It's Kinda Crazy Really [L.S.]

The 5th of September, 2020(it's like 1 am)

Harry's POV

I wake up from Emma stirring in her sleep next to me. Louis and I stayed the night in the hospital with her. He's on the couch, Em wouldn't let me go, so I stayed on the bed. I look back to my sleeping sister. I can tell she's having a nightmare by the way her eyes are moving behind her eyelids. She's muttering incomprehensible words and she stirs around. I shake her lightly to wake her up but she gets more restless the more I try.

"It's just a dream baby girl, come on wake up," I whisper as I continue to wake her up. She stays asleep. I repeat myself a little louder and accidentally wake Lou. I keep my focus on Emma as I see tears slip down her cheeks. "Come on baby girl wake up, it's just a dream," I urge again. She wakes up with a jolt. She looks around the room frantically until her eyes land on mine. She relaxes a bit before curling into me. I hold her to my chest as she cries again.

"I had the dream again," she sobs out. I hold her closer and kiss the top of her head. "They're just dreams, right? You're actually here, this is actually real, right?" she asks frantically into my chest. I feel myself tearing up at her words of distress.

"I'm actually here, this is reality baby girl. I'm not going anywhere permanently. Please believe me when I say that I love you so much and I'm not going anywhere," I swear to her. She looks up at me her eyes screaming for help and her face is washed with uncertainty. My tears fall at her state.

"Really?" she asks for confirmation. I close my eyes as I look towards the ceiling, regaining my composure.

"Yes, I promise," I say looking into her eyes.

Emma nods at my previous statement, but I still see that she's uncertain. I pull her back into my chest and rock side to side. She's just sixteen and the world has already broken her. I just want to hold her and put all her beautiful pieces back together. She trusts me, more than others, but she still has doubt. I just wish there was a way to show her that not everyone is the same and that I will always be here. She deserves the world and more, and I would give it to her if I could.

I feel her breaths even out and I finally let my tears fall completely. I look to Louis over her shoulder and I can see his watering eyes gleaming in the moonlight. I watch as he makes his way to the bed. He sits down and wraps his arm around me from behind as the night goes on. I feel my eyes getting heavy and I slump against his chest as I fall asleep.

Emma's POV

I wake up to the sound of a camera going off. I open my eyes to see Mollie standing with her phone in front of her in slight panic from the sound.

"Mollie, what the fuck?" I groan while covering my eyes with the blanket.

"The three of you just looked so adorable, I couldn't resist," she excuses. I look around the bed confused until I spot Louis curled up into Harry's other side. I smile slightly and look up at Harry. He's on his back holding me with his right arm as I lay half on his chest. On his other side is Louis in the same position, just slightly higher up his chest. I feel Haz stir underneath me and watch as he looks confused at the ceiling. I giggle and sit up as realization washes his face. He leans his head down and kisses Louis's head and reaches up to ruffle my hair. He looks up at me concerned and that's when the events from last night come back. I look down at my hands that are now fiddling with each other.

He puts his index finger under my chin and makes me look at him. "Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of. We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but I meant every word I said," he assures me. I nod my head and smile a small smile. I turn my head to Mollie and she looks slightly confused. I give her a look that says 'drop it' and she does.
