The mentally brave ( Editing)

My eyes are shut close waiting for pain, or no feeling at all once the bullet hits my head. I don't really care anymore, my face, arms and legs hurting.
"I wouldn't do that If I was you" I hear a husky voice snarl our way.
The gun fired but not at me. Pure fear washes over me. I push suited man of me, remembering to finally use my gift, feeling his weight lift off me. I sat up ears ringing from the shooting, looking for my savior making sure he wasn't hurt.
"How did you do that? You're one of them!" Suit said in shock. I didn't have time to answer.
Harry jumped, pinning the suited man to the floor punching at his face. The gun was thrown to the side. I make it come to me and hold it in my hand, feeling its weight between my fingers.
I try holding it up but I am dizzy.
"Take out the bullets" Harry yelled at me. That turn of his head cost him a punch to the face, knocking him to the side. The suit got up, trying to decide who to go after, me or Harry. He decided to turn to me, since I was the one holding the gun in her hand.
"Give it to me girl" He said "You don't want to shoot me"
"I-I do- stay away" I am pointing the gun on him.
"Don't do anything stupid" He said holding up his hands.
I see Harry get up to his feet slowly. The minute I take my eyes off of suits he launches himself at me dropping me to the ground the sending the gun flying to the other side.
The man holds up a fist ready to punch me once more. Harry comes behind him, hitting him on the head with the pole knocking him unconscious.
"Lizzie" He is by my side holding my head up to his lap "You ok? How bad did he hurt you?"
I try to focus on Harry's green eyes but they were going in and out of range.
"I got to Luke, he's ok" I whisper, my body in pain.
"I know baby, hold on" Harry lifts me in his arms resting my head on his shoulder as he walked out of the ally way. Around the corner Ed was waiting in the car with the others.
Perrie gets out to open the door so Harry can seat me down inside.
"Take her to the safe house- I'll meet you there, and don't let Lizzie fall asleep" He said closing the door. Once Perrie was back inside the car Ed drove off. I was sitting in the back next to Luke who was looking at me.
'This is all my fault'
"No it's not Luke" I answer his thought
"Who was that curly bloke?" Luke asked Perrie
"That was Harry, you'll get to know him soon enough" She answered
We drive in silent, my face too bruised for me to move my lips anyway. Every now and then Luke nudges me so I won't doze off.
When we get to the so called safe house, Harry is already there leaning on his bike waiting.
When Ed stops the car Harry opens the door to get me out.
"How was he able to get so close to you?" Ed asked when he saw my beat up face.
"She isn't used to fight, or use her gift in I fight" Harry said to him coldly obviously still fuming about them taking me with.
Harry carries me up the stairs. I unlock and open the door for him "Thanks" He mumbles.
"D-Did she just do that herself?" Luke pointed at Harry's back eyes wide at Ed
"She did" He confirmed.
Harry lay me down on a bed in one of the rooms.
"What is this place?" I sit up looking around
"This home is Niall's grandparent's house. They stay here when they come to England" I'm in a lot of pain and just about to state it to Harry when I notice his shirt. His left side, where the shoulder is, is stained with blood. I get up to reach him, but I lose my balance. Harry hurry's to my side before I full over.
"Sit down Liz, you hit your head quite bad"
"You got shot" I say pointing at his shoulder.
"It only grazed me" Harry said turning from me. I am watching him stride away from me, coming back moments later with a pack of ice for my head. He sits down next to me, holding the package to my bruised cheek. He is looking deep into my eyes. I knew this is all my fault but it was this or lose Luke. I make the door close. Harry's eyes flicker to it then back to me.
"I'm sorry you got hurt because of me" I say. Harry keeps quite holding the ice to my face looking at me.
"But I would have done everything over again if it means we save Luke" I say
"You don't get it do you?" Harry gets up in rage
"Get what?" I ask
"You almost got killed" He shouted at me
"Almost" I remind him
"You never do that to me again" his eyes go black. He turns to walk out the door but I lock it.
"Now you remember to use your powers?" Harry throws at me.
Hurt flashes through me, his words stinging as if he just slapped my face.
He is staring at me. I know he noticed the emotion flicker in my eyes.
"Come here" I say to him. He has an expression of wonder on his face not knowing why I would call him to my side after he hurt me with his words.
"I said come here" I repeat myself adding force to my tone.
Harry takes a few paces in my direction.
