Shattered - |d.s|

T w e n t y

I open my eyes when I hear Harry screaming.

The police officers shot Harry in the leg, making him collapse onto the ground. They shot him before Harry could hurt Dan.

Dan runs up to me and pulls me into a hug. I hold on to him for dear life, afraid he will disappear. Tears pour from my eyes. When I look into those beautiful blue eyes I haven't seen in ages, they hold so much sadness.

"Harry? How the fuck could you do this? I thought you changed when I last saw you. You piece of shit." Dan spits, anger filling his eyes.

"How did you know him?" I whisper, burying my head on Dan's chest as the police officers dealt with Harry.

"He was my childhood best friend. I called him Hal, only I could call him that. Remember when I said I would be out all day, I went to see him. I didn't know it was him. I'm so fucking sorry." His voice cracks, tears streaming down his face. I unwrap my arms from his waist and lightly wipe away the tears.

"It's not your fault." I tell him, running my hands through this hair.

"When I first saw the message, my heart literally stopped. I called Charlie praying that this was all a joke and he told me how Harry had taken you away. I flew back to America and saw him and we tracked the message straight away." He pauses, taking a deep breath.

"I thought I lost you Ellie. I thought I would never see you ever again. I thought I lost my life. You are the smile to my face and the beat to my heart.Everything came rushing back to my mind. All the memories, everything. I was angry at myself. I was angry for letting you go. I was angry that I wasn't there to protect you like I promised. I was angry that I was at the other side of the word while you were here, afraid of what he would do next. I can't ever fucking lose you."

"You won't lose me Dan, I'm here." I reassure him, intertwining our hands together. He softly smiles, wiping the new tears with his sleeves.

"Thank you Miss Simmons. You have helped us catch a wanted person and he will be sentenced to life inprisonment for his actions." The nearby police officer explains, writing on his clipboard.

"It's okay." I reply, feeling Dan squeeze my hands. I face him and warmly smile. The police officer walks away, joining the other men.

"What the fuck Ellie!" I hear Kyle scream, storming over to us.

Oh shit.

"It's not her fault." Dan defendes me, facing a very angry Kyle.

"Shut the fuck up Daniel, tell me everything now." He exclaims causing me flinch.

"Calm down, I'll tell you when we get home. Let me just process everything that has happened." I nervously reply.

I have to tell him otherwise he'll be more angry. He flares his nostrils and storms back out of the door, not saying anything. I can tell he's pissed. Very pissed.

The ride home is really uncomfortable. Dan's driving, I'm in the passenger seat and Kyle's at the back. He hasn't said anything and he probably will not for ages. I close my eyes, suddenly feeling very tired. Not physically tired but, mentally tired. I try to push away the events that happened today from my mind. The more I'll think about it, the more I want to cry.

Finally after three hours, we arrive back home. It's dark outside, the moon glimmering across the night sky. Dan helps me carry the luggage while Kyle rings the doorbell. Katie opens the door and instantly sprints up to me and hugs me tightly. She starts to sob and I do as well.

"I'm so sorry Katie, forgive me." I whimper.

"It's not your fault stupid, but Kyle's really mad, he's not even speaking to me." She whispers before letting me go. Even though we are outside, I could hear Kyle slam his door shut.

"I'm going to see him." I say, looking at Dan. He hesitates before he slowly nods. I walk inside and look around. I thought I would never get to be back at home. I walk upstairs, taking my time. I stand in front of Kyle's room trying to figure out what I should say. I breath deeply before I knock on the door. He opens the door with anger, once he realises me he sits back down on the bed.

"I'm sorry." I whisper, sitting next to him and pulling my arms around his shoulder. He looks at me, his dark chocolate eyes turning soft. He mouths 'tell me' and I nod.

"Before things got worse, Harry was amazing. He was everything I was looking for in a guy. He was perfect, Kyle. Then things changed. He turned bad. The sweet, loving Harry I once knew changed into a monstrous human. He became abusive. He called me bad names. I ended up becoming depressed. I have voices that fill my mind with negativity.Then suddenly he said he has to go away and he will be back to take me with him. That's when you arrived. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry about me." I take a deep breath, closing my eyes and then opening them again. Kyle sits there,listening closely.

"Then Dan came, he knew something was wrong. He helped me, Kyle. He made the voices disappear. With him I knew nothing could ever happen to me. Kyle, without Dan I would have been nothing. So I told him. And please don't be angry at him, I told him not to tell you Kyle. He insisted that he would tell you but, i said no and he listened. Then when you guys were away he came back and took me with him, just like he promised. Then Dan found me and you know the rest."

"Why? Ellie I'm your big brother, I should have helped you. You know I would always be there to support you. So much shit happened and I didn't know." He harshly says.

He gets up and walks out of the door, I follow him. We walk downstairs and in front of Dan, he was sitting on the sofa but, now he's standing up.

Before I could figure out what was going to happen, Kyle slapped Dan across the cheek.

"You stupid idiot, why the fuck didn't you tell me, I thought we were friends! She's my fucking sister, If she was in danger, didn't you think it would be wise to tell me! I trusted you Daniel!" He screams, causing Dan to back away.

"Kyle stop! I told you it wasn't his fault." I try to grab his arms, but he's stronger, he locks his arms around Dan's neck. Dan's eyes widen out of fear.

"Mate fucking stop, you're angry." Woody tries to calm him down. Kyle continues to stare at Dan, there eyes never leaving each other's. Kyle's eyes are venomous while Dan's eyes hold fear.

"Don't you fucking dare speak to me again. Don't even look at me." He whispers, barging past Dan and going upstairs.

"It's all my fault." I say, running outside of the house. I keep running and running, the tears constantly pouring out of my eyes. I keep running until I'm on a bridge.

The same bridge that I've painted before.

So much shit happens whoops

There's more next chapter ;)

Also to make things clear, this takes place in America.
