Untouched Memories (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 9: Danger Safety

Chapter 9

Harry's POV

 I knock on the door to the room lightly and wait for a response, I listen for a voice but I hear nothing. I knock again louder this time and wait again for a response.

"Who is it?" a small female voice sounds from the other side of the door.

"It's Harry" wait she might not know who just Harry is! "Oh, Harry Styles"

"What do you want?" the sniffling voice is getting smaller and harder to hear.

"I heard you crying, I just wanted to see if you were ok" I turn the handle of the door and push it slowly.

 "No don't come in I'm fine" the voice becomes recognisable.

 "Charlie?" I ask pushing the door open further.

 "No Harry, please don't come in please" her voice is shaky.

 I push the door open fully and peek around the side. The room is trashed, there's broken glass, contents of drawers pulled out, ripped clothes lying on the floor and the giant mirror is broken. Then I spot a red substance all over the mirror and the broken glass.

 It's blood.

Charlie's bleeding, but why? What happened?

"Charlie where are you? What happened in here?" I'm really worried now, I waited for an answer but it never came.

"Charlie are you ok? Are you hurt?" I wait again for an answer but all I hear are small sobs coming from behind the changing screen.

"Harry please leave I'm fine" Her voice is slurred and cracked but still crying.

"Charlie by the state of this room and your voice I can tell you are very far from fine" I start to walk towards the screen. My heart is beating faster as I wind myself up into a panic.

"No Harry I don't want you to see me like this" Her voice is getting panicked too.

 "I'm just checking to see if you're ok" I pull the screen back and gasp at the sight.

Charlie is lying on the ground, curled up in a ball crying, her head is bleeding and there are bruises forming on her skin. God, my beautiful Charlie is looking fragile and broken. Someone has just left her here on the floor.

I could see blood drying in her dark hair and a large handprint shaped bruise on her arm. My eyes are averted to a large gash in her forehead. It was still bleeding at a dangerous rate.  I quickly bend down by her side and look for anything I can to help her.

"Oh my God Charlie, what happened to you?" her eyes look up to mine for a second but drop again.

"Who did this to you" I ask already knowing the answer.

"M-matt" Her voice slurs and I realised how much blood she is losing.

"Charlie I'm calling an ambulance" I dial 999 and an elderly voiced lady answers the phone.

"Hello emergency services, what's your emergency?" she asks.

"Ahh, hello there's a young women here and she's been beaten and she's bleeding a lot from the back of her head" I stutter into the phone.

"What's your location sir?"

"We are staying at the Royal Harbour hotel in Kent"

"Ok we will have an ambulance with you in 10 minutes in the meantime try and keep her awake don't let her fall asleep"

"Ok I'll try" I hang up the phone and turn my attention back to Charlie. She is shivering and moaning on the ground.

"Charlie I need you to hold on help is coming" I find a shirt on the ground and press it to her head, she flinches away from my touch.

"This will help stop the bleeding"

"Harry......" Her voice is so quiet it's a whisper.

"Yes, yes I'm here Charlie" Tears are welling in her eyes.

"Harry, I'm sorry" she whispers as tears spill over her cheeks.

"No don't be sorry it's ok it's all going to be ok" tears start to from in my eyes.

"I thought you didn't like me" Her voice was so weak.

 "Charlie I really liked you, I still like you" a small smile forms on her lips. "And I won't let anyone hurt you ever again" my voice became shaky.

"Harry I'm sorry" her eyes were slowly shutting.

 "No Charlie I need you to keep awake open your eyes please" her eye lids kept falling over her eyes.

"Harry don't leave me" Her eyes shut. Her body starts to relax. She can't go like this. She has to stay awake. I hold the shirt firmer on her gash in an attempt to stop the bleeding entirely. If she won't stay awake, I have to stop the bleeding.

"I will never leave you but please stay awake, please, please stay awake" I start to cry, I keep one hand on her head and the other strokes her face as she loses consciousness. I wipe away the tears that are drying on her face.

"Charlie stay awake please" her eye lids flutter but don't open. I start praying that she will open her eyes. Just please open them for me.

Just then the paramedics are calling outside and I yell to them where we are. They rush in and immediately start to help Charlie.

"When did she lose consciousness?" one of them asks me.

"About a minute ago, I tried to keep her awake but she just couldn't" I start to cry.

"It's ok, you have helped her a lot by applying pressure to this wound" she tries to comfort me but it doesn't work.

"Can I ask how this happened" she looks at me nervously.

"A man she was seeing beat her, I tried to ask her what happened but she couldn't tell me" I hold onto Charlie's hand as they place a tube down her throat.

 "We need to get her to a hospital" they say while placing her onto a stretcher and move her towards the door.

"Can I come with her" I start to walk with them.

"Are you family?" the man looks at me.

"No, but she asked me to stay with her and I'm not leaving her" I stare at him.

"Alright sir, you can come" they say as they wheel her out of the room and push her towards the exit and out the door onto the street. I watch as they load the broken Charlie onto the ambulance.

I climb in the back and sit next to her and hold her hand. It has cuts and bruises on it. I gently bring it up to my mouth and place a soft kiss to the back of it. Then I lean towards her face which also has cuts and bruises on it and place a small kiss on her cheek and whisper in her ear.

"I will never leave you Charlie, you're safe now"
