Beautiful People

"I called Niall." Harry says as I walk from the bathroom and into the waiting room.

"What did he say?" I ask.

"That he will be here as soon as he can." He replies.

"Harry Styles and Rachel Horan?" A nurse walks in.

We rush up to the nurse.

"That's us.." Harry says.

"Veronica has a broken neck and suffered some head trauma. She is doing better now since last night." The nurse explains.

"Now what?" Harry asked.

"She will stay her for a couple days so we can watch her head. Then in a couple months you guys will come back for therapy for her neck."

"How long will she wear a neck brace?" I ask, now thinking about Harry and Veronica's wedding.

"About couple months." She replied. "Excuse me, I do have to go."

"Thank you." Harry says, then turns to me, "You can go home, to get some rest."

"No I am going to stay here."

"Rachel, we have been here for two days straight, go home, shower, and rest a little. Then come back."

"But-"

"No buts, here is some money for a taxi." Harry hands me twenty dollars.

"Fine. But when I'm done, you go home and do the same."

"Okay."

I walk out of the hospital. I dialed Louis's number.

"Hey Rachel."

"Hey Louis."

"What's up?"

"I hate to be a bother but can you pick me up?"

"Yeah, I'm on way. How's Veronica?"

"They say she's doing better than last night, which is good. She suffered a major head trauma and she broke her neck." I reply.

"Well, at least she's in good condition. Are you at the door, I just pulled in."

"Yeah."

I saw Louis pull up.

"Get in Love." Louis smiles.

It is raining in Doncaster. Louis walks me to my door.

"Do you wanna come in?" I ask.

"Sure."

Louis sits on the couch while I turn on the lights. I then join him on the couch.

"It seems life needs to slow down." Louis puts his face in his hands.

"Are you okay?" I rub small circles in his back.

"Yeah.. Life is just a little harder than usual." He starts.

"Care to explain?"

"Its nothing. What about you? You seem to have something on your mind."

"I do have to tell you something Louis."

"I'm all ears." He turns to face me.

Just tell him, he needs to now.

"Louis, this is your baby.." I trail off.

Louis sits there stunned, he looks like he is still trying to process the information I just gave him.

"How is that possible?" He whispers.

"Remember, you and I had sex.."

"I remember! I didn't cum in you! You have me confused with someone else."

"No. Louis you were drunk, I wasn't, I know everything that happened."

"So you took advantage of me?" He shirked. "Just to think that I was actually falling for you!"

"I told you no, and don't touch me but you kept going on and on about it so I gave in. You were my first Louis." I cry.

"Sorry, I don't do anyone who hasn't already had sex!" Louis stands up.

"As I said you were drunk. I still have the bruises to prove you."

"I don't bruise people that I have sex with." Louis rolls his eyes.

"Louis please think!" I cry. "Just stop and think for a second. When you are drunk you don't realize what you're doing."

"I remember having sex with you, I wore a condom."

"No.. You didn't."

"Listen, I have to go. I can't believe you would acuse me of being the father. Maybe you should stop going to parties." He gets up and slams the door.

I look out the window to see Louis speeding away.

"What did I do?" I scream and throw a pillow. "Fuck!" I cry and fall to the floor.

I notice the sky lit up while the thunder roared. I slowly close my eyes and let the numbness take over.
