My Decisions
Chapter 9 -Harry's Flat-
~Lizz’s P.O.V~
“Lizz.... Lizz.... Wake up sleepy head” I woke up to Harry shaking me lightly. I stretched and looked around “Hmmm?”. “We’re at my flat Lizz” he said chuckling and grabbing my bag. I reached for him “Carry me??” I say in the most innocent voice I can muster, smiling brightly at him. He rolls his eyes at me and scoops me up out of the car, carrying me bridal style toward the front of his flat.
We almost get to the door when I hear a camera click and I see a flash. “Crap” I hear Harry mutter as I shield my face from the cameras. Like I normally do. Most everyone knows me as Liam’s best friend and they know that the guys take care of me sometimes, but that doesn’t mean I have to like the lime light. If anything I really hate cameras following me. I honestly don’t know how the guys and Dani, Ele, and Perrie deal with it.
I hear the door open and close, telling me I can now stop hiding, and I immediately start laughing my butt off. This gets Harry to start grinning and laughing at me while I squirm to get out of his grip so he will put me down. Which works and he drops my feet, making sure I don’t fall on my butt. I take my bag from him and run to his living room, dropping my bag on the way and jumping onto the orange couch. “Hazzzzzz!!!!” I yell and I hear the fridge close. I figured he went into the kitchen. “Yessss?” He comes in holding two cans of Coke, plopping onto the recliner. “Can we build a fort?” I ask jumping up and down like a four year old. All he does is roll his eyes and try not to laugh “but that is too much work Lizzy”. “But, I wanna build a fort!!” I pout, running to his closet and starting to gather blankets and pillows. I throw them at him before I start getting the cushions off the couch. “Lizzy! Come on no!” he yells. But this doesn’t stop me. I go into the next room and start to grab some chairs before Harry gives up and starts to help me.
Half an Hour Later
“Yay!!” I yell as we finish the fort and I jump into the opening onto the soft comforter that I use when I come over here. Harry pops his head into the opening of the fort. “Want me to get us the junk-food while you put in the movie?”. I start to climb out and walk over to my bag to get the movie as Harry walks by me, playfully pushing me a little, in order to go into the kitchen. I giggle and stick the movie in the BluRay player, then wait for Harry to come back.
I can remember the first time I met Harry. I remember when I met all the guys actually. Liam made sure that they met me and knew I would be around a lot. Harry was the one I got close to first. He acted just Liam did, like I was their younger sister. Well now all of them act like that but its mostly Liam and Harry. They all have always protected me. I remember Zayn and Louis yelling at fans to stop saying mean things too me. Heck, if Harry wouldn’t have been there tonight I don’t know where I would be right now. “Lets get this party started!” Harry yells interrupting my thoughts. I smile at him. “Pass me the Coke” I say laughing.
After the Movie
I jump as Harry shakes me awake. I look at the screen and its rolling credits. I must have fallen asleep. “Come on Lizzy. You can sleep in my bed” He says picking up in the blanket and heading towards the stairs. I snuggle close to him as he starts to walk up the stairs and into his room. He sets me gently in the covers of the bed, turning off the small table side light and kissing my fore head before beginning to walk away when I realize I don’t want him to leave. “Harry...” I say weakly when he opens the door. “Yes Lizzy?” He asks sleepily. “Will you stay in here with me...Im still scared” I trail off but I still look at him. He smiles and walks back in the room. Taking his shirt off and comes over to the bed. I scoot over so he can get in and turn on my side away from him. He gets settled and pulls me closer to him and drapes an arm around me “Goodnight Lizzy” he whispers. “Goodnight Hazza..” with that I fell asleep in Harry’s arms.
The Next Morning
~Harry’s P.O.V~
Waking up and seeing Lizz laying right beside me was probably one of the most amazing sight in my life. It just made me smile, until I heard the door bell ring and looked at the time. 11:30 Great. I hear the door again. That’s probably Liam. I slowly get up, making sure not to wake Lizz and head down to answer the door.
“Will you quiet down. Lizz is still asleep.” I say as I open the door to a smiling Liam. “Sorry mate! But no one was answering. Where is she?” I step aside as he comes in and goes to sit at the bar in the kitchen. “She’s upstairs in my room. She had one rough night last night mate. I heard her yelling about twice last night. Scared me to death so much that I ended up sleeping in the chair in my room just to make sure she wasn’t gonna have no more nightmares.” I say tossing him a can of Coke. I would tell him the truth but I’m pretty sure he’d go all protective older brother on me. “Thanks mate” he says smiling “What the hell was her boyfriend doing throwing glass at her?”. “I have no clue. But I wasn’t leaving her there to have him attack her again.” I began to tense up again.
“I know mate. I don’t want her there by herself while that twit is able to still get into her flat” Liam agrees “I think I’m gonna get her to stay at my flat until she gets the locks changed and gets a security system.”. I shake my head “You know she wont get a security system Li. She claims she don’t have enough money. Even though you give her what $2,000 a week?” I ask. “Yea. Her parents asked me to take care of her. That’s what I’m doing. She doesn’t really like it that much though. She likes to work for her money. Only problem is, is that she lost her job last week.” Li says sadly. “What? She never told me. What happened to the bakery?” I ask. “Went out of business sadly. She loved that job too.”. “That’s too bad” I say shaking my head again.
I look at the stairs as a sleepy Lizz walks down towards Liam and wraps her arms around him. “Good morning everyone” she says yawning into Liam’s shoulder. “Good morning Lizziebell. I heard you had a rough night last night. Why did Kyle do that??” Liam asks as Lizz jumps onto the counter. “I don’t know Li. I’ve never seen him like that” she looked down at her legs “he really scared me Li. I smelt cigarettes and alcohol in his breath. I don’t know if it was because he was drinking or if that was a side of him I’ve never seen.”. Now I really wanted to hurt him.
“Well Lizziebell, your gonna come live with me for a little while, while we get your locks changed and get a security system installed in your flat-” Liam says before she interupts. “No Liam, I don’t want to bring you into this. And I don’t have the money for a security system”. She is totally predictable. “I’ll pay for it Lizzy” I say and she quickly shuts it down “No haz. You’re not gonna-” “You don’t have a choice in this Lizz. I am doing this and it’s going to happen” I know it sounded harsh but it’s the only way that I’m going to get her to let me do it. “Fine” she pouts.
“Come on Lizziebell. We got to go get your stuff from your flat.” Liam says as he heads towards the door. Lizz stops in front of me after grabbing her bag “Thank you so much Hazza. For everything” She hugs me tightly and I return the favor, resting my head on hers “Anytime Lizzy. Anytime. Call me if you need me. Alright?” I say as she lets go and nods. I wave to them as the get in the car and drive off. That was one hell of a night.
~Lizz’s P.O.V~
“Liam? Can we get Star Bucks before we go?” I ask him as we finish putting the rest of my stuff into his car. Liam smiles “of course Lizziebell. Lets go” he puts his arm around my shoulder and we walk down to the Star Bucks at the end of the street when I see a pair of people. Liam spots them too. “Lizziebell....” He trails off. But I’m not even paying attention to him. I gasp trying to hold back the tears and run back towards my flat with Liam trailing me.
“Lizz.... Lizz.... Wake up sleepy head” I woke up to Harry shaking me lightly. I stretched and looked around “Hmmm?”. “We’re at my flat Lizz” he said chuckling and grabbing my bag.
