Love Again

Chapter 7

"What did I tell you?!" He grabbed me and pulled a gun up against my head.

"To listen." I said.

"And did you?" He asked.

"You never said not to call anyone."

He put the gun harder against my temple, and I saw Harry sneaking in through the balcony. What the hell is he doing here? I gave him a questioning look but he just put his pointer finger against his lips telling me to be quiet.

I don't think Ethan has seen him but Harry's standing over the edge I assume helping Ed.

"Who did you call?!" He yelled at me.

I didn't answer him cause right now Ed's more than a friend to me but he's not my boyfriend.

"Answer me bitch!" "M-my-my boyfriend." He pushed me down to the floor and I cower into the corner and he started kicking me in the ribs.

"We're still together you don't get to have another boyfriend."

I knew Ed and possibly Harry were out there listening to this whole thing happening so I screamed for Ed.

"Ed!" I screamed from the top of my lungs.

 He kicked me again and the door burst open and my ginger haired crush is standing there.

"So you're the so called 'boyfriend'."

"No I am the boyfriend."

  "Ed..." I whimpered. He looked at me and gave me sad eyes. Ethan looked between the both of us and he pulled me up and put the gun against my head again.

"Any moves and I pull the trigger." Ed looked panicked like he wasn't sure what to do in this situation.

"Look mate can...can we just talk it out or...just don't hurt her, please."

Ethan looks at me seeing I'm crying and he laughs darkly. "He's British huh?" I didn't say anything but then he puts his arm around by waist with the gun still to my head.

I've got two options. He'll kill Ed or I can knock him down while he's distracted and we can get the hell out of here. I choose the latter.

"Look man why do you want anything to do with her anyways you broke up months ago!" Ed yelled.

"You ruined her life! you emotionally abused her and she still hasn't gotten over it because of you and you're a fucking asshole who doesn't deserve her but yet you come back and put a fucking gun to that beautiful girls head just let her fucking go!" Ed screamed even more.

He turned me around to face him and just looked at me then pushed me back into the mirror and it shattered.

Ed tried coming over to help me but Ethan grabbed him and punched him but Ed blocked him and punched him in the nose, then in his groin and he was on the floor where Ed repeatedly kicked him in the ribs. I kept calling for him but he wouldn't listen, then I saw Harry and he bent down so I could get on his back since I probably couldn't walk.

  "Make him stop Haz please." He took my outside on the balcony.

"I'm going to okay. I will bring him back to you and then we're getting the fuck out of here and going back to London." I just nodded my head telling him okay.

I don't know what Harry did to calm him down but I saw him pull him off Ethan and bring him back to me. I felt like I couldn't breathe because Ethan kicked me so much but when Ed came outside we just stared at each other and then I ran into his arms sobbing.

"It's okay babe. It's okay. He isn't going to hurt you anymore I promise." I couldn't help but cry and clutch onto his flannel.

  "Alright guys uhm..I have a jet waiting at the airport for you to go back to London. There's a cab outside. I'll take care of everything, the cops are on their way. Courtnie," he says and I just look at him.

"Tell Shawna I love her and I'll be home soon. I'll take care of all of this, he won't come near you again I promise you that."

I nodded my head and let go of Ed and hugged Harry so tight. "Thank you Styles." He chucked.

"You're my wife's best friend and you're like my other sister I never had, there's no way I wouldn't not protect you especially when it involves that asshole," I just laughed into his shoulder. "Now...go get your man." I let go of him and I looked up at him and he was smiling cheekily at me then at Ed.

I went over to Ed and he looks down at me and kissed my forehead and intertwined our hands "Let's go." He whispered. And we left to the airport.

2 weeks later

  At first I was just lying in bed all day, well in Ed's bed and would lay there with Graham and Bellini, his cats. But he never left my side unless he had to go to the studio or a show or something. But he finally got me better after two weeks and tonight we're going to a party that Ed's record label is throwing and I told him I want to get drunk and he just laughed.

  We walked into the huge mansion and Fancy by Iggy was playing. "Do you want anything to drink?" He asks me in my ear, and I nodded my head yes and told him to get us some shots.

He came back with four or five shots and with my guy best friend Luke Hemmings. "Luke!" I yelled at him excitedly.

"Hey!" I hugged him so tight.

"I'm so sorry about what happened..."

"Please...don't." He nodded.

  Ed handed me our shots and kept handing me shot after shot after shot and kept saying "keep going baby." Finally after the sixth shot I was pretty sure I was drunk and I drug Ed to go dance and Wiggle came on by Jason Derulo and Snoop Dogg.

This was my perfect opportunity I started to grind my ass into his front and he moaned into my ear. "Let's get out of here baby.." I nodded and we left back to his flat.
