Seventeen - Friends

"Avery! Dear god you're okay!" I hear a voice. I turn around and see Zoe running towards me. I embrace myself for a bone crushing hug that I know was coming. When she reaches me puts her arms around and squeezes me tight. Geez, I though a petite girl liker her couldn't be that strong, guess I was wrong.

"You're acting like I've been gone for weeks," I state when she lets me go.

"Have you got any idea how worried I was? How worried we all were, you just disappeared just like that," she rambles.

"It's not like it was my fault," I mumble and sit down on the couch.

"Just be more careful please, Harry's here to protect you, not to let you wander around in the city. You should let him protect you, okay?"

"Yeah, I know that now," I sigh and let my head fall backwards.

"It really was a dumb move of you," I suddenly hear a voice speaking. I sigh and look up to see Liam standing in the room.

"I'm sorry okay? I was mad and it was stupid decision, I get it," I answer getting annoyed.

"I don't care if you're mad at Harry because he punched your boyfriend in the face, you need him to protect you. You can't just run away from him, you know what happens."

"God, Liam I fucking get it," I grunt and close my eyes.

"Can we just for a second think about me who was stuck with those bastards? Do you have any idea how fucking scared I was? At first I thought they were gonna kill me okay? You can get pissed at me later, but can you just please feel for me for a second," I rant.

"Okay, I'm sorry," Liam apologizes and sits down.

"Now tell me, what happened there?"

"How are your wrists?" Harry asks and inspects my bandages.

"They hurt like hell," I answer and wince when he touches them.

"I'll call Alfie, can't believe I haven't thought about that," he mutters the last part.

"Why? Is he magically gonna heal my wounds?" I state sarcastically.

"In a matter of fact, he actually is gonna do that," Harry answers.

"This just keeps getting weirder and weirder."

"It's so sweet he takes care of you," Zoe says as soon as Harry walks out of the door. Her words make me smile and I nod.

"It feels good to have someone take care of you," I state with a smile.

"Alfie's in the area, he'll be here in a couple minutes," Harry informs us when he walks back into the room. When Harry sits next me I see a little smile appear on Zoe's face.

"I'll leave you too alone," she says and takes her mug full with tea and puts it in front of her lips to hide her little smile.

"Are you a bit calmed down? Having that experience must have freaked you out a bit," Harry asked.

"Yeah, I'm a bit better now that I know I'm save," I smile and lay my head down on a question and close my eyes to rest a bit.

"Hello friends!" a voices wakes me up. I rub my eyes and look at the person standing in the middel of the living room, Alfie.

"Where's the girl that I need to heal?" Alfie smiles and looks around.

"That'll be me," I answer and show him my wrists.

"What happened to you?" Alfie asks and shoos Harry away so he can sit next to me.

"Stupid prick put handcuffs on me and then tightened them until my wrists started bleeding," I explain.
