《My Immortals(A One Direction Fanfiction) COMPLETED》Chapter 24

HARRY'S POV
Taylor's hand stung as it collided with my face and the beast inside me was a thread away from breaking loose. I snarled as my fangs came out and I could feel myself losing it. Taylor whimpered and slumped to the floor. Before I had the chance of doing something completely stupid, I turned and ran from the room, small animalistic growls escaping my lips. I ran to the garden, where I could find my piece of mind and take control over the animal.
I snarled to myself as I paced the area like a caged lion. Taylor hit me. She hit me. I told her it was over. It had to be, I love Gwen. Gwen. She looked so much like Chris, if I were to lose Gwen, it'd feel like I was losing Chris all over again. But I can't tell Gwen I love her. Not after all that happened. And what if she rejected me? I couldn't even... Too many feels!
"Harry?" Niall's voice asked. I whipped around to face him and his blue eyes examined my face.
"I think I can meddle with this, since its not relationship, or that's the reading I'm getting..." Niall placed his hand on my chest and I began to feel less angry.
"Harry!" Louis ran over to us.
"Dude, she hit you good!" Louis exclaimed as he ran a finger over where Taylor had hit me.
I mumbled something under my breath and Louis laughed.
"Come on, Harry, calm down."
I sighed as Niall neutralized my emotions and I sat down. He may have taken away the anger, but the pain was still inside. Not pain for Taylor, but for Gwen, and for Chris. Even though Niall tried all he could to help with my grieving for Chris, he couldn't do much since I loved her. Niall can't meddle with love.
I remember how it felt losing Chris. I tried so hard to save her from her dad, but instead, I lead her to another beast. I thought I had gotten to her just in time, when her dad was completely drained and the vampire gone. I held held her in my arms and it just didn't feel as if she could possibly be dying. She deserved so much more in her life. It couldn't end for here there. I held her in my arms as she struggled for every breath. I told her I loved her. And with her dying breath, she told me the words she had never told anyone else, she told me 'I love you.' but I had to try. As tears fell down my face, I bit into her neck, trying to save her. I didn't bite her at first because I was too scared that I'd kill her. But now, determination and love coursed through my veins such as adrenaline does for humans and I knew I had to try. But no matter how many times I bit her, no matter how many times I screamed her name, she was gone. I cried with her body in my arms. But that wasn't the worst part of that night...
I shuddered at the memory. If I were to lose Gwen like that, I wouldn't be able to live anymore. I can't go through that again. I just can't. I would finally break. I would probably lose my sanity. If I lost Gwen, I could end up killing cities! I can't love and then lose again.
Niall and Louis pulled me into a hug without warning, and that's when I realized that I had been crying again.

"Harry, it's going to be okay. I know that break ups hurt, and I'm really sorry it didn't work out with Taylor. There's other girls out there." Niall whispered. Oh God, he doesn't know that I'm crying over Chris and Gwen... He thinks I'm upset over Taylor. I mean, I did love her, but I never felt the way for her as I had felt for Gwen.
"Come on, Harry. Let's go inside. You can talk to the girls. They're good at giving girl advice since they're, well, girls." Louis laughed a tiny laugh and we all walked inside. The boys split off as I walked into the parlor and found the girls all sitting on sofas chatting. All except Gwen and Taylor.
"Hey, Harry!" Eleanor greeted me. I smiled a little before I sat down and they all gathered around me like cows to a feed bucket.
"Harry, we're so sorry things didn't work out with Taylor." Dani murmured. I nodded. I had to get it off my chest.
"I still love Gwen."
Eleanor began jumping up and down whilst clapping her hands while the other two grinned at each other.
"Harry, I think Gwen still loves you, too?"
"How could she? I hurt her so much! How do you know?"
"The airport." Perrie answered.
"What happened at the airport?"
The girls looked at each other and Dani took over.
"Nobody told you? When you were gone, Gwen fell into depression. She lost weight, hardly ever ate or got out of bed, she always woke up screaming. She was the walking dead, Harry. We talked to her the night before you were supposed to come home with the boys. She realized that she still loved you. That night, she called to tell you, but Liam said you were busy... So she waited a few days for you to come home. She dressed up so beautifully, she even bought you flowers. She took a cab to the airport and..."
"And according to her thoughts and the images that were flying through her mind," Eleanor continued, since she could read minds,"She saw you get off the plane with Taylor. She stood there as you two kissed. She dropped your flowers before crawling into the shadows and laying on the floor. She cried as people walked past her. She had no way of getting home, since we had thought you two would make up. But two guys found her and took her here. Harry, can't you tell? She's been really torn up about it. Seeing you with Taylor must have been absolute hell for her!"
I stared at them in disbelief. Gwen came to the airport to tell me she loves me? And I put her through all this hell? Every time I kissed Taylor? Every time I held Taylor's hand, I was ripping her heart out?
"But it's not too late, Harry!!! Go tell her you love her!"
"Yeah, Harry! Tell her!"
"Tell her, tell her, tell her!" they chanted. I held up a hand.
"Alright, alright! I'm going!" I left the room and ran up the stairs, my heart pumping with nervousness. Gwen made me feel human. She gave me human emotions. She gave me my life back. I couldn't find it in me to knock. I opened the door, ready to tell her how much I love her, when I saw what was going on and a knife cut my heart to pieces. I quickly shut the door and ran to my room. I broke down as I slumped to the floor. Why? Why?! Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't I have told her earlier? Now, she's in there snogging one of my best mates.

