That night I slept in Harry's bed with him and no one really questioned it because for one, Liam has a girlfriend, then two everyone was already in a fuss from the fight earlier that morning.
I woke up and mozied on over to my bag. Hehe, mozy. I'm funny. Anywhooo I grabbed what I needed then left the room. Door was unlocked, thank God. I was barely moving down the hall because I was tired. To be honest, I think the time was about 6:00 am. I opened the door and yawned before wiping my eyes and opening them more. The next second I sqeeled and covered my eyes.

"Oh my god, Harry I'm sorry! I really, okay. I'm going to leave now."

I fumbeled around with closed eyes trying to find the door knob once more then herd the shower head turn off. I finally found the knob and sighed with relief. I twisted it open then saw the door was pushed closed by a strong hand above my head. I could imagine the smirk on his face before I herd the voice speak in my ear.

"Where ya going? I'm done."
"Please have a towel on, Harry."
"Shy, arent you?" He asked and I rolled my eyes still looking at the white door. Harry chuckled and said, "Yeah I have a towel on."
"Doubt it." I replied then turned around.
"but you still turned around. I dont think you wanted me to have this towel on."

He smirked as he spoke then I walked past him to the closet pulling another towel out and a rag. I opened the shower putting the rag on a shelf in it then hung the towel over the glass wall of the shower. I looked over to Harry and gave him the 'scoot-scoot' hand motion. He smiled then nodded his head walking out with the towel sagging in back to show half his bum. I rolled my eyes laughing slightly at his childness.

I striped down then stepped in the shower and let the water run down my body. I hummed along to a different Ed Sheeran song. The words of Give Me Love quitely slipped through my mouth as I rinsed my hair out of shampoo.

"Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love..."

I finished my cleaning and singing then stepped out the shower. Steam filled the room and the mirror was hardly a mirror anymore. I slipped my clothes on and braided m hair to the side. I walked out the bathroom quietly seeing that it was still only 6:20. I walked back to Harry's bedroom and slipped in seeing that Harry was laying on top of the bed covers. He had made the bed in the time I showered. I smiled at him and he smiled back before patting the spot beside him. I stood giving him a thinking look then he raised his eyebrows at me. I laughed and hopped over to the bed sitting beside him.

"What's up, love?" I asked and he put his arm around me.
"Just listenin to something."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, you wanna hear. It's really pretty."
"Pretty? Mhmm... new word from Harry."

He handed me his phone and I looked at the screen. It showed a white door much like the ones in the house then I herd my voice faintly sinfging over the sound of water fallin from the shower and hitting the ground. I looked over at harry angry.

"Why'd you do that? To make fun of me?" I asked mad.
He kissed my head, "no, you sound really good. Is that an Ed Sheeran song?" He asked me with a smile.
I nodded my head yes, "think that's who sings it."
"Well you sing beautifully, you should hear Ti... erm yeah, Liam's sister is a pretty good singer too."
I nodded my head again then rested my head on his arm. I herd beepin from the phone then Harry looked at it moaning.

"Ugghh, I have to go Scarlet." He said standing up.
I looked confused and asked, "Where?"
"I can't say, I'll see you later today. Okay? If you need me for any reason tell Cassandra. I think she's here already with Liam."
"Erm... okay?"
He walked to me and held my shoulder while kissing me.
"Bye, babe."
"Bye..."

I watched him leave then walked out the room down the stairs and into the living room where Louis was sitting on the couch. I wasnt sure how to approach him so I just walked past and into the kitchen.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked as I opened the fridge.
"Uhh... I was going to get some food. Did you want some?"
"You can't just take food from us, Scarlet. How did you even get down here? Wasnt your guard for the night watchin you?"
"He left."
"Liam left?"
"No... Harry did. Liam's with Cassandra."
He sat silent then said, "Oh. Dont take any food yet. You eat only when everyone else is. No snacks. Got it?"

I nodded my head then walked back to the living room and sat on a love seat. The living room was slightly large but not too big. There was a large couch, a love seat, then two chairs on th other side of the room with a little side table in between them. The tellevision was directly infront of the coffee table and couch. I sat watching some show that Louis picked, clearly. I coughed and recieved an evil glare from him.

