Forgotten Love

eleven

The next two weeks me and Harrison keep our relationship on the downlow and just enjoy spending time together. I spend the full Friday night at Mr and Mrs M's house after work as Harrison's uncle Tom was coming into town. I was having the the best day with him and his parents at their large house, until I try find the bathroom but walk into the wrong room and I'm left shocked. I walk into a dark room and turn the light on to see two men tied up to chairs and their mouths covered. I shake my head in panic and horror before quickly closing the door behind me.

I walk into another room and take a deep breath in relief when it's the bathroom. I look in the mirror and shake my head. "What the fuck?!" I wash my face and try get the image of the badly beaten men out my head. I look over and see the bathroom door open. "I'm in here!" An older man smirks as he enters. "And who may you be?" I raise my eyebrow confused as he closes the door behind him. "What?" He locks the door and walks towards me. "You heard." He pulls a gun out and I freeze. "Why the fuck are you snooping through the house?!" I freeze and hold my hands up as he points the gun at me. "I was looking for the bathroom?" I hear someone knock on the door and I look at the handle as it moves. "April?" I look at the man and take a deep breath. "Harrison help!" The man rolls his eyes still holding the gun at me as the bathroom door gets kicked in.

Harrison looks at the man with anger. "What the fuck are you doing?!" He takes the gun from him and shoves him. "She was looking around and entered a room she shouldn't have seen." Harrison nods towards the door. "Leave, now!" The man walks away and scoffs. "Whatever." I look at Harrison still in panic and he notices I am still freaked out. He walks towards me and wraps his arms around me. "It's ok." He kisses my forehead and squeezes me. "Just breath." I breath in and out before cuddling him. I shake my head and look towards the door. "Who was that?" He rolls his eyes and takes my hand. "My uncle Tom's friend." I look towards the hallway. "What are they doing?" He shrugs and squeezes my hand. "I'm not sure." He kisses my hand and smiles softly. "I have always stayed out my uncle Toms business." He nods towards the door. "Let's go." I stay put and shake my head. "Harrison? They have two men TIED up?!" He looks out he hallway and scoffs. "What?" He looks at me and his face drops. "Are you serious?" I nod agreeing and his face turns angry. "I will kill him!" He runs off before I could stop him.

As I run after Harrison I hear shouting and I look towards the kitchen and see Harrison grabbing his uncle's neck and pinning him against the wall. I shake my head and look around at everyone looking at me. "I am so sorry!" I grab my bag and quickly run out the door without looking back.

When I get back at the house I see all the lights out and realise I left my keys in Harrison's house. I take a deep breath and start walking around back. As I attempt to open my bedroom window I take a deep breath as I push and it finally opens. I smirk and fling my bag inside before climbing in myself.

I get changed into one of Harrison's jerseys and my shorts before getting into bed. I smirk at the time and nod firmly. "Still watch a few episodes and get my 8 hours sleep." I light a candle and turn the TV on. As I stick Netflix on I get comfortable but within minutes I fall asleep.

Harrison drives up to the house and see's Jen outside. He shakes his head and looks towards the house as the door is lying wide open. Jen looks at the car and shrugs. "Where's April?" Harrison laughs nervously. "She came home?" Jen's face drops and she looks towards the house. "What?" She runs towards it and Harrison follows. "What?" The house front door blows off with an explosion and a fire breaks out badly. "Something set on fire." She looks at him and shakes her head. "I thought she was at yours?!" A fire engine drives towards them but Harrison runs inside.

I wake up with the smell of smoke and realise my blinds are on fire. I quickly get up from bed and run towards the bedroom door. As I pull it I realise it's locked from the outside. "Fuck!" I bang on it hard and scream as loud as I can. "Jen!?" As I look towards the fire which is spreading fast I grab my jumper and cover my nose and mouth. Still attempting to bang on the door I look around for something to kick it in. A small bang comes from the window and it smashes the glass. I look towards the blanket on my floor and take a deep breath. "Fuck it!" I pick it up and wrap it around me. "Here goes." I hold it tightly and dive headfirst out my already broken window before hitting the ground and going unconscious.
