Harry's P.O.V

"I'm tired Harry. I just can't cope with it any more! I want out... Ii want Josh!" She wept into my shoulder. I couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in my heart as she said those words 'I want Josh' I had no right to feel hurt, he was her boyfriend after all, I just couldn't help it. I couldn't be falling for her. Could I? 

No, No, I'm definitely not in love with her! That would be stupid! I mean look at her...She's... She's... Oh god, who am I kidding! I'm in love with her. Who wouldn't be, She's perfect, She's gorgeous... She has a boyfriend. 

I looked down at her and watched carfully for a few seconds as she slept soundly. I smiled to myself and ran through different scenarios in my mind. Imagining what it would be like to be in Josh's position, To be able to fall asleep next to Arianna every night not in... well wherever it is that we are. I want to be able to tell her how beautiful she is and how much I love her.

If she could read my mind right now she would prabably think I was a creep or something. 

I looked at her leg, Blood was seeping through the thin cotton wrapped around her leg. It made me feel sick knowing that I effectivley caused that. She didn't have to get the key, but she did. Which makes me wonder why. She supposedly hates me, Yet got so upset yesterday when me dying became a possibility. Does she love me back? 

I was pulled out of my thoughts as she moved under my arms. I heard her moan lightly before slowly opening her eyes. "Morning" She said grumpily. I just smiled at her. 

"Why do we always fall asleep like that?" She chuckled as she tried to sit up straight, The pain in her leg making it harder to move so I gave her a hand, Steadying her by holding her elbow

"Like what?" I asked, "Me on your shoulder! we're supposed to hate each other" She said sarcastically. "Well... I don't hate you... Not anymore anyway" I felt my cheeks start to burn up.

"What do you mean?" She furrowed her eyebrows and crinkled her nose making her look even more adorable! "Well... I guess... Seeing you so...weak and vunrable has made me realise that... maybe... your not that bad" I tried to chose my words carfully, not to overstep any boundries.

"I guess that makes sense... I sorta... Kinda... feel the same" Her voice went up at the end as though she were asking a question. I got my hopes up a little at her words but then realised she didn't feel the same, she didn't love me as much as I loved her. Her feelings towards me are... mutual. I sighed and looked at my hands.

"What's wrong?" She rested her hand on my bare arm, making goosebumps apear and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. No girl had ever made me feel like that.

"Nothing... I just hate it in here, I hate feeling trapped, I hate... this sick, sick game someones playing" I suddenly felt myself get really annoyed at whoever was doing this. I stood up and began to pace back and forth. 

I heard a silent whimper come from Arianna. I stopped and looked at her. She was crying again. "We're gonna die in here aren't we?" She sobbed. I hated seeing her upset, It broke my heart. "I... Don't know" I sighed. 

"I can't do this anymore" She whispered. I turned around as I heard her moving. She dragged herself across the floor to reach a large shard of glass. "What are you doing?" I yelled at her. "Tell Josh and the boys I love them!" She cried and brought the dirty piece of glass up to her throat. "NO!" i dropped to the floor and tried to pull her hand away. 

"Harry, Don't... Please, Let me die!" She said softly. I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Fine... I just want you to know, I wont tell Josh you love him... I'll tell him how selfish you were, ending your own life, not giving a shit what anyone else thinks or how anyone else will be effected." I said sternly.

"Don't you fucking dare try to guilt trip me..." She hissed at me and pressed the glass down harder on her throat.

I noticed another shard lying on the floor. I picked it up and brought it to my own neck, Just below my addams apple. "You die... I'm going with you..." I said calmly.

"Don't be stupid..." She shook her head.

"Don't believe me?" I asked through gritted teeth. "I would do anything for you... I love you" I heard the words leave my mouth. Her dark eyes widened at what I just said, she pretended not to hear what I said.

"Fine... we both die... But your giving up so much more than me... Your letting all your fans down, Your family... The boys" She was using my own tacticts and trying to guilt trip me into stopping. I wouldn't be that weak though.

"So..." Was all I could say.

"On the count of three we both do it? right?" She seemed so calm about it all which amazed me as I had just gone on about how weak and vunrable she is. 

"1..." She started. I gulped loudly... This is really gonna happen. I'm going to die. right here. Right now.

"2..." No more one direction, No more laughs with the boys, No more pain...

"STOP!" a loud voice echoed through the room before she could reach three. I sighed thankfully but then began to panic as I had no idea who or where the voice was coming from. 

"You cannot die... Not yet" The voice laughed manically. "Who are you!" I screamed. The piece of glass still at my throat.

"That doesn't matter... I want to let you know, The door in the corner of the room is open, This is your chance to escape... If you can find your way out!" He laughed like a mad man before slowly fading away.

I looked at Arianna. Fear took over her body and she dropped the glass, I did the same.

I heard a buzz before the door swung open. I looked back at Arianna, who looked up at me. 

"If it's our only way... We better risk it" She shrugged. I nodded in agreement and went to help her stand up.

She held onto my arm tightly and limped towards the door, Using me for balance. We left the room and made our way out.
