Ruby POV
As soon as I enter the dirty abandoned apartment building I take a huge breath in and exhale again 'you can do this Ruby, you can do this' my thoughts consume me. As I walk further down the corridor, no doors yet to be seen nor rooms unless they've been bordered up, which by the looks of things could of happened. Planks of large un-matching colours of wood are half heartily nailed into the paper thin walls; some slanted, some straight I suppose it was just to the creators "creative" choice. I soon come close to a door way. I nervously tip toe over to it, avoiding all the paint tubs and paint brushes, rubble, rocks and dirt which is sprawled across the floor.
I pull the handle gently and the door swings open which reveals a door on the left hand side and a spindle staircase on the left.
I decide to check the room on the ground floor first, the door is already half open so I squeeze through it, knocking it a little which makes a heavy squeak. I freeze in place for a moment listening to the surroundings; when I don't hear anything I carry on. The room is small, trashed: completely trashed. Although a double bed still is pushed up to the corner of the tiny room, the bed springs are broken and the bed as literally snapped it half, I don't even want to think about it so I swiftly move on. A fridge freezer is stood in the middle of the floor, doors hanging widely open, everything defrosted, water spilling out of it with the overpowering smell of something rotting. I dodge the fridge which leads me too another room; the bathroom. I peak my head around the door checking if anything is there which thankfully -for now- there isn't so I make my way out of the room and I find myself now at the bottom of the staircase once more.
I step over half of the wooden stairs with nails hanging out of them whilst I climb closer and closer to the top and as I do I hear hushed voices which get louder as I reach the top. There is multiple doors on either side of the corridor but I follow the noise, the one straight in front of me: the middle one. I tip toe as quietly as possible the noise is getting louder and once I reach the door my thoughts are confirmed. It's Harry, but of course not just Harry but that bitch, "my friend" Ellie. I stand behind the door with my ear against it preparing myself for what I'm about to hear.
"Ellie! Keep your voice down" Harry shouted -in a hushed voice- to the witch.
"Harry will you chill the fuck out, have a cigarette" I can hear the inhale of the cigarette and then the breath back out "this place is abandoned, jesus"
"I don't care, just keep your voice down" He seethed at her
"Aw does little innocent Harry not like to hear what he has done"
"Stop!" He shouted "Just tell me what you brought me here for" He sighs
"Well Harry you see, I've had enough of this secret keeping" What secrets? Me and Harry don't have any secrets, do we? "So I've decided I'm going to tell everyone about that day" she chuckles
"What!? Are you for fucking real, you really are psychotic"
"Don't push me Harry" I here the floor board squeak that bitch better not be moving closer to him.
"You know I done nothing wrong that day! I was helpless Ellie" His voice cracks at the end.
"That's not what the police will think" I know that she has a stupid fucking smirk on her face right now without even looking at her.
What the fuck is going on? Why the hell was Harry helpless, every single time I was been with Harry he is everything but helpless. Protective is the word I would describe Harry as, definitely not 'helpless' it's almost ironic.
"They'll think a poor little innocent was girl trapped in the back of a car while the driver was drunk and high as fuck, which by the way the driver will be you" She laughs hysterically
"You know it wasn't like that, it is completely the other way round. Don't turn this around on me you bitch!" Harry spits "You can't do this too me"
"Oh, I know it wasn't like that. But the police won't know that. You see Harry, they won't know I was the driver, the drunk one, the high one, the one who had a stupid knocked out on Harry Styles on drugs in the back of my car, all tied up and what was the word I described you as? Oh yes, helpless" I can feel the smugness radiating off that bitch.
Why did she have MY Harry tied up, why did she drug him? I feel like barging in there right now but I need to listen for a little longer before I burst.
"I will never forgive you for this, for doing this to me. But more importantly killing my two best friends" He's on the verge of tears, I can tell.
No no no! This is not happening. It's not. I will not believe that Ellie was the car to crash into Jess and Niall. All the pieces are coming together. Harry knew! How could he know for so long and not say anything how was the guilt not eating him up inside, I know for sure it would me.
She just laughs, bitterly. I hate her so much "Why? because I crashed into your little chums? Killing them?"
I'm in tears now streaming down my face, it's confirmed, my fear has just been confirmed. Ellie crashed into Jess and Niall, leaving them for dead whilst Harry was in the back unconscious and tied up, I suppose yes he was helpless.
"Which by the way, just a little reminder, you'll get blamed for" She rubs in his face.
"This isn't fair Ellie, I'll do anything, please"
"Too late now"
"Please, anything" Harry begs
He shouldn't be doing this! He shouldn't have to be doing this. It is not his fault, not at all. Although I can't believe he would keep such a huge secret from me, again. After we said "no more secrets" I guess our promises don't mean anything to him.
"There is one thing" she laughs a little
"What?" He mumbles
"Leave Ruby, leave Alexa. Be with me, we could be happy! So happy! I still love you Harry even after everything you have done to me."
Is she serious? Now she's fucking blackmailing him.
"Wh-at? I can't leave Ruby. I love her" His voice cracked and I could tell he was starting to cry. All I wanted to do was barge in their and make him feel better but for now I had to sit tight.
"Oh well, that's a shame. You'll probably get close to life imprisonment and you won't see them anyways but that's ok" Her heels start clicking on the wooden floor getting closer to me, I look around to see where I could go but I was frozen. I could hear her hand on the door knob before she was interrupted.
"Wait!" Harry shouted
"Hmm?" Ellie murmured
"I'll do it, I'll be with you" He sighed. He's going to leave me for her? I'm stand there heartbroken, my heart shattered into thousands of pieces. Her footsteps got heavier on the floorboards but further away from me, probably running over too Harry, I am furious and before I could stop myself I fling the door open and stormed in.
"Harry don't do this!" I pleaded
