One Direction's Big Break: The End

Chapter twenty nine

Lena's POV

I suddenly knew why Liam had gone to such lengths to protect me. After watching me come so close to death after my wreck, he didn't want anything to cause an accident like that again. I understood now, as I screamed his name over and over, watching blood begin to pool around him. I understood what he did. I forgave him for it and everything he could ever do. I continued to scream his name hysterically, and whoever hit him was calling 911.

Eventually I attracted a crowd, and people were screaming right along with me. An ambulance showed up, and the car was pulled off of him.

It was like I was possessed. I just kept screaming, screaming, screaming for my brother. I wasn't begging him to do anything. I was only screaming his name.

Vaguely, I was aware of familiar faces surrounding me. First, I saw Theo. He was standing in front of me, eyes wide, as though he didn't know who I was.

Then there was Harry, standing next to Louis and Niall, looking down at my brother in disbelief.

And there was Justin, who wasn't looking at me or Liam, but appeared to be searching for something.

I fell to my knees. Liam had just been hit by a car. Because of me. Because I was too damn stubborn to forgive him for doing so much for me. He did nothing but protect me.

How could I have been so horrible?!

At some point, I blacked out.

*****

I woke up with a start. I was lying on a couch, wrapped up in a blanket. The room was dim, only lit by a fire across the room.

I got to my feet, and found a note on the table beside the couch.

Lena,

The doctors took very good care of Liam. He's going to live. He's got a nasty head injury though, and it's possible he won't remember a lot. But you recovered from amnesia. So he can too. It'll all be okay. Keira isn't here, but she's perfectly safe. There's food in the fridge if you need it. If you need me, I'm upstairs in my room. I don't typically live here, but I bought this as a summer house for when I was London. In case you're wondering if I stole it ;). Please don't hesitate to come to me, Lena. I know there's a lot going on right now, and you may think talking to someone will only hurt you. But I will try to make it all better. I mean it. I love you so much. First door on the right, if you're looking for me.

I put down the note and sighed. I knew they were all expecting me to choose. Harry. Theo. Or Justin.

But how could I choose?

Harry hurt me. So much. How could I trust him not to hurt me again?

Justin hurt me too. He proposed to me only for Liam's money.

And Theo, the only one with a right to touch me when Liam was hit made no move when the time came.

But Harry was everything. He'd protected me. Loved me through everything. Nearly died for me.

And Justin had spent four years with me. Raised Keira with me. Been there for me whenever I needed him to be.

And Theo was so sweet to me. He was there. He made me so happy. He was great with Keira.

I loved Theo. I loved Justin. I loved Harry.

And now, one of them was upstairs asleep. Waiting on me to seek comfort in him.

I didn't know why it was so hard. I'd done it so many times before.

The truth was, I knew, whoever I chose, it needed to be now. It was either lay with one and sleep beside him, call one of them and go home with him, or leave here alone and find the other and go with him.

But I had to choose. For their sake. For Keira's sake.

For my sake.

I tapped my foot. Why couldn't I do this?

I knew which one I should choose.

I knew which one I was afraid to choose.

I knew which one Liam would want me to choose.

But which was the one I wanted to choose?

I sighed, wishing I didn't have to do this.

That's when I shook my head. This was far easier than I was making it out to be. I knew who I needed to choose. Who I wanted to choose. Who I should've chosen a long time ago.

I sighed, steeled myself for what would come tomorrow, when I told the others, and went up the stairs.

I stepped into the room, walked across it, and crawled into bed.

He woke up quickly.

"Lena? Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine. I need to tell you something though." I said.

"Yes?"

"I choose you."

Lol.

Who is it?

Stay tuned

Love you all!
