Something Great (Narry)

Chapter 13

I couldn't force myself to go to work after what happened with me and Niall so I had called in sick. The day after I came to the conclusion that I could manage dragging myself out of bed to go into work. I caught my reflection in the glass doors of the diner before I pulled them open. Dark circles had already formed under my eyes. My complexion was pale and the lack of effort put into my appearance was very evident. I tugged the door open and braced myself when I spotted someone leaving the diner. That someone was Niall. His eyes pierced my chest as he brushed past me cooly. I tried to shake it off as I slumped back to the kitchen.

"Why was Niall here?" was the first thing I blurted out to Louis. Not a hello. Not a how are you since your boyfriend cheated on you.

"Niall was here?" Louis cocked his head, "I wouldn't know he hasn't really talked to me since yesterday," he shrugged.

"I'm so stupid," I gritted my teeth, "it's not even your fault and now he won't talk to you."

"It is my fault Harry. It's both of ours. Seriously, don't beat yourself up about it," Louis' voice trailed off as Liam began to walk in our direction.

"Good to see you're feeling better Harry," he nodded cheerfully.

"Yeah," I said quietly, hoping he would stop the conversation here.

"So, how'd the date go with Niall?" Liam wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Uh, it didn't work out," I mumbled.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said to console me.

The tension was too much for me to bear. I was expecting Liam to leave after talking to me but he didn't. The three of us stood in silence.

"I-I need to go talk to Ed," I excused myself. I felt bad for leaving Louis with Liam but I figured he'd leave him alone at some point.

As I exited the kitchen I figured I might as well apologize to Ed just to be careful I didn't put my job in jeopardy.

"Hey Ed," I began slowly, "look, I'm really sorry about what I said earlier. I had no right to bring up your personal life and I'm sure Zayn is a nice guy."

"Thanks Harry but we broke up," Ed said nonchalantly.

"What why?" I asked, trying to hide the fact I really was pleased with the whole thing.

"I know he was dating us at the same time. You should've told me, you didn't need to spare my feelings," he assured me, "I broke up with him as soon as I found out and he took it rather well. He just said he's going to the club-" his words began to fade out of my mind.

"Wait how do you-" it all started to come together. Niall leaving the diner. Niall told Ed.

"Oh shit," I breathed out.

"Sorry?" Ed leaned in closer to hear me.

My chest began to tighten and I slowly backed away from Ed. I headed to the kitchen, my pace growing quicker.

"Louis!" I shouted, "is Niall playing at the club tonight?"

"Yeah he started about 10 minutes ago, why?" Louis asked, looking at me with concern.

Breathing became more difficult for me and I tried to spit out any words but they weren't coming out. I stood there paralyzed except for the trembling in my lip.

"Harry why?" Louis spoke up, beginning to get more worried.

"We need to go," I finally got out, "NOW!"

"Why?" Louis wouldn't stop asking me questions. My chest heaved up and down quickly, the possibilities flashing trough my mind.

"He's not safe! LOUIS WE HAVE TO GO!" I wailed.

"Harry you're not making sense," Louis began to feel my face as if he thought I was ill.

"I'M NOT SICK YOU IDIOT WE NEED TO GO. RIGHT NOW!" I screamed.

Louis stepped back at the raise in my voice but still looked puzzled.

I tried to calm myself down and have coherent words come out of my mouth. "He told Ed that Zayn cheated on him and Ed broke up with Zayn and now he's not safe and we need to go to the club to get him! And if you ask one more question-"

"Why would he-"

"BECAUSE ZAYN TRIED TO KILL ME OKAY? I TRIED TO BREAK UP WITH HIM AND HE PULLED A KNIFE OUT AT ME AND TOLD ME HE'D KILL ME AND WHOEVER BROKE US UP SO NOW WE NEED TO GO GET NIALL!" angry tears began to roll down my cheeks.

"Fuck," Louis whispered, "FUCK! Let's go!" he tore off his apron and we dashed towards the kitchen door.

"Where are you going?" a voice stopped us.

"Liam did you not hear any of that?" Louis snapped.

"I did and I don't think you should go. Without me."

"Liam why the fuck would you come-"

"Can we just go?" I yelled frantically, getting impatient.

We rushed out the door without Ed taking any notice. As we sped down the road it felt like we were hardly moving.

"Can you drive faster?" I complained.

"Harry I'm already speeding I don't want to get us killed," Louis said calmly.

I winced at the word "killed". I closed my eyes and hopelessly wished we would get to Niall in time.

As we pulled into the alley I recognized Niall's car. My eyes went from the car over to two figures by the wall. I instantly recognized one as Niall. He was the one clutching his side and falling to his knees.

"Niall!" I shrieked.

Everything after that felt like it was moving in slow motion.

The other dark figure running away.

Me running to Niall's side.

Me feeling his warm, sticky blood on my hand.

Me screaming at Louis and Liam to call an ambulance.

The ambulance taking him away from me.
