Euphonious Memories {H.S}

13.

Harry opened the door and the police walked in. He showed them to where Niall was and they went up to him.

They put handcuffs on Niall's hands and led him out to the police car.

"Thank you for calling us." One of the cops told Harry. "We will be sure that he is locked up. Does she have any injuries?" He asked looking up at me. I shook my head no and the police nodded. They then went out of the house.

"Let's go." Harry said to me and I followed him out of the door. When I walked outside, it was dark.

"What time is it?" I asked Harry.

"4 am"

The car ride on the way to my apartment was quiet, so Harry turned the radio on.

Harry started singing along to the music and I was mind blown. I never knew he had such an amazing voice.

"I'm thinking about how, people fall in love in mysterious ways maybe just the touch of a hand."

His fingers were tapping along to the beat on the steering wheel. When the song was over I looked over at him.

"Woah." I said not knowing what else to say.

"What?" He asked chuckling and looking over at me.

"Your voice... I mean I knew you sang, but I didn't know you were so good." He didn't say anything he just smiled.

When we got to the apartment, Raine wasn't there.

"Where's Raine?" I asked looking around.

"She went to visit Aunt Tina again. She left a few minutes before you texted me so she hasn't even heard what happened yet."

I let out a long breath that I didn't realize I'd been holding. I didn't think I would ever get out of that room. When I came out of the room I realized that I had been in his basement. I never imagined in million years that I would ever be kidnapped. I was just glad it wasn't more than a day.

"Hey, Are you alright?" Harry asked looking at me with wrinkled eyebrows. He must have saw me deep in thought.

"I...I...uh" to be honest I was not alright. I had just been kidnapped and locked in a dark cold basement for about 13 hours. "No" I said feeling a teardrop roll down my cheek.

"Don't cry again." Harry said walking over to me. "Look you're safe now. I've got you." He said wrapping his arms around me. I buried my face into his chest.

"I...was...so..scared" I said in between sobs. "I...thought that my...text didn't...go through...and my phone went dead...all I had ...was my pepper spray."

"Hey hey hey Sky look at me." He said holding my shoulders gently making me look at him. "Look at me. I promise you I will never ever let that happen again. Niall is in jail now and he can't get to you." As soon as he says Niall's name, I remember why I was at his house in the first place. The whole reason that I was there was to learn the truth about Harry's sister. The dark truth that I was going to have to tell him.

"Okay." I sobbed and gave him a hug. "I knew you had a nice side to you." I say with a smile and Harry laughed.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" He asked me nodding towards the tv.

"Sure." I Answered and walked over to sit on the couch, Harry followed me.

"Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we can find?" Harry asked me sitting down beside me with the remote in his hand. I nodded and he searched for a movie.

I couldn't concentrate on the movie. The whole time, all I could think of was how I was going to tell Harry about Gemma.

"What?" He asked when he looked over at me. I hadn't realized that I had been staring at him.

"Um can you pause that I have to tell you something." He paused the movie and turned around to look at me.

"It's about Niall." I said in almost a whisper.

"I told you that you don't have to worry about him."

"No it's not that."

"Then what is it?" He said with a confused look.

"I know what happened to Gemma." I paused and looked up at him as he scooted closer to me so he could listen.

And at that moment I didn't think I could tell him the whole truth. He was so happy and excited that we finally had a night together without Raine in the apartment. And I could tell that he felt relief after such a long time.

"Well um, he did kidnap her...but he did something else as well." I felt tears gather in my eyes. I looked into Harry's emerald ones and my heart sank.

There was no way I could tell him every detail at that moment. So I lied.

"Harry, he...well he." Harry put his hand on my back and gently rubbed his hand up and down it as a comforting motion. "He killed her." I said barely over a whisper.

There was a long silence. Harry didn't really react to the news. He just kind of sat there in shock for literally thirty minutes. After a long while he finally spoke.

"So he did it?" He asked through his teeth. "He murdered my sister?" I nodded my head, not knowing what to say.

He got up and walked into the room that he was staying in and didn't come out. 

After a while, I heard strums if the guitar that he had replaced his broken one with.

He was playing a song that I had never heard before. I felt really bad. I mean he didn't know for sure that she was dead until now. He knew that she had been missing, but he wasn't for sure that she was dead.

"Hey!" Said a perky voice walking in the door. "What's with the long face?" Raine asked looking at me. She had not a clue of what all we had been through in the past 24 hours.
