Chapter 9

•Elena•

Harry was desperately trying to get all of mine and his clothes packed, he was currently running around the room throwing clothes into the suitcases. "Harry, stop, calm down." It was no use he wouldn't listen to me. "Finish putting your clothes away I have to go talk to Zayn." He instructed and bolted out of the room. I grabbed a hand full of my undergarments and tossed them into a separate bag, how awkward would it be for Harry to rummage through the suitcase and find all my underwear. I rather not let that happen; because that would be really embarrassing and I don't fancy getting teased about underwear. I went to the closet and grabbed some shirts, throwing those into the suitcase as well, after I had folded them some what neatly.

Suddenly, the door flew open and Harry continued to gather close and throw them in a duffle bag that was on the floor beside the bed. "Zayn left to go to Hayden's so you don't have to stress about that." He told me breathlessly. "Lulu, Rosaline, Tatum, and Ellona are four other girls in our gang and they just came, they're the four that are always going to be with you no matter what, we are going to that house you told me about, that was my back up after you had told me about it, the girls will meet us there." He continued. "Are they staying with us?" I asked but he shook his head. "No, Rosaline managed to convince an old couple to move to a more secured neighborhood, she told them a criminal lived on that street, they moved out- and now they are going to stay there." He rambled.

"So, when ever I want to go out, they have to go with me?" I asked. "Yes but it's only temporary, or until our plans fall through after that you can go out by yourself or with Hayden in piece." Harry stated, I slowly nodded. I don't quite understand this situation but it's worth it if I get my freedom in the end. I mean, I have always had freedom until Harry came into the picture and before I found out that a gang wants to kill me. I have faith in Harry thought, I know he won't let them kill me or at least I hope he won't, because let me tell you I do want to live longer than 19. "Harry?" I whispered and his head snapped up to meet mine. "Yeah?", "How old are you?" I was genuinely curious, he looks about my age if not a bit older. "21, why?" He asked. "I just, I didn't know how old you were and I mean, I was curious." I confessed. He handed me a duffle bag and my little toiletry bag. "Come on, let's go." He extended his hand out to me and I took it. We downstairs, "You must be Elena." A girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, multiple tattoos, an nose and lip piercing, and dark make-up; came up to me. "Ellie." I corrected. "Are you Lulu?" I asked. "Good guess, I am; the girl over there with reddish-purple hair is Rosaline, the one with long brown hair is Ellona, and the one with black hair is Tatum." She said.

"Come on we have to go, Lulu follow behind us." Harry said and dragged me out of the door. He popped the trunk open to his car and stuffed the suitcases in, I handed him the bags I was holding and he set them on top of the suitcases before shutting the trunk. "That car looks very familiar." I spoke to myself, I had seen that car before, it was always on my street. It was black with a strip of red down the middle of the car it also had a little painting of a 'J' on it. That's how I remember it. "You've seen that car before?" Harry asked as we both got in the car. "Yeah, it's always parked on my street, well actually I see it every where I go." I told him. "For how long?" He asked, damn what's his deal. "A few months." I answered and his fists clenched. "That's Johnny's car." He spoke through clenched teeth.

"I thought Johnny only wanted me to get to you." I said. "I thought so to, unfortunately there's more to the story." He spoke looking at me before putting the car in reverse and backed out, driving down the street. "Harry slow down." I said holding onto my seat belt. "Why should I? So he could catch up and kill us? Do you want to die? Do you want me to die?" He asked with humorous chuckle. "Harry, slow the fuck down." I demanded looking at him. "Oh look the kitten swears." He said. Kitten? Is that supposed to be like a pet name? "I thought you wanted to protect me, fast driving will only get me killed, Harry slow down." I said raising my voice bit. The car only went faster, my pleads for him to stop only provoked him to go faster. "Where am I going?' He asked. "I don't know figure it out yourself." I answered him. "God dammit Elena, just tell me where the fuck I'm going." He hissed. "Ask Lulu or Rosaline, or one of them; they know where it is." I replied not looking at him. My breathing was harsh, my heart was beating at an insane speed, I felt like I was going to just fly out of the vehicle. This was all becoming too much for me, the cold air coming from the window was messing up my breathing, the constant thoughts of crashing only made me worry.

I suddenly became dizzy, my eyes began to get heavy and I felt my body weaken. "Elena?" I heard Harry's voice come from beside me, he sounded worried. "Ellie, are you okay?" he asked. I soon felt myself drift off, soon seeing just black. I was out.

I slowly fluttered my eyes open. I quickly shut them do to the bright light in the room. Where am I? I reopened my eyes and got up from the bed. I saw mine and Harry's suitcase on the floor so I grabbed it and tossed it on the bed. I opened it and pulled out one of Harry's black shirts. I took off my shirt and quickly put on his shirt. I grabbed my grey sweats and shimmied out of my jeans before slipping into the sweats. I waked out of the room and down the stairs. "Harry!?" I called out. "Elena?" I could hear him but couldn't see him yet. Before I could process anything I was engulfed into a his arms. "I'm so sorry, I panicked and I didn't listen to you; I was just thinking about Johnny, god I'm so sorry." He apologized. "Harry shut up, I'm fine; but please shut up." I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his hair. "Where are the girls?" I asked. "At the other house, the others led Johnny the opposite way; we had Lennon dress like you and wear a wig so he'd get confused; our plan worked and he followed them thinking that I would let you go with them and meet you soon." He explained. "So you bought us time, to get another plan ready?" I asked. "Yes, Zayn called and said Hayden was fine." He answered.

"Is everything going to be okay?" I asked while burying my face in his chest. "I wish I could say yes but truth is Kitten, I have no clue." He whispered wrapping arms tighter around my body. Just then we heard a faint ringtone from the room I once occupied minutes ago. I untangled myself from Harry and walked towards the room. I grabbed my phone and answered it without looking at the caller ID. "Why am I being babysat by some guy named Zayn, that looks like a murderer?" She asked. "Hayden, I'm not sure I'm able to explain the situation to you, ask Zayn, it's not place to give out that sort of information." I replied. Fine, but we are going shopping tomorrow." She said and I groaned. "I hate shopping." I said. "I know it's payback for getting me a babysitter and then telling me I can know why." She said and I sighed. "Fine, but these four girls have to go with us; it's my protection besides Harry." I told her. "Harry, that saved you from party; Harry?" She asked. "Yeah." I spoke hesitantly, she gasped. "Oh my god, tell me everything tomorrow; I got to go Zayn is wants me downstairs for some shit, bye." She said. "Bye." I hung up and turned to face Harry. "So why has Johnny been stalking me for months?" I asked.

"There is only one way to find out." He said. "That is?" He sighed looking down then looking back at me.

"We test him."
