Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter 1

(My P.O.V)

Today was the day I was supposed to hang out with my friend Bailee and Harry.

I've always had a small crush on him and Bailee always knew, but I thought this was going to

be the best day ever! After what seemed like forever, I finally made it to Harry's house.

The happiness bubbled up inside of me as I dashed happily to the door.

As soon as I knocked, there stood Bailee and Harry.

I smiled at them as they invited me in.

I sighed and sat down.

Bailee sat across from me and smiled.

"How are you Jazzy?! It feels like it's been forever!!!"

That nickname always made me smile.

"I've been great! How about you Harry?"

My heart fluttered as he ruffled his hair and swiped it to the other side and flashed me a cheeky grin.

"Good."

Suddenly Bailee looked at us and said, "I've gotta go home and do some cleaning. See you two in a bit!"

She winked at me as she passed by.

It felt like my heart stopped as I saw that Harry inched closer to me.

He swung his right leg over the other and put an arm behind my neck.

A smirk was plastered on his face and I gulped.

Then he chuckled and said,"Oh baby girl... If only you knew how much I want you to be mine..."

The smirk got wider and I whimpered.

He noticed me tremble and asked innocently,"What's wrong love?"

I couldn't take it, so I ran for it.

He waited a while and Bailee's house was only a few blocks away.

After a few minutes of running, I burst into her house and gasped for air.

She gave me a glass of water.

While I drank it, she asked, "Are you ok? What happened back there?!"

"I-I..."

I began, until Harry opened the door and I hid behind Bailee.

She crossed her arms and he sneered.

"You can't hide her from me..." He growled.

I took a step back and she did the opposite.

"I won't let you touch her."

He rolled his eyes and tried to brush past her.

She was strong enough to hold him back, but only door a minute.

I felt like I couldn't move at all.

Then he was finally able to get through and he grabbed my arm.

I gasped and tried to tug away but it was useless.

He was too strong for me to loosen his grip.

I looked up into his emerald green eyes with fear and trembled.

He smirked at me and looked back at Bailee.

"I told you I could get away with anything."

"Not for long."she snorted back.

I shook harder this time and Harry held onto me tighter.

Suddenly I was actually able to relax a little bit more than before.

He was observing me and then his eyes trailed back to Bailee once again.

She glared at him and stomped off.

He kissed my forehead and pulled me onto the couch with him as he sighed and fell back. His grip finally loosened and I was about to run after her until he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down, which caused me to fall onto his chest.

"O-oh... I'm s-sorry Harry, I-I j-just..."

"Shh...." He put his finger to my lips and my heart was beating faster by the second.

I thought I heard voices in Bailee's bedroom, and as if it was over the phone, but I mostly heard her voice and a faint voice at the other line.

It seemed to be on speaker, so Harry kissed my temple once more and finally let go.

We both crept into the hallway by the room and pressed our ears up against the door.

After what seemed to be 10 minutes she opened the door and Harry grabbed me by the arm and pulled me close, once again.

She flashed her teeth with an angry growl and heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it!"

She said and dashed to the door.

I ran after her and Harry followed too.

I practically fainted as Liam walked through the door and held me with his big, strong biceps.

I inhaled his sweet smell of aftershave and a hint of his minty breath while I could savor the moment.

It didn't seem to last very long before Harry purposely coughed and looked at Liam coldly.

I glanced up at Liam's sepia eyes, which was soon returned back. I shuddered a little as Harry smirked and grabbed my hand but Liam pulled me away and held me tighter.

I pressed my hand up against his chest, as well as my face.

"Liam, back off!" He shouted.

I could feel Liam getting tense.

It scared me a little and Harry snorted at him, and frowned a little at me.

I knew there was a smirk in there somewhere.

"L-Liam...-"

"Babe I've got this." He promised with a serious look on his face.

He let me go as he towered over Harry, only by an inch or so.

They glared at each other and I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran over to them and grabbed Harry's shoulder.

"Get off of me." He snapped and turned around sharply.

My face fell as he frowned and tried to offer a hug but I pulled away.

Liam was tugging him away but it only worked for a while, surprisingly.

He did it again but this time, I said,"No!!! Don't touch me..."

I ran to the bathroom and locked the door.

I heard footsteps by the door and I heard Liam's voice.

"Babe it's alright... You don't have to hide."

He sighed after the silence grew heavier.

"Come out, please? I need you."

I've never really felt loved before, until I heard those three words... I need you.
