She's Not Afraid!
The Past Always Comes Back
Lacey’s POV
“You slut. Not even your own family wants you. No one wants you. No one could ever love you the way I do.” Chase says as he throws me on the floor, “Please stop! Ch-a-a-se please.” I whimper. He growls, “No! You deserve all of this. You’re a whore!” “No I’m not!” I yell back. I knew ishouldnt have done that but I couldn’t help myself. He slaps me across the face so hard it stings. My eyes start to pour out tears which causes my cheek to sting more, as they roll down my face. “Yes you are! accept it Lacey.” I start to lift myself up from the floor only to be thrown down again. His cold grey eyes gaze down into mine, “Where do you think you’re going? The fun is only starting.” He mutters.
“Lacey wake up! Babe it’s just a dream I’m right here!” I hear someone say. “NO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!” I scream. I start to wave my arms frantically and jump off the bed. “Lacey it’s me.” I hear the same voice say. “Chase please. No more.” I whimper. Someone comes up to me and touches my cheek, “It’s me love. Not Chase. Harry.” I open my eyes and see Harry. I hug him. “Harry.” I whisper. It was him, not Chase. He wont hurt me. “Thank you Harry!” I say into his shoulder. He strokes my hair, “Why are you saying thank you?” I laugh into him, “Because you’re amazing. Because you aren’t Chase.” He kisses my head. “He really messed you up.” I laugh, “Yeah and somehow I came out alive. Broken and shattered, but I’m here. With you.” I cuddle into him. “You aren’t broken or shattered Lacey. You’re just scratched with a few scars.” I really love this curly haired idiot. “If that’s what you call me, then sure.” We stay like that for a while and then I fall asleep.
The next morning.
“Lacey babe. Wake up!!” Bri yells in my ear. What is wrong with her? Ugh I grab my phone and throw it at her face, “No.” she yelps and walks out of the room while muttering, “Bitch.” I snuggle into my comforter and try to drift off again. Nope. There’s no use! I groan and get up. Grabbing my phone that I threw at Bri from the floor, I open Twitter. As I’m scrolling through it I notice that I haven’t posted any pictures with Harry! How rude of me. I make a mental note to take one with him later. I continue to scroll through my tweets and mentions. I shouldn’t have done that. I forgot that people don’t really support Harry and I together. I see a bunch of ‘you’re a slut! Why would he want you?’ then my favorite, ‘Larry is real! Just leave Harry alone!’ I keep scrolling and then I see it. That one tweet that broke me. ‘I found you Lacey. I’m not letting you go this time. You’re mine. We’ll meet very soon;)’ I drop my phone and gasp. Shit! He’s back. No, this can’t be happening! The door opens and I see Alyssa, Perrie and El come in. Alyssa looks at my face and that’s when I notice that I was crying. They all rush over and ask whats wrong. I don’t answer anything. I’m frozen in fear. He’s back. He’s back. Chase is back. And what scares me the most is the fact that he knows where I am. I see Perrie yelling something but I can’t hear anything. I see everyone rushing in and Harry crouching down. His eyes full of worry and confusion is all I see before everything fades to black.
Harry’s POV
Her eyes shut and she’s limp in my arms. “What the hell happened!?” I yell. Alyssa is crying and she shrugs, “The girls and I came in to try to wake her up only to find her starring at her phone on the floor.” I grab her phone and unlock it. That’s when I see exactly why she fainted. Chase. He’s back and wants her. That son of a bitch! I grab Lacey and carry her into the living room setting her down. “Should we take her to the hospital?” El asks. Bri shakes her head and looks knowingly at Lacey’s limp body. “No. just get me a wet rag and some coffee.” I nod and rush to grab everything. “Did Bri know about Chase?” I say in my head. Everyone is surrounding Lacey with worried eyes. The girls are all crying and Bri is brushing away Lacey’s hair. I hear her humming a song that I don’t recall. Heading into the kitchen I grab everything and walk back to Bri. She takes the rag and orders Louis to go get Lacey a Starbucks. Bri puts the rag on Lacey’s feet. Yeah, on her feet. She notices me looking confused and says, “Lacey hates it when anything cold is on her feet.” I nod and see that Lacey twitches a couple of times. She leaves the rag on her feet, gets up and we all follow her into the kitchen. “What the hell happened?” Alyssa asks. Bri sighs and leans into Liam, “Lacey got some news from someone she hates.” So she did know! I got angry, “You fucking knew about all of this shit and never thought to stop it from happening!!!” Bri stands straight, “I knew and you know I did try to stop it! I would never let someone intentionally hurt her! God Harry! We moved to the states for a reason! Lacey didn’t want me to get involved but I did and you know what happened after that? He hurt her even more! I tried to call the cops on him but Lacey would always say no! That it would make things worse! Dammit Harry! I tried to stop it!” Bri screams while tears roll down her face. I look down at the floor, “I’m sorry Bri. I just don’t like the fact that he did that. I didn’t know you tried to help.” She walks over to me, “Its ok Harry. Don’t be an ass to me though. I’m her best friend. I promised I would protect her. I intend to keep that promise.” I nod. “What happened to Lacey? And who is ‘he’?” Perrie asks in a whisper. “He is Chase. An ex of mine. He hurt me in ways you can’t imagine. He tweeted me and I fainted.” I hear a small voice say. Lacey. I rush over to her, “I’m not going to let him hurt you.” She hugs me, “I know you won’t Harry.” Alyssa is in tears and Niall is trying to comfort her. Zayn and Perrie both look mad and sad. Bri is in Liam’s arms and El looks like she’s in shock. Louis comes in through the door, “I got Starbucks bitches!” Lacey laughs and takes the Starbucks from his hands, “Thank you sass master!” “You’re awake!!!” he screams and hugs her. Lacey nods, “Yeah so got off of me! eww you have cooties!” I shake my head, I swear Lacey is the only person who would start cracking jokes after she fainted. She’s my lovely idiot! Bri is starring at Lacey’s phone. Before anyone has a chance to say anything Bri takes Lacey’s phone and runs upstairs. Lacey panicks and runs after her, “Bri don’t!!” she yells. What the hell is Bri doing? I hear voices and then a door opens, “Harry! Boys! Girls! Get up here!” we all race upstairs. And that’s when I see him. Lacey is trembling on the floor while Bri is crying. He’s here. “Well hello everyone! Lovely to meet you all. I’m Chase.”
“You slut. Not even your own family wants you. No one wants you. No one could ever love you the way I do.” Chase says as he throws me on the floor, “Please stop! Ch-a-a-se please.” I whimper.
