I Understand. An AU/punk story.

(Martin's character picture is up)


I spin as fast as possible around, so they can't see my face as they sit at the table right behind ours.

"What?" Martin, panics, looking around.

"Shhhh!" I shush him and lean my head in my hand, trying to muddle my voice. "Those guys, behind us.... Be discreet." I mumble. His huge blue eyes fly over my head and then he leans forward in his chair too. Panic in his face... he knows them...

"I need to get the fuck out of here." He hushes, trying to hide him self with his hands, the boys behind me keep laughing, not noticing us.

"So do I!" I start freaking out, I need to get Harry. I need help, they'll take me if they see me. "Martin! What do we do?!" I shriek, the true fear taking over my voice. He looks around...

"We have to make a run for it!" He whispers...

"That's a terrible idea!" I hiss "They'll know its us!" I formulate everything in my mind... think think think. We can't just sit here, they'll notice us eventually. "They don't know I have purple hair!!! OK, here's what we do.. I'll get up you scratch your nose, hide your face, and walk at an angle form me so they can't see you, I'll put my hat back on." I whisper urgently, pulling it out.

"Yo, Max, check her out." One of the guys laughs, pointing to a pretty girl walking past our table.

"Now." I hiss, I stand up slowly, put my beanie on, Martin gets up and rubs his eyes, keeping his face down. I turn and my eyes can't help but fall on Jake, horror coming back in to me, remembering the night he attacked me all that time ago....

Martin stands behind me a foot, I quickly lift my eyes as Jake looks up at us, I turn my head to Martin, pretending to be talking as we are now right in front of their table.

"Hey, baby!" One of them wolf whistles, a few turn their chairs to catch a look at us. Panic arises in me. Jake looks back at me, squinting his eyes, we start speed walking.

"Wait...." Jake says suddenly, Martin's hand finds the small of my back, pushing me forward. "Thats Harry's girl!" I scream as all of their chairs fly backwards, clambering on to the ground. Chasing us down.

"RUN LILY!'' Martin yells, taking my wrist he rips me behind him, zipping out of the mall cafeteria and out in to the very crowded shopping section. Little does he know I'm wearing Nikes and have been training to run for my entire life, I surpass him in a minute and start pulling him. The guys chase after us, we run like crazy as people part out of the way for us.

Then I bump in to some stupid man in my way, I fall to my knees and my purse spills, as well as my wallet and cell phone. I try to get up but a sharp pain runs up my right leg. Fuck. Martin runs to my side, grabbing my elbow he pulls me up.

A gang member catches up to us, yelling every profanity he must know. Martin lets me go for a minute to arm bar the dick face. Holy shit. Did not see that coming...... He gives him a good kick in the ribs and returns to me, helping me up. People part and start screaming at the fight ensuing.

"Hide, Lily! He hisses, pointing towards a darker corner between two stores, a huge potted plant sits in front of it. I look back to the gang and see them looking around like idiots, they lost us. "Go!" He urges again, pushing me. I hobble over there, pain shooting in to my right knee. I collapse next to the plant, peering around it I see Martin scoop up my phone and make a run for it as the gang chases him down.

Fucking. Shit.

Martin's P.O.V.

I dash down the hall, taking a sharp right in to Hollister I make a bee line for the changing rooms, closing the door,and locking one. Even if they had followed me in here they still wouldn't find me in here. I slide to the floor and pull out her cell phone.... I hope shes OK.

I go through the contacts. I scroll until I find Harry<3

Anxiety washed over me.. I couldn't call him for help. Little to Lily's knowledge he would in fact recognize me... I keep scrolling until I find Louis>:(

I actually fucking knew this one! He had tried to recruit me in to his gang a few weeks ago, we were good friends. How did she know him? I quickly dial the number.

"Lily?" He answers on the first ring.

"No, it's Martin... I know this is weird, But Lily's in danger.

"Where are you?"

Lily's P.O.V.

I huddle there for quite some time, huffing, trying to calm myself, my knee hurt like a bitch from the fall. I mad one attempt to leave my hiding spot but as soon as I did one of the gang members walked right in front of me, forcing me to jump back.

What was I going to do?!

I sat there for a good thirty minutes but Martin never returned. Hysteria crept in to me. What if he had been caught? What if they were hurting him right now?!

"No, back there!" Martin's voice finally says, snapping me out of my terrible thoughts. Feet run towards me, I jump up and run smack dab in to Louis.

I haven't seen him so long, Pain streaks, and my emotions overwhelm me.

"Oh my god, L!" Louis shouts, instantly crushing me to his toned chest. Of course I start crying. "Are you OK? Did they hurt you?!" He holds me back and takes a god look at me.
"I- I'm fine. I was J- just scared!" I mumble. My eyes fly to Martin.

Martin's P.O.V.

She looks at me and limps over, dropping her head on me, wrapping her arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around her, welcoming her touch.

Her hair brushes my face and her small body tries to catch her breath. I squeeze her tight, loving the feeling of her on me.

"It's alright. Just relax." I hush to her.

The things she did to me, man..... Dang, I don't even know...

Lily's P.O.V.

"C'mon, love birds, lets get going. We best call Harry." Lou grumbles, pulling me off Martin he puts an arm around my waist, helping me balance.

"Oh, shit... here." Martin says, handing my phone which is blowing up

I dial in his number while we take a seat on a bench. He answers on the first ring.

"Hello? Lilian?!"

"H-Harry?" I stammer.

"Oh my gosh, baby where are you? Whats wrong.."

"Harry, It's J-Jake...."
