Harry.
"We just finished the nursery and god was it a task"
"I did most of the work" Danielle laughed as she waddled into the kitchen.
The chef had finished our meals and Liam was setting up the table. I looked around and stared at Danielle before asking her, "Where's Pia?"
"I thought she was with you two in the study?" she looked around, "Oh, maybe the bathroom still?"
I glanced at the clock.
"Do you want me to check on her?" she offered
"No...I'll do it" I cleared my throat, "Go ahead and start eating. I'll be right back" I instructed them before I left the room.
I jogged up the stairs and to my room. I opened the door, she wasn't there. I walked to the bathroom door and knocked.
"Pia?" I spoke.
No answer.
"Pia, are you ok?" I opened the door, no one was in there.
Guest bathroom?
I found myself running to the guest bedroom. It was empty but the bathroom door was shut. I knocked but no one answered. I turned the knob but it was locked.
"Pia!" I shouted
Still nothing
"Pia! Open the door! Pia are you ok?"
"Harry is everything ok?" I heard Liam's voice
"Pia!" I found myself shouting.
I took a step back before ramming the door with my shoulder. The frame splintered but the door swung up. I stepped inside and saw her limp body in the bathtub and Veronica's syringe on the floor.
Her name slipped from my lips as I rushed over to her.
"Pia!" I said her name
I scooped her up into my arms.
"Pia! Pia! Answer me, wake up. Don't do this" I pleaded with her.
"Harry!" Liam shouted
"Liam call Niall! Call Niall!"
Liam appeared in the doorframe
"Call Niall! Have him drive his ambulance over here! Call him!" I shouted
He nodded. Danielle was behind him and already dialing his number.
"What did she take?" Liam asked stepping into the bathroom, attempting to check her vitals
"I don't know! The shit Veronica was attempting to sedate her with" I spoke frantically.
He picked up the syringe and smelled it.
"Fuck she needs to get to the hospital immediately" Liam looked at me, "It's Dilaudid"
Within five minutes Niall was rushing up the stairs with his partner and a stretcher.
"Where?" I heard his voice.
Danielle pointed into the bathroom. He rounded the corner and saw me with her in my arms.
"Bring her here, Harry" he instructed
I rushed her over to him. They started to check her vitals.
We sat there in silence for a moment.
"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Liam spoke first
"Veronica...she......she possibly stopped her meds I'm not sure but she went off the rails and thought me and her had a future together and then she..."
"Well didn't you fuck her?"
"That's not the point and we were both drunk"
"You don't think you lead her on at all?"
"I sure as hell didn't make any promises of marry her, that's for sure"
"Marrying her?" Liam asked with wide eyes
"Yes! She thought we were going to get engaged. I took Pia to the hotel and I guess I told Veronica and she somehow became jealous and irate and relayed the message to Louis and he found her there. I assume he tried to get into Pia's room because of where I found her" I sighed
Liam cleared his throat over the silence.
"Where did you find her?"
"Curled up on the floor of the bathroom"
"Why would...she told him so he could go there and surprise her and what? Kill her? She wanted him to cause harm?"
"Yes! And then last night...she ...I didn't know what Pia was saying she I picked her up and she was going on about Veronica and when Veronica met me back here Pia was terrified. It didn't all come together until I walked in on Veronica holding the syringe and I lost it. I kicked her out"
"You kicked her out of the house?"
"I fired her too!"
"What?" Liam looked at me
"What was I supposed to do! Keep her here and leave Pia in danger because of it?" I looked at him
I looked away from Liam and at Niall. He was calling it in and notifying he nearest hospital of Pia's arrival.
"Ok Harry I'm taking her to St. Elizabeth's Serenity. You can meet us there or ride with us"
"I'll ride with you" I told him
He stared at me for a second, probably confused on who this was to me since he was one of my closest friends and had never met her.
"Alright"
"We'll follow the ambulance" Danielle nodded
"Perfect" Niall nodded.
I assumed he stabilized Pia for the ride as he and Liam moved the stretcher with help from his partner.
