Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 11

I looked up to take a drag and wish I hadn't because the next thing I knew my car was off the road and my nerves were shaken even more.

I don't remember much of that day. All I remember is waking up in a hospital with Harry's hand grasping mine so tightly it's a wonder I still had a hand. His eyes were the color of red that makes you wonder what thoughts raced through his mind.

The doctors had said I drove off the road to calm down and accidentally hit a tree. I was okay but the car was not. Stephen managed to lie his ass off to the police saying I was a legal driver and managed to get me only a small fine. I can't remember much other then Stephen's voice ringing in my ears saying "You can't trust him." I didn't listen to Stephen because it's 6:43 in the morning and I'm curled in a ball with Harry's arms wrapped around me ever so tightly. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get Harry to stop crying. He apologized numerous amount of times for being with that girl and not being there to save me. I stared at his chest, curled up in a ball and blankly said "it's okay", but we both knew, it's not okay.

-the next day-

I was finally leaving the hospital. I felt like I was in there for years, it felt like I was back in the adoption center. The drive home was the worst. Grace said that if we get into anymore trouble she won't be able to keep us anymore. Great. I already knew this was just the beginning of things. As soon as we got home I made my way up the stairs to shower. After my relaxing shower I changed into some leggings and a baggy white shirt, followed by a dark red cardigan. I sat on my bed contemplating wether I should talk to Harry about being in a gang or not. We didn't have much time alone in the hospital. It was mostly doctors checking if I truly was okay.

I managed to force myself to get up and walk to Harry's room. I quietly knocked on the door while I looked at my feet. He opened the door and immediately pulled me into a hug. He smelled like the Harry I knew, cologne and wood. He picked me up and sat me on his bed. His lanky body sat next to mine and brought our hands together into a knot.

"Harry," I said weakly.

"Yes love?"

"I know you're in a gang."

He pulled his hand out of mine and looked at me straight into the eyes. He looked like the worried boy from the adoption center.

"Who told you," he said darkly. He was no longer the boy from the adoption center.

"It doesn't matter, you didn't even try to avoid it."

I walked to my bedroom with my head hung low. A piece of me wished Stephen was lying but he wasn't. It made me think of what Harry would do once he found out I was Stephens sister.

I sat on my bed and dialed Stephens number.

"Hello," a groggy voice greeted me.

"You were right, he is in a gang."

"I told you. Lily just please stay away from him. He's just going to break your heart at the least."

"How does he not know I'm your sister? If he's after you how would he not know you had a sister?"

"We told them you went to live with nan. They think you're half way across the world. Lily the past doesn't matter, you have to trust me. No matter what happens you have to chose me over Harry."

I hung up and stared at my ceiling. How could things get so complicated so fast?

The past few weeks were horrid. I spent most of the time smoking with Stella. I had very little contact with Stephen. The peak of our relationship was awkward, scared glances in the hallway. Harry on the other hand wouldn't leave me alone. I told him to leave it every time. We would never be the same. Every chance we took he would try to get clinger and every chance he took I shook it off and smoked more than usual.

It all changed one day though. The awkward glances were still being took and Harry still kept up with taking chances. I was walking through the halls to go home. It was a chilly Autumn Thursday, signaling Winter was coming. I stopped dead in my tracks when an icy voice breathed down my neck whispering "We know your secret sweetie" by none other than Zayn Malik.

It was all over from here.
