Affliction

Chapter 1

sirens.

They were all I could hear. They were everywhere. The flashing red, white and blue lights only making me feel more nauseous than I already was.

People, who were being blocked by yellow tape and cops surrounded the area to see the big scene that was soon to appear.

I had somehow managed to make it pass the barrier but stopped walking when everything just seemed to become so surreal.

The cops, the reporters preparing for their next big story, the super loud sirens and flashing lights that are giving me a major headache. It was a lot to take in.

This can't be happening. Is all I can seem to repeat in my mind. I keep closing my eyes than opening them after a couple seconds in hopes that I might wake up and this would all have been a dream. I tried pinching myself to but all it did was hurt and leave a mark on me.

Just like he did.

So this clearly isn't a dream and so there's no way of escaping this. This is real. This is happening.

Oh my god... this is happening.

"Ma'am are you lost?" I heard someone say from beside me, the same time another cop car came pulling up. I'm surprised I even got here first. You'd think them being officers would be a little quicker. Surprised I wasn't arrested myself for driving so fast but I couldn't help it. The crazy things this guy had me doing for him.

Two cops came out of the car than went around to the back doors of the vehicle.

"Ma'am I'm going to have to ask you to please step back-"

The voice was cut off from my hearing when my eyes landed on him. Handcuffs around both his wrists, head low while both officers held onto him as if to prevent him from running away.

Reporters surrounded them immediately, cops trying to push them away so they could get through.

Oh my god... It's him. This is happening. Oh my god. No, no, no, no, no.

I dont know why but I did the whole closing my eyes than reoping them thing again as if it would somehow work this time. Sadly it didn't. Fuck!

Out of no where his head snapped up really quickly and glared at someone or something, I don't know. But when he did, when I could see his face, my heart stopped for a second.

I don't know what it was, but just the sight of him drawed me in, like a magnet to a fridge. My feet just started walking towards him like they had a mind of their own.

I was bought to a halt when a rough hand grabbed onto my arm.

"Excuse me but you can't-"

"Harry!" I said in a voice that probably wasn't audible with all the noise. My throat felt a bit dry and my voice weak. Probably from all the crying I did on my way here. "Ma'am, please you need to go back-"

"Harry!" I said this time a little more louder but it didn't seem to grab his attention still. "If you don't go behind the line I'm gonna have to-"

"No! Stop, let go of me! I need to speak to him, I need to see him, harry!" I yelled at the person holidng on to me who just so happends to be a police officer.

"Ok Ma'am you can see him but not now, please-"

"NO! LET GO OF ME! I NEED TO SEE HIM NOW! HARRY! HARRY!" I was crying now and trying my best to pull myself out of the officers grip on me.

He heard her this time. He heard her distressed voice that he's heard so many times before. He heard the sweet sound of her cries out for him. He heard her. And when he did he finally averted his gazs towards her. Even through the crowds of people yelling out questions and rude remarks in his face, he still somehow managed to find her without problem. She had that affect on him. No matter what, he could and would always find her. Even in a huge crowd, he always will.

When he saw the cop that was holding on to her with his hands and her struggling to remove herself from him and crying, he got angry. Harry angry was never a good thing.

So of course he reacted out of instinct. He tried to help her. He tried to protect her. He had to protect her. He loved her. And when you see the one person who matters most to you in this messed up world in pain, you go to help them.

But when you're in handcuffs and being held by cops, that can be kind of difficult.

But that didn't stop him.

"y/n" he yelled trying to run over to her but the cops held him back. "y/n" he pratically screamed this time, still using all the strength he had to push away the cops so he could get to her.

I snapped my head aroud so quick when I heard him calling out for me. We made eye contact and suddenly everything around me dissapeared. It was just us. Me and him.

The noise, the lights, the grip on my arm, the raging headache I had. All of it just seemed to have vanished. Like nothing exist in the world anymore. Like it was only us.

The cops were now struggling to hold him in place and other cop were making people back up to keep them away from the raging harry who looked wiled and crazy kicking, screaming and thrashing around trying to lose the grip they had on him. It was a quit a scary sight honestly.

"y/n" he repeatedly shouted at the top of his lungs. "Let go of her! Don't touch her!" Was the repitition he had going on.

I tried my best to try and run over to him but I couldn't. For some reason I couldn't move at all. My whole body just stopped. Like it somehow forgot how to function. I felt a jolt throughout my entire body than my body falling backwards but I was caught by a pair of arms.

For a split second I think it might be Harry but I can see him still trying to fight off cops and screaming.

"Harry..." I could barely speak, my body just felt so limp and I felt so powerless. So tired.

"Har-" I lowely whispered still watching him. My mind telling me to rush over to him but my body disobeying.

I watched as he faded out from my vision and the cops carried him away into the huge building.

The lights were blinding me, turning into huge blobs of colorful lights. Soon the lights slowly faded out of my vision as well.

I remember my last thought being of harry.

I remember last seeing an unfamiliar face hover over me.

I remember feeling so weak and numb that I couldn't move a mustle.

I remember hoping this was all just a nightmare.
