*Harry's POV*

"Can I see it again?" asks Katy, looking down to the Pandora bag that is resting on my lap. We are currently on the bus journey home.

"sure." I say, smiling at her and open the small box that the bracelet Is in. I got her a plain metal bracelet and a small charm of a love heart. It was different to Katy's heart from Tom so she said it was okay. I watch as Katy admires it and just hope that Lucy will feel the same.

*Tom's POV*

"I really cant believe him. I mean he's just so lovely. Something must have wound him up." Says dad, fussing over Harrison for the 100th time.

"really, Mr Holland, I'm fine. You really didn't have to come home from your gig." Says Harrison, smiling and taking the icepack away from his head.

"It's nothing, I just want to makesure that you are okay. Also, I have some amazing news for Tom..." he says, glancing to me and smiling. At that moment, Lucy and Paddy walk in. Paddy is on Lucy's back and both of their cheeks are bright red.

"we've...been...running." Pants Lucy, going to the sofa, putting down Paddy and falling down next to him. "we saw Tony; so we ran." She says, frowning.

Wait, what? She saw Tony?

"How are you?" she asks, turning towards Harrison.

"I'm fine. Thankyou." He replies, smiling at her.

"wait. You saw Tony?" I ask, frowning

"well he does live in London, Tom. That's not far. It's not like we wont see him around." Says dad.

"for fucks sake dad, he's been arrested. You watched him get arrested. He shouldn't be out of prison. How could you forget?"I shout.

"calm down. We can sort this out. I must just be stressed, maybe that's why I forgot." He replies, standing up from the sofa. "I'm going to ring the police; tell them where he is. Nobody worry. Just ring Harry and Katy and tell them to come straight home. Also, where are Sam and Mai?" he asks me.

"they are upstairs... I wouldn't interrupt them. Just incase." I say, laughing slightly. Dad nods and pulls a funny face.

*Katy's POV*

"Who was that?" I ask Harry as he tucks his phone into his pocket.

"Lucy... She said Tony has escaped from prison and her and Paddy just saw him so we should go straight home." He says, looking around cautiously.

Tony. He's after me. He's going to... he's going to do things to me again.

I stop still in my tracks.

"katy come on. We need to get home."

All I can find my self doing is shaking my head.

"Katy. I know you're scared. I'm scared too. But we need to move. We have to." He says, grabbing my hand and forcing me to move forwards.

As I walk, I cry. Tears fall down my cheeks and I cant stop them. All I can do is walk. I hear the door shut behind me and I feel my back hit the back of the sofa.

I shut my eyes and listen.

Their voices are muffled and all I can imagine is his face. Tony's face. The violence in his eyes. The hatred in his voice.

Aside from Tony's screams, Only one voice is clear in my head but I still cant hold on to it. I cant pull myself back from the nightmares; even though I know I'm awake.

Someone takes my shoulders and shakes them; I scream and hit them away, cradling my head. When I lift my head, I open my eyes and see Tom knelt infront of me. His face is tearstained afew fresh tears are rolling down his cheeks.

I stare at him for a while. He lifts his hand up and reaches it onto my neck so his thumb is hooked behind my ear and his hand on my cheek. He smiles sadly at me and another tear falls from his eye.

I swallow a few times, trying to get my words out.

When I do speak, I sound weak. "don't cry." I say.

He just laughs, reaches forwards and hugs me. "I'm aloud to cry." He whispers, holding his hand on the back of my head and pulling my face into his chest.

I don't say anything, just relax into his body. His too familiar body.

"I hate seeing you like this. I want my normal Katy back." He says, running his fingers through my hair.

"me too." I murmur.

"you'll get better." He soothes into my ear.

She's not afraid.Where stories live. Discover now
