The Only One for Me
Things Go Down
Aly's POV
Sweat dripped down my forehead and fell from my puffy eyes. "Shit, shit, shit!" I screamed, louder with each repetition. I was 2 weeks late for my period. "No!" I moaned, "This cannot be happening!" I slid into the bathroom floor. The test was positive. I lay there on the floor, sobbing, as people started to come into focus around me. There were only two of them, and these two faces made me feel even worse, they had so much conflict associated with them: Riley and Harry.
Harry was angry. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" He shouted as I lay there, cowering, on the floor. "I thought you said you were done with him!" Suddenly his tone became sad and his voice cracked as he said, "Why did you choose him over me?" This only brought even more tears to my eyes.
"I- I'm sorry!" I sobbed, but he looked away.
Riley, however, grinned. "This is perfect! You thought you had gotten rid of me when you dumped me, but you have to see the father of your children!" He laughed and started walking towards me. I scrambled away, only to find that I was on the edge of the cliff. At the bottom there was nothing but dusty rocks and tumbleweeds. Before I could do anything, I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around and realized Riley was right behind me. He laughed again. "bye!" he said, and pushed me into the abyss.
I woke up panting. Charlie looked over at me from her sleeping bag on the floor. She had been sleeping in my room ever since she had returned from her trip and found me in a deep state of depression, suffering from horrible nightmares, a couple weeks before.
"Again?" She asked. I must have shouted in my sleep.
"I'm so sorry," I said, still shaking with fear from the dream. "I just can't get them out of my mind! I feel like I killed a person, it's in my mind every second of the day and night." I burst into tears and began to hyperventilate. Charlie jumped into my bed and held me in her arms, something I could only abide from 2 people (you guess the other one (-;).
"Let it out," She said. "Tell me everything." And I did, as she stroked my hair and made me feel safe again.
----------------Two Days Later--------------------
"Pleeeeeeeaaasssssseeee come out with me!" Whined Charlie. "It won't be any fun if you're not there, Aly! How am I supposed to attract guys if I don't have a hot bitch to grind on?" I laughed. She had spent the last hour trying to convince me to go to a hot new nightclub with her.
"Fine, FINE!" I said finally, as she grinded on the air. "You do need me, you're not going to get anything with that dance move."
We got ready together that afternoon, and by the time we left, I felt amazing.
Music blares through the enormous speakers stationed around the room. Bright lights flash, leaving everyone disoriented but excited. Bodies twist and turn, moving against each other, like the last puzzle piece, that can't quite fit because something has gone wrong, but nobody notices: it just feels so perfect. Suddenly there is a loud bang. Somebody screams. And two very strong hands grab my neck. Everything goes black.
Harry's POV
"Okay," I said into the phone in a somewhat panicked tone. "I'm on my way. Don't worry." I grabbed a duffel bag, threw any necessary supplies into it, and rushed out of the hotel. I was on my way to the airport, where I was going to find a way to get from London to Virginia as fast as possible.
When I got there, I was able to get a ticket for a plane leaving in an hour and a half. I raced through the airport to make sure I didn't miss it. Nothing was going to keep me from getting to the States as quickly as I could.
My phone started ringing shortly before takeoff. It was Paul.
"Harry, where the hell are you?" He shouted.
"I'm on a plane," I said dully.
"What in God's name are you doing on a plane, 2 hours before the most important concert of the tour? I swear to God, Harry, if the fame has finally gotten to you and you've decided you don't care enough-"
"I have more important things to deal with right now!" My voice was slightly raised. I didn't want to tell anyone why I had to go so suddenly. I didn't even want to think about it myself. "Unless your problem includes someone I love being in danger, then I don't care right now." I hung up.
Charlie's POV
BANG! The shot rang loud and clear in my head, hours after I had first heard it. Along with the shot came a chorus of moans and screams. I was going insane.
I still couldn't believe it. I kept looking around, waiting for her to be sitting next to me, laughing and announcing that it had been a prank and now I would win a million dollars. But she wasn't there.
It had been 12 hours. 12 hours since Aly had gone missing.
