Use Somebody

Chapter 9:

Harry's POV:

Louis just said the words that I wanted him to say for what seemed like forever. He wants me be his. Was I ready for that yet? What about him? Was he ready? This was a big step and I haven't known him for very long but it seems like I've known him forever.

"Harry? Will you be mine?"

He said it again as though I didn't hear him the first time. I was shocked that he wanted this. He didn't even know me. I didn't know if he was going to be just like Nick. Louis has met Nick and saw what he was like. Louis was still waiting for my answer.

"Are you sure? You just met me. What if you don't like the way I walk? What if you don't like my personality? Why would you want someone who is going to have a scar down their stomach? Wouldn't it be a constant reminder of what you had to do because of Nick? Wouldn't that break your heart? Louis, I really want to be with you. But have you thought of any of these things? These things can change the way you look at me. I don't want you to be like Nick. He was here one second and gone off to another person the next. I don't think I can do that again."

Louis looked at me as though I was crazy. These were the things that I was thinking. I wanted him to think about what he was getting himself into before he gets into this and then changes his mind.

"Harry, I've thought of every possible situation and I don't care about your scar and no it won't make me sad to see it. It will be a reminder that even though it is sad, it's how I met you and I won't let you go once I have you. You deserve everything and Nick gave you less than nothing. And there is nothing less than nothing but he managed to give it to you. I'm not going to leave you or hit you or even yell at you. And I'm sure you're personality is amazing just like you are. Now how about you get some sleep it's almost 3."

I nodded my head and Louis shut out the lights and made his way over to the chair in the corner of the room.

"Louis?"

"Yes?"

"Come sleep with me please."

I heard him shift and felt a dip in the hospital mattress. He was right next to me facing away from the wall. He wrapped his arm around my back but he was being careful. I curled up into his chest. He smelled like something sweet. I looked up at him, he had his eyes closed and I saw that he was sleeping.

"Louis, you may never get to hear this but I really do love you already. Even though I have just met you. Thank you for helping me. I don't deserve you, you need to find someone who deserves you just as much as you deserve them and it's not me."

I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