"Let me see" I look up at him "Take your shirt off"
"No" He answered simply
"I said take it off" I make the shirt pick up a bit exposing his abdomen
"Cut it out Liz" He says to me in anger. However after giving me a raging glance he raised the shirt and pulled it over his head throwing it to the floor by the door.
I look at his exposed skin. I can see where the bullet grazed his upper shoulder. I stand up and take the two remaining paces standing close to him. I take off my jumper, staying in just my top and hold the fabric to his wound. Since I know he turned the pain off he couldn't feel the burn to his flesh. I notice the tattoo on his arm just below his shoulder blade. I ran my finger across it looking up to his eyes that haven't left my face.
"When did you get this?" I asked him
"Right after I got out of the hospital" He said. I look again at his tattoo and then pick up my shirt showing him my own on the side, right above my waist.
"I remember" Harry read "You got that for Amy?" He looked at me his eyes turning back to green.
"Yes" I felt a lump build in my throat, seeing his sister's name tattooed to his flesh and sharing with him the one I got to remember her.
"Thank you" He said.
"It wasn't for you. It was for her, she wasn't supposed to die" I whisper.
"I was terrified today Lizzie" He whispered back. I know he isn't upset with me any longer since he just called me Lizzie again.
"I'm fine.. We're fine" I smile up at him, noticing how close our body's are.
"I thought I'm going to lose you" He whispered. I look away from his face, to my hands. I bring them up leaning them on his chest, and looking back to his face.
"Other than a little bruising I'm all right"
Harry brought his hands to my waist linking his fingers through the loops of my jeans. He was warm under my touch. Looking up at him, standing this close to him, I felt safer then I have ever felt before.
"Can you feel that?" He asked
"Feel what?" I try to pull back but Harry's hold on me prevented it.
"This thing we have what is happening between us is inevitable, so stop trying to fight it" He was talking to me in a low voice, his head bent down to mine. For the first time, I don't get this dizziness and weak feeling like I always do when Harry and I share such an intense moment gazing at each other. I know what is coming, what is about to happen but even though I am having a hard time believing. Harry's eyes flash with heat as he brings his face down closer to mine. Our lips meet, my breath catching in my throat as his soft lips close over mine. The kiss started out gentle, but soon it grew hungry. Harry withdrew his fingers from the loops of my jeans just to hold on to my waist with both hands pulling me even closer. I bring my arms around to the back of his head brushing my fingers through his curls. His hands left my hips wandering down my thighs I move my hands, holding on to the back of his neck as he lifted me up pulling my legs around his waist, his hands cupped my thighs holding them in place around him. Harry turned to sit on the bed, putting me down on his lap, my legs still holding his waist. I feel his heart pounding beneath my touch. His warm lips trailing down the side of my throat sucking on that soft place beneath my ear were the pulse pumps. My skin prickled as I felt his hands wandering too, down my waist over my bum and back to my thighs. I move my hands to his keeping them at bay, not wanting to take this thing we were doing too far.
"Harry" I breathe his name "Slow down", I shove slightly at his shoulders. He lets out a soft growl, but leans back from me looking at my face though His hands still holding at my hips. I brush some curls off his face pulling them back with my fingers.
"I like it when your cheeks go red" He gave me a cheeky smile.
"I'm sure you do" I giggle to hide the flutter of my heart from his ears, feeling more flustered then before. I push myself off Harry's lap
"No don't go" He gets hold of my hand pulling me back to him.
"Harry, I need to find something for my head, it feels as if it will explode" I frown rubbing my forehead.
"I'll make it feel better" He got up, cupped my face in both his palms and kissed me on my brow where I left a rubbing mark.
"We need to find something to clean up that wound of yours before it'll get infected" I unlock the door and pull Harry after me.
"Harry?" Perrie called when she heard the door open.
"We'll be right with you, just getting some antiseptic for our cuts" He calls out to her.
Harry directed me to the bathroom. We looked through the shelves to find something that might be helpful.
"There" I say finding disinfecting wipes. I close the cupboard to find myself staring into the face of a beat up girl with wide blue eyes. One of her eyes was swollen almost shut, the skin around it turning slightly purple. There was a long cut on her cheek dried blood smeared on her face. I raise my hand to touch my cheek with my fingers and wince.
"It will wash off and the colouring will fad" Harry stood in back of me, his face coming into focus reflecting in the mirror.
I turn to him wipe in hand. I put it to his injury, watching his face for a sign of pain.
His eyes are watching mine a twinkle of happiness in them.
