Gotta Be You [Complete]

Chapter 23

Harry’s POV

Today was the day. Today was the day that we’re going to tell Isla everything.

Me, Niall and Isla were in the car heading to the hospital to get some last tests done on Isla to see if she was fully healed. 

I was feeling many emotions right now. I was anxious about finding out whether Isla was all healed and better. I was beginning to feel worried about when we'd have to tell Isla the whole truth. I was feeling really nervous knowing that Isla might break up with me if we tell her the truth. But I was feeling optimistic that Isla would still want to be with me after all of this. 

I had attempted to give her the best week of her life. The last week we had together before we had to tell her the truth. I have taken her to a romantic dinner every night. We went to a carnival. We went to the movies. We went on picnics in the park. And then we’d go lie under the stars and talk about anything and everything.

~Flashback~

We were lying on a blanket in our backyard. The stars were out and silence surrounded us.

Isla was resting her head on my chest, with her arms wrapped around my body and our legs tangled up. I was rubbing her arm with my one hand and running my other hand gently in her hair. 

“Sing to me, Harry.” 

I smiled and rested my lips on the top of her head. 

“What song?” 

I felt her shrug and say, “surprise me.” 

“Ok. Hmmm.” I began thinking of the perfect song to sing to her. And then I remember the song that played on our first date.

“Settle down with me

Cover me up

Cuddle me in

Lie down with me

And hold me in your arms

And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck

I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love

We're falling in love

Settle down with me

And I'll be your safety

You'll be my lady

I was made to keep your body warm

But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms

Oh no

My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck

I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love
