One Direction's Dancer

Hospital Beds and Movies

----Mackenzie’s POV----

I sprinted down the corridors of the hospital to the room number I had been texted to go to. I could hear Harry’s pounding feet on the tiled floor as he ran after me. I ran straight in to see Lachie lying in the hospital bed. He was either asleep or completely out. I turned to see Harry leaning on the door frame not daring to enter, I think my father scares him a little but I am not entirely sure. I looked around, my two younger brothers weren’t here but dad was sat in the corner crying. Although I had lived with this man all of my life and he had to deal with everything serious and everything that went wrong, I have never seen him cry.

Not once.

The man was sat in the corner on the couch by the window, he had tears streaming down his face. To say I felt bad was an understatement, I felt awful and I could feel my stomach knotting as I waited to hear what happened to one of my little brothers.

“Dad” I whispered.

“Hey Kenz” He mumbled trying to sound happy but it was obvious he was far from it.

“What happened?” I asked as I took the vacant spot beside him.

“Soccer practice” Dad trailed off.

“Dad” I spoke, “Dad please tell me”

“He was running to get the ball, after kicking it through the goalie net with a hole in it” Dad smiled at the memory of his son scoring a goal, “A car was speeding through the car park” He whispered.

I could piece two and two together but Dad just seemed to continue with the story.

“Max saw the car coming, it was going fast and Max yelled out to Lachie but it was too late. Lachie bent over and picked up the ball standing back up and was suddenly knocked over by the impact of the car. The driver had tried to stop before hitting your brother but they had been going too fast. They stopped, but reversed and left your brother there on the ground.” Dad began sobbing.

I pulled my father into a hug as his body shook with his cries.

“It’s alright Daddy” I whispered, “He’ll be alright”

I had tears streaming down my face but I tried my best to pull a brave face. It was my job as the oldest child to keep it all together. Not to fall apart when everyone else was. It’s always been my job. Always will be.

I got up from where I was sat with Dad, letting him out of my grasp.

“Would you like anything Dad?” I asked.

“A coffee would be great, I am gonna stay here with your brother do you mind taking your other brothers home?” He asked.

“Why didn’t you call me as soon as you got here dad?” I whispered.

“I didn’t know what to do, I was in a state of shock” He answered back.

With that I turned on my heel and headed for the door. Harry was no longer in the door frame but sitting with his back up against the wall, it’s cute how he didn’t want to invade my privacy.

“Are you okay?” He asked jumping to his feet.

“I’m alright” I answered, “I have to grab dad a coffee and then take the other two home, you don’t mind driving us home do you?”

“Of course not, anything for my favourite girl”

“Favourite huh? What about your mum?” I raised an eyebrow

“It’s a tie”

“Well I am very honoured to be tying for favourite girl with your mum Harry” I smiled kissing his cheek.

I grabbed his hand and dragged him over to where the waiting room was. It was a large white room like the rest of the rooms in this place. The wall had a line of seats on in and in the corner was a box of toys. I spotted Ashton by the toys playing with a figurine of some type. I scanned the next wall with seats to spot Max asleep in the chair, he had a blanket draped over him. I just smiled at the site of my sleeping brother. He was a pain but I have to admit he was pretty cute.

I smiled at Harry pointing to Max, he just smirked letting go of my hand and walking over to Max. He picked him up and began carrying him.

“Let’s go” He whispered to me.

With that I went over to Ashton.

“Hey Ash”

“Kenzie!” He smiled brightly.

“Do you wanna go home?”

He yawned and nodded standing up quickly, latching onto my hand and together we began walking over to where Harry was with sleeping Max. The four of us taking the lift and quickly finding the car.

Harry stopped the car and took the keys out of the ignition which I wasn’t expecting. He got out the car and lifted Max-who was surprisingly still asleep- from his seat and began carrying him to the front door. Ashton and I followed and I unlocked the door. Harry carried Max up to his room and came back down a few minutes later without him.

“Go to bed please Ashton” I whispered and with that the little boy ran up the stairs.

“Night Kenz” Ashton called.

“Night Ashton” I called back.

“Don’t kiss him too much” He teased.

“She never could” Harry whispered so only I could hear.

“Really?”

“True” He smiled.

“Okay then” I mumbled.

That’s when he leaned in and kissed me, it was gentle, passionate, everything I loved about Harry was right there. I smiled into it and shut my eyes. Our lips moving perfectly in sync.

I pulled away and tried to balance out my breathing.

“Thanks for driving us home” I whispered as I leant my forehead against his.

“Anytime gorgeous”

“I’m gorgeous now am I styles?”  I giggled.

“Always have been”

I blushed.

“Are you going to be alright with these two in the morning? I don’t want to leave you alone” He said sweetly.

“I will be alright Haz, you can stay if you want to make sure” I offered.

“I think I will take you up on that offer Dawson”

“Go for it” I smiled.

With that Harry grabbed my hand dragging me upto my room.

He let go of my hand and I flopped back onto my bed.

“What do you wanna watch?” He asked.

I looked over to see Harry raiding my movie collection.

“I don’t mind, whatever you’re up for” I smiled thoughtlessly.

“How about some Notebook?”

“Harry we watched it the other day and you are such a baby when you watch it”

“Fine, how about Wild Target or The Looper? Do you have something for Emily Blunt, Mackenzie?”

“I might, put on Wild Target, that’s my favourite” I beamed flipping over on my stomach.

He nodded and fed the DVD into the player. He turned the TV on and the movie began playing.

Harry jumped on the bed and at with his back up against the wall, he grabbed me around my waist and dragged me closer to him. I ended up with my head on his chest, our legs intertwined, Harry was stroking my hair. It was a pretty cute gesture.

“It really is a good movie” He smiled.

“I know” I whispered as I concentrated in on the movie only to fall asleep.
