Vendetta

Chapter 7

When I pulled into the driveway Harry had a concerned look on his face. "Wait here, don't leave," I chose to ignore it and I did exactly what Harry asked.

I watched Harry walk to the front door, there was one other car here. Soon I heard yelling coming from inside. Without thinking I jumped out of my car and ran into the house.

I saw Harry on top of a tall, blonde guy. He looked familiar but I forgot where I've seen him before. I screamed, "Harry, get off!" He stopped hitting him and the guy ran out of the house.

"I told you to stay in the car, was that too much to ask," I could hear the anger in his voice. My throat tingled as I tried to speak but I had nothing to say, then finally I thought of something.

"Who was that?" Harry grew even more pissed by my questioning. I sighed and began to walk to my car. Harry was trouble and I didn't want to deal with him.

I got in my car and drove to Lou's house to pick up laundry and take it to the wash. When I was pulling into the neighborhood a police pulled in behind me, passing me and soon disappeared. I got a feeling in my gut that things were not right. I sped through the houses and finally stopped at mine. As I looked around it got worse at every corner.

"What happened?" I asked an officer who was questioning the lady two doors down.

"Ma'am, unless you are a relative or a witness I'm going to have to ask you to leave. My heart sunk in my chest. Something was very wrong.

"I'm her granddaughter," The officer stopped questioning the lady and took his hat off.

"Come with me," he put one hand behind my back and guided me to a police car. He sat me in the passenger side and walked around to get in the drivers side.

"Where are we going?" I was scared. My mind was racing and all I could think about was Lou and her safety.

"We are going to the hospital where I will explain everything, right now just relax." The officer had a warm tone in his voice. Hospital? I tried to fight the tears that were demanding to fall from my eyes. I can't loose my Lou.

We arrived to the hospital where the officer used his badge to pass a few doctors. We soon entered the trauma hall. He walked up to a door with two wide glass windows. I stood there in shock. Tears started to roll down my cheeks as I saw a lifeless Lou sleeping in a hospital bed. "I'm real sorry ma'am, would you want to come sit with me and discuss everything?" The officer asked.

"Yes," I almost whispered. He opened a door that lead to a small break room with vending machines.

"Would you like a drink?" The officer asked whole fixing himself a cup of black coffee. I shook my head no and just starred at the floor. What happened.

"Can you tell me what this is about now?" Sounding a little more harsh then I intended. The officer once again took off his hat and sat it on the table.

"Well we got a 911 call from your grandmothers house, no one said anything but it is still our job to check out the scene." I nodded to show that I was listening to what he was telling me. "Well when our officers arrived they knocked on the door but no one answered so we kicked the door in, thats when we saw her laying on the floor. We called for backup and an ambulance to the scene because she wasn't breathing. Now, you're probably wondering who and why, well your neighbors told us they saw two men entering through the back door and soon run out of the front, they stabbed your grandmother 3 times, we suspect it was a robbery gone wrong." Tears fell from my eyes as the officer continued to ask me who would do this. Lou had no enemies and was the sweetest lady you would ever meet.

After an hour at the hospital I went home, I couldn't sleep there because it was considered a crime scene and they were still investigating. I packed up a weeks worth of clothes and cot in my car and called Bella. "Hey, I need to stay over tonight, long story." Bella had Zayn over and didn't want me interrupting their night. I didn't want to tell her about Lou, that would just ruin her night.

   I couldn't think of anyone else to stay with so I drove to a park. I sat in my car and screamed at the top of my lungs. I felt empty. I was slowly loosing everyone in my life. I was about to drive off when my phone started ringing.

"Hello?" My throat was hoarse and I choked up from crying.

"You busy? I want to apologize for acting like a dick earlier." Great. It was Harry. I wasn't busy and I could use someone to talk to. Although I had mixed emotions towards him at the moment I could use a friend right now. We agreed to meet at the park I was already at so I sat there crying until I saw his headlights shine through my car.

"Abbie are you alright?" He walked over to my car and opened my door for me. I gave him a hug. It startled him and took him a while to understand what I was doing, but once he realized, he took me in his arms.

"It's my grandmother, Lou. Someone broke into our home and stabbed her, now she is in intensive care." I said, not once leaving his embrace.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry Abbie," he brushed my hair out of my face and put it behind my ear. Something about the contact made me feel warm inside. I hated it.

"Now I can't go home because they told me it was an active crime scene and thought it wasn't safe, and they are still investigating," I leaned on the side of my car door. Harry took out his phone and began typing.

"You're staying with me tonight," I shook my head. No. I can't stay with Harry, things were too confusing and that would just complicate everything.

"I can't, where would I sleep, what would the other boys think, I couldn't ask you to do that." I spoke. Harry was only doing it because he felt bad. I didn't want pity.

"Well you would sleep on my bed, me on the floor, the guys won't say anything because they don't care, and you didn't ask. I offered." A smile formed on my face knowing what I was about to get myself into. A part of me didn't care. I had an exhausting day and wanted to go to bed.

I pulled in behind Harry at the house I had been inside more times than I'd care to admit. I got my bag and walked in behind Harry. When I walked into his room the atmosphere changed. He had a bookshelf lined with books, his bedsheets were a silk black, and despite the house being a disaster, his room was neat and organized. I sat on the very large bed and spread my arms taking in the coldness of the sheets. Harry took of his shirt and walked into the bathroom that was connected to his bedroom. He shut the door behind him, leaving me alone.

As I laid on the bed I thought of everything that happened today and shit my eyes. Soon enough I found myself in a deep slumber.

Harry' POV

I walked out of the shower and into my room when I saw Abbie sleeping peacefully. I grabbed sheets and large blankets out of the closet to make myself a pallet on the floor, Abbie started to toss and turn in her sleep. I ignored it and turned off the bathroom lights, leaving nothing but a salt lamp on my bookshelf on.

I woke up to Abbie screaming. "NO!" I heard her shout. She was having a nightmare. I gently shook her and she bolted up. She looked so frightened but I took her in my arms to show her nothing was going to hurt her. I wanted those guys to pay for what they did to my Abbie. Did I just refer to her as 'my Abby'

I shook the thought from my head and got up to get back onto the floor. "Please stay," Abbie was looking right at me. She was awake. She opened the blankets and made room for me in my bed.

I had no clue what I was getting into. I felt something for Abbie and that was never good. I've only ever ruined all my relationships. I prayed Abbie would be different. Maybe she could love me and I could love her. What are you thinking? You're only friends and you have already fucked up your trust she had in you! I thought to myself. Maybe we would only just be friends. I didn't care, as long as if she was in my life.

She laid her head on my chest and I took in the scent of her hair. God she smelled like heaven. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep of my own.
