Chapter 18

Natalie's Pov

Do you ever get a feeling that you're being watched? If you have then you know exactly how uncomfortable it is. Uncomfortable. That's the word I'm looking for, I have the feeling I'm being watched. I know I'm probably paranoid, but still I feel very uncomfortable. I feel as if I make one wrong move something bad will happen. I try not to think about it too much, but everywhere I go I feel as though I have a stalker.

I'm in my second class of the day, and Harry stuck by his word and has walked me to both. He hasn't said much at all. He constantly ask if I'm feeling okay, and my answer remains the same 'yep.' When my second class lets out, I go outside to where Harry is standing. He's leaning against a hand rail, and my God perfection has never looked better. His hair has the same messy look as always, he's wearing Ray Bands, he has his bottom lip in between his teeth which is a major turn on, he has his phone in his hand, and he's looking down at it. He's wearing a white short sleeve shirt with a red and black plaid shirt over it unbuttoned, black jeans with grey vans.

I can't seem to stop staring, and he obviously feels my presence when he turns around. His world famous smirk comes across his face. He puts his phone up, and starts walking over towards me. I can't move, and I highly doubt I'm breathing. He's caught me staring at him more then three times now, embarrassment is exactly what I'm feeling at the moment. He reaches me and puts his arms around my waist pulling me into him. I'm still frozen, to other people I'm sure this look like we're in a relationship, and I probably look like some bitch who won't hug her boyfriend back.

"Natalie, Natalie, Natalie. You've really got to start working on your staring skills. You need to be more secretive, it's not a secret when your drooling over me."

I scoffed, and rolled my eyes. I stood proud and tall and whispered very lowly in his ear;

"Drooling would be the last thing I would do over you."

Lie.

Now it was his turn to whisper in my ear. He still held that cheeky ass smirk as he was whispering;

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really."

Another lie.

He stood all the way up watching me and chuckling.

"So what do you call what you were doing back there?"

I huffed out in pure annoyance.

"Observing. Now let's go before I miss my third class."

"Mhm okay love."

We started walking to the 'Arts' building for my Literature class. Harry and I held small talk, but there was one thing I couldn't seem to get off my mind.

"Harry."

I whispered his name really lowly while staring at the ground, I don't want to attract attention.

"Why are you whispering?"

Harry caught on and whispered back.

"Don't look around, but do you feel like we're being watched?"

"I didn't want to mention it, but I have felt that way ever since we left the dorms."

"Harry I'm scared."

Harry pulled me into his side and wrapped his arm around the side of my waist. I felt some peace and safety over his gesture, but it still doesn't change the fact we're being watched.

"Natalie as long as you're with me, I can promise you that I will keep you safe."

"What do we do?"

"You could skip your third class. If it's just a minor it won't really matter."

Yeah it wouldn't matter if I didn't help with manuscripts, but the others can handle it.

"Okay. Let's go."

~<>~

I walk into my dorm room with Harry following, and El is sitting at our desk working.

"El? What are you doing here, you have classes?"

El looked up at me, rubbed at her eyes, leaned back in her chair and sighed.

"Mr.Newman let me stay out the rest of the week, so I can finish up the plan for you. I have been finding places for you two to stay, picking a state, getting rental cars, and getting all of that sorted."

"Okay. Well where will we be staying?"

I'm honestly holding up pretty well right now, mainly because I have this family reunion this weekend and I have to look okay and happy. I will start worrying when the time comes, and the time is not here yet.

"Well the first place you're going is Chicago, Illinois."

"What do you mean first place?"

I've been to Chicago before, and I loved it. I can see why she would pick Chicago, because more then likely 'He' would be expecting somewhere closer to New York.

"I mean you have to switch places two times. You will stay in Chicago for a week, and then leave and stay at the other place for however long it takes."

"For however long until what takes El?"

"Until I can find out why the hell he's out of prison when 'He's' suppose to have a life sentence, and how I'm going to get him to stay away from you."

"El how in the fuck are you going to do this on your own?"

"I'm not."

"Then who's helping?"

El looked over at Harry, as if she was waiting for him to pipe in. I don't want to be in the dark about this any longer, so unless someone starts giving me some explanations and answers I'm going to snap.

"Zayn and a couple of other guys we know are helping. You see they can hack into things, and one of their dads is with the police force so he can get in touch with Pennsylvania's police and find out what's going on." Harry explained it to me, while giving my shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

"Okay, that makes more sense." I said with a nod of my head.

"Where's the second place, we're going?" Harry asked El with his deep husky voice.

"Haven't picked a spot, I'm going to start on it in about two hours."

"El why are you stopping?" I asked her with a confused look on my face.

El cleared her throat and walked over to me. She put a hand on my shoulder, and gave me a sad smile.

"Natty it's time you tell him the story."
