Mine

Chapter 27

I look at her trying to give her my best smile while trying not to cry.

Her hands are shaking miserably at her sides and she looks about faint. Her eyes go from me to her son. Her knees buckle and she nearly falls but Liam catches her.

"Here have a seat I'll find you some water Ms." Liam says politely helping her in a seat.

I nod him off when he gives me a questionable look, he walks out and he best come back with a drink for her cause I'm surely not going to lie to her.

"So you must be Louis?" she wipes tears away.

"I am yes and you are his mum of course, but I can't call you mum." I try to make a laugh.

I earn a slight smile from her.

"I'm Anne Twist." she says looking at Harry.

"You can touch him, kiss his head, anything except move him you won't hurt him." I look at our joined hands.

"Who did this to my baby?" she strokes her hand through his hair.

"A team member on the football team I play for." I say feeling horrible.

Her hand goes over her mouth.

"Tell me they've arrested him." she's now holding Harry's other hand.

My hand hasn't left his since I got back earlier.

"They have yes." I say simply.

"What's that tube going in his mouth?" her brows scrunched together.

"That's to help him breathe being how the bullet went through."

"Did it hit his heart?"

"No but it basically nicked the left lung which took hours to remove and fix because according to what Liam said it rested right behind his lung when it grazed it. The nosey lad went and asked the doctor more." I say simply.

The conversation between us is silent and I can't think of more to say just that I want Harry awake.

"Louis I know you think I hate you for this happening to my son, but I don't it's not your fault."

I look down all I can think of is about how mad he may be that I called his mum or worse that he blames me that this happened.

I blame myself had I not said what I did and just did what he wanted for once none of this would of happened.

"I blame myself." I say sadly.

She gets up crossing to me putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Louis I know my Harry and if he loves you like he said to me before he won't blame you, he will play blame with you." she smiles.

"I do love him so much, I know he can hear me and you. That's why I called so he can hear this too."

"What is it love?" she says softly.

"I wo-"

Liam walks in before I can get any words out.

"Here you are they were out of the bottles in the cafeteria so I got this from the shop down the way." he hands her a bottle of water.

"Got you a soda Tommo." he hands me a dr.pepper.

I give him a nod taking the bottle.

"Thanks for everything really." I say looking at Harry.

He gives me a pat on the shoulder.

"Not leaving his side?"

I shake my head.
