The Truth Beneath The Smile (Harry Styles)

Chapter 16

Kevin Pov:

I've had far to much too drink. My head is spinning as I look around the room nothing seems to be sitting still in one position. I place my head on the bar top and slighly jump up when I feel a buzz in my pocket. I pull out my phone to find it's a private number calling could it be her? I swipe the screen and sound a little to excited as I greet the person on the other line.

"Hello." is that Kevin a familiar voice asks

"Yes speaking." I mumble.

"This is officer Lambert. We spoke in the hospital. The officers in the United Kingdom found your girlfriend and she admitted to stabbing you. She's in prison at the moment and we would like you to come in for further questioning as soon as possible."

"Wait... how what I mutter." A gasp falling from my lips they actually found her what the fuck is she doing in the UK. "Okay I'm on my way." I practically scream through the phone and place it back in my pocket. I grab the bar top to stabilise me as I get back to my feet.

"Where you going?" Sarah appears with another glass of ice cold beer.

"They've found Rose so I need to go talk to the cops."

"Are you kidding your far too drunk."

"I don't fucking care. I say turning away."

"Well you can't drive in your state."

"You drive me then." I growl at her.

"I can't leave the bar. There's no one else working until later."

"Well you didn't seem to have a fucking problem when you were fucking me around the back earlier on."

"Yeah but I was still in the pub." She huffs and slams the beer on the table. Drawing attention to us.

"Fine fuck I'll walk." I grumble as I swing open the old rusty door.

I stumble across the street. Taking small steps to make everything stop spinning so fast. My head is pounding I probably shouldn't have had so much to drink. but who the fuck cares. She hated me enough to stab me and know she's across the other side of the fucking world. I probably shouldn't have lied to the cops about a burglar coming and attacking me and how he let Rose escape. I managed to lie my way through all there questions but I never not once thought she would confess herself.

I grab a lampost to get my breath back all of this is physically and mentally exhausting. I let out a loud sigh and get back on my way. Before I know the sun has already set for the night and the moon and stars are shining brightly. I see flashing lights coming my way. Loud screams fall from my lips and before I know what's happening I'm flying through the air the loud sound of a horn sounds through the city and I feel glass indulge with my head as it hits the ground making everything black out.

*******

Bright lights are all I see when my eyes open.

"He's awake." someone screams.

"Get him an oxygen mask." the other person yells. it's so strange I can hear their voices but my eye sight is highly blurred making it impossible to make out who they are.

"Kevin you are going to be okay. We are in the ambulance on our way to the hospital."

I can feel the tears slowly trickling down my cheeks. My breathing has increased treamondsly and the pain in my head is so overpowering that it feels numb. 

"Hurry up with that mask." The man I believe to be the paramedic yells.

My eyes start to close and I focus on the noise of the moving vehicle as the brightness disappears in darkness.

******

"Kevin, Kevin can you hear me?" I awake again In a hospital bed. My body feels really heavy and my eyes don't want to stay open. They keep fighting with me to close.

"Yes." I mumble. My throat feels really dry as I reply to the stranger.

"You have been in surgery for your head. There was alot of bleeding so we had to operate. I regret to inform you that your surgery didn't go so well and there was far to much bleeding. For us to stop."

"Am I..... I going....to die." I finally manage to form a sentence.

"I'm sorry we did everything we could."

"It's going go be ok." My mum's voice trails in from across the room. Her voice sounds really deep as if she's been crying for a long time.

"How long do I have left." I whisper.

"It's hard to say maybe a couple of hours or days maybe a week."

"Kevin my darling I love you so much my mum." whispers as she runs her fingers through my hair.

"I love you too." I sob.

"Tell the police that it wasn't Rose's fault that she stabbed me it was self defense. I don't want her to hate me forever mum. Please tell them to let her go I reallly don't want them to charge her."

She cries nodding her head and gently places a kiss on my head.

"Tell Rose that she is the only girl I ever truly loved and I'm sorry for everything I done to her."

"Okay sweetheart don't worry I will."

"Thank you mum." I murmur. My eyes start to feel heavy and I'm left all on my own in the darkness once again.
