Stepdad Styles

Chapter 12

--Hazel--

I can't say what hurt more, the back if my head slamming against the floor or as Harry lifted my unresponsive body his grip tightened on my arm. So much pain radiates through my body, starting from my head and arm does it work it's way down to my toes.

"Niall!" Harry screams, his voice cracking from the intensity. "My f*ucking god, Emily. Look what the hell you've done!" I try not to focus on how worried Harry sounds right now, the more I panic the more faint I feel, I need to stay conscious. I want to make it out of this house in a somewhat stable state, enough to see my daughter is taken care of.

"Haze.. Can you hear me? Please, oh God, open your eyes. PLEASE!"

Why is he talking to me like that? I'm awake, I can clearly see him looking down at me in his arms. Something cold and wet hits my cheek, a tear droplet, I can feel the icy coldness from it seep into my skin.

"I can't lose you Haze, I won't." He coughs, sniffling. "You have to wake up, I know you can hear me. I know you ca-"

And that's all I remember, before it all went black.

--Harry--

The eardrum shattering gunshot rang over and over again. I couldn't get the sound out of my head, it was something I knew I was going to remember for the rest of my life.

"Niall!" I panic, screaming out in fear.

He collapses right ontop of Ryan, the both of them losing the battle and motionless. "My f*ucking god, Emily. Look what the hell you've done!" I shout at the woman holding the in complete shock.

A heavy thud sounds from right beside me, Hazel has fallen over and now laid on the ground, I'm quick to scoop her up and fan her face with my hand.

"Haze.. Can you hear me? Please, oh God, open your eyes. PLEASE!"

Tears well up, I can't help it, I don't know who to help right now. One of my best friends in the entire world or the girl I'm madly inlove with.

"I can't lose you Haze, I won't." He cough, sniffling. "You have to wake up, I know you can hear me. I know you can hear me. Just, open your damn eyes, please! Our daughter, she needs you, the guys need you. Babe, I need you.. "

"Touching. So touching, Styles." Ryan claps his hands together sloppily, he's now holding the gun Emily had and is pointing at me.

Niall and Emily are where Ryan should have remained, only she's aiding him to sit up. I can't seem to say anything, what is there to say with a gun pointed at you?

"Any last words?" He snickered.

"Yeah, actually..." I say hesitantly.

"And what's that?" He scoffs, clicking back the safety and pressing his finger lightly on the trigger.

"Oink, Oink." I smile, his confused eyes look around the room.

"What the he-"

"DROP YOUR WEAPON! LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, HANDS IN THE AIR!"

Ryan does as he's commanded, the gun fumbles around before landing still, his boney little fingers shaking in the air.

The cop takes hold of his hands and locks them behind his back, he's patted down by another cop as the other handcuffs him.

"Medical crew will be in shortly." One says before recognizing who I am, his eyes widening.

"Hurry, she's been out for 10 minutes." I inform him.

--Kendall (Eeep)--

"You can be the ugly Goblin, and I can be the Queen, you have to sleep in the woods though, goblins aren't allowed in the castle." Lux explains, she skips over to a pink bench and picks up a shiny plastic crown.

"Not all goblins are ugly. Why can't I be the queen? I'm older."

"Because, my daddy said that-"

"Harry is not your father." I correct her.

"He is too!"

"Is not"

"Is too! My mummy said so." She crosses her arms over her tiny waist and looks up at the ceiling with an obnoxious huff.

"Your mommy is a liar." Which is mostly true, how would she know who the father is?

Lux's mouth falls open and she stares at me. I may have taken that a little too far, can't turn back now. How to fix this..

"Okay, I'll be the ugly goblin. But I'm not sleeping in the forest."

She seems to have bought my little mind changer as her eyes glared at me.

"You have to!" She stomps her foot, for a child she sure has a temper, kind of like Harry.

"I don't know, I mean-" my thoughts run dry as a loud gun shut sounds throughout the room. What if it hit Harry?

"What was that?" Lux asks me, looking worried. "I'm scared, that was loud."

"I.. I don't know." I bite my finger for a moment before deciding what to do. Before I know it I'm pulling out my phone from my pocket and dialing 911.

--Niall--

"I can't believe you missed shooting Ryan's dick off." I teased Emily. The cops were arresting Ryan at the moment so we had a couple minutes to talk quietly.

"I can't believe you fell ontop of him, I really thought I shot ya!" She giggles.

"Just grazed my thigh, I can't believe the amount of pain that comes with a grazing, it felt like it actually hit me." I couldn't help but laugh at my weakness.

"I'm really sorry about that, I've never held a gun before and I don't remember much."

"You were pretty stoked. Hot wired or something." I said, once again teasing her.

"I was angry, so so many years I held back that anger, i finally feel free." She smiled, letting out a shakey breath.

"Free enough to go out to dinner with me?" Time to work my magic.

"Are you serious?" She gasp. Oh no. "I pulled the trigger on you and you're asking me out?" Maybe I still have a shot.

Haha, shot.

"You missed. No harm done." Her eyes sparkle as a camera flashes off, a crime scene investigator is taking pictures I guess.

"Alright. Dinner it is."

--Hazel--

Spinning.

I'm spinning and falling.

Spinning so fast but falling so slow.

The room is pure white, was this even a room? A dark shadow figure crosses the gap between it and I and stands before me. The words are muffled and in such a low octave I'm unable to process it.

"What's going on?!" I shout.

"She's going into shock! Get the paddles and defibrillator, set to 70%!" Finally I can hear something.

F*cking shit, this cannot be happening. This is bad.

"90%!"

Why am I not feeling anything?

I need to fight, I will not die like this.

I will see my daughter again, there's no way in hell I'll let Kendall raise my daughter with Harry. No way.
