What just happened? (Completed)

Epilogue. Chapter 20. Some things will never change.

Kaia's POV 

When I looked at Louis and saw his disappointed eyes, it made me feel like maybe I didn't chose the right decision. 

I saw him leave, right after looking at me in the eyes. Making me feel worse than the physical pain in my body. 

"Oh my God, Kaia." I heard my dad say as him and Aiden came inside the room, since the doctors let them come in. 

I wanted to talk but I couldn't. I decided to try and ignore the pain, although of course it wasn't easy, but I had to look as brave as possible in front of my family. Forgetting about Louis. 

"Shhh don't talk, it's okay." Dad said as he hold my hand in his and squeezed it. I did it back and saw Aiden, who couldn't really talk either, but because he was crying so much and it was a silent cry. 

I've never seen him cry this much. 

I began to look at them with stress and disappointed in myself, wanting to try and talk through my eyes. 

It looks like it worked, because dad said "we can talk once you feel better, okay?" 

I nodded and suddenly we hear a women's voice coming from the hallway. 

Aiden and my dad look at each other with worry. 

Honestly, I wasn't sure if I recognized the voice. 

"WHERE IS SHE?! I'M THE MOTHER, LET ME IN!" I suddenly hear. 

Now I remember that voice all too well. 

I saw my mother come inside the room, making my dad stand up and stoping her in the doorway and Aiden coming in front of me. 

"KAIA WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" She kept on yelling, clearly drunk. 

"Not now, you can't do this here." My dad said as he was stoping her from coming closer towards me. 

"YOU LITTLE SHIT! YOU MADE THEM COME HERE AND LEAVE ME ALONE! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!" 

I know mom, I know. 

Some things will never change. 

I didn't know what to do, since I couldn't really do anything. 

"Let's go right now." Dad said and put his hand over my mom's mouth who was still trying to yell things to me, but I couldn't really understand them. 

My dad looked at Aiden and Aiden just nodded, as if knowing what my dad was going to tell him. 

Dad left the room with mom and I could still hear her yelling until I couldn't hear her anymore. 

Aiden closed the door and came back beside me. I looked at him and I still saw water on his eyes but he wasn't crying anymore. 

"You know, I wished I could talk to you about everything right now and be angry at you, but I can't." I looked at him and my eyes were beginning to water. "But sooner or later we'll have to talk about this, okay?" 

Nodding I felt myself getting tired. 

"You should get some rest. I'll be here by your side." 

Smiling a bit on my mind, I closed my eyes as he took my hand in his and I didn't felt alone anymore. 

*One week later*

"Are you feeling better today?" Aiden asked me as he closed the door behind him, helping me sit down better on the bed. 

"Yeah." I said and he gave me breakfast. I'm still at the hospital, but I should get back home to my aunt in three days if I keep getting better. 

"That's great." 

I began to eat and we were both in silence. 

A person crossed my mind and I decided to ask him about him. "Um... have you heard anything about Louis?" 

He shook his head 'no' with a sad face and I sigh as I kept eating. Hospital food isn't the best but there is nothing I can do about it. 

"I think he just needs more time." 

"I think he hates me." 

"He doesn't hate you Kaia-" 

"Then why did he leave? He clearly hates me. I know now that back then I wasn't a burden to him, but now I clearly I'm one." 

"Kaia-" 

When he was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door. 

Aiden stood up from the chair and opened the door. 

It was Louis. 

He had flowers, making me feel like the most stupid person in the whole world. 

"Can I come in?" He asks as Aiden hasn't let him come in yet. 

"Yup, I'll let you two alone..." Aiden said as he looked at me and smiled. 

I tried not to smile back at him because then Louis would notice. 

Aiden went out of the room and Louis proceeded on putting the flowers in a vase that was beside my bed. 

He took the chair that Aiden was currently in, and sat beside me. 

I couldn't look at him, because I might cry or feel the worst person ever once again. 

"Please look at me." He said as he put his hand on my chin and made me look at him, slowly. Now I couldn't keep my eyes off of his. "I-I'm sorry for not being here." 

That took me by surprise. I was about to say something but he stoped me. "Please, let me talk first." I nodded and kept my mouth shut, letting him talk first. "I'm sorry that when you woke up I wasn't here with you. I just couldn't stand it." He sighs as he continue talking. "I just couldn't understand why you would do something like this. How could you leave me like that." 

Okay, I do feel the worst person ever. "But then I realized that Niall is the one responsable for making you feel like I didn't need you or that you were making things worse." When he said that, I was taken aback. I didn't know that he already knew what Niall had said to me. "I'm sorry that you felt that way. I'm sorry that you felt like no one wanted you." 

"I just want you to be able to feel loved and not a burden." He continued. Making my eyes began to water. "I want to love you. I didn't just saved you that day so that you could take your life another time. I saved you because since that moment, I knew that you were someone special and that I needed you in my life. I saw you arrive that day with your surfboard so determined, and I wanted to go and talk to you." 

"But actually you just went straight to the water so I didn't even had time. I said to myself that I would talk to you when you got back from the water and when you didn't, I knew I had to save you." 

Now a tear began to slowly go down my face and he whipped it away. 

"I want you to feel beautiful, loved and most of all, help you love yourself." 

Now more tears spilled from my eyes, making it difficult to stop. 

"I want you to be mine." He said and took out a single flower that he had on his pocket. It was a small one that could be put on behind my ear, so he asked me something next, that I never really thought would be possible. "Can you be my girlfriend?" 

Letting the tears fall, I nodded and he put the flower behind my ear, making me blush so much. I don't think I've ever blushed this much before while crying. I've never felt so happy. 

He came closer as he was putting the flower behind my ear and once he did, he looked at me straight through my eyes and closed the gap between us, kissing me slowly. 

I smiled through the kiss and I could feel my tears in his face making it feel even more bittersweet. 

Once I separated from the kiss because I was going out of breath, all I could think about was 

What just happened?
