Harry Styles POV.

We can prevent tragic events in our lives. Things happen, but then we look back and access the damage and see, things didn't have to be this way. We could have prevented all of these tears that have been she'd, and all of this blood that has dripped. But at the moment we don't want to see the bad, so we ignore it. We make bad decisions that help us make it through the day, but ruin our lives in the end....

And my life has been just one big butterfly effect... So now here I am, drunk out of my mind. I'm in an empty stadium my parents had purchased when I was young, for reasons I can't recall. I could have stopped all of this, I thought to myself letting out a bitter laugh. It didn't have to end this way, but it did. So here I sit alone guitar on my lap, and microphone inches from my lips thinking about all the things I would do differently...

Five days earlier...

"Riden put the gun down dammit, just leave it all be! It's over!" I yell to my brother. We're in the hospital, I had just been discharged and we were meant to be going home. Riden came in, and let out fire at anything with a beating heart. He reeked of gin as he now held poor Delilah in his arms.

"Harry help!" She cried out, tears streaming down her rosy cheeks. Riden pulled on her hair harder making her cry out to me. I meant to protect her. She wants me to save her, yet here I stand a useless and helpless man.

"You did this Harry, this is your fault! You wanted Annabeth! You wanted everything, and you thought you could just have it! Well you can't have it all! You took everything from me, and now I'm gonna take it all from you!" Riden screamed at me. I started to feel my own tears run down my cheeks. He was going to do it.

I need to think!

Think Harry, don't let her die, not like this!

Annabeth, who had been standing in the corner, started walking towards Riden. Riden became hesitant at her actions, and backed away. She gave me a sad smile, and I shook my head. What the hell is she doing!? She's going to get herself killed! I almost lost her once I can't do it again.

"Riden put her down. I'll leave with you, I'll do whatever you want. You want me you can have me. Just let her be, Harry's right lets been done with this madness." Annabeth calmly attempted to coax my brother into letting Delilah go. His head shook no, and being drunk he slightly stumbled.

"Oh you're coming with me Annabeth. To a place where your body is as cold as ice, yet surplus flames are what surrounds you." He told her, trailing off into a sad laugh. I wasn't sure what he meant, but I knew it wasn't good. I took Annabeth's arm to pull him away from an insane Riden, but he didn't like that.

Bang!

Annabeth is on the ground, blood leaking from the top of her head. I should move, I should do something but I can't. He shot her in the head. She isn't going to wake up this time.

Bang!

Delilah is on the floor. I should move, but I can't. She has blood oozing from her temple on to the white, tile floors. I should feel, but I can't. I should be fighting my brother like I did when he pushed Annabeth down the stairs, but I can see straight. My brain isn't working. I should be crying because the two most important females in my life are dea-... No I can't say it... I can't do that either.

Bang!

And just like that my brother fell to the floor, his blood mixing in with Delilah's and Annabeth's...

II made sure my guitar was tuned before I started to sing... Sing for my lost love... sing for the tragedy born in this Arranged Wedding...

Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asked for your hand
'Cause you're waiting for me
And I know, you're gonna be away a while
But I've got no plans at all to leave
And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
Take my hand and my
Heart and soul, I will
Only have these eyes for you
And you know, everything changes but
We'll be strangers if we see this through
You could stay within these walls and bleed
Or just stay with me
Oh lord, now

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as
I Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one

I'm stumbling off drunk,
getting myself lost
I am so gone,
so tell me the way home
I listen to sad songs,
singing about love
And where it goes wrong

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one...

In a world that must be balanced, when the devil took away the girls' innocence, God gave him a child to even the scale...

And when the devil took the child's life, God brought home the broken the girl to even the scale...

THE END!

Notes

I know boring way to end it... Honestly I'm kind of pissed about the last couple chapters. I had been reluctant to end the story with Annabeth's death at the chapter when she is pushed down the stairs, but now I realize that would have been a much more exciting ending. I feel like the other chapters were unnecessary. I don't know let me know what you guys think anyways...

I'm really sorry about it taking so long to give you this chapter, which ended up being shitty anyway, but I never did get my tablet and since I've had to move had to move halfway across the country...

I hope to start a new story soon, and plan for it to be a different style. I let you know when its posted!

All The Love,
