Unexpected [H.S.]

Chapter Twenty Two - Can I See Him?

(Anna's POV)

What did I think when Harry came into my room and I woke up to him hovering over me crying? I thought I was dreaming. It was just like a dream, one of the many I've had of him apologizing. Telling me he was sorry, and he couldn't believe he had done this to me. Only this time it wasn't a dream, it was real. Harry was apologizing, he was crying and holding me, he was sorry. I saw it in his eyes when he looked at me. Guilt and hatred. But this time he hated himself instead of me. So what was going on inside my head? Everything. My mind was scrambled, I didn't known if I should be afraid or happy. Happy that he was finally my Harry, or afraid because he was in the process of loosing his mind. I didn't know. Then Zayn came into the room and punched Harry he didn't fight back, didn't scream, didn't really do anything. That's when I knew he was trying to control himself, and for the first time in a long time I wanted Harry to stay in the room with me. Yeah I know I'm crazy, maybe it's the pain or the drugs they have me on but I just wanted Harry in that moment. Maybe it was because he was my Harry, the one that I fell in love with, the one that I wanted to spend my entire life with.

When I tried to get off of the bed, all I wanted to do was stop Zayn from yelling at Harry. I could barely talk and with the screaming no one would be able to hear me try. Harry noticed first but Zayn pushed him out of the way to get me. Another moment when Harry didn't fight back. "Don't get up! Are you trying to kill yourself" he lays me back down gently, but I'm still reminded of what happened by the pain that radiates through my spine. Even through the pain I try to stop them "s-st-top fighting" of corse that doesn't work though. Zayn orders Harry around and Harry looses it a little, but it all came to a stop when Ezra bursts through the doors. Everything calmed down, Ez carefully crawled into bed with me (after I begged him) and I started to relax. That is until Louis came in. My body tensed which caused my wounds to hurt like hell, then Ezra started. I seriously thought he was going to beat the shit out of Louis but... the unexpected happened Louis was being nice.

Seriously though, what's up with this hospital? Is it like another dimension or something? Because Harry and Louis are two totally different people in here. Maybe this is a dream. A knock on the door makes Louis jump "Ms. Payne, nice to see your awake" a woman says as she comes in the room and smiles "I'm Doctor Claire, I'll be taking care of you" she looks at Ezra and smiles "ah Mr. Harrington, glad to see your feeling better" "much thanks" I look at him questionably and he laughs "they kind of had to sedate me for a bit" Doctor Claire comes up to me and says "hold on to this one Annabella" I smile and nod in agreement "ok boys I need to have a look at Annabella's injuries. If you two will step out please" I grab her hand "t-they can s-stay" she nods "alright, Mr. Harrington is going to have to get off of the bed though" she smiles and Ezra gets down.

(Louis' POV)

When Anna said 'they' could stay it was a little shocking. I've done a lot of bad things to her, A LOT. After I watched her almost die though it kind of opened my eyes to what was going on. It's different watching someone get brutally beaten than it is doing the beating. Her pleads for help and screams from pain are still in my head, I can't imagine going through what she did... what she has been going through. It made me feel horrible that I was a part of it. I did anything Harry told me to, and at the time, enjoyed it. Anna was my friend before Harry was and I completely let her down when she needed me most. I hurt her in so many ways "Louis are you ok?" Ezra asks "Yeah I'm fine." The doctor is still examining Anna and she's doing surprisingly well. Only whimpers here and there, which is good because if Harry heard her scream... Bye bye doctor Claire. "Alright Ms. Payne, everything looks good for now. Rest up, ok" after she leaves Ezra goes back into bed with her. Theres just one question that is still bugging me though, why did she let me stay? I need to ask "hey Anna" she looks at me "why did you let me stay?" "y-you didn't let-t him k-kill me" she croaks out, I get up and walk over to her "I couldn't let him do it, I've never seen you get hurt before" Ezra shoots me a look "I meant by someone else" I put my hand on hers "look I just- uh- what I'm trying to say is-" "I-It's ok" she smiles "no it's not, I was just as bad, if not worse, to you than Harry" I go to sit back down and when I look back up she's asleep. Ezra chuckles "Louis the one thing I know about her is she forgives easily, she told you it's ok, let it go mate" "how do I let that go?" He sits up "your sorry right?" I nod "feel guilty?" "Bloody hell, yes I feel guilty" "then your not like Harry. He's never felt any of those things, or said he's sorry... Just don't hurt her again" "I won't" he nods and lays back down.
