I HAD MY LAST EXAM TODAY, AND SCHOOL IS OFFICIALLY OUT FOR THE YEAR! YEAH BABY!! xxx

***Melanie's P.O.V****

 

I sat on the couch biting my thumb, sobbing, feeling alone and broken. I missed him so much already, and the pain was too strong. The thought of Harry being behind bars forever, never let out to see me or Darcy again was heart breaking, and sadly very likely.

Harry had murdered several people, and kidnapped me. All of that was enough to put Harry behind bars for the rest of his life. Although now I loved Harry, and I could lie and say he didn't, there were still the charges of murder.

"Melanie?!" Alex called through the house. Seconds later he appeared, racing over to me, worry etched on his features.  He pulled me into him, hugging me, and I hugged him back. I sobbed and sobbed, soaking his shirt in my tears and running mascara, and he let me, comforting me.

"What happened?" he whispered, wiping away my tears with his thumb, worry and pain filling his eyes. "Where is Harry? Did he hurt you? I swear if he-"

"No." I whispered. "He didn't hurt me."

"Then what happened? I hate seeing you like the kiddo." he whispered.

"The police...they arrested him." I croaked, choking on my tears, unable to contain all the pain I was feeling.

"What? how did they find out?!"

"Ashton." I spat, like his name was venomous.

"That fucker again? I'm going to kill him for real this time!" he hissed.

"Lex..what am I going to do?" I cried.

"We're going to get him out of that cell, Mel. I promise you." he encouraged. "Liam and the boys are on their way, and we'll figure something out."

"But what if we can't?" I cracked.

"That's not even an option." he whispered. "Harry will get out of prison by the time the sun sets." he promised.

"Mel?! Mel, where are you?" I heard Louis call.

"Lounge." Alex called back, the boys running in and hugging me.

"Something happened to Harry? Where is he?" Zayn asked, rubbing my back to try and calm me down.I shook my head and glanced at Alex, and he nodded, understanding I couldn't say it again.

"Ashton called the damned police, and they arrested him." he summed up.

"Where is that prick?! I'll beat the shit out of him!" Niall fumed. "They can't lock him away right? Harry is the father to Darcy! They can't lock him away!"

"They can. Which is why we need to lie to get him out." Liam sighed, looking at me.

"Mel, they arrested him for kidnapping and murder, right?"

"Suspected. They said that they have to follow up Ashton's tip off, but until then, he's not in the clear." I sighed.

"So we tell them that Ashton did it." Liam explained. "We say he kidnapped you because  he was jealous of you and Charlie. He shot Kendall when he got in the way. Harry saved you, and Ashton escaped. He found out about your wedding, came to stir up trouble, and got in a fight with Harry. Ashton was pissed and wanted revenge."

"Will that work?" I mumbled, feeling beyond useless.

"You're the victim in this case Mel, the police will believe anything you say." Louis encouraged.
