Shattered - |d.s|

N i n e t e e n

More days pass and I wait. Wait for any signals that they would come and help me. I've built this hope in my mind. This hope that I can escape.I can be free. I can be happy. Everyday that comes, I take it with a smile. Whatever Harry says, I endure it. I don't fight. That's how I live now.

Whenever Harrys not around, I check on the phone in case if anything has been sent. Unfortunately there's nothing. I also figured out that the phone is Harry's 'spare phone'. He used to use it before to finalize drug deals but, apparently not anymore. I figured this out because of the text messages that he had not bothered to delete. I still keep it in its place in case my assumptions are wrong.

The thing that I still haven't figured out is how they know each other. I've checked everything on the phone; calls, text, face time. Everything but I still haven't found out how they know one another.

Is Dan doing drugs? I thought of that for a minute and then I snacked myself in the head for even thinking of that. If he was, I would have smelt it from him. I would have noticed. If Kyle knew he was doing it, he would have definitely told me.

The picture, where both of them are together and Harry has his arm around Dan, also surprises me. When did they meet? Dan's always at home, and whenever he's not, he tells me where he's going. What shocks me even more is that I know the picture is taken recently. Harry looks exactly the same, wearing all black. In fact, I've seen him wearing the same t-shirt, two days ago. Dan's wearing a t-shirt that I had gifted to him. If they have been together, how come I don't know about it?

I also debated if i should ask Harry. I could make him his favourite meal and then maybe ask him? But, I know he won't tell shit to me. instead, hell ask how I know Dan. Maybe even slap me around the face. I shudder at the thought. When they come and rescue me hopefully, I'm sure I'll get the answers.

Only if they do rescue me. My mind voices back.

Harry has began to loosen up on the 'rules'. I think he's getting bored of me. Maybe he will release me?

Today, we are going to H&M. I need more clothes, I didn't know I would permanently stay here. he relentically agreed. He parked the car, in front of the shop and got out. I followed behind.

"What do you want?" he asks sternly, pushing his way past the crowds.

"Jeans" I reply, relived that I can smell and take fresh air. It's been ages since I've been aloud outside. In that time it has snowed as their is still some snow left, covering the ground.

We wander around looking for jeans. I didn't really need jeans but, I was happy that I was out of the house. I take my time, browsing through the clothes, feeling each material. I grab one of the shelves, I didn't partially care, I can sense that Harry was getting impatient. I pick it and hand it to him, he begins walking to the men section and I follow behind closely.

He ends up picking a t-shirt. The t-shirt is white however, it has a skull image imprinted over the fabric. Dan has the same t-shirt. I close my eyes trying to not think about him. The more I think of him the more I long for his touch.

After he pays, he takes me to subway and tells me to order food. He's being awfully kind and that's scaring me. He's never like this. Maybe he feels guilty? But, that's not true, the old Harry would feel guilty not this monstrous one. He tries to make small talk with me and respond either nodding or saying a few words. He eventually gives up and we eat in silence.

I stare outside of the window and eat simultaneously. The suns shining now, melting all the left over snow that was left on the ground. People buzz around, dodging the snow.

Flashback

I walked into Dan's room and new instantly something was wrong. He had his head on the table, crumbled up paper was scattered around the room.

"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

"I can't think of any lyrics." He sighed, lifting his head and then immediately putting it back down.

"Don't stress. If your going to be stressed, you won't be creative." I softly said, rubbing his back.

"I need to come up with something, I'll be recording soon."

"Dan your causing pressure on yourself. I'm sure you can do this another day."

He leaned back on the chair and tugged my arm until I was in front of him. I sat down on his lap and he put his arms around my waist. I leaned my head towards his chest and lightly kissed his jaw.

"What would I do without you Ellie." He muttered, resting his chin on my shoulder.

What would I do without him.

End of flashback

We leave the subway and go back home. It's around 6 now. He blindfolds me so I don't know the way back.

Harry ends up leaving again and returned after a few hours.

He's drunk and angry. As usual.

He walks up to me and drags me by my hair. I scream out in pain.

"You told someone, didn't you!" He roars, slapping me across the face. I whimper and try to shield myself. He yanks my arms and twists them, causing pain to shoot from my arm. I yelp in pain, trying to free myself.

Suddenly, the door bursts open.

Harry grabs his gun from his pocket and points it towards the door. My eyes widen as I see who it is.

Dan and police officers behind him.

"Dan watch out!" I yell.

The bullet fires and I close my eyes, screaming.
