That Girl: Chapter 22

--------------Recap---------------

'I love you, and I can't be without you. Would you do the honer of being my girlfriend?'

I couldn't speak.

My mouth wasn't moving.

What do I say?

Oh god.

No.

Why now?

Harry's POV

'I love you, and I can't be without you. Would you do the honer of being my girlfriend?' I asked

I was currently on my knees in front of her to keep level with her face. I knew it was pointless as she couldn't see me because of those damn bandages but I didn't care.

After the accident the boys and girls helped me with planning a surprise for her. We all thought that after such shitty memories with her since we appeared in her life she deserved something to remember us by. But the boys being the boys made subtle, well, not so subtle comments on our "awfully close relationship" as Louis put it with a perverted smirk. I therefore ended up telling everyone in the room how I felt about her and they decided that I should take the plunge.

So, here I am....asking her in the cheesiest way possible if she would be my girlfriend.

When I asked her the question I couldn't see her eyes but I could see her smile drop. What? Did I do something wrong? Oh no. I knew this wasn't a good idea, I've only gone and ruined the friendship and given her another dilemma. Well done Harry.

'Clara?' I asked timidly. I don't want to lose her, girlfriend or not. I need her.

'H-Harry' she stuttered and sniffed whilst shaking her head.

'What' I sighed out of annoyance that I didn't know what was wrong 'what is it? I can wait...I can...I ca-'

'Harry stop.' She interrupted 'just....not now, please.'

I was so confused. I looked up at everyone and they all looked guilty and sympathetic whilst looking down on my now trembling body.

'I need' she tried to take in a deep breath to calm her breathing that was going all over the place 'I need to get back to my room' she said finally and got up.

Without thinking I jumped to her side to aid her.

'NO! Harry. I don't need your help. I'm fine.' She insisted. I let her go feeling helpless. I don't understand.

As she walked curiously into the unknown Liam brushed past me and stabilised her.

'GET OFF ME!!! I SAID I DONT NEED ANY OF YOUR HELP!!!' She yelled suddenly and yanked her arm out of Liam's grasp.

'But you can't see-'

'I DONT CARE LIAM!!! I CAN DO IT MYSELF!!! IM NOT TOTALLY USELESS LIKE YOU ALL THINK I AM!!' She bellowed and tentatively made her way up the stairs and feeling for the corners and steps.

She was gone, well. She was upstairs. But to me, she was gone. I don't know what set her off. It was obviously me but I don't understand what I did wrong.

I turned round to the boys and girls looking and feeling clueless. Lexi, had somehow explained herself to the girls and was somewhat accepted back into the group. In fact, she came up with the idea of how to ask Clara out.

Everyone looked away and avoided making eye contact with me.

'WHAT?!' I snapped

'Harry, loo-' Zayn started and began to walk in my direction but I cut him off.
