Black & White

Chapter 36

*Anna's POV*

"Harry, you really need to take a shower," Louis pleaded playfully, yet seriously.

"Yeah, mate and some rest," Zayn quickly added.

"No! There's a shower right there, and I sleep at night. I'm not leaving her," Harry argued.

The boys were trying to convince Harry to go home and get freshened up a bit. Tristan's dad had requested that she be moved out to L.A. and it would just work perfectly for Harry to relax a little then come back to her in L.A.

But, if you've ever met Harry, it's the hardest thing. To talk him into something he does NOT want to do. He has his mind set on never leaving her side.

"Harry they want to take her to L.A.," Niall spoke.

"Lead us to the helicopter then," Harry fought back.

"Alone," Liam clarified.

Harry just growled.

"Boys, Izzy, can you give me a minute alone with Harry," I asked. If they weren't going to get him away from here, it's going to have to be me.

They all looked at each other, sighing and nodding. They filed out, Zayn stopping to peck me on the cheek. He whispered, "Try your best babe," then walked out with the rest of them.

Once the door clicked signaling it had closed, I pulled up a chair beside Harry. He snuck a quick glance over at me before continuing to watch Tristan's unmoving body.

"It's not going to work," he mumbled. "Trying to get me out of here."

"Harry, you have to remember, I'm Tristan's best friend. I've known her way, way longer than you have. I have given you three whole days in here with her by yourself, don't you think I deserve some time too?"

"I can't leave her."

"Harry I know how you're feeling right now," I say.

"Oh really, and how is that?" he asked sarcastically.

"You know Taylor right?"

He simply nodded.

"He and I,we dated once, awhile back. We were sixteen, well, he was anyway and he had just got his license. We were driving around one day," I paused taking a shaky breath. The words bringing up terrible memories. "The same thing happened, not as bad though. Taylor walked off fine like you did, but I, I had a couple broken bones. His guilt was tremendous. He told me everyday, so I know. Not personally, but pretty close." As I spoke Harry slightly turned towards me lips parted. "That's why he's so, so protective over me now. He doesn't want anything at all hurting me. Not anything he can stop anyway."

"I had no idea."

I shook my head, "It's ok, sometimes it's nice having him protecting me. I used to make some stupid decisions and having him there, kept me from things getting too out of hand."

"No, I mean I didn't know there was a reason to that over protectiveness. Zayn and I just figured he was an asshole. I'm sorry, you should really tell that to Zayn."

"Like I said its ok. Honestly, I can count on one hand how many of told of this story. We don't like to talk about it, obviously. And I will, he deserves to know."

We stopped talking a bit after Harry nodded.

"My point is, Tristan already knows how you're going to feel when she wakes up. You don't need to tell her how sorry you are and stuff as soon as her eyes open. Go home, take a shower, get some rest. If she wakes up while you're there, you are the first one we'll call."

He looked at me unsure.

"And plus, I doubt she wants to see you looking like a mess when she opens her eyes," I tried adding lightly.

He gives a very small faint smile.

"Can I have one more minute?" he pleaded. "I want to say some stuff that I don't exactly want you to hear. Then I'll leave."

I nodded and stood up. I pulled the chair back to its original spot and walked back to the waiting room.

*Harry's POV*

"I don't want to leave you. Please forgive me. But they're right, I need a shower terribly and some rest. They're going to fly you back to L.A. And I'm going to get there as soon as I can. I want to be the first thing you see when you open your eyes and if I'm not, give me fifteen minutes and I'll be here. I love you Tristan. I love you so much."

With that I kissed her lips softly one last time before exiting her room.

*Anna's POV*

"Hey Tristan," I said once I clicked the door closed.

I sat where Harry had been sitting.

"I'm sorry this happened to you. Harry told me about the baby, I'm so sorry. He's a mess, you know. He looked like a bum with messy hair and dingy clothes. He's also tearing himself up with the guilt. And don't worry, I already yelled at him but then he told me the whole story. I told him the whole story too, about me and Taylor. So everything's out in the open."

Staring at her still body was terrible. It seemed like she was dead. The sheets were her coffin and when they put her in the helicopter she'll be in her grave. But she's not dead and she's not going to die. That's what the doctor told Harry right?

"So they're going to fly you back to L.A. upon your dads request. Then we're all flying back there too. The boys decided just to postpone the rest of their tour since this is going on and the twins. It was just easier to wait until all of this is back to somewhat normal. You need to wake up. Blake and Adalynn miss you. And Harry for that matter since he's been glued to your side this entire time," I paused, tearing up. "I miss you. I miss my best friend. I miss pretending were alseep until Zayn and Harry fall asleep, and then we sneak out and brag about how amazing our 'men' are. I miss standing next to you at their concerts. I miss your wise cracks and sarcastic remarks. I miss prank calling the boys with you and Izzy. I miss seeing your beautiful eyes and your smile. I miss hearing your laugh and voice. I miss you."

I started silently crying.

There was a soft knock on the door and I quickly wiped away the majority of my tears. It opened seconds later revealing a nurse.

"I'm sorry for interrupting miss, but her helicopter is ready for her."

"Thats okay, thanks," I said standing up. I walked out to the waiting room and only Zayn and the twins were left. "Whered everyone go?"

"They all went back to the hotel. Ready to go?" he asked and I nodded taking Adalynn's carrier while Zayn picked up Blake's. They were both fast asleep. Our walk to the car was silent, as well as the ride to the hotel.

"We should get some sleep too. The flight Liam booked is really early in the morning and it's already half ten," Zayn said after setting the twins in their cribs.

I nodded once more and walked to our own room. Zayn stripped himself of his shirt and jeans. I blushed slightly when he smirked, catching my stare. I turned around as he slipped under the covers. He's seen me exposed, obviously, but now that I had the twins I feel insecure of my body. I quickly slid on one of his shirts and pulled down my jeans. Then I crawled in next to him.

"Goodnight baby," he said kissing right below my ear. His arms wrapped around my waist and held me protectively.

"Goodnight Zayn," I giggled at his touch.

It's shorter, yes I know. But the next/last chapter is a little longer so I hope it makes up for it. Yes 1 chapter left and it's quite the ending! You'll never expect it. Unless if you will then you suck because I was trying to make it unpredictable. Anyway, I'm not in the best mood right now, because (1) my parents found out about me writing these >.< (2) someone I dislike very very much decided he wanted to come back into my life (3) schools starting (4) idk how to get tickets for 1D and (5) schools starting(did I mention that already? Yes, yes I did. Well it deserves two mentions because I hate it so much)

Anyway have a wonderful evning(:
