Think About Love

Part 9: Moments.

Harry's POV

      My head pounded from the lack of sleep, my knuckles turning white from gripping the arms of the chair I was sitting on. 3 days. 3 days I've been here, waiting for some word on Julie. But no, I've gotten nothing. I ran my hands through my hair for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past minute. I had done everything there was to possibly do, I walked around, tried to sleep, tried to talk to the nurses and doctors, but no one listened to me. I had no appetite, no thirstiness, nothing. I was extremely fatigued, though. I had never gone this long without sleeping, but I didn't dare miss a second. At any given time, a doctor could come out and tell me news, and I wasn't about to be sleeping when the time came. My waiting was put to an end when a man walked into the hallway wearing a white coat. "Derrick? Family of Julie Derrick?" He called. I shot up, running over to him. "What's your relation?" The man asked, not breaking eye contact. I couldn't say I was just a random guy who saved her from being raped, and suddenly the words just flew out of my mouth. "She's my girlfriend." I said, not stuttering once. Man, that felt good to say. He nodded. "Alright son, so she has some broken ribs, and a slight concussion. Any idea how this happened?" He asked, eyeing me. "Yes, sir. Her father did this. He abused her. When I got to her house she was up in her room, bleeding on the floor. I have to make a police report." The word-vomit came up so fast that the man held up his hand. "The police can come here and talk to you. Where's her mother?" He asked. I didn't know the answer, Julie never told me about her. "Divorce." I assumed. He nodded once again, writing something on his clipboard before stuffing his pen in his pocket and looking back at me. "Would you like to see her?" He said deeply, already knowing the answer. "Yes, please." He led me into her room and I gasped at the sight. "She can hear you, she just can't reply yet." He said, before closing the door. Her head was bandaged, slight blood dabbing against the white cotton. She had an cast on her arm and also many tubes hooked up to her. My eyes watered as I sat down next to her, holding her hand. "Hey, Julie," my voice came out weak and raspy. "I'm so glad you're okay. I know you can't say anything back, but I don't know what I would have done without you. I know we just met, but this is already so crazy. I would do anything for you-" I said, before cutting off due to the tears falling down my cheeks. I couldn't bear to say anything else, so I decided to do the one thing I do best.

Sing.

I looked at her, tears still pouring as I began the part Liam is supposed to sing.

Shut the door, turn the light off

I wanna be with you, I wanna feel your love

I wanna lay beside you, I cannot hide this, even though I try

Heart beats harder, time escapes me

Trembling hands touch skin, it makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face

If we could only have this life for one more day

If we could only turn back time

You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be

My love, my heart, if breathing for this moment in time, I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Close the door, throw the key

Don't wanna be reminded, don't wanna be seen

Don't wanna be without you, my judgement's clouded, like tonight's sky

Hands are silent, voices numb

Try to scream out my lungs, it makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face

If we could only have this life for one more day

If we could only turn back time

You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be

My love, my heart, if breathing for this moment in time, I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Flashing lights in my mind, going back to the time

Playing games in the street, kicking balls with my feet

There's a numb in my toes standing close to the edge

There's a pile of my clothes at the end of your bed

As I feel myself fall, make a joke of it all

You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be

My love, my heart, if breathing for this moment in time, I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

I struggle with the last few lines

You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be

My love, my heart, if breathing for this moment in time, I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

After I finish I am full on sobbing, and I cannot control myself. I try to compose as I stare at her, seeing a  broken but beautiful girl in front of me. I whisper something without even thinking about it, not even sure if I am completely coherent right now. "I love you." I whisper. I do know that. I love this girl, and I won't fail to protect her.

After all, brokenness is a form of beauty.
