child is something that doesn't happen unless there's a reason to believe he is, in fact, that child's father. So I don't think Carter is lying about this.

Carter slipped his phone in his pocket and turned to face me, "Oh my! You weren't aware of the baby? My bad, guess your boyfriend still keeps things from you." He smirked.

"Shut it, Carter! You're just as manipulative as Daisy, there's no proof of that! You have no right to say-"

"I'm guessing your best friend keeps things from you as well?" Carter smiled.

Louis glared at Carter, "And I suppose he spoke so openly about it to you?" He snapped.

Carter rolled his eyes, "Keep quiet!" He snapped, before wrapping his arm around my neck. "Keep yapping and I won't hesitate to leave a scarring scratch on her pretty face." He smirked.

I struggled in his grip, "Do it and Harry will destroy yours." I snapped.

As scared as I was about this whole thing, I knew I couldn't show how afraid I really was. I had to make sure these idiots didn't get the satisfaction of seeing me afraid, especially with how cocky they're acting. I really don't want to add onto their cockiness.

Carter chuckled, "Well aren't you brave, considering how much you're shaking." He smirked.

Of course I was afraid, who wouldn't be? I just wasn't about to let them see just how afraid I really was.

I glared at him, "I'm not afraid of you, you wouldn't hurt me. Especially with Harry on his way here. You're eye has just recovered, do you really want it to turn purple again?"

"You're acting pretty brave for someone who's in a lot of danger." He chuckled, grabbing my hair and pulling it back.

As he pulled my hair, my back leaned more toward his front and the more I tried to get away, the harder he pulled.

I clenched my jaw and prevented myself from screaming or showing any signs of pain. Of course my hair being pulled was painful, but, as I've said before, I don't want them to see how much it hurt me.

"Get your fucking hands away from her!" Harry's familiar voice shouted.

I was both relieved, yet upset to see him marching towards us. I was happy that he came to save us, but I wasn't looking forward to talking about Daisy, yet again. Why is it that she always manages to ruin my relationship with Harry without even trying?!

"Harry?" I called out, feeling every ounce of my body ache for him.

At the same time I felt so much want for him, I felt angry and confused. Of course something like this would have such a huge affect on me, especially when it was brought up so casually.

I was aware of my strong feelings for Harry and knowing there's a possibility he was expecting a child from Daisy only made me want to shut my heart down. I wanted nothing more than to stop these feelings until I knew the truth, no matter how hard it may be.

"Aurora, are you okay?" He asked, walking towards me.

I, suddenly, felt something cold being pressed against my cheek. The all too familiar knife Carter had shown me to keep me from struggling was now pressed against my cheek. "Not so fast, lover boy. The money, how." Carter's breath slithered past my ear, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

I could tell Harry didn't like seeing Carter so close to me, especially with a knife at my cheek. He was trying so hard to contain himself and not risk either of us getting hurt.

"I got the money, now leave her alone." Harry snapped, his hand tightly around the briefcase handle.

Harry slammed his suitcase against Carter's stomach, sucking the air out of him and making him fall to his knees. "You're lucky I have to take care of them. If it was just you and me, I would've beaten the shit out of you again." He snapped, before grabbing my hand and leading me away from the twins with Louis following behind.

_____________________

First of all, I just want to apologize for going MIA for a looooong time. I was having some issues and not really feeling the story anymore. Whenever that happens, I act on impulse and just delete the story I'm having so much trouble on. I didn't want that to happen because I've already worked so hard and so many of you have been encouraging me and telling me how much you enjoy this story. To prevent me from deleting this story, I went offline for a while to clear my head and open my brain to new ideas. I haven't been able to get any ideas until now, which aren't so many but I can try to work with what I've got and do my best to make it better.

Second, I will not be deleting this story. There is no way I'm ever going to give up on this story. I tend to have trouble when I'm around this area of the story, so I'll do my best to continue writing as much as possible. I'm not sure when ideas are going to come to me, since unfortunately I can just make them pop up, but I promise to get chapters to you guys as soon as possible.

And finally I just really want to thank all of you for being so patient with me and for being so understanding.

I'm sorry for updating such a shitty Chapter after so long, but I'm working on the story again and will be back to updating 5 chapters a week again soon!

I love you all so much and I hope you can forgive me for being gone so long!
