The mentally brave ( Editing)

I can't even start to explain what happened the last few hours. It was a whole big blur and yet I remember. It will hunt me for the rest of my life, leaving my nights sleepless or full of nightmares.
For the first time in my life I wanted to die. I wanted to be by my loved ones. I wanted no part of this world full of hate, jealousy and heartless people.


3 hours before:

"Lizzie!"
I turn to see Harry rushing up to me followed by Ed and Liam. It was as if all my dreams came true in that one moment.

I ran towards Harry my arms stretched trying my best to reach him as fast as I could. When I finally did I was swept up into his arms and twirled around as his lips finally met mine after a long few weeks of not seeing him, not touching him, only hearing his voice through the far away phone.

"I missed you," I murmur into his neck as my feet finally touched the ground. I was not ready to leave him, clenching tight to his shirt and inhaling his scent as I felt his hands run up and down my back.
"Don't ever leave me again!" Harry whispered to me over and over again.
"I won't! Never again!" I promised "Promise me you will stay forever!" I looked up at him, wanting him to make the same promise.

"Forever and always!" He swore, and I stood up on my toes to reach his lips once more.

"Ahh… yeah.. we are here too," I hear Ed.
I finally let Harry go, turning to the two boys.
"Hi lads," I smile, hugging Ed and then Liam.
"Gosh Lizzie, I missed you! This twit was unbearable!" Liam winked.
"Yeah, next time you decide to take off take me with- I will not go through this again," Ed scratched his head.

"She is not leaving ever again!" Harry wrapped his arms around me from behind kissing my cheek. I cover his hands with mine, happy to have him back.
I meant it when I promised forever and always, I will never go through this again.
"Where are the others?" Liam looked around.
"Over here, come with me,"

We all walked to the living room where our friends were waiting for us.
When we walked in it was as if the room had exploded with the amount of excited shouting.
Everyone got up to greet and hug each other. I always knew we were a tight group of friends- but this- this was like seeing a long time lost sibling or something. I notice Eleanor wiping away tears as she pulled away from Harry, and Perrie buried under Ed's arm, her shoulders shaking.

"All right, guys, we need to tell you something," Harry raised his hands to the air to get attention.
Everyone quietened down to listen to what Harry had to say.
"My dad knows you left, he knows you're all hear, and he knows we have left him,"
The room woke with whispers and scared glances.
"He is on his way here as we speak," Harry continues.

"So why are you only telling us this now? You should have spoken sooner instead of wasting time," Perrie spoke.

"And how would that have helped the situation?"
Heads were turned to the doorway, where Foster appeared leaning against the frame.
"Foster," Harry clenched his jaw.
"Harry, lovely to see you again," Foster flashed him his white smile.
"How long do we have?" Niall asked, making everyone regroup.
"About an hour," Ed answered.

The room got noisy again, and Harry had to raise his voice to get everyone to listen.
"Nothing has changed, we will try and talk our way out of a fight, but if we don't succeed, then we will fight back, and we will win," He assured our friends.

"Eleanor? What is it?" I notice my friend freeze, her eyes still and her shoulders tense.
"They're here," She shot to her feet.
"How would you know?" Zayn asked furrowing his brows.
"That is El's gift," Perrie replies, getting up as well.

Just at that moment the lights went out. It was pitch black in the living room, and the sound of shuffling feet was heard.

I feel my hand being grabbed, but at first I don't know who it is. I try to search the minds around me to find out, but it was too much to read through them all.
"Come with me," I hear Niall say, getting pulled after him.
"But Harry," I start, though I am cut off by gun shots.
"He made me promise to keep you safe," Niall answers.
We run across the house to the back door.
"Ni- I can't leave- not when all of our friends are in there," I whisper harshly trying to break free of his hold.
We hear more gun shots, and duck our heads.

