Gone (h.s.)

Chapter 18

"I- I love you too, mom." Wow, that was a huge jump from where we were. She said she loves me.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry everything. For hitting you, for embarrassing you, for calling you names, for anything. I was extremely caught up on getting hurt that I caused you pain because I felt like it would make me feel better inside." She looks me in the eyes, her big green eyes, tearing up. "It did for a moment, but then I felt... guilty." A tear rolls down her face.

I hug her and I guess I forgave her? The officers start walking towards us. The one that walked me down the stairs, officer Jones, starts to talk.

I zone out and think about Harry, how I wish he was here. Then I am snapped out of my thoughts.

"Natalie!" I hear a familiar voice call, Harry.

"Harry!" I get up and embrace him in a hug. "Thank god you're here."

"I tried calling you multiple times, but no answer. So I rushed over here." He blushes.

"I'm okay." I assure him.

"Okay." he kisses me. His wrist brushes my shoulder where it's bruised, making me wince.

"Oh, I'm sorry." he takes my hand and sits me down.

The police cars drive off with Alex and my mother is taken to the hospital to get the fetus checked on, leaving just me and Harry. We walk back into my house and walk up to my room.

The police officers took the knife he used as 'evidence'. "Natalie, what exactly happened after I left?" Harry wonders.

"Well, when my mom got home from work, I called her to my room and I told her that he's cheating on her and I showed he the video. Then, she started to cry and I sent the video to her phone and she went downstairs and faced him." I tighten my grip on his hand. "And when she did, he went to the kitchen and got a knife. My mom ran up to my room and told me to lock the door. I called 911 and when they came, they came through the side and helped my mother get down first. The just as officer Jones grabbed my hand to help me down, Alex got into my room, grabbed my other wrist and put the knife to my neck. He cut it a little." I point to the bandage on my neck.

"The other policemen come through the door of my room quietly and take the knife away from him and arrest him." I remember the horrid events of today.

"Natalie," he hugs me tightly. "I-"

"When he put the knife to my neck, I want him to kill me so bad. The metal of the knife against my skin, it made my feel good." I look down. "I wanted him to kill me, Harry."

"Natalie, please, don't say that." Harry frowns. "You know what, tomorrow, I'm taking you out. We, are going to a theme park!"

"Harry, no, I'm not up for it."

"Pleeease?" He gets down on his knees.

"Okay." I laugh. "I give in!"

*************
*at the hospital*

"Miss Allister, your mother is great, everything is fine. The baby is too, and it's not a girl, it is actually a boy." The doctor smiles and offers a hand. I shake it. Harry and I walk in to my moms room.

"Mom, this Harry, my friend and boyfriend. Harry, this is my mom."
