Unexpected
Chapter Seventeen - Just a Dream
(Anna's POV)
"Anna!" He's shaking me, trying to get me to open my eyes but I don't want to look at him. I can't. "Anna wake up!" His voice is the last thing I want to hear right now, after what he did to Ezra and his face is the last thing I want to see, there is no way I'm 'waking up' for him "Anna please" I feel his lips on mine and feel him lift me up and hold me. Why is he being so nice to me now "Anna please wake up, please love" love? He called me love? Harry has never called me that before the only person that's- I open my eyes and instead of seeing Harry's green eyes I see Ezra's icy blue ones.
He grabs my face and kisses me, which I happily accept. After a couple of seconds I pull away "what happened?" "You were screaming and crying in your sleep, I was trying to wake you up but" he puts his head on mine "you wouldn't wake up" "It was a dream?" I start to cry, from relief. It was all just a dream, Harry never found us, Ezra is alive... everything is ok "are you ok love?" I nod my head yes and he smiles "I'm sorry" he furrows his eyebrows "for what?" "I just wanted to say it" I burry my face in his neck and try to calm down. I wanted to say I'm sorry because of what Harry did, I know it was just a dream but it felt so real "do you want to talk about it?" I shake my head no "it might help, just to you know get it out of your mind" he's right it might help, but I really don't want to re-live it, and I really don't want to tell him what Harry did to me in it "Harry found us... Louis he- he killed y-you" he takes a deep breath and holds me tighter. "Oh cuddles" he chuckles "I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here" he pulls me away so he can look at me "and you don't have to apologize about anything, I know what you've been through. Hell I've seen it. We are going through this together and we are going to make it through every bad dream, every memory, every time we see something that makes us remember Zayn" he wipes the tear that fell from my eye and kisses my cheek "and dammit we deserve to live a little, especially you! you've been put through so much shit" I nod in agreement and he pulls me close again and lays us back down onto the bed.
The sun woke me up, that and a loud bang, but this time I smelt something burning and heard Ezra curse. "Are you trying to cook again?" I shout so he can hear me from the kitchen "Oh hush you, go back to sleep" I smile and start to climb off of the bed "I can't go back to sleep wilst my lungs are filling with the smell of burnt food" I hear him laugh "its not burnt the pancakes are just a little... crispy" I reach the landing at the bottom of the stairs and turn around to see a destroyed kitchen. Flour is everywhere, pancake batter is literally dripping from the counter, and smoke is coming out of the stove. Dear lord what am I going to do with this man? give me the strength to teach him how to cook a pancake. "Crispy huh?" I giggle, coming up from behind him and peeking at the frying pan. Complete and utterly burnt pancackes lie inside "it's a new recipe" he turns around to face me "their all the rage in Paris" I nod my head and smile at him "well thank you for making breakfast" "and thank you for cleaning up the mess?" he winks at me and I agree to the clean up job. "see team work is a beautiful thing" "you know what else is beautiful?" he laughs "what?" "pancakes that aren't burn to a crisp-" he cuts me off with a kiss on the lips and picks me up to sit me on the counter top, laughing the entire time. I ended up re-making the pancakes and Ezra cleaned up the kitchen. Once he took a bite he gave in and turned the spatula over to me, but not before he let out an overly dramatic sigh. "Fine fine you can cook from now on" I bend down to kiss him, while he's still eating "that's all I ask"
(Harry's POV)
Everywhere, I've looked everywhere I can think of for Anna, she really hid herself this time. Fucking Ezra I knew I shouldn't have left them in the house alone "Hey Harry" Niall calls me from the kitchen "hmm?" "Did you try talking to Dylan's gang? They might know-" "Why would I do that Niall?! Do you have something you need to tell me" he looks at the ground "Harry-" I go over to him and push him against the fridge "start talking now" "I knew Ben was alive, I told Zayn and he said not to tell you that he'd take care of it" I feel my grip on his shoulders tighten "and then-n I heard him talking on the phone, he met up with someone on Dylan's territory" I drop him and he loosens his shoulders "Liam!" He comes in not even a second later "Call Dylan tell him we need to talk" I can't go to Zayn right now so I'll have to go to the next best thing.
