Unexpected Turn. [h.s. & n.h.]

Chapter 25

DAY 11/Part 1

"Oh my gosh what about this little guy?" I pointed.

"He's defiantly adorable, but aren't all animals cute when they're small?"  Landon questioned picking up the small Dalmatian puppy.

"I guess that's true, but if you're a dog lover you'll think every dog is cute no matter how big or how small." I explained.

Landon decided it would be a good idea to go into a pet store because "puppies and kittens make everyone happy" we have been here for 20 minutes and I think I have fallen in love with every animal here. When I was 12 my step brother got me a pet cat, which I fell in love with, he was my little friend, and every single night he would lay on top of my cover and sleep with me, I guess you could say he was my best friend, until one day he just ran away. Ever since that I have never bought myself a cat because I was afraid it would run away. Coming into the pet shop has made me fall in love with cats all over again.

"Why don't you buy yourself a pup? It would be good for you to have a little companion." He suggested to me, putting down the Dalmatian and picking up a chocolate lab.

"Because Landon, if I cant even take care of myself how am I going to take care of a puppy, I mean I would love to have one but I don't think I could take care of one alone." I said running my hand down the small puppy's back.

"I am going to buy you a pet of my choice later on and I am going to bring it to you tonight." He smirked.

"Landon don't. I can't take care of a pet right now." I grumbled.

"It'll be an animal you can take care of with no problem, I promise, just trust me" he smiled.

"Fine but I swear to god if it's like a bird or and insect I am brining it back."

"Have some trust in me." he said sounding a bit annoyed.

"I trust you in getting me an animal I can take care of." I truthfully said.

"Good, I love these animals and everything but I am starving."

"That makes two of us, I know I good place that isn't too far from here!" I chirped.

Landon put the playful puppy back and we left, I was a little tense today because I was worried Niall would call and yell at me for leaving the hospital, technically I am not "allowed" to leave but I left anyways because I cannot stand being in a hospital room all day doing nothing, plus I need really food in my system and not some gross jello stuff, we arrived at a small café which mostly had soups and sandwiches, but all homemade and absolutely delicious. We took a seat near the window and started to look at the menus.

"I think I am going to go with the broccoli cream soup, sounds intriguing." Landon remarked, flipping though the menu.

"Broccoli cream soup is always a good idea, I think I am just going to have a grilled chicken Panini with a side salad, oh and a coffee."

"Good then lets order now because I haven't ate since last night and I am extremely hungry." he chuckled.

A pretty blonde came over and took our order, I decided to grab a coffee too and Landon ordered a lemonade.

"So"      

"So what?" I questioned.

"You have stuff to tell me I believe." He urged.

I took a deep breath and huffed.

"Long story short, I went home the other day and had this huge mental break and being in that house with all of his things sort of made me loose it, so I took a bunch of pills and crawled into bed but then Niall came over and well that's how I have this," I said pointing to the hospital bracelet on my right wrist, " so then Anne convinced me to go see a shrink and she dropped the bomb on me that if Harry doesn't wake up in three weeks they are going to unplug him so I had another melt down last night."

"Allie, you tired to kill yourself?" he asked concerned.

"It's to hard without him Landon. I wake up every morning with this unbearable pain in my chest, I set a goal for myself everyday, that goal is not to crumble into a million piece and break down, but I haven't been able to go one day without completely breaking. I hate myself for falling in love and becoming so dependent on him."

"I know it's hard Allie but you need to think about all the friends who love you dearly, would you really want to put them though that? You're strong and you will get though tis, remember if you ever need someone to talk to you can call me at any time, and I mean that." He said calmly, putting his hand over mine and stroking it a little.

I gave him a small, weak smile. I knew I had to find a new coping method, I just didn't know what else could take my pain away. Our food came and we mostly ate in silence, only making small talk.

"When will you be home tonight?" he spoke.

"Fuck. I totally forgot, I don't even know if I can go home. I haven't been released from the hospital, I can try to talk to them but I honestly don't know, can I call you when I know?"

"Of course you can, if not I can wait until you're free to leave if that's okay with you." He offered.

"Remember an animal I can take care of." I smirked.

"Jesus Allie, trust me. I am not going to buy you a snake, or horse. It'll be something you can take care of."

"I do, I am just saying. Thanks for going to lunch with me today; I really needed to get out of that hospital, and finally eating some delicious food was lovely." I laughed.

"Well do it again soon, remember call me later if you'll be home or not. It was nice seeing a familiar face again in this gloomy city." He giggled.

"Hey what did I say about being judgmental." I muttered, putting on a serious face.

"I'm kidding Allie, I think I am starting to actually like this place a little." He said looking away.

"Wait what? I didn't hear that?" I provoked.

"I said," he said taking a deep breath, "I am actually starting to like it here."

A smile plastered over my face, "I told you it wasn't so bad. Maybe you should listen to me more often." I teased.

"Yeah yeah in your dreams. I'll see you soon Allie." He smiled.

"See you soon Landon."
