Fall ~ Harry Styles

Chapter 16

Harry's POV:

I stood up carefully ready to lead Chloe and Holly to were their best friend lead unconscious. Once we reached the door that said 'Room 315 Scarlett Kimber' I looked back at them both they stood holding hands shaking slightly; they looked so vulnerable. I smiled weakly before opening the door. When I walked in it was as if I expected happy, bubbly, Scarlett to leap into my arms at any second not the wired up, fighting for every breathe Scarlett. I walked over to her kissing her bruised forehead carefully before sliding down into the seat beside her. Chloe and Holly were stood at the door they hadn't moved an inch. Their hands covered their mouths as more tears began to flow. Holly was the first to move towards her she knelt beside her bed held her hand and talked. She began murmuring things, I expected her to cry or break at any second but she stayed calm and just talked as if she was listening.

"You'll come back to us Scar. You always do..." She trailed of. It was then I realised Chloe, she was sat her back against the wall her head between her knees while she cried. I felt so guilty; I new inside this wasn't my fault but every time I looked at Scarlett I couldn't help but blame myself.

Chloe's POV:

I couldn't bring myself to look at Scarlett as soon as I saw her it was real and I didn't want it to be real. I peered up to see Holly holding her hand murmuring memories and things like 'I know your listening Scarlett, you've always been good at that'. I just cried. Generally I'm not an emotional person but I couldn't help it. It brought me back to the day Scarlett told us Caleb had hit her. Holly cried for her and I, I just got really angry I felt like punching the fucker and I remember saying 'He's not worth the tears you guys' Scar just said 'you think that but that's because nothing that will cause you so much emotional pain has happened to you yet. I assure you one day it will and you'll understand Chloe' I never new what she meant until right now at this exact moment I could feel the emotional pain she was talking about little did Scar know she'd be the one to cause it.

*The next morning*

"Chloe..." Holly's sweet voice brought me out of my thoughts. I just mumbled to let her know I was listening.

"I called Dan he's coming to the hospital to drive us home were in no state to drive especially after what's happened with Scar and you know..."

"Okay." I answered tiredly me and Holly decided to spend the night here just in case anything happened. Scarlett's condition hadn't deteriorated but it hadn't improved so we decided on leaving now to freshen up and come back later on. Hopefully Scarlett's parents would be here soon they were flying in to London as soon as possible, but plane tickets were expensive and limited so it could be a couple more days. They must be worried sick.

"Who's Dan?" Harry muttered. God I didn't even realise the boy was still here he'd not spoken to us all night.

"M-my boyfriend." I stuttered. He just nodded in response. Holly's boyfriend of 2 years was away for business or something so I guess that's why she'd called Dan. Suddenly someone opened the door I turned round and Dan stood before me. God I'd never been so happy to see him.

Harry's POV:

I watched as Chloe ran into her boyfriends arms, the way Scarlett used to do with me. As he stroked her blonde hair carefully while kissing her head I felt a wave of jealously as I watched. All of those things I used to do with Scarlett. Pick her up, kiss her, hug her, even hold her hand down the street to let everyone know she's mine. All of those little things I might never get to do again.

"We'll see you later Harry, you should think about going for something to eat soon." Chloe spoke quietly

"I will." mumbled as they left. I picked Scarlett's hand bringing it to my mouth kissing it carefully.

"Please, Scarlett. P-Please just c-come back. Me and you forever r-remember baby?" I asked not expecting a reply.

I like talking to her. I feel like it comforts her. I know she can't hear me. I know she will never even know about this conversation, but Scar was my everything and I wasn't going to give up on her.

A few minutes pass while I converse with Scar when I have an idea. I had gotten Holly and Chloe to bring me a bag of some of my stuff so I reached over to the chair it was placed on and pulled out my notebook. It was a notebook. Not a diary. Even though it says otherwise on the cover but this was the only one left in the shop when I bought it ok. Definitely a notebook. I quickly searched for a pen and pulled the top off with my teeth. I began scribbling words onto the paper. The words were just empty words from my head, but as I begin to write them they are suddenly filling with meaning. I want Scar to know I'm here for her, and I'm tired of feeling alone. I want to cuddle her and intertwine our fingers and wrap my arms around her body protectively and not let any harm get to my precious princess...but I couldn't find the right words to say it. I saw water on the paper below my head as my curls hang down over my face as I reached up to wipe the tears which have already fallen down to my mouth. I hate this. I hated everything. I hated myself. This was all my fault.
