Two hours had passed and the only sound I could hear came from my computer, occasionally playing annoying commercials that popped up out of no where.

Veronica was fast asleep on her bed without a care in the world. There was complete and utter silence until I heard something downstairs fall with a loud bang. I got off of my computer and tried to wake Veronica up. "Let me sleep Melissa." she whined.

"I heard something downstairs. Can you come with me to see what it was?"

"No, go away." She moaned, waving her hand, trying to get me away from her.

I sighed and being the idiot that I was, I decided on proceeding to inspect whatever it was that made the noise. I took the first step out of our room. It was completely dark, other than the portion of moonlight that was coming from the window at the end of the hall. I proceeded to my left to find the light switch. My hands roamed the walls until they felt the familiar switch. Flipping it on, the light bulb above me flickered on.

Booming was heard and a flash of light appeared through the window, making the shadows of trees appear on the light brown colored walls in the narrow hallway. The light started flickering and in one fell swoop, I was engulfed in darkness.

I groan internally, scolding my luck. Once again, I lifted my hands to search for the nearby closet that contained a few flashlights. The instant I come in contact with the door nob, I twist it, making the hinges creak whilst opening the door. Quickly grabbing a flashlight, I switch it on, not being very fond of the darkness surrounding me. I search for a weapon inside the closet and soon enough, I find a bat. Veronica had bought it one day, insisting that it might come to use if something ever happened.

I start making my way towards the staircase, occasionally shining my flashlight from left to right. As I reach the staircase, I shine my flashlight down the flight of stairs, getting a glimpse of a shadow moving quickly by the bottom of the stairs.

Gripping the bat tightly, I take my first step down the stairs, making the wooden step beneath me creak. I advance down the staircase slowly, moving the flashlight swiftly around me. As I arrive at the last step, I spot the picture of my boyfriend and I on the floor, the glass from it shattered. I glide over to where it is, pick the frame up and place it back on the table. As I turn around, I nearly faint of panic.

"You scared the hell out of me!" I scold my beloved best friend.

"I just came downstairs to get myself some cranberry juice." She replied, making her way into the kitchen, completely disregarding how startled she made me.

"Jesus Christ! You know I could of hit you with the bat and knocked your brains out!"

"Oh, you know you wouldn't have. And if you did, then it's simple, I would've just ducked. " She replied sauntering out of the kitchen smiling, with her glass of cranberry juice in hand.

She goes back upstairs after helping me clean the shattered glass up. Before I follow her, I go to verify that the front door is locked and make my way to the bathroom, having the urge to urinate.

When I exit the bathroom, a hand covers my mouth and I'm pulled into a hard chest. I would've thought it was Veronica, but their hand was far too rough to be her's.

I tried screaming for help, but it was no use. My screams came out muffled. The person behind me whispered in my ear, "Don't even try to scream, love. If you dare scream, you'll have to face the consequences." I nodded, anticipating for whoever was covering my mouth to remove their hand. I tried fighting the tears that were threatening to spill any second, but I knew I had to remain strong. Whoever this is can't think that I'm becoming weak.

He removed his hand from my mouth and I immediately screamed for Veronica to help me, only to be pushed back into a wall harshly. All this time I kept my eyes closed. "I told you not to scream!" He roared. I whimpered trying ever so hard to get out of his grip, but he wouldn't budge, not even a little. I heard footsteps rushing downstairs, "What's going on Melissa?!... Shit!" she gasps, after seeing the situation I was in.

"Call the police!" I shriek in her direction.

"No! Zayn, stop her!" He yelled and in an instant Veronica was pinned to the wall as I was, also struggling to fight back.

He just stood there, having me pinned to the wall with his body. I opened my eyes and nearly regretted it. I'd recognize those beautiful green eyes anywhere. No this can't be happening. He came.

"W-What do you want from me Harry. What are you doing here?" I asked, letting a few tears escape. He inches closer to my ear. I felt his hot breath on my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"I want you Melissa, I want you to be mine again," and with that, he placed his lips on mine.
