Chapter 10: "Oh god, look at your face!"

Amelia's P.O.V

I wrap my arms around my head, protecting myself from the sharp glass. The cars continue to screech outside, as we try to scramble towards the broken windows.

"Are you okay?" I hear Carter ask behind me.

Me and Bree numbly nod and start to stand up.

"Don't put your hands on the floor" says Harry, offering me a hand. I look up at his hand and then into his eyes. He cocks his head towards his hand waiting for me to take it. I ignore his hand and use the table for support. I brush myself off and turn to face him.

I take a deep breath and raise my hand slapping his cheek. Harry quickly grabs his cheek, rubbing it.

"What the hell was that for?" he demands

"For not even calling me" I say. I know it's not his fault but worrying for all these years, I just had to get it out. I see both Carter and Bree gawking at me in surprise.

I walk past him and towards the window. But I don't quite make it to the window as Harry's hand grasps my hands. I jerk my hand out from the sudden touch and he looks at me in surprise.

"W-wha..? Did...I sleep with you and not call you back or something?" he asks, clearly confused

I sigh frustratingly, "You have no clue who I am?"

"Yeah Amelia?" he says

"But that's all you know" I confirm, with a nod

He looks down and lamely shrugs.

I spin on my heel and look outside.

"Oh my God" I breathe, "Guys look!"

"What? What is it?" asks Bree, running towards me

"Holy crap" mutters Harry beside us. "What the fuck is his problem? When was blowing up cars part of the plan?" he says to himself

All three of us look at him questionably.

"What do you mean H-Harry?" says Carter, hesitantly using his name still not believing he's actually here

"Nothing" he quickly replies

"What are you not telling us?" demands Carter, suddenly

"It's nothing" says Harry again

"You're lying" I state, reading his facial expressions.

"Of course he is, he's never been a good liar" says Bree

"What? How do you even...what?!" he shouts, bewildered.

"We need to go" says Carter, now walking away from the window.

"B-but..." I start, "...What about Harry?" I murmur quietly

"What about me?" asks Harry

Carter looks at Harry properly for the first time. A silence passes us, until a few moments later, the look on Carter's face tells us he's made a decision and we'll stick by it no matter what.

"Leave him" he simply answers

"WHAT?" shout me and Bree together.

"Do you even know what the situation is right now?" Bree hisses at Carter

Carter looks at Bree blankly, "I'm very aware of it Bree, but what can we do?" he says irritatingly. "Want me to fucking kidnap him?!"

Before I could argue, I get cut off.
