Rescued

Chapter 13

Harry

For the last two days Liam and I have been worked to death. They've been training us in everyway possible, last night we both had to go stay in the infirmary for the night, Sal took that as her opportunity to tell us what was going on. Apparently John was planning on making Liam and I new additions to his personal guard. I just laughed at her "he can sure try, I'll never work for him. Not after what he's done to my family"

Concequentely one of the other guards was there and let John know what I said so now he's working us 18 hours a day. We get maybe six hours of sleep a night. But all I can think of the last two days is how Louis and Alex are holding up, there are a lot of times where I'll pause on working cause I can hear Louis screaming. I can't even imagine what's happening with Alex right now, that and I don't want to. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

As more and more time goes by, Alex is becoming more and more a part of me. Though it's in a different way then what it was originally, I used to believe I was doing all this for her because I was in love with her. Overtime I've found that's not the case, Alex isn't a lover to me, she's like a sister. That's how I love her, I love her like a sister.

The more I think about that guy hurting her during the day, the more stuff I brake in the gym area. I've gone through three punching bags the last two days. I also broke a bunch of stuff from throwing baseball's and tennis balls. They seriously just have buckets of them sitting around so when I get angry I start throwing them.

Liam is dealing with all this in the opposite way, he's super sad all the time. Can barely get out of bed, so Sal's been having to keep him in the infirmary. Usually that would be me, but bloodier. I can feel the bad feelings coming back whenever I hear Louis or think about Alex. I think about how much I've failed them, that's when I start hitting things. I've found that if I turn it into anger than the bad feelings go away.

They won't stay away forever, that's another reason we need to get Alex back. She helps the bad feelings go away, she makes it so I don't feel like hurting myself.  She just understands what I'm going through and maybe that's why it's easier to talk to her

I'm actually kinda glad that John decided to make us work down here. It'll make us stronger and then it'll be easier to kick his butt when we win.

Louis

How long has it been?

How long have I been trapped....trapped in this cold, small room?

When you see the same walls everyday, walls that have no windows and there's no light in the room except when John turns on the little light above my head. So it could be hours, days, maybe I've even been here a week. I just can't tell.

Everyday the pains the same. Everyday is the same. Except yesterday John actually let me go shower, I got put in the bathroom in the infirmary room. Now I haven't looked at myself to see just how much this is all effecting me.

I probably get to eat maybe once a day. When I went to go shower I looked it that mirror and I had no idea who was looking back. I'm already a scrawny person, but now you could practically see all my bones.

The thing that shocked me the most though, was removing my gross shirt and seeing all the burn marks and scars I'd received from John. It was so so many, how was Harry gonna react when, and if he sees this. How's Alex gonna react?

After my shower the dragged me back here, but for a split second I saw Harry. He was also in the infirmary, the doctor was looking at a gash on his collar bone. What have they got him doing? Please don't let them win Haz. We've got to go get Alex. Don't give in.

Then he looked at me, he actually saw me. He hasn't gotten up that quickly in a while, the nurse turned around and saw me as well. She tried to get Harry to sit back down but I could tell he was trying to get past her. When he finally did he started to run at us, the guards dragging me didn't even notice him coming up behind them.

I looked at him with hope when he started to reach for one of the guards holding me up. But then everyone stopped and froze at the sudden explosions we could all hear around us. The guards didn't think twice before dropping me and running for the door to see what was going on.

They didn't even get a hand on the door before it blew off it's hinges. I watched from the ground I'd been dropped on to see who could possibly be coming through that door. Harry slowly walked over to me and helped me up but kept his eyes on the door way.

My arm draped over Harry's shoulder he was holding me up all the way because I had no strength to do it myself. Another loud bang came from the doorway and black smoke billowed out. Two guards dropped through the smoke and landed on the ground with a thump.

Harry and I continued to stand frozen, whoever was in there knew what they were doing. Maybe it was Brad? Boy was I surprised when Alex walked through that doorway. My heart started to ache at the sight of her.

She looked at us and smiled with tears in her eyes, but when she looked at me I could physically see her heart breaking through her eyes. The smile on her face faded as she made her way over to me, Harry tried to hold me as upright as possible as she put a hand on my cheek.

"What has he done to you?" tears escaped both our eyes as she spoke "I'm so sorry I took so long, but we're going to get out of here this time. No exceptions" then for the first time in what seemed like years, we shared a kiss.

Definitely the best one I've had. The way we moved together, nothing had changed. Well, of our feelings towards one another anyways. She broke away and smiled softly "let's go home guys"
