Life Before Death (Harry Styles)

Chapter 4.

Harry and I are currently walking down the street back to work. He hasn't asked me about my little episode at the cafe, for that I am grateful. We just have small conversations about music or movies. We actually have alot in common I have learned.

"I love working here." I say as we walk back into the bakery.

"Yeah me to." says Harry smiling.

"We are back!" I say walking to the hook where I put my apron on. There was silence but some muffled sounds. "Hey Harry I'm going to check on them." I say he just nods and continues to work.

I walk in the back and scream my heart out.

"What happened?!" Harry yells coming into the back with me. "Oh my god." he says as sees the sight of our bosses bloody bodies on the ground. The tears begin to roll down my cheeks. I start to sob as I fall to my knees. Harry grabs me and tells me to wait in the front. I do as I am told and call the police as well.

The police come and pronounce all of the women dead. Harry and I were called into questioning. I was such a mess that they let me go without questioning. Right now I am sitting on my couch staring at the blank white wall. My phone starts to ring I just look at it and ignore it. The door bell rings and I just groan but stand up anyway.

I slowly open the door to reveal Harry. I pull him into the house while closing and locking the door. I then turn around and pull him into a bone crushing hug. All I needed at this very moment was comfort. I then see the bodies laying on the floor all bloody which makes tears brim in my eye.

"Come here Alex." says Harry leading me towards the sofa. He sit down and I sit down next to him. He then pulls me onto his lap. He leans back so I lean back with him with my arms around his neck and my head pressed onto his chest. While Harry has his arms wrapped around my waist. All the noises you can hear are the sounds off my muffled sobs.

"Why them Harry?" I say after my sobs calm.

"I can't answer that Alex." Harry simply says. I yawn and snuggle closer to Harry. "You're tired. Here I will take you to your bed." he says before he picks me up.

"First door to the left." I explain as I watch him look deep in thought. He opens my bedroom door and plops me down on the bed. He is about to leave but I grab his hand. He then turns and looks at me.

"Whats wrong?" he asks quietly.

"I'm still scared. Will you stay? Please." I say looking into his eyes. He sharply nods and climbs in next to me. I lay on my side while Harry comes behind me and hugs me close. His warmth soon makes me even more sleepier. Right before I fall asleep I swear I hear Harry whisper.

"You will never understand how much I like you."
