Free Falling (A Harry Styles Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 14

After I tackled Harry to the ground I realized I was on top of him on all fours. I glanced at the boys were all giving us weird looks. I coughed and quickly got off him. He smirked and threw me a wink. Crossing my arms and rolling my eyes, Niall chuckled and wrapped me in a towel. "Who wants lunch?!" Niall yelled as he ran to the cabin.

• LATER THAT DAY •

We all sat around a table in the living room playing truth or dare eating s'mores that were badly burnt thanks to Louis. "Okay, Harry...I dare you to.." Zayn bounced his finger against his chin then Niall whispered something into his ear. Zayn smirked and locked eyes with me. "I dare you to kiss Hanna."

I gulped hard and looked at Harry who's eyes were wide, but looking down. My cheeks were a light shade of pink and I coughed lightly. "O--" Suddenly, a buzzing noise startled me and the boys. Then, all the lights had turned off. I squealed and gripped onto Niall. My breathing turned heavy and it was pitch black. "Probably just the electrical system." Harry got up and flicked the light switch on and

off. Nothing. "I'll go check to see if there's a power box."

He left for a few moments, with no lights coming on. I stayed holding onto Niall because of my fear of the dark. His grip tightened on me and I looked up at him. "It'll be okay." I smiled and put my head in the crook of his neck. He is so sweet.

Harry returned with no luck. "Nope. Didn't work. Anybody got a signal on their phone?" We all looked when Liam's voice spoke up. "Oh! One signal..wait..nevermind." I sighed. "Well this is great..isn't the car out of gas?" A groan occurred from the boys. "Yeah. Somebody's gonna have to go find a signal." I was going to volunteer when Harry spoke up. "I will..I need to get out of this cabin anyways." We all agreed, but me. I wasn't going to say no though. "Yeah, that sounds good." Harry's eyes lingered on me for a second and then adverted his gaze. "Be safe and come back quick." Louis said before he left.

After Harry left, I kept thinking about the dare. Were we actually going to--kiss? The thought of even being looked at by Harry makes me feel odd.

Hours had passed and Harry hadn't come back. A feeling grew inside me. My hands were trembling and my heartbeat was becoming rapid. Niall and Liam sat beside me. "How long has it been?" I asked in a frantic voice. "An hour..he is probably on his way back now."

Three hours had past and it was now 3AM. We all sat out front around a fire. Harry was mot back and I was worried. I could tell the boys were getting worried also. Niall was biting his nails, Liam was pacing, Louis kept checking the back of the house, and Zayn's expression just read worry. My arms were slightly shaking, sweat gathered around my forehead. Niall comforted me by rubbing my back. It was embarrassing knowing your ex's best friends know you really care about him. I shouldn't. I should hate him. I want to, but I can't.

My eyes began to slowly drift closed, but I was determined to stay awake until he came back. Zayn and Niall were asleep out here, but Liam and Louis head back inside for bed. An overwhelming feeling took me over. What if he didn't come back? I didn't want to think about it. The crackling sound of the fire began to get louder. As it increased, I began to think it wasn't the fire. I looked around and darkness surrounded me. Leaves crunching is all I hear now. A shadow began to appear near the cabin. I whimpered and slowly stood up. "H-hello?" The shadow got closer and tears began to form. "Hello?" I said in a louder voice. A tear rolled down my cheek and a figure came towards me and I screamed. Suddenly, a light appeared on their face.
