you smell like hope «Larry Stylinson»

8. Soul Like Me

No history I'm weightless
Floating in eternal dark

white chrysanthemums.
The sympathy flower that carries the message of upliftment during a time of loss. But what type of uplifting when a soul didn't have a friend.

Harry's pov.

I think I'm waking up, these days I've been doing that a lot even though I started to hate the act.

I started opening my eyes slowly, my vision is blurry and blinded by the white light around me, I already know I'm in a hospital. The smell reminded me of something that ached my heart, I don't know what it is though.

"You're awake." The same voice said again, "you passed out and we brought you here," said a different but familiar female voice.

It's the girl from the event, I don't know why she's here though, but I can't worry about that now I have to leave, no I have to sneak outside, I can't afford to check out the hospital. "You can go now, I'm feeling better."

"What do you mean?" Liam asked, "we're not leaving, Right Ruth?" Oh so that was her name. "Yes no way bro, you scared the hell out of me when I found you." Found me?

"I have to leave though, I can't stay here for longer, also what do you mean found me?" I asked looking clueless between the two.

"Ruth please tell him what happened until I go to pay for the hospital, okay?" He informed the girl before leaving the room.

"So to sum it up," she started, "I was going to meet my brother and Louis at his house, then I found you laying in the middle of the street so I called Liam and we brought you here." She looked different from when I first met her, she looks way younger too I feel bad for putting her through this, "so Liam is your brother?" She nodded and looked at me confused that this is my only question.

"Now I have a question for you because Lima refused to tell me," I just assumed that Lima is Liam and nodded. "What were you doing at Louis' house," no wonder her brother refused to tell her.

"He kidnapped me, kind of." I did walk there myself. "What?" She shouted and I ignored her instead I asked something else, "how come you call him Just Louis when he's your manager as well?" She just laughed finding my question quite weird, I can't help but wonder though, Louis doesn't look like the easy Manager.

"Well he's not my manager I was there to help out, nothing more." That kind of makes sense.

I didn't ask any further, I just got lost in my brain, I can't help but think about what will happen to me when I go home and what will the base owners do with me.

"I'm back, I hope she didn't annoy you much with her questions." Liam said as he walked inside, "I asked the doctor if you could leave and he said that you can as long as you take good care of yourself." I nodded and got up from the bed immediately, my phone was on the small table next to me so I just took it and headed to the door.

"Wait, where are you going?" Liam asked, I stopped in my place remembering that I still didn't thank them, "oh sorry my bad, thank you so much for helping me out," I said politely and turned to leave.

"Bro stop, how are you planning to go home? Let us drive you." I actually forgot about that, I don't know what happened to the bike and I also don't know where this hospital is or how to get home from here, "I'll just walk," I gave another polite smile.

"No you won't, let's go Ruth," I was about to protest then I remembered the guy waiting under my building, maybe getting there faster would be helpful.

"Okay," I followed him and his sister to their car and thankfully I was about to figure out which way to take from the hospital. The whole ride was quite no one dared to ask or talk about anything.

Once we were closer to the part of town where I live I started searching for any building that I can call my house, I can't let them actually get inside this neighborhood or know where I live.

"This building there," I pointed to the closest one, "this one?" Laim asked, "are you sure?" Did I pick the wrong building?

"No not that the one next to it," I tried to correct it smoothly, "that's weird, don't these three buildings belong to Louis?" Oh no-

"Yeah, I thought he knew everyone who bought the apartments there," Liam replied to his sister, "um, I don't actually live here, my friend does, I'll be staying with him until I get better," good job Harry, you saved it.

"Okay then, take care." I got out of the car after thanking them again, I walked to the random building and stayed behind the gate for a few minutes until I was sure that they left.

I left the building with no unwanted accidents and walked the rest of the way to my actual building, as expected the guy was there, however, he wasn't alone.

"Look who finally decided to show up, with new clothes as well!" The metal landed on my waist before I could say anything, another one from one of the owners on my chest, "let me explain please," I tried but of course it didn't work until the 7th hit met my body that was already thrown to the floor, "spell." They demanded.

I explained everything that happened leaving out the part where they took me to the hospital to avoid any further beating.

"Go up, change to your work clothes in 2 minutes, we'll be waiting here." I nodded and ran to my apartment and changed rather quickly. Here we go back to my life.

Where no fragrance but sweat could be smelled.
