Candice's POV

"Excuse me, I need to go." I said.

"What if I don't l-let you go?"

"You're drunk, let me go."

"So let's get you drunk tooo and then you can stay and we can have some fun."

He grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me so hard that I fell on the floor. I hurt my knees but still managed to get back on my feet.

"Awhh I'm so sorry babyyy. Come."

He grabbed my waist and offered me a drink. I refused it and tried to get out of his hands but his grip was too tight. He held my face with a hand and forced me to drink it. I was struggling so hard and yet he managed to make me drink it, forcefully. And it was horrible and disgusting.

He was keeping the bottle down when I felt his grip loosen up on me and that's when I tried to gather my senses and myself and tried to escape.

He literally pounced upon me and stopped me by my wrist once again. His touch was so harsh and felt so disgusting. I started shouting and crying but due to the loud music, no one could hear me. He picked me up and roughly and literally threw me on the bed.

Harry's POV

It's been quite a lot of time since Rose went. I've tried calling her a couple of times but she didn't pick. Maybe she couldn't hear it ring due to the music but I was starting to worry about her.

I started looking around for her. I even went out to the garden, but I couldn't find her. I asked Louis if he had seen her and he told me the last time he saw her was when we she went to freshen up, which was definitely more than 20 minutes ago.

I decided to go look for her in the guest rooms. I checked two of them but she wasn't there. And the third one was locked from the inside, which she wouldn't do. Where else could she go?!

Suddenly when the song ended, I heard someone shout and cry. The noise was coming from the room that was locked. I don't know if it was Rose or not. I banged the door.

There was no reply.

"Rose, are you in there?"

There was no response, but something told me there was something wrong. I continued banging the door when I heard a muffled scream.

"H-Harry Help!!"

What the hell was going on? I was so out of my senses. I rushed down to call Louis for help.

Candice's POV

I heard Harry from the other side of the door and tried to scream for help but he held my hands down and covered my mouth and my screams with a pillow. I was running out of breath but I still managed to kick him and scream.

"H-harry Help!!!"

The banging on the door stopped and I was so scared..he left. Who's gonna get me out of this hell now?

Please come back Harry. Please come back.

He had pinned me down and was hovering over me when the door burst open.

There he was. The moment I saw him, I was suddenly overwhelmed and my tears were flowing real bad.

Harry's POV

I went down and called Louis for help and we managed to open the door somehow.

There she was. But who was this asshole?

The sight literally enraged me way too much and without any second thoughts I grabbed him by his shirt and punched him hard till he knocked out.

Rose was a crying mess right now and I couldn't bear the sight of it. I rushed to her and took her in my arms and said nothing at all. All of what had happened left me numb and speechless.

What was he even thinking? I don't care if his judgement was clouded due to the intake of alcohol because if he can't handle it, why drink in the first place? And there's no excuse to harrasing a girl, be it alcohol, a clouded judgement or even insanity.

Rose didn't say a word. Her little and fragile body was in my embrace, trembling, shaking and running out of breath. She was starting to lose her conscious. I just picked her up and rushed downstairs. I straight away got out of the house, the atmosphere would suffocate and choke her even more. Niall helped me seat her in the passenger seat and I drove to her place. 

I unlocked the doors to her house, since Liam wasn't home. I took her upstairs, to her bedroom and gently put her down on the bed and went downstairs to get her a glass of water. 

I had just poured the water into the glass when I heard her scream. I rushed to her room.

"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" She was shouting to no one in particular.

I rushed to hug her.

"Ssssh, calm down Rose. It's just me, Harry." I whispered.

"Get him away from me Harry. I hate his hands on me."  She said.

"I won't let anyone touch you. It's just you and me here. I'll keep you safe." I said.

She just curled up in my arms and her heavy breathing was slowly getting back to normal. She looked so worn out and exhausted. I asked her to get up and have some water and she complied.

I suggested she should go and change her clothes so that she can sleep sound. She was reluctant to get up but I still managed to convince her and she did. Even though she had got up, she wasn't in her perfect conscious. Maybe that guy had spiked her drink and it was just the after effect of that.

I don't think it would be the best idea to leave her alone in a state like this when Liam wasn't home either. I texted Gemma that I'd be staying here until she's sober and perfectly fine.

She changed into her pyjamas and stepped out of her washroom. I took her back in there and helped her wash her face since her make up was smeared under her eyes due to all the crying.

Next, I seated her on the edge of the bed and tied her hair. She looked so different. Her eyes were so red and they were stuck on a wall in a deep distant thought, probably in a thought she wasn't able to comprehend.

I helped her get comfy in her bed and gently stroked her hair until she fell asleep.
