Run(a)Way S.T

We landed in England. It is late morning, and Liam claimed he has managed to keep us being here quiet for now.
I still have trouble understanding the infatuation of the people with the monarchy.
A car takes us straight to my old flat I used to share with Zoe. I wish I had some of my old clothes with me, however I only own tight dresses which were picked out by people who were hired just for the purpose of dressing me.
Once we unload our bags we head back out to the car, to head to 'In Style'.
I get in the back with Liam and Zoe. Luke follows in after, while Niall takes the passenger seat beside the driver. There is another car in back of us with Louis and another detail.
I am impatient and nervous to see Harry, especially when he doesn't know I am coming. It is almost 2pm when we reach 'In Style' and Liam sensing my restlessness takes my hand in his. I lean my head on his shoulder collecting strength from him.
"Ready?" He whispers to the top of my head. He presses his lips to my hair before nudging me up. Niall and Luke are already out checking our surroundings, joined by Louis and the other detail.
We are rushed into the building and once inside our body guards fall behind giving us space.
I decide to stop by my old office and see Lila before facing Harry.
I knock slightly before pushing the door open.
"Hiya," I whisper.
Lila takes a double glance before letting out a high pitched screech of excitement. Her chair falls in a crash as she jumps up to hug me.
"Oh my gosh you are actually here!" She gushes squeezing me to death. My emotions get the best of me as I tear up cuddling her back.
"I missed you Lila," I tell her.
"Oh darling.. I've missed you too! Don't cry," She wipes my escaping tears away.
"Harry will die when he sees you- look how stunning you are! His heart will stop beating straight away," she claims.
"Hello Lila," Liam calls. Lila notices the rest of my travel squad. She blushes a deep red when she realizes she has ignored the crown prince.
"How are you Liam?" She questions.
"Lila! I want a hug too!" Zoe shouts and moves me out of the way to get to Lila.
"You missy should hang out with me! The fact that Ellie isn't here doesn't mean we can't be friends anymore," Lila scolds her.
"You're absolutely right!" Zoe agrees kissing Lila nosily on the cheek.
"How long are you here for then?" Lila questions.
"It depends.." I mumble, glancing over at Liam.
"Have you seen him yet?" She asks softly. I shake my head.
"I know for a fact they are photo shooting right now.. why don't you head up?" She offers. I look around at my old office before turning to leave.
"The girls and I will wait here, Niall and Luke can follow you up," Liam decides and I nod.
I exit the room and pad towards the photo shoot room for 'In Style'. Niall who picks up on my nervousness stays close while Luke steps behind me. I walk into the room slowly and silently. Mika and Harry are stood very close to each other, lips almost touching while Mika's palm is placed on Harry's cheek. I breathe in sharply telling myself it's only a photo shoot, no need to get jealous.
"Ellie!" Mika rips away from Harry running over in her impossible high heels and flinging her arms around me. I hug her back not able to get a smile on my face since my eyes lock with Harry's. He is watching me as Mika talks and talks about everything and anything.
"Have you seen Anne yet? She'll be so happy you're here! Come!" Mika pulls me out. I let her, my gaze staying locked on Harry. He is still stood in place, jaw clenched watching after me. Niall sends Harry a disapproving glance before him and Luke follow us out.
Once we are out Mika takes my hand and gives it a light squeeze.
"Give him time.. He will come around," she whispers.
"He hates me.." I reply dryly.
"No... That’s just it.. He loves you.. He is surprised that you're here which is why he is acting this way," she claims before knocking on Anne's closed office door.
Taylor opens the door. When she sees me she smiles kindly and moves out of the way letting me head in.
"Eleanor! What a lovely surprise," Anne breaks into a wide smile. She gets up and walks around her desk to greet me.
"How are you?" I hug her back.
"Missing you, cannot find a decent designer anywhere," she claims, offering me a seat. I take it. Mika excuses herself leaving us alone with Niall and Luke at the entrance.
"Anne.. I want you to know.. I had no idea they would ask about Harry, or that they even knew about that night! I mean.. Those questions were supposed to have been monitored," the words fly out quickly before she'll have the chance to stop me.
"Eleanor, please. I know all about it.. I had my own people who looked into it and Harry telling me all you told him," she lays an assuring hand on my knee.
"So you don't hate me?" I inquire hopefully.
"Oh sweet child.. No I don't and neither does my son for that matter.. You just need to give him some time," she tries to sooth me.
I nod hoping she is right.
We chat for a while longer before Liam is at the door asking for me. I bid my goodbye and after promising to keep in touch make my way out to Liam.
