Feels like we're in a dream

***

the doctor leads me into the room and I hear the beeping of her heartbeat on the machine, I see her hooked up to so many wires and I see bandages all over her skin and I bet there are more under her hospital gown

the doctor closes the door leaving me and her alone and I step forward, I pull a chair next to her bed side and I see her eyes flutter open, her eyes lock on mine and I scoot the chair closer to her, I inch my hand closer to hers but she instantly pulls away

like she's terrified of me and a little piece of me breaks

"goldie... it's me" I whisper and I see the tears flow out of her eyes, I see her shake her head and she starts to whisper something

"I can't" she whispers and I hear her groggy voice echo throughout the room, "I cant do this" she whispers the rest and I tilt my head

"do you know what happened?" I whisper and she nods, "Parts of it, parts I don't want to remember, but I know I'll never be able to forget" she finishes and I feel my hand squeeze the arm of the chair, I pretend like it's Esme's hand

"I remember... I remember these sentences, I thought about them over and over again" she says and I hand her the cup of water thats at her bed side

"one of em- we'll be a fine line..." she whispers and I smile just a tiny bit, "I think it I thought of it because I was on a fine line, from maybe insanity and happiness" she says and I look into her eyes now

"happiness?" I ask and she scoffs

"because it was me, I was the one getting hurt and that made me feel better or happy because it wasn't any of you guys that was getting hurt" she whispers and I feel my head drop down between my shoulders

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad" she rushes out and I notice her tone, like she's scared

"you didn't make me sad esme, that response was just an esme thing to say" I say and she nods like she understands what I mean

"can you write these down?" she asks and I pull out my phone and open to my notes app, I write down the first line she said

"then, spreading you open, is the only way of knowing you" she says the line and I instantly type it into my phone, I look at her with confusion and she looks down

"honestly I think that line was about you harry, I don't know how to put it into words though" she says and I nod

"the last one... its just we'll be alright" she says and I type it as well

"you know this could be an amazing song" I say and she smiles lightly, "I was hoping you would say that" she responds and I laugh quietly

"I'm glad your here, and I'm glad you saved me" she whispers shyly like she doesn't know me like I'm a stranger that happened to be at the crime scene at the right time

"I love you, you know" I say and she nods, "yeah, yeah I know you do" she responds but she doesn't say it back and thats I when I knew things have changed

"and I'd do it again, all again" I say and she nods, "I know, I just need some time, time to get back to normal time to not feel broken or helpless" she says shyly like how she spoke to me in that coffee shop the first time we ever met

"I'll give you that time Esme, I'm gonna send ember in so you guys can talk, she's been worried sick" I whisper standing up and she nods

"goodbye harry, and thank you again" she whispers. she feels like a stranger and I cant stand the feeling of it

my golden girl. her light finally broke

I shut the door and I walk over to the group, Ember stands up and I tell her she can go in

Niall stands up as well and I see him grab my arm, he pulls me into the cafeteria and we sit at an empty table

"what's wrong?" he asks and I shake my head, "she's fine everything is gonna be okay with her" I start and he smiles

"but um, I don't know if me and her are gonna be okay" I whisper and he shakes his head, "Harry bud I know that it doesn't feel like that but she's been through a traumatic incident, she's gonna need some time" he says and I give him a pity smile

"she doesn't feel like esme, she's a different person" I snap and I feel a sting of pain ripple across my face, Niall just fucking slapped me

"that esme, she's gone.. that was stripped from her when she had to be dealt with by Matthew and Patrick, but when she starts to move on and grow you will have her back, don't give up harry" he snaps back and I put my hands in my pockets

and I feel something and I pull it out, it's the piece of notebook paper. it's the letter esme wrote before all of this had happened and I see Niall look at the paper

"what is it?" he asks and I smirk, "a letter, esme wrote it as a goodbye note yesterday" I whisper and he tilts his head

"how did she?- I told her that if she was gonna say goodbye that she would have to put it down on paper and she did" I laugh and I feel hot tears fall from my eyes and niall moves next to me

"are you gonna read it?" he asks and I shake my head and I put it back in my pockets

"when I feel better and when I can handle it I will" I whisper and he hugs me, as tight as he can

"it's gonna get better, I-I promise" he whispers in my ear and I nod, but I don't know if I believe him
