Chased Across the World
At Last
"Callie?" I asked, tears flooding my vision. She's here. She found me. I'm safe, I'm okay.
"Jazzy!" Callie shouted, rushing into my room. Her arms wrapped around my small body, pulling me to her tightly. I know she can tell I lost weight, a lot of weight. I didn't even have to see the frown on her face.
"You found me. Callie, you found me." I mumbled into her shoulder. She shushed me, rubbing my back in a soothing motion. I squeezed my eyes shut before pulling away to look at her.
"How did you do it?" I asked, knowing half the answer already.
"I followed you from the club. I got a little help outside in the hallway, but it was mostly me. Then I just picked the lock." She held up her pocket knife proudly and for once, I was actually glad for the reason she carried it with her. I still remember the night she told me about it. I shivered subconsciously. Don't think about it.
"Okay Jas, lets get out of here." Callie said, placing a hand on my back and pushing me toward the door. Then the path became blocked by none other than Harry. He came back, just like he said he would.
"Can I talk to her for a minute?" Harry asked Callie, already walking into the room. I watched her scowl and switch spots with Harry, muttering under her breath about if we even have that long. Oh, Cal how I've missed you. She stopped in the doorway. "Alone." Harry added, making her stop and look at me. I knew what she was asking. Is that okay? I nodded and she bit her lip, eventually trusting me and walked away.
"Harry." I stated, looking up at him. We were about a foot or two apart, but the gap between us felt like a million miles. Why is he so distant now? He took steps toward me, closing the distance until it was just a few inches. Oh boy...that's close.
"Before you go, I just have one question." He averted his eyes from mine.
"What is it?" I whispered, looking down at the ground.
"Do you have feelings for me at all?" He asked. He still wouldn't look at me.
Well, do I? I know that I get tiny butterflies whenever Im near him. When he's gone, I wonder how he's doing and if he's okay. I miss him when he leaves and actually smile when he's here. I must have somme sort of feelings for him then. That's the only way. I don't know what they are, but I know they're there.
"Yes." He sighed in relief and I fought the urge to hug him reassuringly. Who would have thought I'd wanted to hug someone who helped my kidnapper?
"I have feelings for you too." He muttered, finally looking into my eyes. My breath caught. "That's why you need to come with me, not Callie." WHAT?
"Harry?" I questioned.
"I can keep you safe. If you leave, they'll never stop hunting you. I can take you away from all this and protect you. The boys would come too."
"But...what about Callie? My family? I have a life here Harry. The police can protect me. I doubt that whoever it was would come back after me."
"You'd be surprised." He mumbled, taking hold of my hands. Wait, am I okay with that? His rough fingers rubbed over my soft ones, making my arms tingle. Okay, this is fine for now.
"Harry, no. I can't go with you. Just come with me and Callie, then we all can get out." He just shook his head.
"It's not that simple."
"What's not?"
"Just promise me one thing." He stated, staring at me intensely.
"What?"
"Leave here. And don't look back." He knows I can't do that. I can't just pack up and leave everything I've ever known. He must know that. But he'll never let me leave if I don't say okay. Maybe a little word play will help.
"Okay. I'll leave here and I won't look back." I promised, here being where I stand right now. I felt bad for kind of lying, but it needed to be done.
He nodded. "Now go." He said pushing me toward the door. As I walked out into the hall, I spared a last glance back at him. He was watching me leave, his eyes glossy. Oh Harry. And then I did one of the hardest things that I thought would be easy.
I walked away.
"Jazzy!" Callie shouted, rushing into my room. Her arms wrapped around my small body, pulling me to her tightly. I know she can tell I lost weight, a lot of weight. I didn't even have to see the frown on her face.
