Deception

Chapter 39: Endless

Previously in Deception:

HARRY'S POV

I hold my mom in my arms, as she weeps into my chest, careful not to rest her head on my left shoulder.

"It's okay Mom. I understand." I whisper after minutes of talking and I do. I am angry and I always will be angry at her for the things she has done but somehow I understand.

"She's waiting for you." She finally whispers and I was waiting to hear that. But I knew it was important to talk to my mom.

"She's okay right?" I whisper, my eyes wide. My mom smiles and wipes her tears.

"I'll go get her." My mom stands but I grab her hand.

"I want to see her first. I think you can wheel me over there. They just don't want me walking yet." I say and my mom nods, helping me into the wheelchair by the bed.

I think of Charlie's lips and the feel of her skin. I think of smashing my lips against hers. The officers told me that Gary was killed. Charlie did it.

She actually did it.

My mom rolls me carefully down the hallways and just thought of Charlie makes the pain in my shoulder go away. I shouldn't even be awake right now but I can't help it. I have to see her. I don't care about how many drugs I am on. I have to see Charlie.

CHARLIES POV

"Niall, please, you don't understand.

"You never gave me a chance Charlie." He says and I look up to meet his eyes.

"What do you mean?" I whisper but I regret asking. Without hesitating he presses his lips to mine. I immediately squirm away but it wasn't quick enough.

"You fucking bastard." Harry breathes at the door as his mom tries to hold him back, but he pushes back the wheelchair with anger as he stands up and strides toward us.

Chapter 39

"No Harry stop!" I scream. He doesn't bother listening as he slams his fist in Niall's right eye. Anne lets out a horrific scream from behind as I cover my eyes.

I know there is no stopping these boys...because they aren't just fighting over me.

They're fighting over Julia.

Anne steps forward as Niall strikes Harry in the chin but I shake my head at her.

"They won't stop." I say and she scurries out the door to get a doctor.

"Please." I whimper, sitting up from my bed but I am literally watching a whole wrestling match now.

Harry grabs a lock of Niall's neck and pulls him upward. "What is it with me Niall? You hate me so much that you have to take away my damn happiness? You're a pathetic excuse of a man." Harry grunts, slamming Niall's face down. Niall recovers by pushing himself up and kicking harry in the side. He moans and falls over, giving Niall the chance to stand.

"No, Harry." Niall shakes his head looking down at the curly headed boy laying on the cold tiles.

"Im the hero here, youre the villain. You don't love her, just like you didn't love Julia. You arent supposed to hurt the ones you love." Niall breathes. Harry 's eye light with fire as he throws himself upward and slams Niall against the wall. When I hear a the echo of a crack, I stand up.

"Harry!" I shout but he wont listen. He wont meet my eyes.

"She doesn't know what a monster you are; what you have done to girls." Niall chokes out and I watch Harry squeeze harder.
