Chapter 22

Not Edited.

Levi

Sometimes we don't know how we know what we are suppose to do, we just know.

I watched as Elena's chest would rise and fall, she was still unconscious. No one would tell me what had happened at the school. Who was there or who hurt her. I don't even know who it was that attacked her. They said something about Johnny and this girl Rose. It sounds familiar but I don't know what is real these days.

I got up from the chair beside her bed and began pacing around the room. The door creaked open and Harry walked in. He sighed I could tell he was frustrated.

"What's the deal with you suddenly having an interest in Elena?" He spoke a hint of annoyance clear in his tone.

"I like her, Harry." I whispered and looked at Elena's weak figure. He scoffed.

"You don't know her Levi, you know nothing of her past and you certainly know nothing about her now." He spat. I rolled my eyes.

"You do Harry?" I said not taking my eyes off of Elena. "Yes, she told me." He said and I felt this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Hearing how much Harry knows about Elena makes me feel almost jealous of him. I want yo know Elena like that, I want to hold Elena like he has, and I want to be able to feel Elena like he got to.

I want to cherish her. "What are you staring at?" He asked from beside me. "Her." I whispered. "Did they say she was going to be okay?" I asked, he sighed. He didn't want to tell me but, he was going to. "They don't know, they said that it would be somewhat of a miracle if she woke up." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Somewhat?" He nodded. "They said that if she didn't wake up then that would be expected but, if she did people would be a bit surprised." He explained. "Do you like her?" I whispered.

"I don't know, she confuses me, she always gives me mixed signals." He answered. "We were going to hang out but she postponed." I said in a hushed tone. Somehow I thought if I would speak quietly then maybe, just maybe she would feel at peace and want to wake up. Call me stupid but that's what I believe.  "How much time do we have till they attack again?" I asked quietly. "I don't know, Louis and Liam are trying to figure out how to hack into their systems to see what they have in store for us." He replied.

I sat back down and leaned forward, my elbows in my knees. I clasped my hands together. "What happened?" Harry didn't move he just stood there and stared at her limp body. "They are keeping close eye on Elena, Brooklyn and Brianna beat her. I got there too late and they stabbed her, they cut her. I-I should have known that they would, that they would hurt her like that. I thought maybe if, maybe if I just stayed a bit distant from her they would stop but, they didn't. She is in here because of me, BECAUSE I, because I was fucking stupid." He said whispering the last part. I stopped him.

   I didn't know what to say, he looked weak and broken. Yet, he still looked strong and brave. He cares for Elena, more than he will ever admit. "It isn't your fault Harry, we all could have done something to stop this." I tried to reassure. "It is, it is Levi." His voice cracked. "I, I think you need to rest Harry, Elena should be up by the time you have awoken from your nap." I whispered and he nodded before giving Elena a kiss to the forehead and he left the room.

  I got up again and left the room. I walked downstairs and sat with he rest of the group in the front room. "Where's Harry?" Lily asked. "He went to bed." I said and she nodded.

The door opened and Lulu walked in. "Where the hell have you been!?" Drew yelled. "I was at the school, I tried to catch up to Rose and Johnny to execute them but," She heavily sighed. "They got away too quickly." She answered. "Bullshit." Irene hissed. "What the hell do you know?" Lulu said.

  "Stop." Lily said sternly. "Dejemos que no necesitamos esta, we are a family." She nearly yelled. Everybody just sat or stood still. "We need to get ourselves together, we have no idea what they have planned and what they will do next. For Elena, for Harry and for ourselves we need to stop acting childish and start working together like a damn team." She said and walked out of the room.

  I think it was safe to say that what had happened had an impact on all of us. None of us knew how bad everything affected Elena or even Harry. Hayden was practically in shock, Zayn was a bit pale and Lily, she seemed a bit pissed off. They had said that Harry shot Bri for no reason, and he nearly got Lily and himself killed. He didn't think he just went for it. Dean will come onto Harry for injuring Bri, we don't how serious it was. Johnny will want payback and Rose, she was Harry's ex-girlfriend, which I just found out.

We need to discuss what happened. If we didn't then we won't know what to do. 

I sighed and walked into the kitchen. Luke and Ashton were sat at the kitchen table. Guns and Amo scattered all over the table. "What's going in?" I asked. "With Harry all over the place, Elena injured and Lily going off on everyone we need to take this into our own hands. Ashton and I will lead you guys, it's better that way. Drew and Damon are loading the trucks with supplies, Irene and Lennon are going to create a distraction. We need you too Levi. Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn they are helping too along with Reece and Leila. Mason, Justin, Axel and Nick are keeping watch out. Olivia is taking care of Ayden until she is instructed to do anything further. Are you going to help Levi?" Luke said. I hesitated but nonetheless I nodded.

"We need to settle this and if this is the way, then what choice do I have? I will help but, I will not be a puppet and do as you say all the time." I said and Ashton nodded. "Fair enough, let's go." I followed them outside and got inside they truck with them.

"Do either Harry or Lily know about this?" I asked. They shook their heads.

Luke spoke, "Like I said it's better this way."