"Well well," I spine to face Tim standing in back of us.
I swiftly stand in front of Niall, knowing I am stronger than him when it's a fight against this sick sod.
"Fancy seeing you again," I say sarcastically.
"To bad this would be a short reunion," He replies.

I know what he is about to do, but I am faster, with my mind snapping his neck, and watching his body fall to the ground in a thud.

"What the hell Liz?" Niall stared at me with wide eyes.
"He was about to do the same to you," I answer, not letting the shock of what I did reach me. I couldn't, I had to stay sharp.
More gun shots were heard.

"We must go back inside!" I beg Niall. He nods his head, knowing that we need my powers there if we want to win.

A popping sound indicated Luke was with us, which meant something had changed in Louis's vision.

"Luke!" I shout trying to find him.
He runs towards us followed but Louis.
"Louis!" I call, wanting to know what he is doing here, but then I see his red eyes, and tear stained face.

"Where is El? Where is she?" He sobbed
"Inside, we are going back in know, what is wrong?" Niall inquired
"Oh God! We must find her know," Louis bolted to the door.

I see the flashing images of his vision flash in front of my eyes, as we run back to the house.
I almost trip over a body when we enter, Luke catching my arm to prevent my fall.
I crunch down to check who it is.

"Perrie," I whisper.
"She still has a heartbeat," Luke whispers back. We check her making sure she has no bullet wounds. She was fine.
"Luke get her out of here," I say. Luke does not need to be told twice. He bends to pick her up and with a pop they are gone.

"We need to split up," I whisper to Louis and Niall.
"NO, I am not leaving you alone," Niall shakes his head.
"Ni, we don't have time, we need to find the others,"
"So start moving," Louis answers, agreeing with Niall about not splitting. I don't have time to argue so I continue pacing quietly in the dark trying to find our friends.
There is another body on the floor, but it's one of Simon's guards. I look for his gun on the floor. Once I find it I hand it over to Louis, "Something to keep you safe," I answer. I make the cartridge fly to my hand, handing that too to Louis.

We continue out of the living room turning to the kitchen.
"Harry? Ed?" I whisper.
"Eleanor?" I hear Louis calling her name.
"Lizzie," I hear Ed's voice.
"Ed!" I find him, and kneel by his side, the moon light was shining on his face through the window. He was holding his chest, blood seeping out of a wound.

"You're shot," I say touching his chest.
"You should see the other guy," He tries to joke. We look sideways and notice a guard on the floor, his neck snapped. Niall gets his gun and bullets.

Ed moves away his hands to let me heal him. First I make the bullet stuck in him come out, Niall holding his hand to Ed's mouth preventing him from screaming out in pain.
A popping sound let us know Luke is back, and Louis rushes to get him.
Even though I healed Ed, he was still weak from the loss of blood, making him unfit to fight.
"Luke, you need to get him out of here too," I say when he and Louis reappear.
With a nod Luke helps Ed up and just like that they are gone.
We then move out of the kitchen walking up the stairs slowly. I try to listen to people's thoughts, but with no success.

When we reach the top floor, Louis bolts to a body on the floor, Niall following him. Just then I notice a light move into one of the rooms. I block out Louis's sobs and thoughts knowing I will not be able to move if I let them register in my mind.
I follow the light, into the room.
When I step in, the light comes on, and the Doctor is holding a gun to my head.
"Thank you Lizzie, for joining," He smiles an evil smile.


"This was your plan all along wasn't it?" I say, finally all the piece clicking together.
"You're a clever girl aren't you? Well I guess it was… It was quite hard to keep it from you though, with you reading my mind.. I had to come up with a different plan to think about when you were around," He explained.
"Why kill our kind? You made us!" I ask
"It was an experiment! And it went wrong- It is one thing to have people like Harry that lock everything out, but it's totally different to have people like you- who read thoughts, and move things with their minds,"

"Your daughter moved things with her mind! I got that from her! Would you kill your daughter?" I demanded to know.