Of coarse Dylan wants to meet up at his flat, he knows it wouldn't end well if he came to mine, so I really can blame him. I'll just have to be extra cautious and not let my guard down. I load my gun and shove it in my back pocket along with some extra bullets, you never know if you'll need em. Niall walks into my room and closes the door "Harry I just wanted to apologize, I should have told you, but I didn't think Zayn would do something like this" yeah neither did I "look let's just find them yeah, then you can apologize. But right now I have more important things to worry about" he nods his head and leaves my room. It's pretty bad when the only one I can trust in this gang is Louis... a fucking lunatic.
"What about him?" Louis asks, talking about Ben. I look over at him and smile "let's bring him, you never know if they'll want collateral" I bring Ben up by his shirt. Liam drugged him once we found out Anna left again, one less problem right. He gave him anesthesia, don't ask me how he got it "alright let's go I don't want to be late" me and the lads get in the car, Liam puts Ben in the trunk and we make are way to Dylan's flat. It's on the other side of town, so it doesn't take that long to get there. "Harry what's the plan mate?" I look over to Louis and he shaking his head "plan is go in, ask questions, and then leave" "what if they don't let us leave" I smirk "then bang, I put a bullet in Dylan's head" Louis nods in agreement "ok... what if they do know where she is?" "Then we go get her... and you can take care of Ezra" he smiles. The rest of the drive is silent until we get there "alright let's get this over with" we get out of the car. Me and Louis go up to the flat and I knock on the door.
"Well well, Harry Styles" Dylan looks over my shoulder to see the rest of the lads and then looks back at me "see your uh number two isn't here, where is he?" "Zayn's a little incapacitated at the moment, sadly he couldn't make it" "what a shame... well come in let's get this over with Styles" I walk in and notice that his men aren't here "where are your men?" He smiles "ah Harold I told them to take the day off, figured me and you could manage this by ourselves. there's no need to go all gunfire happy" I nod and he sits back in a chair "so what's this about?" "Well as you know we found Anna" he nods his head "she got loose again and I have some knowledge about Zayn coming to meet you" "yes he did, about a week go maybe less. wanted me to clean some things up for you" he clears his throat "my condition was that you weren't involved" "what did you clean up?" He takes a deep breath "look I'll tell you but I want to be civil, you don't shoot me I won't shoot you and-" he gets up and takes me to the front window "my guys won't shoot yours" I look outside and Louis, Liam, and Niall are all being held at gunpoint "fine" he smiles and we go back into the living room.
Fucking idiots, I swear I'm the only one in this gang that has any sense at all. How do you go on someone else's territory and not be aware of your surroundings, imbeciles. "so anyway, Zayn called me and told be Anna's boy toy was still alive and that he was a cop and blah blah blah. Then he proceeded to tell me he wanted Anna away from you and back with him" I feel my jaw clench and I know my knuckles are white by now "I thought that was odd, I know how close you two are , so I said no... but then he made me a deal I couldn't refuse" "and what was that" "he said he'd keep you off my back and off my territory, so I agreed to help" he gets up and starts to pace around "but seeing as Zayn isn't here and you said he's 'incapacitated' I'll give you the information on Anna... on one condition" I nod "stay away from here" I laugh and shake my head "c'mon am I that bad" "Styles your the worst" I smirk and motion for him to proceed "all I know is Anna an Ezra are in a safe house in East London... Stratford to be exact. I don't know the address-" "that's fine, thank you Dylan" he nods his head "what about our deal?" "I'm leaving aren't I" I walk out of the flat and see Dylan's men put down their guns. Stratford huh, should be to complicated.
"Anna!" He's shaking me, trying to get me to open my eyes but I don't want to look at him. I can't. "Anna wake up!" His voice is the last thing I want to hear right now, after what he did to Ezra and his face is the last thing I want to see, there is no way I'm 'waking up' for him "Anna please" I feel his lips on mine and feel him lift me up and hold me.
