"Hold my hand" he instructed "For safety you know?" I nodded enlacing my fingers in between keeping myself with him as we walked in between the streets of our broken neighborhood. 

Shards of glass laid all across the road, bottles of whiskey thrown at walls left to shatter on the road. 

I kept my head down when we came across people making sure to not make any eye-contact with anyone else besides harry. "lookie here, harry's got himself a girl" They snickered. I was disgusted by the looks they gave me they're eyes were enough to tell me the things they had in mind or I at least imagined they had in mind.  "how much did she cost ya harry?" They began again, suddenly I felt one grasp onto my waist roughly. "She's not a prostitute don't you call her that!" his voice deepened and darkened this was a side of harry I have never seen before. Was he like this with everyone else but me? "Lets not forget the debt you owe me?" he smirked tugging me slowly towards his side.

"I'll pay you back just fuck off for now alright?" His voice weakened. "Wh-at debt?" I built the strength to say. "So she speaks?" He smiled "What debt?" I spoke once again more sternly. "Your friend here owes me two grand" He chuckled. I gasped looking up to harrys face, he was embarrassed and ashamed of what was going on, his eyes stayed flat on the ground "Two grand?!" I raised my voice. "What the hell did you do?!" I began to panic. "Nothing" he pushed me away roughly, "Your friend here takes me for granted you think it's alright to take my drugs and leave me like a fool?" He growled. "I'll pay you back" He shook his head grasping onto my wrist, "Har, I want the money in my hands by the end of the month or you will be fucking off the grid you know what I mean" He stabbed his cigarette into harry's arm "Stop!" I pushed him off. "Get the hell out of my sigh!" pushing us away. I began walking by myself 

"Ashley please.."

"No Harry!" I screamed before running into the distance, "Ashley" he screamed before me.

I thought I left for my own good, I always believed there was a better part of something waiting for me out there but apparently I was wrong. There was nothing good for me except for drug dealers marking me as a target, or being violently touched by strangers. 

Rain began to fall quickly from the sky, "Mom..I need you right now" I whispered loud enough making eye contact with the sky "I love you mom"  Tears fell down my face, I've never felt so alone in my entire life, I felt hands grasp around my waist a slight shriek escaped my lips. I felt his hand cover my mouth and he pushed me into the brick wall. My strength weakened I suddenly stopped fighting what was the use of fighting when you knew in the end you were never going to win "I'm so-rry" his hot breath caused my skin to tingle. I looked away not bothering to make contact and fall for harry's tricks "I don't want to talk to you harry" I left my eyes shut tightly "At least hear me out alright?" 

"His name is David alright and a while back I bought a shit ton of weed and drugs from him you now? He's a famous drug dealer but I promise you ash he isn't going to lay a finger on you alright? I forbid that from happening alright? I'll find the money you don't worry alright. Remember it's me harry the one you love your best friend it's still me alright?" he kissed my forehead softly.

Suddenly harry wasn't the my harry anymore.
