A New Hope

Chapter 11

Cora's POV

We turned on a movie that Liam thought would be great medicine for me, Toy Story. As the movie ended and the credits rolled by I decided to be brave and tell the guys how I felt.

"You guys are the best family I've ever had and I've only just met you." I said with a tear brining my eyes. Harry hugged me affectionately and said "I know right. I could never live without these boys, my brothers." Liam, Zayn, and Niall were looking at Harry and I with genuine smiles, while Louis rolled his eyes making a gagging sound. "I'm gunna puke with all this mushiness." He said and then smiled.

"Just kidding, love you too guys." I giggled which made Louis brighten and the others join in. "And I thought Niall had a contagious laugh." Zayn said with Liam agreeing. Niall blushed and said "yeah, when your happy you light up the room, and it's hard not to laugh when you laugh." I smiled at them all. "Thanks guys, and thank you Niall." He blushed at being mentioned. "Ok, guys she's MY girlfriend!" Harry said kissing my cheek, making me blush.

"Someone's getting jealous!" Louis exclaimed. Harry just laughed. The boys all laid their heads down on their pillows and were out like a light. "Do you want me to lay with you." Harry said as he turned out the light. "If you don't mind." I said nervously as I put my glasses on the bedside table. "Of course not." I felt the bed move under the new weight.

Harry slid his arms around me and I instantly felt safe. "I am so glad to have met you Harry." "I am also glad to have met you." He kissed my forehead. A loud snore thundered through the room. I giggled.

How could such sweet boys make such thunderous noises? I giggled again. Harry huffed. Which made me giggle more until it was almost uncontrollable. Harry laughed at my giggling. We both giggled together.

"Shut up you two, I need my beauty sleep, don't forget that you aren't alone In this room!" Louis snapped at us. I giggled and put my hand over my mouth to stop. "Your so cute." Harry whispered, holding me close to him. I fell asleep instantly like that, in Harry's arms.

I awoke with a stabbing pain in my head. I gently untangled myself from Harry's arms, careful not to wake him. The clock read 7:03 AM, 'the boys will not be waking up soon' I thought with a smile. I stood up and teetered as the room swayed.

I stumbled to the bathroom, careful as no not wake the boys sprawled out on the floor. They looked so adorable when they slept, I looked back at Harry's sleeping face and felt my heart flutter. 'I could get used to waking up to that.' I thought with a grin spreading across my face. I closed the bathroom door and locked it without thinking, it's just habit now to lock bathroom doors. I leaned onto the counter for support as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My head ached a pain like no other. My vision wavered and everything went black.

Harry's POV

I was jolted awake by the sound of a loud bang. The first thing I noticed was that Cora was not lying beside me. I immediately started panicking, and then I noticed that the bathroom door was closed. I got up from the bed and made my way to the door. I nocked on it gently. "Was that bang from you?" There was no answer. "Cora? Are you alright?" Again there was only silence. I began to panic. I tried the door, locked. "Cora, this isn't funny." I said getting louder.

"Would you shut up mate! It's bloody seven in the morning." Louis said covering his head with his pillow. The others had also waken. "No I will not! Something is wrong!" Liam was the first to my side in just his plaid pajama bottoms. He looked at me with worry. Niall came over in his boxers next. "I think Cora might have gotten hurt in the bathroom, and she's not responding." "Lets break down the door then!" Niall suggested. I used my shoulder to slam into it once, twice, and a third time.

"It's not as easy as it seems to be in movies." I said in a huff of annoyance. Niall tried and then Liam. As he moved aside Louis yelled a weird war cry and ran past us into the door, and took it down. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back out of the bathroom with the door, before he could fall forward into the bathroom.

"What the hell was that for?" He mumbled as he hit the ground next to Zayn who was watching closely. I ignored his comment, and my heart dropped at the expressions on Liam and Niall's face.

I looked into the bathroom to find Cora lying on the ground with a very small pool of blood coming from her head, and some blood on the side of the counter. I dropped to her side and lifted her limp body in my arms. "Get the doctors!" I shouted and the boys all started running. Liam started barking orders.

Everything that happened next was a blur. Doctors rushed in and took her away, then nurses lead us to a waiting room. The boys tried talking to me, but I didn't listen much.
