I Understand. An AU/punk story.

Niall screams for me to stop but I charge after him, knowing full well that I am about to jump off a roof top. When I get closer to the edge I spot the masked man falling and rolling on to the other roof.

If he can make it. So can I.

Three lunges later and my right foot lands on the ledge and with an almighty push I soar over the opening between the two buildings.

HOLy ShiTT HollYY sHItt!!!

With in two mili seconds I squeeze my eyes and tuck slightly as I land on the other roof.

Grunting as my shoulder skids the gravely cement.

"Harry you crazy mother fucker!" Ni screams/shouts from far behind me.

Getting up I am about to continue my advance until my gaze fixes forward.

There he stands on the edge of the same building, his silver gun pointed at me. Without warning he fires. I freeze. I hear the commotion of the other guys joining Niall on the roof behind me. I take note of the fact he shot the ground just left of my foot. He missed on purpose; warning me to stay put.

With out warning he turns and drops.

"FUCK!" I yell. God damn it. I almost had him. I was so fucking close.

And now?

Her attacker, who we didn't identify, who is trying to kill her, is lose.

Fuck!

My hands rip at my own hair as I turn and find the guys motioning me to meet them on the street. Anger ripples through me as I walk around the building and find the fire escape, stomping down it before meeting them at the entrance of the parking garage.

"Harry, what the fuck is wrong with you!?" Niall shouts, coming up to me only to shove my shoulders back harshly. "You could have fucking died you idiot!" he is god damn pissed.

"I had to catch him! That fucking freak is now on the lose. Lily is going to lose it when she figures out!" Speaking of which. A sick feeling enters my stomach when I think of what she just went through. I needed to get to her. "I'm sorry man, but we have to go."

He shakes his head and scowls at the cement before turning and stomping towards his mustang.

Lilian's POV

I was carried in to someones car, it squeals off the cement and speeds off somewhere. Zayn holds me close in the backseat, he keeps telling me to open my eyes but I'm just not in the mood to do that. I'm too tired and sore. I just want to sleep. He continually wipes the liquid off of my eyelids and mouth.

Sooner or later we end up at the destination.

"We're here, L. Just hold on a little bit longer." Zayn pleads as I feel him pick me up one more time to carry me out of the car. Everything aches. Especially in between my legs. I just wanted to sleep. Just escape the fact that this ever happened to me. I hear gasp after he carries me a ways.

"We need help. Please, she was attacked." Liam yells. I hear sneakers and someone calling for doctors. I'm laid on a soft padded bed and my eyes open to see my being wheeled away on a gurney by strangers and Liam and Zayn looking at me go, a few nurses telling them to wait here.

"Hold on, little lady. You've been so strong. You can rest now." I look up and find a man in a white lab coat. His hair is black and slicked back to his head. He's handsome and he pities the terrible that is me. I don't blame him. I pity me too. I find myself smile before I finally am able to fall asleep.

-----

It's god damn annoying. It just keeps beeping. And right in my ear. What the fuck. Can they not see I am trying to sleep? Groaning and opening my eyes I find myself looking at a white paneled ceiling. White walls, white floors. Where the hell am I?

The beeping continues; turning I find a heart monitor. Beeping away annoyingly. I follow the wires, all attached to me, under my skin and taped on my chest. My head feels slightly blurred and I can tell I'm under the influence of some type of medication. There is a slight fray of pain blurring my body but it's hardly noticeable.

"H-hello?" My voice sounds like shit and I bet I look like shit too. The curtains are drawn and the door is closed as well as another door in my room. I was alone. Why.. "Hello?" I yell a little louder.

The second door, a bathroom I'm thinking, flies open and Harry appear behind it.

Tears flood my eyes with in three seconds and I'm blinking them away as he rushed to me.

"Oh, Lilian. It's ok. I'm here." He whispers, discontinuing the space between us, sitting on the edge of my bed, taking my hands. The memories flood back quickly and I have to blink them away. Panic rises in my chest and I quickly attempt to sit up.

"What happened?" I cry, trying even harder to sit up as his hands gently take my shoulders and push me back down. "I was attacked!" I shriek, clawing at his wrists.

"Shh, shh, L. I know you were. You're safe now." His face is sad and he gives up on trying to push me down and instead pulls me up and in to his chest, hugging me tight to him. My body is shaking and to say i'm scared is an understatement. Wrapping my arms around his waist he buries his face in to my neck. And mine in to his chest. The pain ripples a little stronger at the sharp movements but I ignore it.

"I heard a noise, I came out of the shower and - and .." I sob.

"I know. I know. I'm so sorry, Lilian. I am so sorry.' He rocks us back and forth, laying his chin on the top of my head.

I cry for a while. And he holds me. Telling me it's ok. But it's not ok. It's really not ok at all. And anyone who thought otherwise was ridiculous. Him telling me it was ok was ridiculous.

"Lilian, theres more.." He says softly in to my hair after I finally stop crying.

Great.

"W-what?"

"He got away, Lilian. I don't know who it was and he got away."

I am frozen for a second and he lets me go to look at me but moves his hand to cup my cheek.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"


"I chased him five blocks! I jumped off a roof, I mean I even -"

"YOU WHAT?!" I Shriek. What the hell is he talking about?

"I mean he shot at me so I couldn't exactly do it again but I -"

"HARRY!' Appalled with these words I cover my ears and shake my head, I am not hearing this. I am simply not.

"I'm fine!''

"ARE YOU STUPID?!"

A knock snaps us out of our fight.

"I hope I'm not interrupting, I hear our little trooper was awake. I just wanted to talk with her." Harry grows rigid as the handsome, black haired, doctor strolls in confidently. "I'm doctor Malachi."

Ohh.

Notes

so i made a miistakke the only one chasing the guy with Harry was Louis and Niall. Zayn and Liam brought her in. Remember? Sowy
