They Don't Know About Us

Don't Wanna Be Reminded, Don't Wanna Be Seen - Chapter 53

*CHLOES POV*
I sit next to Harry and Lou, Harrys arm wrapped protectively around my shoulder, snuggling into his chest. We mirrored Paige and Niall.. Bless them. But of course I'm not pregnant. Though it all seems like our "family" is back together, in one piece, I can feel tention cling to the air. Lou has a look of worry plastered on his now paling features, swiftly walking down the stairs from Shleby's room. Liam followed, looking rather confused himself. As Warm Bodies keeps playing in the background, I close my eyes, snuggling further into Harry's chest as he strokes my hair, hearing Niall and Paige get ready for their next scan. Before they go, the stairs creek, Paige went up to check on Shelby, probably.

My sub-conscious self is awoken rappidly by muffled voices, shuffling from Shelby's room then full on screams. Paige. I hear everyone jolt up, I soon follow, being the first to bolt up the stairs, followed closely with Niall behind, then a slightly confused and dozy Harry, followed by the mumbles and murmurs of the others. Barging in through the door, I gasp, seeing Shelby nocked out, stone cold on her bed. "Shit!" I mutter, looking at the sprawled pills and a crying Paige. Me and Niall rush to her aid, cooing and soothing her shaking form. As Paige regains herself, I step back and glance worridly at Harry, who wraps his firm, large hand in mine. The ambulance soon arrives, carting Shelby out. I can feel a lump rise in my throat, blinking tears away rapidly. The others walk swiftly back downstairs, shocked and speachless.. Though Lou and Liam had faces of pure terror. Harry leads me over to Shelby's bed and cradles me in his arms, the only place where I feel completely safe. Seeming as no one was around, I let my tears stream down my face. Harry sighs, cooing and soothing me. "What's wrong, love?" He asks, I lift my head as he wipes the remaning fresh tears from my eyes. "I-it's always them, Harry! Why them! They're not bad, they've done nothing wrong!" I explain, lowering my brows down into a confused scowl. "I don't know why i'm crying.." Harry stares at me, shocked. Clearing his throat. "Maybe it's the shock? I-I dunno.. Im not good with the whole woman thing." A small smile appears on my lips, reaching up to kiss him. Our lips met softly, caring, kind and safe though the desire and lust hid behind.. Though this wasn't the time to be doing that. Harry chuckles, stroking my cheeks. "That's more like the beautiful Clo I know!" Harry smiles, making me blush. Soon, he leads me downstairs to face the others. "A talk with Paige is what you need."
