Harry had showered while I laid in the bed, it was 10x more comfortable than my own bed.
"Harry, I need clothes I can't wear these same ones anymore, they're dirty.
He exited the bathroom in only a towel. I tried not to gawk at him but c'mon.
"I need shoes too, I have nothing."
"Okay, I'll get dressed and we'll leave."
Harry put the codes in as we left the house. It was about 6pm. He put in more codes once we were in the garage. He helped me in the car, I could do it myself but didn't want to tell him. He pulled out of the garage and made our way down the driveway. I closed my eyes and hummed to the music playing on the radio. We drove for what seemed like forever and took so many turns I loss track after the 4th. We came to a sign that said "Manchester Shopping Center"
"Harry, I thought we were going to get my things?"
"Well I needed some new things so were at the shops." he seemed a little weird. He looked around multiple times before moving something under his shirt.
"Well I have no money on me, everything is lost."
He ignored what I said and parked the car neat the front. He got out of the driver side and came around to my side. Then helped me out of the car. I have on no shoes and felt completely ridiculous. People stared at us, especially at Harry. A big gangster walking with a homeless looking girl. We went into a door that let right into a big department store. I found some cute nikes that would work. They were black but reflective.
"I'll pay you back once I get a new card."
He again ignored me. I found some black socks and called it good. We went to the register and the lady was taken back by us. She continued to stare and give me dirty looks.
"Keep looking at my girl like that and you'll have bigger problems than a girl with no shoes." she looked completely appalled by what Harry said. I had to fight the urge to laugh. Harry paid with his card and I put on the shoes and socks immediately.
We walked through the shops until Harry found Calvin Klein, he grabbed some black and white shirts along with some boxers. He grabbed a few other items but I couldn't see what. I grabbed a sports bra since being braless around Harry was not an option. I grabbed another something too while Harry wasn't looking. He was at the registered almost finished checking out when I threw my mystery item on before he could notice. She bagged our things and we headed back out to find Victoria Secret.
"I've got to piss, can you handle yourself for 10 minutes?"
"Yea I'm fine, I'll be in here until your done." Harry handed me his card before walking out of the store. I looked around and grabbed some panties, they were having a sale so I got 7. I saw some cute lingerie, I loved it. It was red and had beautiful lace detailing. I wondering if Harry would like it. Oh, god why am I thinking these thoughts?! He's not my boyfriend and will never be. Just a hot, pain in the ass. I grabbed some leggings before checking out. I realized Forever 21 was across the hall so I decided to get a hoodie from there. I was wandering around looking at shirts and a few jumpers when I heard screaming followed by gunshots. Everyone in the store screamed and ran for the dressing rooms. The workers proceeded to pull down the store gates. I quickly ran and slide under the gate.
"Ma'am please come back this is an emergency"
"Fuck off"
I immediately knew the gunshots were from Harry or someone going after him. I went towards the noise while everyone else was running away from it. I got looks of terror and looks of confusion. I went towards the food court slowly and cautiously. I lowered myself behind a large Kiosk. I saw Harry closer to me behind a table with another guy, I couldn't see his face though. On the opposite side of the food court was where the gunshots were coming from. I saw Harry loading a gun while his friend was shooting at the attackers. He went to turn around when someone caught my eye. They were behind one of the businesses and had a direct shot to Harry. I didn't think about my next move, only about Harry.
I stood up and went to the fire alarm about 10 feet from where I was standing. I was completely visible. Everything stopped and Harry was looking at me, more pissed than ever. The attackers started making a run for it, if the cops weren't called yet then they were definitely coming now.
Harry and his friend who I know remember as Zayn came running towards me. I knew Harry was gonna give me an ear full. His eye dark again, almost black and his friend just look annoyed.
"Harry-"
He grabbed my bags and started walking towards the parking lot.
I struggled to keep up with them as their long legs walked much faster than mine. Being wounded didn't help either. Nobody in the mall had come out of the stores yet so we were the only ones walking around.
"Harry, Harry! Slow down, I can't keep up." I was running out of breath.
Zayn was on the phone with someone but I couldn't quite hear what they were talking about. We quickly found Harrys car and he put all of our bags in the boot. I went to open the passenger door but Harry grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the back seat. I was confused but in no position to question him right now.
We sat in the backseat while his friend Zayn drove. He started the car and pulled off quickly and onto the road. The music was loud and tension was thick in the air. Harry put his hand on my thigh and squeezed it. It was almost reassuring until he squeezed harder and harder. I let out a small cry and looked at him. He was looking out the window and didn't pay any attention to me. He had a tight grip on my thigh and wasn't letting up anytime soon. We sat like this until Harry got a phone call.
Zayn turned down the music.
"What?" He didn't seem happy with whoever he was talking to. "Yeah. Right Now? Yeah whatever. Okay." He hung up and told Zayn to go to the workhouse. I instantly felt nervous and remembered the kind of "work" Harry did.
"Do you think you could take me home?" I asked Harry but he continued to ignore me. Well, I guess I was going into the snake pit.
I leaned against Harry when I felt something cover my mouth and everything went black.
