Rosie's POV

I gripped onto Niall's arm as we walked along the humid sidewalks.

People could be heard, screaming, and cars erupted with loud honks. You could say this wasn't the best neighborhood...

I feel scared every time I take a step. Every action made me jump. Every noise made me shutter. Every movement made me feel even more terrified.

I shouldn't have done this...this was a bad idea.

I can still remember the times El and I had when we were outside. Every tree or flower or car reminded me of her....and I can't take it.

I feel tears trying to burst out as. I reexamine my life right now. Never did I think I would ever end up like this.

I never thought I would be this 'close' I guess you could say with a group of muscular, tattooed guys who belong in a gang.

I never would've thought El would be in love with one of them. I never would've thought she would end up dead either....I don't know. I've always thought I would...

Niall wrapped an arm around my waist, sensing my nerves. Thoughts ran through my mind. Horrible thoughts that I wish I could get rid of....but I just can't.

"Relax You're with us." He whispered into my ear. I giggled as he grazed his lips under my ear, lightly tickling that spot.

"I'm just nervous about last time." I whispered back. He nodded and kissed my forehead before looking over his shoulder.

I jumped as a loud car horn honked in front of us. I guess neither of us were focusing..

I feel....everything. And. I. Hate. It.

---

I jogged to my room, and slipped under the covers after stripping to my bra and underwear. Even if we were out for a day..I'm exhausted.

I just want to lay here, in bed, all day and night and hide under the covers until El comes back. And I know that will never happen either.

I shuddered as wind blew in through the open window. Only a dim lamp lit the room as the night's noises filled the room.

I enjoyed being alone...it gave me time to think. I've always enjoyed only my company, with El being the exception, and I've always functioned better that way. I understand myself, know myself, get myself. Three things that I feel like I need to know to survive.

I Pulled the oddly taut blankets closer to my chest, then to have them pulled down again. I repeated this process, getting annoyed with myself and the inanimate object.

I turned onto my back, and yanked the blankets one more time, and find them completely stuck. I groan and sit up.

I just wanted to sleep and think...which I normally do, but I feel lost without El. I need her.

I rubbed my eyes and opened them to see a hunched figure at the end of my bed. "Glad to see you up." He smiled wickedly, revealing brown and yellow teeth. He reeked of alcohol and smoke drifted put to the ceiling as he stomped out his cigarette on the floor.

He gave me an uneasy feeling...and I didn't like it. At all.

"Harry! Niall!" I screeched at the top of my lungs. He lunged forward and pinned me down, covering my mouth in the process.

I thrashed and moved as much as I could. I screamed into his dry, rough hand until my throat hurt. I finally gave up when I realized it was no use....he's so much stronger.

Panic hit me like a large, grey wave and flooded through me, making me shake. He sat on top of me, making me incapable of movement. I hate being restrained...I feel helpless. I am helpless.

At this point I'm too tired to fight while he just sat there and watched me struggle. It infuriated me that he could do this.

I felt like I had no energy left. I'm physically and mentally tired and I literally have no strength. Whatever this was, whoever this was, had won. Won whatever sick game this was.

He shifted, and leaned over to pick something up. His nasty smell filled my nose. His smell gave me strength though...something, no it had to be.

I know that smell anywhere. It's imprinted in my head to know it, and thank God it is.

I brought my knee up with a sudden outburst if energy and kneed him in the gut, making him groan in pain, falling off the bed. He pulled me with him and. I landed with a thud.

El was making me strong. She always had, and always will. Within this short dilemma, I realized two things; always lock your windows and always remember your best friends perfume.

Cause I doubt he's buying it.
