'Taste the rainbow (Harry Styles fan-fic)'

chapter 13: i suck balls

Veronica's POV

I woke to the dull ache in my head, my jaw extremely sore and it was harder to see out of the left side of my eye. I groaned and felt my face softly, a hard wrapping was placed over the sore areas and when I pulled my hand away, a soft stain of red was left on my fingertips. "Veronica." I looked up at a breathless boy band and Carter. "Hey there, Ron..." I looked at them and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Where's Alan?" Harry lightly sat forward in the chair and replied, "We sent him back home darling."

"Oh." They all looked at me with worried eyes and finally I started to get agitated. "Can you guys step out for a while? I need a minute." They all agreed and left the room. I just thought about how London had its perks and its downs. The silence began to eat away at my ears leaving a noticeable ringing. "Mrs. Veronica, hello. I'm Doctor Floyd and I'd like to talk for a minute." His voice startled me but I nodded as a response anyway.

"I'd like to ask a few questions, if that's alright?" I nodded and picked at my fingers. "Mrs. Petree, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?" "Boyfriend." I said confidently thinking of Harry. "Okay, good. Does he...get angry with you?" I shook my head no. "Does he sometimes have fits and tried to lash out on you or abuse you?" I shook my head harsher. "He would never hurt me." Doctor Floyd nodded and wrote some things down. "Do you know what happened to you or who did this to you?" I looked down and sighed. "Yeah, one of my best friends."

Doctor Floyd set down his clip board and looked at me with a face. "Why did they do this to you?" I looked him in the eyes and replied, "Because he was jealous of the relationship I have with Harry."

I was let out after two days, but they supplied us with lots of bandages and things needed to keep my 'wounds' okay. I looked out of the car window on our way home. A large hand clasped around mine and held it tight. I smiled at Harry who looked at me with a worried expression. "I'm fine." With my other hand, I reached out and caressed his cheek with a soft smile. He leaned into my touch and closed his eyes with a faint smile on his lips.

I took my hand back from his cheek and looked out the window again. We finally arrived and went inside quickly due to the stormy weather outside. "You hungry Veri Pretty?" Harry called out. "No...I'll just be upstairs." Yes, I was hungry. But I just had too much on my mind to start eating away my troubles. I looked out of my large window and held one of my pillows close to my chest as I sat on my window seat and stared blankly at the rain.

I wish I could be rain. I start from up high and slowly start my way down. I may seem fast to others, but I go slow, having time to think. I am rain, I can wash all of my troubles away inside and out. I pick up speed so suddenly. I have to keep moving, I have no choice. Seconds from the ground, and touchdown. I'd watch as my own being slaps against the ground and goes flying in every direction with a magnificent splat. That's why I'd be rain. Because I'd have no choice but to keep going until I'm gone.

I was startled when a hand was placed on my shoulder. "Veronica...are you okay love?" Harry asked me softly. I nodded and touched the bandage on my cheek. "I'm sorry about Alan. It's all my fault." I heard light sobs and looked to Harry as he sat on my bed with his head in my hands. I stood and made my way over to him. I grabbed his wrist and pulled them away from his face. I placed my fingers under his chin and lifted it, softly placing a sweet kiss on his lips.

"Harry. It's fine." I smiled and wiped away his tears. "I'm far out of his reach now, there's nothing to worry about except for an awful scar on my face." Harry chuckled and pulled me down onto his chest. I squealed and smiled as he held me close and played with long strands of my hair. I snuggled close into the side of him and looked at his face from the side view. "How'd I get so lucky with you?" I thought out loud. He smiled and looked down at me. "Hmm...maybe because you're pretty, and nice, and funny so why wouldn't I pick you?"