"Scarlet, would you do me a favor and go check on Tiffany?" He asked and I nodded my head before goin upstairs. I opened the door and saw her drawin in a sketch book. I walked in and she quickly shut it. I sat down beside her and sighed.
"Tiffany, I'm really sorry about yesterday."
She shook her head no and said, 'i'm sorry I spoke so much. I tend to do that sometimes. I mean, I just thought it was rude of him not to say anything about it but I shouldnt be the on to tell you."
"Well, he wasnt going to so why can't my friend tell me?" I asked and she smiled slightly.
"Yeah, so we're friends?"
I nodded my head yes and she hugged me, "Thank the Lord! I was afraid you hated me. I mean, I havnt been the most pleasant person lately."
"It's fine, you were just protective of the guys you liked. Honest, I'd be too."
"Yeah... so you really dont like Louis?"
I laughed, "He hates my very existance."
"He's just mad that Harry's risking them all by keeping you... ya know - alive."
I took a deep breath then nodded my head yes and looked to the floor in thouht.
"Scarlet, dont worry. Harry will take care of you. He's completely changed since the day he met you."
I gave a half smile still looking down worried.
"I, um... I'm going to find Niall, I think."
She nodded her head and I walked to the door. I began opening the door knob then huffed out a sigh.
"It's locked."
She laughed then grabbed the key on the dressed and unlocked it.
"There, have fun with Nialler but not too much fun." She winked and I laughed.
"I'll try."

I walked out laughing then went down two doors to Niall's room. His rool was pretty green with a white comforter and sheets that matched. His pillows were white and other ons were green and white plad. I tip toes over to the boy who slept. His light snores were nothing but adorable. I ignored the cute sounds and thought more on what Tiffany had said both today and yesterday. I herd a yawn then looked over at him with the same worried expression I had earlier.

"Goodmorning, Scarlet." He said then looked to my face. "What's wrong, babe?"

I sighed and layed down next to him. Niall put a protective arm over me as I cuddled to his chest. Niall and I had formed a brother sister relationship over the past few days. It's crazy to think that all of this happened in a matter of days but it has.

"Niall... is it not safe for me to be here? Like not only for me but for all of you?"
"Well... Scar..." He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. "Not exactly."
"Then why didnt you do what you were suppose to?" I asked him.
"That, isnt my job. It never was. I hate being here as much as you do. I lost my privelage to a leaving key two months ago when I didnt come back for a week because I went home to say hello to my family. I hadnt seen them in years and I'm not allowed to call them or anything." He sighed and I hugged him.
"I'm sorry Nialler."

He shrugged his shoulders tightenin his lips to form some kind of sad closed smile. I felt bad for Niall, he hadnt seen his family in over months! I dont know what I;d do not seein my dad for that long... I use to not even want to think of the idea of not seeing my mum but time has changed. I felt my throat tighten when I thought about her. Her long brown hair and icey blue eyes, much like Niall's.

"Wait, how come Liam's sister can come visit?" I asked.
"He's been here a while, I was the last to get pulled in. Also, apparently, Liam's sister know's Simon's daughter. He's allowed to visit his family but dosnt tell us when he does. When we go out we're allowed to make friends and stuff but we can not come in close range of our homes. Everyone has a tracking devise and Simon will know if we're in a 3 mile radius of our family's house."
"So, you couldnt leave if you wanted to, huh?" I asked.
He shook his head no with a frown.
"This is so weird. Who is this guy? The mofia version of the CIA or somehting?"
"Something like that, yes."
My eyes widened, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, it's pretty scary."
"Yeah, it is." I replied and Niall chuckled a tad at my loudness.
"So, Niall. Do you have any clue where Harry went?"
He chuckled, "already worried about him?"
I blushed, "A little bit."

Niall had no clue what was up but told me not to worry about it. Harry had appearently been here the longest of everyone, so he's pretty much the scariest one. I lauged at him being the scariest and Niall widend his eyes.

"You have never seen him really mad, you don want to see that either."
"C'mon, Harry is was too... what's the word..."
"if you say sweet I will laugh in your face." He warned and I laughed.
"Well he is sweet but-"
Yup, then the laughing came.
"Why is it so hard to believe Harry is sweet?"
"Let me explain..."

Niall began telling a flashback/story. I sat listening to every word imagining the scene in my head. One day Harry decided to take the boys out to a club to celebrate a job well done. They all went down to a club and began drinking and dancing on appearently very attractive girls. Niall elaborated on that. I rolled my eyes then continued listening. Harry got pretty drunk then some guy slapped him for dancin with his girlfriend. Harry got overly mad and punched the guy in the face. The guy tried fighting back but was pushed to the ground. Niall described the sound of his back hitting the cememt ground as a brick being thrown at a wall made of more bricks. I cringed at the thoght but the story got worse. Harry didnt stop punching the guy. They all had to run out of the bar before police got to the unconcious man. Since then, they never went back to that town unless absolutly necessary.

My eyes were wide and my nerves were shot momentatily, "He really did that?"
"Oh yeah, there are lots of other things Harry has had to do as jobs that I shouldn say but you get the idea. He isnt the sweet guy you see, that's just the impress Scarlet side of him. Everyone is a little different around the girl they like. I cant say he's ever been this different though. I mean, he's even nicer when you're just up in a room and he's down in the living room. You have some effect on him that lasts a little longer than when other girls were with him."