"What are you so pleased about?" I say raising my brow. The pain that shot to my head was so unbearable that I immediately let my facial muscles go loose. Harry's eyes didn't miss that and the smile on his face faded, taking its place was a pained expression.
"Come here" He takes me by the shoulders and leans me to the wall. I obey putting my trust in him. He takes a clean wipe out of the package bringing it close to my face.
"This might sting a bit" He says. He touches it to the cut on my cheek. I hiss in pain trying to get away, but the wall behind me blocks my move. Tears stream out of the corners of my eyes making the cuts on my face sting even more.
"I'm sorry" Harry seems in just as much of pain as I feel, lips trembling slightly.
"If I could just take your pain away" He said in a strained voice.
Suddenly the spot at my cheek where Harry's finger touched went warm, the stinging disappeared like it was never felt.
"Harry" My eyes go wide in amazement.
"What?" He jumps back thinking he did something wrong.
"You did it" I clutch his hands "The stinging- it was you" I say.
"What have I done?" He asked in confusion.
"Have you ever done this before? Take the pain away from someone else?"
"What? I did it? It worked?" His face lights up with a big smile "I must tell Liam"
"What does Liam have to do with it?"
"We were trying for a while to expand my abilities, it finally worked"
I tilt my head watching his happiness play on his face, never seeing Harry like this- so care free. Even at school it always seemed as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"Come on, it's time for you to meet Luke" I pull Harry out of the bathroom and to the living room where the rest of us were.
"About time" Perrie said from her place by the coach.
"Hi Luke" Harry reached out his hand for Luke to shake "I'm Harry, did they fill you in?"
"Yes, I think I understand most of what they were telling me" He was holding a cup of tea in his hands.
"It's ok, I've only heard parts myself, if you have any questions just ask" I smile at him.
"What do you mean just heard parts?" Luke looks at me
"I only found out about these guys yesterday" I point at Ed and Perrie.
"You don't say" Luke looked amused more than surprised.
"Yes at first she thought I was a killer" Ed chuckled
"You from all people? I would pin killer on Harry, not you" Luke answered him
"I wish I had things to change into, for a shower" I sigh feeling grubby in my stained clothes.
"I have something for you, and your phone as well" Harry got up getting the backpack he had with him.
"You went to my house? That is how you figured I was with these two" I shake my head slightly
I take the bag with me to the room Harry carried me into before, setting it on my bed.
I take out my phone and call Natalie.
"Liz" She answers after the first ring
"Hi babe, you alright?"
"Am I alright? Where are you?" She shouts down the phone
"Calm down Nat, I'm with Harry, I'll be back tomorrow don't worry"
"Harry got to you then"
"I'm calling you from my phone so obviously he got to me" I smile to myself.
"What time you think you'll be back tomorrow?" She asked me
"I'm not sure" I watch as Harry walks in and leans his torso on the door frame.
"I'll call you tomorrow on my way back ok?"
"Be safe Liz" Nat said ending the call. My cheeks flush red hearing that comment, not knowing if she meant safe in the whole of safe with Harry.
"What did she say?" Harry gave me a half smile making one dimple visible.
"Nothing", I get up and take some clothes out the bag.
"Did you pack this?" I ask coming across my lace bra and black knickers.
"I have.. do you like?" he asks his smile turning cheeky once again
"I don't know what kind of idea you have playing in your head but I'm rooming with Perrie tonight" I point at him
"As you wish" He moves sideways to let me pass through.
After a shower I come back to the living room. Ed Luke and Harry were talking football while Perrie was dozing off. I pass Harry to sit next to her, but he pulls at my waist sitting me down beside him. As he listens to Luke's story he keeps his arm around me playing with my fingers rubbing his own to my palm. I see Ed's eye flicker to our joint hands a little smile tugging at the sides of his mouth.
"I'm hungry" Luke said suddenly, reminding us all we haven’t eaten today.
"What about a pizza?" Ed suggested
"Sounds good to me" Harry said.
Just then there is knocking at the door.
"That was fast" Luke joked hiding the jolt of fear we all felt.
"Stay here" Harry got up, unwrapping himself from me, leaving my hand. He walks to the door. We get up and follow him ignoring his order to stay behind.
There is a boy at the door about Harry's age, brown hair and blue eyes.
Harry just stared at him without saying a word, but the boy didn't care busy looking at me.
"So he got to you the guy with the suite, but you didn't die" He said relief washing over his face.
"Sorry?" I ask confused as to whom this boy is and how did he know about my interaction with the suited man
"I was keeping track but then at some point my vision was blocked, so I had to find you"
