Darcy

*Harry's P.O.V*

I entered the bakery to start a day of work and all the elderly ladies welcomed me like they usually do. Stephanie had been working the front counter like always.
"Harry"! I heard someone call for me in the back room. I went there to see my head boss.
"Hey Kate! What do you need"? I asked.
"Harry, you've worked almost everyday of winter break so far and you worked most days of the summer too", she said.
"Yeah, so"? I asked. Kate ran her fingers through her grayish brown hair.
"You work too much! You need a day off", she said.
"But I do it for the money", I said wiping flour off my apron.
"Harry, as your boss, I order you to go home and take today and tomorrow off. If I have to pay you to stay home, then I will", Kate said.
"Wow really"? I asked shocked. She was usually cranky but here she is paying me to go home and not work.
"Yup. And if you come back tomorrow, your fired", she said with a small smile like she was joking. In some weird way, I could feel her being serious.
"Okay thank you so much"! I said walking out of the back room. I smiled at Stephanie as I left the front door. I had to go home right away to hang out with Darcy for her birthday. I got in my car and drove. I thought about how tonight would turn out. All the boys and their kids and one of Darcy's friends was coming over. The cake I made her was huge and I'm pretty proud of it. I smiled and I thought about her gift that I had to pick up later. I got her a kitten, just like she's always wanted.
I pulled into the long driveway and then parked my car. I got our and started walking up the porch steps. I heard someone yelling inside. I also heard loud crying. The closer I got to the door, the louder it would all get. What was going on? I opened the door slowly and shut it quietly. It was coming from the kitchen. I ran into the kitchen to see Darcy lying on the ground with Chloe stabbing a knife into her stomach.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE"!?!?! I yelled running over to Darcy and pushing Chloe out of my way. I grabbed the knife and pulled it out making her twitch a little.
"Darcy! Darcy baby are you okay"! I asked as tears ran down my face.
"Hey bitch! Why don't you make yourself useful and go get some bandages"! I screamed at Chloe. She sat there quietly.
"Darcy! Can you hear me"? I asked panicking. She didn't say anything but her eyes had been somewhat open.
"Chloe! Why the hell would you do this"!? I yelled.
"Because! I hate that fucking bitch since the day I met her! I hope she dies"! She said standing up.
"You are absolutely heartless"! I said taking off my ring.
"Put that ring back on", she said as her eyes widened. I got up quickly, went over to the slider door, and through it in the snow. I shut the door and ran back over to Darcy.
"Shut up and go get me the bandages"! I yelled as my tears started falling harder. She still just stood there. Darcy's eyes slowly started to close. I didn't have time to deal with Chloe being stubborn. My baby girl, was sitting here dying. I picked Darcy up carefully and ran out of the kitchen, out of the house, and to my car. Darcy's eyes started opening a bit more.
"Darcy, can you hear me"? I asked starting the car. I turned around to the back to see her laying on her back on the seat.
"Yes", she said quietly and weakly. I cried and cried the entire drive. Did I hope she was going to make it? Of course! Was she going to make it? Probably not.
