Ashes [Haylor AU]- Smoke Sequel

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

Taylor's POV

"Harry?" I call downstairs from our shared bedroom.

"Harry!" I say again urgently.

I then proceed to stand up from the chair I am sitting in, almost knocking it over in the process. I steady myself and then smooth my dress out. I can hear my heels click against the hardwood floor while I walk down the stairs. For some reason it's freezing in the house. It had been nice out this morning as far as I could remember. I can feel the goose bumps form as I walk into the kitchen.

"Harry," I call out but there is still no sign of him.

I turn around and almost slip when I hear a large crash. I can feel my whole body tense in alert. I take caution before heading into the family room. I stop cold in my tracks when I notice Jake and Harry. Jake has Harry pinned against the wall. I break out into sobs as he pulls out a gun. I can feel myself fall to the hardwood floor. My knees sting from the impact but the sight infront of me is enough horror to numb the phsyical pain.

"Heather! Call someone!" Harry calls.

"Harry!" I shout loudly.

But he couldn't hear me. No one could. Not even Heather who was soon at his side. And on her finger was a fat rock. I could see the diamond gleaming from across the room. I could feel the darkness set in and my vision was gone. All I could hear was voices. Not from the moment that I had just witnessed, but from all the other moments that I had felt pain. It just never seemed to go away.

I wake up to the sound of Cher's voice. I can feel my whole body shaking. My eyes want to close but going back into my dreams would be the worst thing right now. I start to take deep breaths and eventually I am sitting back in my normal state.

"Again?" I ask her.

"Sorry," She says giving me a look of sympathy.

"No I'm sorry. I can't keep making you wake up in the middle of the night," I tell her.

"It's fine. I'm just your personal assistant. It's my job," She reminds me.

"But your also my bestfriend," I fire back.

"That's also another reason why it doesn't bother me," she remarks.

"Go get some sleep. I'm going down to the hotel lobby to get some coffee," I reply.

"Goodnight," She tells me and then walks back to her room.

I make my way to the elevator and then run into someone. I apologize quickly and he says it's ok.

"Wait..You're Taylor Swift!" He says. His eyes lighting up.

"Yeah. Well it would be rude of me not to ask your name," I reply.

"My name is Cory," He says with a large smile.

"Nice to meet you Cory. How are you?' I ask him.

"Just wonderful. I'm headed to the hottub. Four am cleanses are awesome," He says excitedly.

"I might have to try that while I'm here," I say giving off a small smirk.

"What are you doing up this time of morning?' He asks after a moment as we finally get into the elevator that our chatter has kept us from.

"Nightmare. I'm going to go grab some coffee," I mention.

"Oh really? I was going to stop on my way to the gym. Mind if I join you?" He asks.