"What is it?" I question, not missing the look of distress on his face.
"We've been made.. The press knows we're here," he replies in a low tone.
"Well we knew it would be a matter of time," I point out.
"Yes but it happened much faster than I thought it would," he answers.
"How crowded is the entrance?" I inquire, knowing the pap's will not be far.
"Not long until it would be impossible to leave.. We need to exit now," Niall states. I nod and start pacing after them. I glance back wishing I could see Harry one last time before leaving. I am shown to the waiting car with its tinted windows. We are off in a fast drive leaving the growing press outside the building behind.
"I wish there was a way to punish King Dick for putting you through this!" Liam growl angrily.
"There is a way!" I suddenly sit up straighter. I catch his arm in sudden excitement.
"We need to separate though," I tell him.
"No Ellie.. I cannot allow that," He declines.
"Well you must! You need to get back to the press and give an interview. . You need to tell the world how wonderful king dick is.. That he dropped the charges against my parents and granted them full access to my life, thankful for taking such good care of me," I explain. A smile starts to spread on his lips.
"And where would you be going while this is happening?" He questions.
"Isn't it obvious? To my mum and dad," I grin.
Liam gets out when the car stops and gets in the car that is behind us, occupied by Louis.
It is a long drove to mum and dad's house but the time doesn't bother me. I finally found a way to get pass the tyranny that was brought upon them by my birth father, so I spend the ride trying to figure out how to fix my relationship with Harry. His mum said he needs time, however I cannot grant him that time. I need him now, while I'm here, before I am sent back home and it would be too late.
We finally get to my home. I step out of the car, not before Niall and Luke have a look around making sire it is safe for me to exit. The house is dark, the curtains pulled closed. I hesitate since it's very unlike my mother to leave the house locked up with no air coming in.
I pad up the walkway to the front door and try and open it. It's locked.
I knock, keeping my ear to the door trying to hear in. There is nothing. I dig into my purse to fish out my house key. Once the keys are in my hand I try and fit it in the lock. It takes me time, my fingers trembling. Something is wrong, I can feel it. A hand closes over mine. I look up and gasp. I recoil back by surprise, hitting my back to the door.
"W-what are you doing here?" I stutter.
Harry rolls his eyes as he gets the door to open and pushes it wide, holding it for me.
However, I do not move, too confused of him showing up to remember how to work my legs. Harry lets out a huff before reaching out and tugging on my arm pulling me after him. I glance over at Niall who clenches his jaw but doesn't say anything to Harry.
Once Luke and Niall are in, they close and lock the door.
Harry pulls me to the lounge and pushes me down onto the sofa. I stumble down while he continues walking to the window, his hand brushing his hair in annoyance.
"That is the last time you ever handle the princess this way!" Niall commands him angrily.
Harry sends him a frown before his eyes shift to mine.
"Why are you here Eleanor?" He demands to know. The first thing he says to me is to ask why I'm here? I feel my face flush in anger and hurt. Is this it? All he has to say?
"Why are you here Ellie?" He questions again. This time his voice slightly softer.
"I came to visit mum and dad," I whisper.
"I saw the interview Liam gave. . Came up with that yourself?" A hint of a smirk on his lips.
"It was a good way to get back at king dick and get to see my parents," I finally speak up.
"Well yeah.. I guess you're right," he replies.
"Why are you here?" I inquire.
"I knew you'd come here the moment I saw the interview.. I didn't want you coming back to an empty home," he shrugs.
"Where are they Harry?" I find it hard to talk, fear drowning my senses.
"You dad got really sick.. Your mum is with him in the hospital," He answers in a low voice.
"Oh my gosh! No! I must go now! How wasn't I told??" I exclaim chocking on my fear.
I'm hectic and restless wanting nothing more to get out of this house and to mum and dad.
"Come.. I'll drive you," Harry decides.
I nod at Niall and follow Harry. Niall will be following right behind.
Once I close the car door, Harry puts the car in drive and takes off.
"Liam! I'm on my way to the hospital.. My dad," the tears slide down my cheeks now and I'm consumed with horror and sadness for my parents.
I feel Harry reach for my hand, folding his fingers with mine. I let him comfort me even though all I want is to scream at him for leaving me.
"Ellie! I'm so sorry! Which hospital? I'm on my way!" Liam promises.
I look up at Harry as I wipe at my eyes. He gives my hand a squeeze not letting go and I'm grateful. I know we have much to talk about, but him being here with me in such a time says it all.
