5 Idiots and Me

Chapter 28

Hey readers!

I told you all I'm ending this book in a few chapters... but I changed my mind. I keep you guys hanging way too much because I'm so busy it's hard for me to update. So, this is the last chapter; there's not going to be an epilogue. I just want to thank all my readers that still read my story and thank everyone that has supported my story for almost two years I think.

Thanks! So without further ado...

*Drumroll*

The last chapter of 5 Idiots and Me

Chapter 28: Chelsea's POV

I could feel my heart pounding. "Well, what really happened was-"

I held my hand up, feeling like I would have a heart attack any second. "How do I know you're telling the truth?"

Harry frowned. "Well, is there a reason you couldn't?"

My heart sunk. I mean, he didn't do anything to make me not trust him... "No," I said, "Continue, sorry."

Harry nodded and gave me a look that said not to interrupt again. I took a deep breath a settled comfortably in the couch. "As you know, I was hurt," Harry swallowed, "During our date. And you know I was in the hospital."

I nodded. "And, all of a sudden Louis bursts into my room and tells me you were... in the hospital, unconscious. Do you know how worried I was Chels? You were in the hospital and I couldn't do anything. I couldn't see you because the stupid nurses said I could still have the effects of the concussion that could hurt me again. I wanted to see you so badly, just to see if you were alright and nothing bad happened to you. I was so scared."

Harry took a breath and looked down at his feet. He looked so sad, I wanted to hold him so bad and comfort him. But I stayed on my side of the sofa and squeezed my hands into tight fists. Harry took another breath and continued. "And when I was in bed, mentally hitting myself because I didn't fight enough with the nurses, my door opened and... Emily walked in."

My breath hitched and my mind flashed back to the woman. My voice rose, slowly. "Liam said you guys haven't ever ended your relationship yet-"

"It was not like that!" Harry began desperately, "We were together a long time ago and she suddenly left me. That time in the hospital was the first time I've seen her in years. I don't know how she thought we could just get back together like that."

"You guys were making out." I said, not convinced.

"Yeah, but that's where you're getting it all wrong. I had no intention of breaking your trust, ever. She came on me first. And you know I wasn't in the rightest of minds, I just was recovering from a concussion and I was under the medical drugs they put me on. I didn't know what was what, or who was who. I swear, if Liam was next to me, I would've asked him what happened to his Irish accent and if he had a sudden growth spurt in an hour."

A small laugh bubbled out of mouth and a soft look crossed his face. He tilted his head and slowly reached over and caressed my face. I froze, surprised by the gentle gesture. "You look so pretty when you smile," He whispered.

I gave a small smile, took his hand, and brought his back on the couch. Warmth coursed from where we touched and I sighed in content. "Keep going," I said.

Harry nodded. "She came in... and got on top of me," I swallowed audibly, "She started kissing me, and I started doing the same."

I let go of Harry's hand and he frowned. "And I kissed back, but only because I thought it was you Chels."

A confused look passed my face. "What?"

Harry nodded. "I couldn't think properly or see properly. All I knew was the blond hair I loved to touch on you Chels. I was confused, and that one misunderstanding caused all this pain for us. I thought Emily was you, that's why I kissed her back."

My head whirled. Is he serious? Did we separate all this time just because I was a stubborn girl that refused to listen? I trembled and looked at Harry with wide eyes. "Are you telling me the truth?"

Harry smiled sadly and pulled me to his chest. "I wouldn't lie to you Chels. I cherish you too much for that to happen. I... I love you."

To say I cried is an understatement. I sobbed like crazy. But Harry held me close like always. Protecting me. Even after Josh woke up again and tried to take me away. Harry stood in front of me and argued with him. Not until the other four guys came back in did Josh back down.

"Chelsea, I'll be back for you, and don't you for a second think you'll be taken away from me again," Josh threatened before storming out of the house.

"Yeah you better run you coward," Louis screamed at the closing door.

"Mate, calm down, he's gone," Liam soothed.

"I agree with Louis, he was a prick," Zayn agreed.

Liam rolled his eyes and Niall laughed. Harry held me in his arms even after he left and throughout the boys' argument. He pressed a kiss to my temple and I felt his cheek against my head. "Harry," I began tentatively, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not trusting you and running away. I promise I'll never run away from you again."

Harry shook his head. "No, I'm sorry for not coming after you and not convincing you. I should've. We could've made it through all of this, I should've known."

"You're too kind to me Harry. And... I love you too," I whispered.

I felt Harry's cheeks lift in a broad smile and I smiled as well. "Che-"

"Aw, don't hog up all love, lovebirds." That's all I heard before four heavy bodies crushed around us. We stumbled and fell to the floor. Harry grunted before asking if I was okay. "Ow, my boob!" Louis yelled and someone was shoved around on top of me.

I couldn't help it, I laughed. And Harry's chest rumbled as well in laughter. Soon, the whole room echoed with endless laughter

I was broken, I was not loved, I was lonely.

But not anymore. I will heal, I am now loved, and I am the furthest away from lonely than I've ever been. Even if that means being stuck with five of the biggest idiots in the world, I don't think I mind.

"I love you guys," I breathed.

"I love you too Chels," they all chorused back happily, Harry's being the loudest in my ears.

And that's how I knew everything would turn out just fine.

And...
