Harmony's POV:

“So, what happened exactly to Harry?” Niall asks in tensed matter, previewing his gentle care to his friend’s condition. “I was being robbed, and then all of a sudden Harry showed up to protect me. But then the thief shot him and ran away.” Liam asks instantly: “Did you retrieve what was stolen from you?”



I nod, answering: “I picked up my wallet, when he ran away. But I was too busy with Harry’s condition… (My tone changes to sadness) It’s complicated between us, but he deserves being thanked; no matter the amount of negative charges between us.” The four guys share looks with each other, not quite following what I meant with the second part. “At least you’re safe, love.” I give Louis a thankful smile, since his care overflowed his words.




We suddenly hear footsteps coming downstairs, and once the owner reaches to the living room, he freezes. “Bloody hell! Why on earth is she here!? Who told you to bring her here! Don’t you know what risk she might be at? You twats should have thought earlier before making her join!” I stay quiet, hearing Harry’s freaked out words.




“Will you calm down? (He huffs his breath in annoyance) Harmony asked to come with us. We didn’t bring her here intentionally.” Zayn explains, as my mind questions the fact of me being safe here. Why won’t I be safe? Aren’t I in a closed house with people that I started to gain their trust? “You need to leave, right now.” Harry looks at me with piercing glares, and I begin to feel that I am unwanted. I stand up; But Niall pulls my hand back to sit down, in forceful kindness. 




“It’s past 1:00 am already, and she won’t leave. (He gives me a kind look) Harmony has something to tell you; alone.” The guys nod to Niall’s words, leaving us alone in the living room. Harry sighs, looking at me with a stern expression. I don’t understand him, two hours ago he was ready to slip under my pants, and now he’s kicking me out? “(I stand up, facing Harry) You’re absolutely right, this is not my house; its yours. I’ll go, but I just wanted to thank you for what you’ve done. (I tilt my head downwards) Goodnight, and feel better soon, Harry.”



I avoid his figure as I begin to walk past him, but his hand stops me. “(He speaks calmly) Wait. (I turn around, looking at him) You stayed here, just to tell me thank you?” I nod, tilting my head downwards again. He lifts my chin up with his healthy hand, looking at me with complete warmth; for once.




“I can’t let you go back to your place. It’s really late, and I probably won’t be able to drive you back with my condition. Just stay here, and I’ll make sure one of the lads drives you back in the morning.” I shake my head directly, but in a slow motion. “Its fine, if god wants me to die, then I will. I’ll be safe with this (I take out my cross necklace, holding it in between my fingers).”




His eyes study me, puzzled by my action and words. “You’re staying.” He nods to himself, and since I don’t want to trigger his anger; I accept. “Lou!” Harry calls, and just seconds after; Louis appears from upstairs. “Give her something from El’s clothes.” Louis looks at Harry in amazement, and he nods with a glad grin. Who's El? Never mind.




“Once you’re done, follow me to my room. (He smirks) I guess you now know where that is, don’t you?” I find it hard to smile, so I act spontaneously. He smiles back, and for the first time I see his adorable dimples popping. I go upstairs, staring at the paintings hung on the wall. They look priceless; actually the entire house seems to be highly expensive for a plumber’s paycheck. That’s a little intriguing, but I’ll pass the questioning thoughts for now.
