Promise

Eleven

I pushed my way through the crowd, I felt everyone's eyes on me. Girls were shooting me death glares, and boys were looking at me as if they were hungry animals. I was scared, but felt a little better that Harry had people watching me supposedly. I knew if people were watching me, then they would never let me talk to someone probably fearing that I was trying to escape. I jogged down the stairs to get the bathroom. I tried to hold it for as long as I could but I really had to go. I turned the corner and walked down the dimly lit hallway. 

After I flushed the toilet, I walked out of the stall to wash my hands. I wasn't the only girl in there, the others were starring at me. I tried to keep my line of sight towards the ground. They started talking about me, I could hear them. They spat out rude names like whore, and slut. But that's not true, I have never done anything sexual in my life. I haven't even had my first kiss. My parents refused to let me date. They were too protective. I tried to ignore their harsh words but it hurt. They didn't even know me. I walked out of the doors, just wanting to leave this nasty place. I paused for a moment, looking at the doors towards the exit. I wonder if someone is watching me right now... Maybe I could just sneak out...

I felt someone grip my arm and turn me around. It was some drunk man. He looked dirty. 

"Hey sexy thing, come with me." He started pulling me to the back of the hallway. I tried to pull my arm away, I tried to tell him that I was here with someone else but he ignored me. He pushed me up against a wall and started groping me. I let out a scream before his hand slapped my mouth shut. I saw the girls from the bathroom walk out. I yelled for help, but they just laughed and pointed at me before leaving me. I felt him start kissing my neck, and getting more aggressive with his touching. I started to yell for Harry, and for anyone really. I felt the tears running down my face, as I let out screams muffled by his hand...

"Rosalee! Rosalee, wake up!" Harry yelled while shaking me. I opened my eyes, it was a nightmare. 

"Are you okay?" Harry asked me, while wiping my tears away. 

"I-I had a nightmare, it was from what happened to me at that place.." I cried. He looked at me sadly. He brought his hands up to my face and wiped my tears. 

"What did I do to deserve this?" I hiccuped. 

"Nothing Rosalee, you have never done anything to deserve this. I'm so sorry." Harry said while pulling me close to him. He wrapped his arms around me, and held me tightly. He held me like that until I had calmed down. I looked outside to see that it was the next morning, I don't remember coming back last night. I must've fallen asleep, and Harry just put me on the couch I guess. 

"The guys are coming over today, we were supposed to go to the warehouse, but I just don't know what to do with you when I can't be here. I know I haven't ever introduced you to them, so I will today. But I'll probably be in my office for most of the day. Are you going to be okay?" He asked me, and I nodded. I just noticed that I was sitting in his lap. I quickly moved myself off of him, earning a chuckle from Harry. 

Harry soon left me to go do other things, but I haven't left the couch since I have woken up. He had turned the TV on for me before he left. I was watching a show called Full House, I think. I wasn't really sure, I have never seen it before. I was now laying down on the couch covered in a blanket. 

The doorbell rang but I didn't bother to move. I know Harry wouldn't like me trying to get it, he would think that I was trying to get away. But honestly what's the point anymore? Every time I try to leave, bad things always happen to me. I feel bad for giving up so easily, but I can't keep hurting myself like this. I still don't even know why I am here, Harry said I haven't done anything wrong. Maybe he'll let me go eventually. 

Harry came emerging from his office to get the door. He opened it and said a few words to the men standing there. They all walked over to me awkwardly looking down at me, and then over to Harry. 

"Rosalee, this is Niall, Liam, Louis, Zayn, and then you know Alex, and uh Leo." He said. They all awkwardly smiled or greeted me, except for Alex and Leo. Alex just glared at me of course, and Leo sent me a genuine smile. Probably feeling guilty for our last encounter. 

"We'll be in the office." Harry said before they all followed him into the office that I was forbidden to enter. It's funny actually, I was given so many chores to do, but I have never done any of them. It's especially weird to me because at my house my parents always made me do chores, that was my duty in their eyes. Since I was only a woman, it was my job to do housework. It's ridiculous to think that I actually tried to agree with their views. That's probably why they aren't looking for me. I'm only a woman to them, and it means nothing in their eyes. 

I turned off the TV, too bored to continue that show. I walked upstairs, and entered Harry's room. I looked around for something interesting, but there was nothing. I walked to his table next to his bed and opened the drawer. A gun, and condoms. I closed that drawer pretty quickly to say the least. 

I headed downstairs into the kitchen next. I walked over to the door that I escaped out of to see many new locks on it. It's like a prison in here, no one can get in or out. I walked over to a window in the living room. I sat on he floor and looked out of it. I just watched as time slowly moved. It was still summer, but I'm rarely allowed to even step foot outside. I missed fresh air. I just wished I could go out there and lay in the grass. 

My mind flickered over to the girl at the club last night. I think she was with Louis. I wonder if she was kidnapped. Maybe she could help me...

~~

It was now 9 p.m. and the guys were still in the office. I was laying on my back on the couch, starring at the ceiling. I was so bored. 

I heard a small knock come from the door. I waited for Harry to come and get it. But then there was another knock, this one a little louder. I sat up and saw someone standing in the window. he was dressed in all black. He brought his hand up and slowly waved at me. 

"Harry!" I screamed as I jumped off of the couch and ran to his door. I began to bang my fists on the door as hard as I could. I kept looking back to see if the guy was still there but he wasn't. The door swung open to reveal and angry looking Harry. I knew if I didn't speak up fast he was going to be mad. 

"Harry there was this knock at the door, I was just laying on the couch. I-I I didn't get up, I thought you were coming but you didn't and then there was another knock, but louder, and, and I sat up. There was this man, he was dressed in all black, he, he waved at me. He is gone but I swear Harry I'm not lying..." I stammered out as fast as I could. I felt small tears run down my face. I'm such a cry baby, I can't help it. Harry furrowed his eyebrows while making his way to the front door. He quickly opened it up and looked around. He then bent down and picked up a white envelope. He tore it open, and held a deep frown while reading it. He then turned his head to look at me. He handed the envelope to Louis, before walking over to me. 

"It's late, go up to bed. I'll be down here really late tonight. I'll check up on you later. You're okay." He placed his hand on my shoulder, signalling me to go. 

"Was it my family?" I asked Harry. He titled his head at me and sighed. 

"No Rosalee. Go to bed." I lowered my head, and walked upstairs. I was expecting that answer. I don't know what to believe.

I tucked myself in, and wondered who that man was. What did he leave, and what did it say? I wish Harry would tell me. I am stuck in a situation, and have no idea why.
