Euphonious Memories {H.S}

21.

I must admit I thought I'd like to make you mine, as I went about my business through the
warning signs

When we got to The Limestone cafe, it was 4:30 and Harry wasn't on until 5. We sat down at a small round table with tall chairs.

After a while I got hungry so I went up to the coffee bar to get a snack.

"Hi can I get a chocolate chip muffin with a water." I asked the boy at the counter. When he turned around he looked familiar,but I didn't remember where I had seen him before.

"Skyler?" He asked.

"Uh yeah...and who are you?" I asked nicely.

"It's me, Ethan." He said like I was supposed to know what he was talking about. I looked at him with confusion. "From Roxy's party?" He said like it was obvious.

I vaguely remembered seeing him there. All of a sudden I remembered.

As I was walking,I tripped on my heel. Before I hit the ground I felt a hand catch my arm, preventing me from hitting my head on the floor.

I looked up and saw s guy with short brown hair holding my elbow.

"Careful there, blue eyes." He said chuckling. "Hi I'm Ethan."

"Oh yeah! Ethan!" I said remembering that night.  "Hi" I said laughing at myself.

"Hi" He said laughing back.

"Hi." Said a stern British voice behind me. I turned around and saw Harry standing there. He looked enraged with fury. His dimples were nowhere to be seen. If looks were deadly, then Ethan would have dropped to the ground.

"Hi can I get you anything." Ethan asked him as he handed me my muffin and water.  Harry didn't say anything he just glared at him.

"Uh Thanks for this." I say smiling and pointing to my food. As I walked away, Harry followed me. "Harry what do you want from me?" I asked suddenly stopping.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Oh don't go all Justin Beiber on me! You know exactly what I'm talking about!" I yelled.

He looked into my eyes and took a deep breath. He looked like he was about to say something and then someone called his name up to the stage.

"At this time I would like to welcome young Mr. Harry Styles to the stage."

"I've got to go." He said and walked up onto the stage. He picked his guitar up off the stand and talked into the microphone. "Hi, erm I'm Harry and I'm going to sing for you." He said and started strumming his acoustic guitar slowly. He then made eye contact with me and started singing.

I got a girl crush, hate to admit it but, I got a heart rush ain't slowing down.

My heart dropped to the floor. His voice was just...unexplainable. He literally sang like an angel, even though he could act like a devil.

The whole song he didn't lose eye contact with me. When he was done, I had tears in my eyes and chills from his singing.

The audience went wild. Harry got a standing ovation. The look of accomplishment on his face warmed my heart. His dimples were visible again and he was smiling widely.

"Thank you! Thank you!" He said and then walked off stage.

I was sitting at the table with Raine and he walked over to us.

"Harry you did great!" She complimented him. She stood up and gave him a hug. He hugged her back thanking her. He pulled away and then shot me a death glare.

"What?" I asked and he just ignored me. "By the way you have an amazing voice." I said and he just looked at me. What was his problem?

I was about to ask him, when all of a sudden there was a scream near the door. One scream turned into a crowd of screams and then there was a gunshot. Not one but multiple gunshots.

I saw a man figure with black clothes and a black mask over his face. He had a gun in his hand and it was aimed at random people in the cafe. He fired at different people. I stood there in shock for a few seconds not knowing what to do.

"Townes run!!!" I heard Raine yell at me. So I did. I ran the only direction I knew to go. I ran behind the coffee bar and heard more gunshots while I was running. There were screams all around the room. Raine was sitting beside me and there were other people gathered together scrunched behind the bar.

However what scared me the most was not knowing where Harry was. I didn't see him behind the bar and there were still gunshots being fired.

"Where did Harry go?!" I asked Raine who had tears streaming down her face.

"I don't..." She stopped talking when she looked down at my side. "Oh my God!" She yelled, crying more than she already was.

"What?" I asked and followed my eyes to where her's were looking widely in fear. I then saw the reason that she reacted the way she did.

There was blood on my striped shirt. It was my blood. I didn't realize that I had been shot until I touched where the blood was coming from. It stung badly. After a few minutes of staring at the wound in shock, my head got dizzy.

"Townes? Townes. Stay with me. I heard a voice say. No no no stay awake." The voice said. I wanted to listen to it. I wanted to do what the voice was telling me to do, but I couldn't control what was happening. "Please." I then heard a sob from the same voice. "Please stay with me."

Then came the darkness. After the darkness was more darkness. And I had no idea what was going on.