I gulped at the words 'other girls' did he always have some girl that he acted for? Did he always have some girl to kiss and tell them how he 'needed' them? I looked down and fiddled with my fingers. Niall sighed and hugged me.

"Don't worry too much, I know he likes you if you're worrying about that. It's obvious that he does. He likes you more than anyone he ever liked, I think. Just by the way he wants to help you and something about seeing you sad really hurts him. He never gave a dam before if he upset a girl. Sure, he'd apologize eventually but it was almost comical. He never meant it."
I slightly smiled.
"He also never risked his life for a girl. He did that several times for you. The beach trip was risky but I'm sure he needed it and you probably did too. Then the whole delima about you being alive... We all like you Scarlet, believe it or not. Even Louis enjoys your company. He likes being able to boss more than just Zayn and I around but he dosnt dare boss Zaynaround or he knows he'll be dead in 10 seconds."
"What is Zayn's problem?" I asked changing the subject.

Niall raised his shoulders and made a dorky 'I donno' look. I laughed and sat up after him. Niall's phone began ringing and he rolled like a log over the bed to a side table. I laughed again at him then watched him answer the phone.

"Hello? 1 half of Nial here, who am I speakin to?"
His eyes got wide and looked at me.
"I'm sorry, who?" He asked.
I watched while he bit his lip worried.
"Erm... no. I dont know anyone by that name. I'll keep an eye out for you if you want. What does she look like?"
Niall stayed quiet then spoke again repeating a description, "so 18, brunette, about 5 foot 4. Okay, I got it, ill call this number if I see her or hear anything.

Niall hung up then told me to see if anyone else were awake. I ndded my head and began leaving then Niall stopped me.

"Did you leave without giving your brother a hug?" He asked and I smiled.
I turned around and embraced a comforting Horan hug then walked out the room

Down the stairs I went but if only I knew the sad reality of life that would smack me in the face the second I got down there. Within minutes Louis was yelling at me and I was closed up to a corner with him infront of me telling me to stop crying or he would give me a reason to cry, which he did. Louis slapped me clear across the face and I dropped to my knees with tears fallin from my face.

"What is wrong with you..." I whispered between tears as his whisky scented breath filled the air around me. I held on to the shirt of Harry's for comfort but it couldnt help. He kept repeating, "where is Harry know?!" Loudly in my face inbetween the remarks of hate and slurrs of cruelty. Finally I yelled to Niall who came runnin down stairs still soaking wet with only his pants on and a towel aroun his neck.

"HAH!" Louis laughed loudly in my face, "Niall can't do a dam thing to me, little girl now shut up and apologize to me!"
"I'm sorry!" I cried out with pain in my expression.
"Louis, please, just leave her alone. She hasnt done anything to you."
"Really, Niall? She hasnt done anything to me, at all?"
Niall stayed quiet.
"She hasnt made my life just a little bit more complicated than the day I was first shipped to this hell hole?! She isnt completely jepordizing my chance to being able to leave?! IF I DO WHAT SIMON SAYS I CAN LEAVE ON DAY NIALL! WE CAN ALL LEAVE ONE DAY! You can go back to your family and I can go back to mine so dont say she hasnt done anything because her every breath is doing something to me."

"You need to go Louis." Liam stated to him from behind Niall after he came down. Zayn stood behind him with crossed arms.

Both Niall and I were quiet. He wouldnt make eye contact with Louis and I wouldn either. Louis turned to me and just stared for a second before walking off with a new bottle of vodka. I watched his step work, very jumbely. He was obviously drunk but he was right too. I picked myself up while still shaking from the yelling and slap I recieved. I walked myself to the kitchen sink and put cold water on my hand before putting it on my throbbing cheak. I closed my eyes at the pain then walked away and sat on the couch feeling completely defeated and unnecessary. Have you ever felt like your existance wasnt even necessary? I did, right them.

"Scarlet, dont listen to him. You've made a good difference on us all and I appreciate you being here, even if it is a little dangerous. We've handled danger for a while now."
I faked a smile then layed out on the sofa. I grabbed the remote and turned the channel to Spongebob.

Liam walked away and Zayn sat on one of the spots beside me. I hadnt ever really talked with Zayn before other than the leaving instances. He stayed quiet, still. I chuckled at different parts of the show and I saw a smile on his face every now and again.

"Scarlet." He spoke.
I turned my head to make eye contact.
"I'm sorry about Louis."
I nodded my head, "Thank you."
"If you every need me to get on him, I will. Just call."
I smiled slightly then he did too.
"Thanks, i'll be sure to do that."
