Save Me Styles

Chapter 22- One in a Million

Harry's POV

   I never knew that I could ever worry about someone's safety so strongly before. But last night I proved that. Ever since that text from Payton I was a nervous wreck. I tried to text her numerous times but she wouldn't text back. I had thought about calling her but she may have been hiding somewhere. I never thought that Alex would actually go after her.

A couple days after Payton was attacked by Alex at the cd store I went after him. He was deffinitely not getting away with it. I am actually suprised that she didn't notice my bloodied knuckles. But that day I had finaly gotten ahold of one of her best friends. He had been trying to contact her but she always ignored his calls because she didn't recoginze his number.

When I told him what had happened with her memory it nearly killed him. Apparently they had been friends for a while and he actually had feelings for her. Well to late for that. Because you know, I kinda called dibs when she was born.

But once I called Jake and told him that what was happening he agreed to help. Once Payton texted back and told me where she was, I went livid. Alex was actually attacking Payton. My Payton. I was furious. Ever since I met her, everyone is trying to kill her!

When I went down those steps and saw that she was actually down there, a feeling of joy washed over me. A feeling of joy that could not be explained. But today was one of the best days of my life. I actually got to be myself around her. Only the boys even barely got to see who I truly was. But today was different. I wasn't holding anything back.

She even told me that she loved me. When the words left her mouth a fealing of happiness, joy, and accomplishment overwhelmed me. The one that I was made for actually excepted me. I felt like the happiest person alive.

But right now I am lying awake with Payton sprawled across my chest after she finally went back to sleep from having a nightmare once again. This is about the third time tonight. She has woken up crying and screaming about Alex each time. It makes me furious that he had that effect on her. But I don't have to worry about it anymore because that night Jake had killed him.

When I looked down at her, her dark brown curls were slightley covering her stained red face and her eye lashes were wett with tears. It pained me to see her like this but I have a feeling that she will be like this tommorow as well. I also feel like I will be like this as well.

I will lose it if the doctor tells me that she won't remember anything. Everynight I hope so much that it hurts. I hope that she will remember me when she wakes up. My nightmares used to be about my father but they have changed to her rejecting me. I dream about the expression on her face when she first woke up in the hospital.

I also dream about people taking her from me. And each nightmare hurts worse each time. But I love the fact that she is the one to wake me up. That when I first wake up I see her face and I know that my nightmare wasn't real.

Payton's POV

When I first woke up I was spraweled across Harry. I was confused on what happened but once I remembered tears flooded my eyes. I remembered Harry having to wake me up from my terrifying nightmares. I feel horrible that he had to stay up and keep waking me up. I decided not to wake him up just yet since he had to stay up.

I am glad that he took me home last night, but he refused to go home even if Alex was dead or not. When I checked my clock I noticed that we had plenty of time to get ready and head to the hospital. I decided to wake Harry up once I took a shower.
