These Four Walls // H.S

Chapter 22

(Aly's P.O.V)

My head was throbbing as i tried to sit up on the bed. I rubbed my eyes and looked around at my surroundings. The clock said 6:49pm, was there any point of getting up? I asked myself as i slide my feet over the edge and sat on the side of the bed. The flat was quiet, to quiet. I went to reach for the bottle of water that sat on the bedside table and thats when i  noticed a boc with a ribbon around it. I slowly reached for it and picked it up and sat it on my lap. A tear escaped my eyes as i go over what had happened. I had told Harry to leave in a way with out words and he did, my heart started to ache at me knowing he'd never come back. I pulled the ribbon off and slowly opened the box. It was a silver pandora with three small charms. H&A. I couldnt stand it, he had gotten me something that cost alot and i was rude and selfish. I placed it back on the bedside table and stood up, walking to the kitchen in search for some painkillers. I notice the kitchen was clean with a small note on the bench. I took to pain killers before i steadied myself to read the note.

Dearest Aly,

i know my son can be a handleful but i've never seen him like this, you complete my son and i'd hate to see him go back to the way he used to be. Aly i know he has put you through a lot but he'd go to the ends of the earth for you. Harry has told me why it got so bad but he also said he's change to keep you.

Happy Birthday sweetie xx

Hugs and Kisses, Anne.

I felt guilty for letting his leave, for being stuborn, but he left when he could have stayed. I didnt even know hwhere he was or how i'd reach him since i dont have any way of contacting him or anyways of going to find him because i didnt have a car. I slide down the wall in the kitchen and put my head in my hands as i started to cry. 

(Liam's P.O.V)

"Lisa hit me." I said as i asked Lisa the barmaid to get me another drink. I watched as she poured whiskey over ice and handed it to me. I took a few sips and dreaded the rest of the night.

"Well arent you a sight for sore eyes." A familiar voice spoke. I turned my head and saw Anna take a seat on the bar stool next to me.

"What do you want Anna?" I asked taking another sip.

"We made a deal and im leaving until i happens." Anna asks. She orders her drink and smirks at me.

"Well then looks like your not going anywhere."

"Well that was the plan."

"Im not going there."

"And why not?" Anna asked with a pout.

"Because your not worth it." I answered.

"Ouch."

"Anna why dont you go find something else to do."

"Because this is fun." She laughed. I rolled my eyes and took out my phone. 2 messages from Harry.

Harry: I need you to check on Aly.

Harry: Dude can you check on Aly for me.

The messages were an hour apart but i replied saying i would. It would get me away from Anna, hopefully. I finished my drink and put a twenty on the bar and walked out towards my car. I heard footsteps behind me.

"What do want Anna?" I asked as i turned  around, but it wasnt Anna. "Gavin, what do you want?"

"Did you give Styles my message?" He asked.

"Yes i did, i havent seen him since." I answered. Gavin took a step closer to me. I heard his knuckles crack as he cracked them.

"Gavin it's been to long." I heard Anna call. Gavin looked behind him and smiled. I chose now to get into the car and leave. I drove towards Harry and Aly's flat. There was no one on the streets and when i looked at the time it was almost 8. I hadnt seen Aly since yesterday so what could possibly be wrong for me to check on her.

Minutes later i pulled into the flats carpark and walked up towards her door. I knocked a few times but there was no sign of movement inside. I knocked a few more times and started calling out Aly's name and finally there was a light turned on. I listen to small foot steps walk towards the door. When the door opened i saw her, her eyes were red from crying.

"Liam?" She asked.

"Yea it's me." I asnwered. She opened the door more so i could come in. "How are you?" I asked.

"Well last night i slipt over in the kitchen and this morning Harry come home and cleaned up, leaving this pile of bags and a pandora by the bed, but other than that." She explained as tears rushed down her face.

"Hey its ok." I said closing the door and taking her in my arms.

"He's gone." Aly mumbled. I sat her down on the couch and started strocking her hair. "What if he doesnt come back?"

"He'll come back, that's why im here." I explained. "Harry asked me to make sure your ok."

"You saw him?"

"No he sent me a text message." I said placing a kiss on her head.

"Oh."

"What exactly happened?"

"I dont know Liam, one minute he is telling me he loves and the next thing he is walking out." She sais letting out a sigh. "Maybe i hit my head to hard when i slipped over."

"Well i know one thing and that is that Harry does love you."

"I know and i love him but maybe thats why he left, because i didnt say it back."

(Harry's P.O.V)

"im going out, dont wait up." I said to mum as i walked past her in the kitchen to go to the garage.

"Be careful." She called after me.

"I will." I shouted back before getting into my car. I drove out of the garage and down the street as i headed for the closest bar. I turned on the radio and it was the police report for Aly's dad so i turned it up.

Suspect Robert Devine has been found dead a month after found innocent for the murder of Des Styles. Police have asked anyone who may know any information to step forward as there may be another murderer on the loose.

I turned the radio off and turned around to go back home. But as i went to turn down the street there was a few cop cars outside mums house so i kept going. I didnt know where exactly i was going but i knew i had to go and fast. It was almost nine as i hit the freeway going south east. Maybe i'd hit the coast but before anything else i dialled Liam's number.

"Hello?" Liam asked as he answered the phone.

"Liam it's time man, i knew this day was coming but i need you to tell Aly i love her and that i'll see her soon." I said.

"Fuck man, where are you now?"

"I'd rather not say, but i'll be getting another number and i'll let you know soon, keep Aly safe." I said and then i hung up and threw the phone out the window. I cant believe they found him i was so sure we buried him deep enough away from everything else. How did they know where to find him? Millions of questions ran through my head, questions i couldnt answer.
