Emma's P.O.V

"You hungry, honey pie?" Bill asks me,stroking my cheek. Of course I am hungry- but will I hell let him do anything for me.

"No."I say sternly,jerking my head to the side, making his chubby fingers drop from my face.

"Well, my darling, looks like you could use a nice little meal, you're so skinny... don't want you wasting away...Especially as I'm gonna have you a long time. I wanna make sure all the trouble your dad and Styles put me through has something good outta it." He says repulsively, re-buttoning his shirt which had popped open due to his humongous stomach and the seriously ill fitting shirt he had suppressing it.

"Looks like you could do without one." I muttered under my breath- to which he heard. I was expecting a slap across my face, but it seemed to have came across as humorous to Big Bill, as he chuckled lightly and began to stroke my head.

"You're a funny girl..." He smirked, "You may find my weight a good laugh, but baby,what I find hilarious is that it doesn't look like your beloved Harry is coming. Or your weak father. It's been, what, four hours? Ain't they wondering where you are?"

Ouch...

"Look, fatso. They will come for me. Just wait and see. You've made a sorry mistake for kidnapping me." I bit back, but this time I was met with a stinging slap.

"The fat jokes are getting old, sweet pea," He sneered, "If your father or Styles try any funny business, I won't be as gentle as I am being with you."

"Well, Big Bill, it won't be you doing nothing now will it? It'll be one of your  bodyguards. You act so big and mighty, but could you do anything for yourself without those big idiots by your side? You're a pussy, Bill- you know you are. Oh wow! Kidnap the damsel in distress- what an original and totally nefarious idea(!)... how low did it take for you to think that one up? But what you don't realise... is I am no damsel in distress!" I spit, giving no fucks what'll happen next. I abruptly got up and kicked him right in the balls. He falls to his knees wincing in pain.

"Gina!"He yells and I run as quick as I can out of the room. I am being chased by the woman I saw before, but I am in the lead. I run out of the front door to be stopped in my tracks by the fellow cronies of Bill.
"I've got her." Gina says, ordering her fellow guards to step back.
She takes me by the hand round the back of a hedge.
"I'm Gina. I am friends with Styles. I was supposed to be helping to protect you- but unfortunately I no longer want to do that because Styles can't keep you in your lane. You've brought this all on your self by putting your nose in it."
"How did I bring being kidnapped from my own bedroom on myself? Look, lady, if you're really friends with Harry, you'd help me out- I'm just trying to help my dad." I spat.

"Harry told you to keep your nose out of it. And why did you think you were kidnapped, hm?Because your a silly little girl who needs to listen to people who know more about this whole thing better than you."

"I did keep my nose out of it! I'll have you know, I was kidnapped 'cause my Dad was paying for all my uncle Curtis' losses for Bill and he hasn't gave him all of the money. And cause Harry isn't working for him anymore, he's losing out even more money- so until Harry comes back to sell for Bill, I'm stuck here. So don't you tell me you know more than me, are you the one being held hostage? You're not."

Gina's expression went from stone cold to absolutely dumbfounded.

"W-wait...your uncle Curtis?" She asked me.

"Yes. My fucking uncle, Curtis."

"You... look, I'm sorry for being a bitch. But you're Curtis' niece and by doing good by Curtis, that means I'll do good by you. I will help you, but you will need to promise that you will never talk to Harry Styles again. You will not pursue this little 'thing' you have with him. You are not good for him. You will only put him in a position where he'll end up like Curtis. Do you really wanna ruin his life?" She asks me, tucking her brown hair behind her ear.

I didn't want to ruin his life.As much as he means a lot to me and he has done so much for me, I can't fuck him up.  I can't pursue things, as much as I want to. It's not the right time for us. If he truly wanted to be with me, he'd understand that- he will wait for me.

"O.K." I sigh.

Harry's P.O.V

We finally reached Big Bill's mansion and I saw her there outside- with Gina.  Had Gina had a change of heart? 

We got out of the car as soon as we could and ran into the garden. My gun was still in my hand, ready to pop whoever wanted to try me.

"C'mon, Emma, let's go." I said to her, grasping her by the hand, but she took her hand away from mine. What the hell?

"Harry... all along, you wanted to protect me. But it's me who should be protecting you..." She said, her eyes full of tears.

"What are you talking about, Emma?" Norman said. Emma gave him a glare, but looked back at me, her tears spilling from her eyes.

"You have to let me go, Harry. It's not our time." She says. My heart grows heavy, but I am distracted by a punch to my face- I turn round and it's from Norman. Wow, Norman. Little man, powerful hands.

"You've been fucking around with my teenage daughter?!" He yelled, pushing me more.

"Dad! Leave him be!" Emma shouted- her little angelic voice breaking and becoming intimidating. I'll admit, that was kind of hot.

"I'm going in that fucking mansion, I'm giving that fat fuck his money, and you better be in that fucking stupid car you are in debt with and out of sight, if I see you again around my daughter- either one- the cops will see to it you have a nice cold hard cell to sit in!" Norman yelled, giving me one more punch.

He went inside and I took the opportunity to say goodbye to Emma.

"This hurts me, you know? I thought me and you had a pretty good chance."

"We could- we might. But right now isn't the time for us..." She cried, embracing me in a hug.

"I'm not giving up on you, baby." I sigh, giving her a kiss on her forehead.

I give her a smile and decide to walk away. With my heart heavy and my eyes full of tears, I turned on my heels and retreated to my car.

One day...she'll be mine.
