* Three Days Later*

*Leigh's POV*

I walked down the hallway slowly, the darkness surrounding me like a blanket as my feet padded across the cold floor. My eyes barely having adjusted to the sudden absence of light.

Quickly, I through my hand behind me, reaching out for Isa's small hand. Only for me to feel nothing but the cold stale air surrounding me.

Where was she?

"Isa!" I called out repeatedly, frightened at the realization that she was lost in this darkness.

"Leigh." My spine tingling instantly.

"Leigh." It called again, its voice dripping with malice, the smell of stale alcohol suddenly filling my nostrils, an all too familiar feeling.

"Leigh." The voice darkly cooed for a third time. My body coiling at the sound.

I felt a strong pair of hands on my shoulders suddenly, causing me to spin around defensively, my grey orbs instantly connecting with a mirror image of themselves.

My fathers eyes.

*Harry's POV*

I let myself in with the spare house key, wondering why Leigh hadn't answered her phone this late in the morning. I was leaving for tour this after noon, and we planned on spending the morning together.

My eyes were locked on the kitchen table, filled with vases of red roses, her fathers gifts still showing up daily. I could feel my blood boiling at the site. My anger consuming me.

"Lee?" I called out cautiously, slipping my blazer off as I went through the house. My senses high as I took in the empty surroundings.

"No! No!" A voice boomed, causing me to pause, my ears tuning into the sound.

"NO!" The voice cried again, Leigh's voice. Filled with nothing but sheer panic.

"Leigh?!" I called out, running up the stairs and down the hallway. My heart picking up speed at the sound of her voice.

"Leigh!" I yelled again, shoving her bedroom door open.

Only to find her in bed, her body thrashing everywhere, her voice echoing through the room. Repeating the same simple word.

No.

Quickly, I sat on her bed, my hands softly pushing her shoulders down.

"Lee, lee, Baby wake up." I murmured shaking her gently.

She shook her head fiercely. Her subconscious refusing to let her slip away.

"Hazza?! Isa?!" She yelled out now, her eyes still shut as she thrashed in my grip, her voice filled with confusion now.

"Leigh. Leigh, babe I'm right here." I murmured again, shaking her roughly this time, panic starting to rush through my veins.

Slowly, her eyes began to flutter, her grey orbs visible now as she opened her eyes. Fear written plainly across her face.

"Ha-Hazza? Wheres- Wheres isa?" Her voice boomed now as she sat up abruptly, her hair flying every direction as her head shook swiftly, trying to get a grip on her surroundings.

"Shh, sssh, Isa's asleep. It was just a dream Lee." I whispered, bringing her into my embrace.

She stayed silent, her face buried in the crook of my neck as she slowed her breathing. My heart clenching at the beat of her heart as it fluttered, her pulse beating faster than ever before.

I knew the flowers were getting to her mentally. I just hadn't knowm they had begun to take THIS large of a toll on her.

And that.

The simple fact that she was this frightened by her father.

Made me hate myself.

I hated myself for not being able to stay here with her. For not being able to protect her.

Ever since I had met Leigh, I felt as if I could overcome anything.

But seeing her this terrified, the sudden emotions consumed me, pumping from my very core and through my veins. My heart aching at the realization.

The feeling of being absolutely powerless.
