I'm in Love With a Criminal // H.E.S

Chapter 21:

Once Harry walked out of view, I quickly pulled on my handcuff, trying desperately to get my wrist free.

I squeezed my eyes shut in pain and put all of my weight on the handcuff, I screamed quietly through clenched teeth and tears blurred my vision, I need to get out of here.

"Break!" I cried, I began vigorously pulling my wrist away from the metal but it wasn't breaking like I hoped it would, "help!" I screamed at the window.

I swung my feet up on the dashboard and began to kick the blacked out windows, "someone help me" I screamed loudly.

Tears rolled down my face when I knew no one was going to come for me, the parking lott was isolated and the windows were blacked out.

I was invisible.

I took deep breaths to calm my cries, "you can do this" I whispered to myself. I closed my eyes and held onto my wrist with my free hand, I quickly pulled down on the metal and let out a small whimper when I felt the metal slicing through my wrist.

"Someone help!" I screamed at the top of my voice, more tears rolled down my face and I leant back in the seat.

My eyes flicked to my wrists and my mouth fell ajar when I noticed blood running down my arm, "oh my god" I gasped.

Harry is going to know I've tried to escape.

I attempted to break the windows again but nothing happened, it only made shooting pains strike up my leg.

Minutes of kicking and screaming went, that's when my wrist flew forwards. I looked at the handcuff in disbelief, it was broken.

I let out a cry of joy and say up straight, I quickly pressed the unlock button on the control panel and the smiled when the sound of the doors unlocking filled my ears.

"Thank you" I cried, I pulled the door handle and the door flew open. I didn't hesitate to jump out of the tall range rover.

The cold air instantly bit at my skin, making me shiver. I looked around for the man who I feared the most, he wasn't in sight.

Without another thought, I sprinted away from the vehicle. My vision went blurry from both tears of joy but also tears of fear, what if he catches me?

I pushed all of the regret to the back of my head an focused on one thing, getting as far away as possible.

The entrance of the supermarket that Harry was currently in came into view, I stared at the automatic doors debating whether or not I should go in and get help or just run.

I shook my head and started sprinting again, I frantically looked around for someone to help me but this place was empty, I stopped and ran my fingers through my hair, still searching for anyone.

A loud sigh left my lips, I tugged at my hair in distress. I didn't know where to go, I'm in New York for goodness sake.

I set off again, running towards what looked like a small village. I smiled when I saw two cottages, I was going to be free.

My feet ran as fast as they could towards the stone house, I knocked on the oak door and bounced on my feet in both excitement and fear.

I furrowed my eyebrows and knocked again after a minute of no answer, another minute passed and my breathing because heavy.

I quickly ran towards the other cottage an knocked on the door, I counted the second in my head.

75 seconds had passed and no answer.

I let out a small whimper and took a few steps away from the door, what am I going to do now? No one was here.

I wiped away the built up tears and took a few deep breaths trying to calm my nerves, I peered around the corner where the supermarket was in the distance.

Harry's car was still there, I squinted my eyes and saw a tall figure walking out between the automatic doors.

My breathing began to speed up again when I saw the dark coloured curls pushed back behind a bandana, his hands were full of shopping bags but a deep red flower caught my eye. A rose.

I watched him as he quickly jogged over to the car, the bottom of his trench coat flying out behind him, the lights flashed indicating that he had unlocked the vehicle.

He's going to find me. He's going to kill me.

His eyebrows narrowed as he poked his head in the car, his facial features became angry but panic was also evident.

He lifted his was up and looked around, I instantly hid behind the wall and closed my eyes.

A loud slam of a door filled the silent air and not so later, tires screeched. Again, I peered around the corner. His car sped off in a different direction and I let out a loud sigh of relief.

I walked out into the road again and held my coat close to my body, it was freezing. I looked ahead and saw nothing but an empty road, no cars, no evidence of actual life. Just concrete.

"There's got to be something at the end" I mumbled to myself, I sighed and followed the lane. I'll find someone soon.

A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the extremely late update, I had to work loads so I'm so sorry about that. Anyway, here it is. A lot of you messaged me telling me that you wanted Melanie to escape in this chapter, your dreams have came true! Love you lots.
