Gena's POV
I watched Harry as he peacefully slept in his bed. I'd expected him to be mad I wouldn't sleep with him, but he was a gentleman and promised to wait until I was ready. Watching him sleep, I felt the tears well up and then fall down my cheeks. I missed Niall. I'd give anything to have him back. But now I cared so much about Harry, I wasn't sure what I'd do if I DID get Niall back. would I be happy? or would I keep Harry? Harry rolled over now, his arm stretching out and over my waist. He mumbled something in his sleep, something I couldn't quite comprehend. It sounded like a slurred version of my name. His arm tightened around me, clutching me to him. I lay my head on his chest gingerly. His heart beat was steady and strong. In minutes, it hummed me to sleep.
Harry's POV
"Harry," Gena mumbled restlessly. I opened my eyes and saw her. Her body was draped over mine. her head on my chest, our legs tangled up, our hands entwined. We fit quite well together. "Harry," she said again, a little more urgent this time. For a second I thought she woken. then she rolled violently off me, her strong legs kicking free of mine as she struggled against some invisible force. "Harry!" she screamed suddenly. "Nightmare," I thought. "Gena, wake up." I said. I sat up and grabbed her shoulders. "HARRY!" she screamed louder than I thought she could. "Gena! Wake up!" I cried. I hauled her into a sitting position as her eyes flew open and she gasped. "Harry?" she questioned. "Its me, Gena. I'm here." I soothed. "I....that....oh my god..." she gasped. Her whole body trembled. I cradled her in my arms. "Shhh, baby. Im here. It wasn't real. Just a bad dream." I hushed. She took a deep breath. "Sorry I woke you," she whispered. "Are you kidding? I could get used to you screaming my name." I teased, elbowing her gently. "Shut up." she snapped playfully. "Are you okay?" I asked, yawning. "Yes." she replied quietly. "Let's go back to bed then." I said. Then I lay down with her on top of me. She shifted. "Harry," she whined. "Shh. Harry is sleeping." I said. "I want off," she insisted. "Why?" "Because I'm too heavy to lay on you all night." she said. "You had better not be trying to tell me you're fat. Gena Leanne Lauren, I will never care how heavy you are. I want you to lay on me and you to like it. So, start liking it." I said. She sighed. "Fine." she muttered. "Goodnight, beautiful." I said, kissing her in her favorite spot behind her ear. She shuddered. "Goodnight." she whispered.
*next day*
Gena's POV
I woke to the sound of my phone ringing. I climbed out of Harrys arms and picked it up. "Hello?" I asked. "Hello, Officer Lauren." the all too familiar voice spoke on the other line. "John," I hissed. I looked at Harry. He was still asleep. Good. "Of course. What other idiot would bother to call you, Gena?" he asked. I snickered. "Is that the worst insult you could come up with?" I taunted. "No. But insults never were my specialty. Hurting you, however, is. Remember your parents? They were so innocent. And let's not forget about precious little Niall. All he wanted to do was protect you, just like this Harry Styles does. But he can't. Just like Niall failed, Harry will fail. And just like Niall, Harry will die." Levvin said. My heart pounded. "How do you know who he is?" I demanded. "Oh, honey. You can thank your ex partner for that." "Louis?" I asked. Louis Tomlinson was my partner when I was a teenager, practically my brother. Why would he betray me? "Yes, Gena. Louis. He's helping me kill the boy you're falling for." John said. "You won't get near him." I snapped. "Oh, Gena. I'm already closer than I thought possible."

I threw my bag into Mike's truck in Harrys driveway. "Gena, please. There's got to be another way." Harry begged. "Haz, Louis is tracking me through my bounty hunter ID. Which means Levvin can find me. And then get to you. I won't let you be his next victim, Harry. I can't lose you like I lost Niall." Harry's best friend was there, glaring at me. "I have to get out of here. They're coming for me and I can't lose you. I'm just trying to protect you, Harry. You've gotta trust me."
Then I walked away without another word, letting Mike drive me back to the airport and away from the love of my life. Back to New York.
