Love Can Be Found in the Darkest of Times

Chapter 14

*Grace's POV*

"She's in a lot of pain, I think we may keep her over the weekend."

Wow, that's a long time... It's all my fault too.

"How bad are the burns?"

The doctor makes a face

"They're pretty bad...we think she broke her arm when she dropped the pot, but we won't be able to check until the burns are better."

My gaze drops to the floor,

"So, I guess I better go now."

I feel a hand pat me on the shoulder

"Everything's going to be alright, don't worry."

I nod and make my way to the door. I get into the car and immediately start crying. Kristen is in the hospital because of me! If I was over Harry this wouldn't have happened, its officially time to move on. I watch the endless road ahead, wondering when Kristen's house will show up. I finally spot the small abode and turn the car in. I lay my head on the steering wheel and the tears start rolling out one by one. After about an hour of crying, I walk up to the door. My hand fumbles with the key for a while and right when I get the right one, the door swings open. My heart stops as I look up at a tall figure towering over me. My voice trembles,

"W-who are you?"

He steps aside, letting me in.

"Liam, I'm Friends with Kristen. I heard about the tea incident...she wants me to look after you this weekend."

My eye brows furrow in frustration,

"I don't need a babysitter. I can watch after myself."

I storm back out of the house, but he catches my arm.

"No, don't leave! She told me that you were, uhhh...emotionally unstable."

I yank my arm from his grasp,

"What do mean by, emotionally unstable?!?"

His eyes dart around the room

"She just told me to come by every now and then, but I guess I won't."

His shoulders hunch over and Liam starts walking to the door. My heart begins to ache.

"Wait!"

I rush over and stand in front of the exit.

"I'm sorry! I've had a rough day...can we start over?"

He smiles and sticks his hand out

"Hello, I'm Liam Payne."

A giggle escapes my lips as I reach out for his hand

"And my name's Grace Marie."

Maybe getting over Harry won't be so hard after all.
