The only reason I'm updating is cause it's my birthday. So, enjoy!

Chapter 11:

Catherine's POV:

I sit helplessly in my room, not knowing what to do. What should I do? Go out and pretend nothing happened?

A knock is placed on my door, and then Elaine and Lee walk in.

"Hi." Lee smiles, warily.

I don't smile, "Hi."

Elaine sighs, "Neither of us want you to blame yourself."

"I know."

"You have to know it wasn't your fault." Lee says, "It was her choice. Not yours."

"Well, yeah-"

"We're not done." Elaine puts a finger up, "You had no idea what was coming. You had no way to stop it, once someone makes up their mind, it's set. If anything, it's her fault. She made the decision. And, yes, it's a tragedy they didn't make it on time to save her. But God has a plan for everyone. And, I am a true believer that everyone has a purpose on this world and when they complete it, they die. Yes, it's sad. But you have to remember who they are with. Everyone will die one day. It's inevitable, and that's the truth. Some just go sooner then others."

Several tears fall, "Everyone I care for dies."

Lee's whole body stiffens and Elaine struggles to find words. "L-Like who?" He asks.

"My parents, and some of my best friends. They were idiots, no doubt. But I cared for them, and it was amazing seeing them look at each other. All you could see if how much they loved each other. And, then someone took them away from me. I haven't seen them since."

Elaine bites her lip, "What're their names?"

"Eleanor and Louis. Quite a coincidence, huh? You guys remind me of them, a lot." I laugh, dryly.

"Yeah." Lee agrees.

"You guys should go eat."

"Will you come with?"

"I can't. But go without me." I almost beg.

"Well, okay..." Elaine agrees, grabbing Lee's hand. "But we'll be back later, okay?"

"Okay."

They did come back, after dinner. And then an hour later, they had to get back to their rooms for bed checkup.

"Catherine?" A nurse pokes her head in my room.

"Yes?"

"I have been told to come give you your pills." She hands me a small cup of water and dumps the pills into my hand.

"Okay." I throw them in my mouth, and pretend to swallow them.

She smiles, and turns around, walking out. As soon as she's gone, I spit them into my hand, and stuff them into my pillow case.

Soon after, a male nurse comes and locks my door, telling me to go to bed. I oblige, laying down.

"The pills are supposed to help." A voice makes my eyes snap open.

"Oh, are they now?" I ask, sitting up and seeing Harry.

"Yeah." He nods.

"I have a hard time believing so."

He cuts to the chase, "Listen, I need to talk fast, before Zayn interrupts us."

"Go ahead."

"Zayn will do anything for you to side with him. Anything. You can't listen to a god damn word he says."

"And I am supposed to trust you?" I ask.

"This is what I mean! He has got you to the point where you believe nothing that I say-"

"No, you got me to this point."

He sighs. "Okay, you're right."

"You have no right to tell me who and who I should not trust."

"Maybe not-"

"No, Harry. No right."

"Fine, but he is desperate for your love. You know that?"

"Yes."

"You can't let him have it."

"I never said I was going to." I feel my eyes droop.

"I know, but I'm warning you. Don't fall for him."

Zayn's POV:

"Fine, but he is desperate for your love. You know that?" Harry asks.

I almost step right in, but I don't. I want to hear more.

"Yes."

Am not!

"You can't let him have it."

And you should? You are no better, Styles.

"I never said I was going to."

Ouch.

"I know, but I'm warning you. Don't fall for him."

Anger rises in me, rapidly growing every second.

We'll see.