"I depressed that power! Made sure she would never use it.. Didn't Harry ever tell you? That was the reason he didn't talk with me for many years! He stood up to the way I handled Amy, kicking me out and making me leave," Simon shook his head.

"You are a monster!" I shouted, not able to hold my disgust anymore.

"Well, that is one way to look at it, the way I look at it though is you being the monsters, with your freakish abilities," He chuckled.
"Well, that is enough talking!" He points the gun.

I try and knock it out of his hand with my mind, but it doesn't work.
"Yeah, your powers don't work as long as I have this," He flashes a pendant from around his neck, smirking.
"Son of a bitch!" I spit between my teeth.

"Dad!" Harry runs into the room.
"Harry! Get the hell out of here, this is between Lizzie and I," His dad orders
"The fuck it is!" Harry stands in front of me.
"Move aside son!"
"I am not your son! If you want to shoot her you'll have to go through me first!" Harry says firmly.

Michael enters the room then tackling Harry.
They fight each other on the floor, while I keep my eyes on the doctor. Simon was busy watching the fight, making sure Harry is down but not hurt.
For some reason Michael is able to pin Harry down. When he does, a grin appears on the doctor's face, and once again the gun is pointed in my face.

"Dad No!" Harry screams.
I glance over at Harry, knowing this is after all the end. I shut my eyes, a tear escapes my right eye, and runs down my cheek.

Two shots are heard, and I wait for the pain to take over me.
"No!" I hear a voice yell, but it's Niall's.

I open my eyes.

The doctor is on the floor dead, a bullet hole in his head, Niall letting the gun that put the hole there down, his eyes on Harry.
I look down and scream.

"NO! No no no! Harry!" I fall to my knees and cradle his head.
Harry managed to break free from Michael's hold throwing himself in front of me, the bullet that was meant for me hitting him instead.

"I feel it," Harry manages to say, blood seeping out of his mouth.
"Harry, hold on! Niall the pendant!"

By the look on his face, he had no idea what I was talking about.

"Harry! Please," I sob, my tears falling on his bloody chest.
"I love you Lizzie," He whispered closing his eyes.
"No! You promised me! You promised me forever and always!" I shouted at him. Niall knelt down next to us, pressing down on the wound in Harry's chest.

"Forever Harry! You promised!" I cried, watching the tears run out of Harry's closed eyes and down his cheeks.

"Don't leave me," I whispered, kissing his forehead.

"His gone," I hear Niall whisper, his voice full of tears.

"Forever Harry, I will love you forever," I whisper over and over again, kissing his cheeks, his lips.

"Lizzie, he's gone," Niall says again, touching my shoulder.

"No, no he promised," I say, touching his chest, though there was no heartbeat.
"Don't Harry.. Don't leave me!"

My shoulders were shaking violently as the sobs escaped my mouth. I couldn't believe I have lost him. I have lost the boy I loved since ever.
I cried over the love of my life, clenching to his bloody shirt, Niall holding me as I did, for the first time not able to feel the pain in my heart.


I was sat beside Louis, both are eyes red staring at nothing, seeing nothing. Niall managed to pull me away from Harry's body, carrying me away as I screamed and sobbed. I felt numb. I felt as if I died inside, not able to feel a thing, my friends around me were all slumped against the walls.

We won, but lost, and what a great loss that was.

It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth any of it, and I wished I could go back. I wish I could go back to the day I had saved Harry from the car. I wish I had stayed in town after that, and maybe I would have come to know him earlier, getting more time with him.
My eyes were dry, not able to cry anymore.

Perrie moved to my side, laying her head on my shoulder as she hugged me. I could hear her cry, and feel her tears, but I didn't move, I couldn't. I wish I had died instead, or died too.
I wish I wasn't angry with him, I wish we hadn't promised to stay together, then he wouldn't be breaking his promise to me.

I had one last promise to make though, I promise to remember, I'll remember them both- and it will be for forever, and it will be for always.
