Love At First Kiss? (Harry Styles) [1]

Chapter 18: Bruises

I wake in a hospital bed, with IV’s up my arm. In the IV it looks like blood, I guess I lost a lot… I flip my head around a couple times, looking at nothing, not zoning in on anything, just seeing everything as a blur.

“You’re going to break your head doing that.” Someone tells me.

“Ah, I’m sure getting shot hurts worse.” I mumble. A person giggles and I recognise it, Natalie.

“Okay, continue, I will not stop you, but when you have to wear an ugly neck brace, don’t coming to me, like I didn’t try stopping you.” She responds, and I realise Katie spoke the first time.

“I already look ugly, have you seen me without makeup?” I giggle, even though it’s not funny, and hurts my chest, what’s got me so loopy?

“Yes, every single day until grade 7.” Katie responds, and I shake my head.

“Oh, okay you obviously haven’t seen me lately without makeup on…” I say softly, and doing so I start to regain my sanity.

“What the hell do you mean?” Natalie asks in a harsh voice.

“Calm it down. Just hand me some makeup remover, or a wet paper towel.”

“I have some makeup wipe in my purse, one second.” Natalie says, as she pulls out a baby-wipe type cloth from her pink purse, and hands it to me.

I quickly wipe at my arms, and face, uncover all my purple skin. They both gasp.

“Ya, ya, I look like shit, get over it.” I pause, cutting off any interruptions. “Can I go see Harry now?”

“Let me check with the nurse.” Katie says quickly exiting the room; she comes back in a moment later with a wheelchair. “She says you can as long as you stay in the wheelchair.”

“OK, do you guys have any spare concealer or something I could use?” They both shake their heads ‘no’. “Well, that’s just great,” I murmur to myself.

“What was that?”

“Nothing,” I say quickly. Natalie comes to help me out of the bed – although I think I’m capable of standing up by myself. “Can I get rid of this thing?” I say pointing to the IV, and Katie nods. Good, I think I’ve had enough blood pumped into me. I quickly – and safely – I take out the IV from the vain in my hand. I pull my legs up, and out of the beds sheets. I try standing and thank god Natalie was there, my legs feel like Jell-O. Katie is already there with the wheelchair, and the two of them throw me into it. Natalie starts wheeling me to Harry’s room well Katie starts rambling on about the condition Harry’s in.

“Well, he hasn’t been awake for long, he’s slept for almost the entire time he’s been in the hospital, don’t be surprised if he isn’t awake when we get there. The boys haven’t left his side. He doesn’t look too well…” I block her out from there on, I know she knows I look worse, I just don’t know how Harry’s going to respond to how I look now… When all the bruises and bumps disappear, I think I’m going to change my look, be a whole new me.

“Hey, how do you think I’d look with auburn hair? I mean, I know I have brown hair, but with it tinted red a bit…” Wait, Rebekah had auburn-ish hair… “How’s Rebekah? You know, now I’m thinking black hair – oh how about blond? No, no maybe pink? Ya, I think I’d like pink hair, hot pink, how does that sound?”

“Someone’s high.” Natalie whispers to Katie a little too loud.

“You know, I can hear you!” I say as loud as my lungs will let me.

“Looks like we’re here,” Katie says trying to change the subject.

“I’m serious, why can’t I die my hair hot pink, I think it’d look pretty cool!” I say loud again, as we enter the room.

“Someone’s better! I’ll help you dye that head of yours!” Louis tells me.

“God come here and give me a hug Lewis!” He slightly twitches at what I called him, but comes over to hug me. He leans down, and I pull him into the biggest hug I can make. “You other three too,” I tell the other guys. They all come to me, and I collect my hugs.

“Savy, what happened to that body of yours?” Louis asks me.

“Ah, I was hoping you guys wouldn’t notice, but seeing these two,” I point to Katie and Natalie. “Wouldn’t let me use any of their concealer, which I know for a fact they carry with them twenty-four seven.” I glare at the two. “I’m thinking when everything goes away, that’s when I’ll die my hair pink, you like?” I say waggling my eyebrows. “Now, do you mind wheeling me over to Harry?” I ask Natalie, and she does as told.

When I get to Harry’s bedside, I see he’s still asleep. I take hold of his one hand, I know, sounds cheesy. Then his eyes snap straight open, he smiles at me, even though I know he wants to say something about my arms and face.

“I’m going to say this once more, I look like shit, get over it!” I let out a giggle. “How are you Haz?” I ask him.

“Fine, now that you’re here.” He smiles at me, damn he is so cute! Natalie and Katie ‘awe’ and the others make gaging noises.

“Okay, we’ll leave you two alone, because some people don’t know what a gentleman is!” Natalie glares at the other guys, and Katie pushes the guys out of the room. Natalie and Katie wave, and exit as well. 

“How long are you in here for?” I ask Harry.

“A couple weeks, three tops.”

“That long? I hate that I’m the reason you’re stuck in here! I mean, you could have just moved on with your life, and continued tour…” It’s true, I know it is, it’s my fault he got shot, he was just trying to save me…

“Are you listening to me?” He asks me, snapping me out of my train of thought; I shake my head ‘no’. “Well, I was saying how really it’s my fault, and don’t guilt yourself over me, I’m fine without being on the tour of a couple weeks.”

“Why? I thought you loved singing.” I counter.

“I love you more.”

“You’ve known me for a week,” I murmur under my breath.

“What was that?” Harry asks looking at me worried.

“Nothing, I didn’t say anything, you must be hearing things!” I tell him. “Well, I’m going to wheel out of here now.” I say, and give him a quick peck on the lips, and go to wheel back to my room, but Harry stops me.

“I love you,”

“I love you too.” I smile, and continue rolling out the door.