GWEN'S POV
At first, the kissing was amazing, but then it started to feel weird. I felt like I was kissing my best friend, which I technically was. It felt so weird and I wasn't sure if I liked it. Niall carefully pulled away, and he frowned his eyebrows while looking at me.
"That was weird..." He muttered before pressing his lips to mine again, as if he were testing something. That's when I felt it. A tiny shock that made me jerk away from him.
"What was that?"
"I dunno...? Nerves? Maybe it'll go away once we become more of a couple...?" Niall suggested. I shrugged.
I really didn't know what it was.
"So anyways... I probably should've asked before I kissed you, but will you be my princess, Gwen?"
I smiled, knowing Niall was asking me out.
"Only if you'll be my knight in shining armor." He smiled his signature smile and we kissed again, only to be shocked by electricity again.
"Ow!" I whined and Niall laughed. He took my hand in his and I could feel the slight electricity running through our fingertips.
"Now come on, let's get some dinner," He said with a smile, slightly tugging on my hand. we walked out of the room and Niall slightly tensed but kept walking until we reached the kitchen.
We walked in and found everyone standing in there, all except Harry. They were all chatting amongst themselves and when we walked in, the girls' conversation immediately seized as their eyes took in Niall's and my linked hands. Eleanor's mouth formed an 'o' as she stood and immediately ran from the room. Dani gave me a slight smile before she took off, following Eleanor's footsteps. I gave Perrie a confused look and she pursed her lips before she too, ran off in a hurry. Everyone who was left in the room looked just as confused as I was.
"Louis! Get your butt up here!" Louis held up his hands and cast a glance at the ceiling before he heaved a sigh and ran up to join the girls.
"What's going on?" Taylor voiced what we were all thinking and we responded with a shrug. We took our seats at the table, eating silently as we pondered what had just happened.
HARRY'S POV
I couldn't take it in. I couldn't handle the fact that I had lost the one I love again. I love Gwen, I love her so much! I felt the tears welling in my eyes and I pressed my face to my knees. I know, tough Harry Styles from One Direction doesn't cry, but normal Harold Styles does. Everybody cries, it shows that no matter how horrible we are, a part of us is still human. A part of us can love, can hurt, can feel. I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all, because if I hurt, then that means that I did and still do, love Gwen. And God, did it hurt. I felt as if a beast had violently ripped my still beating heart from my chest and devoured it before my very eyes as I drew my last breath.
"Harry!" Eleanor exclaimed as she ran in and wrapped her arms around me. I didn't move, I was too far gone to move.
"Harry? Are you okay?" Dani asked me. I still sat as if I had seen Medusa's face and was petrified.
"Guys?" Perrie's voice called as she ran into the room.
"What's going on?" Louis's voice echoed as he too ran in. Well it's j.at a freaking party now, isn't it?! Yay!!!
"Harry? What happened?" I couldn't even move. My whole body was numb. I could only feel the mental pain of losing Gwen. I felt my chest constricting as my breathing ceased. There was so much pain that I was suffocating. This can't happen. Not again.
"Oh God! Louis, he's not breathing!"
Louis pushed me flat on my back and pushed Eleanor up to him.
"Mouth to mouth!" He called. Eleanor gave him a look before she pressed her mouth to mine and blew air into me. I could feel it moving through my body, but I couldn't feel the relief. All I could feel was the pain attacking me. I could see Gwen'a face repetitively flashing before my eyes. Eleanor pulled away after several puffs and I could feel my body continue the actions. But it still hurt so much. I was paralyzed by the mental overload.
"Someone turn on a cold shower!" Perrie instructed, and Dani turned on the shower. Louis hauled me up and shoved me into the cold stream, clothes and all. When the water hit, I jerked, able to move again. But instead of moving from the stream, I curled into a ball and began to sob. They shut off the water before wrapping a towel around me. Eleanor tossed Louis some dry clothes of mine and he put them on the sink.
"Change into some dry clothes, and then we'll talk." He patted me on the back before they all left the room. My body robotically carried out the procedure while my mind blanked out.
I shuffled into the main room and Perrie draped a blanket over my shoulders. Dani hands me a Coke, so the sugar will help with the nerves and shock, and Eleanor tucks me into my bed. They all gather around me and I feel like I'm about to be interrogated for a crime.
"Harry, what happened?"
"I-I-I went to t-tell Gwen that I s-s-still love her and I c-caught her and Niall snogging." I whispered.
"What?!" They exclaimed.
"Oh my God, Harry, we're so sorry!" Dani exclaimed as she hugged us.
"Harry, technically, you two were Splitsville- ow!" Perrie said before someone kicked her.
"Talk to Niall, maybe he can work this out!" Dani suggested.
"But what about Gwen? What if she's happy with Niall?" Perrie exclaimed.
"Harry, you need to tell Gwen how you feel and let her decide. And if it's meant to be, then it'll happen and nothing can keep you apart!"
"Are you sure?"
All the girls nodded while Louis shrugged.
"The sooner the better!" Eleanor announced.
I nodded. "Thanks guys. See us later, I'm really tired." they all left as I snuggled into the blankets and began to cry. Sleep overtook me as I cried. I just can't take any more heart break today.
A/N omg, poor Harry! Did I arouse any feels from you? And what happened to Harry after he failed in saving Chris? What's going to happen next? The world may never know!!! Jk, but you'll find out soon. Because I received so much feed back, I uploaded early today!!! Yay! And if I get quick responses, I'll update at least one more time today!

Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
