Regrets (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Regrets - Chapter 49 (THE LIVES OF THE LOST)

My eyes flutter open and the reality of where I am kicks in. There's no one with me, no one to tell me that its okay. It's over, I may have lost someone very close to me, but it's over. The crisp white paint on the walls gives me nostalgia. Back to the room when I was kidnapped, to where everything took a turn. Who was shot? I passed out before I could even see, but I definitely heard the echoes of the gunshot. I felt my heart ripped out of chest leaving me to fall unconscious. My screams taking over my whole body, hoping that I would wake up from this terrible nightmare. The monitor beeps at my left probably warning one of the nurses that I am now awake. She's going to come in here any minute now and take away my peace. The silence in this room is something I will always cherish forever. It's so quiet I can hear my heart thumping against my chest.

The door to my left slightly opens as a nurse peeps her head through to see if I am awake. As she see's I am, she walks in and checks the monitor writing everything down on her clipboard.

'Ah you're finally awake' she fake smiles at me, knowing that its her job to make patients like me feel comfortable.

'Is it over?' I ask already dreading the question 'Where's Niall...and Harry?' I blurt out realizing that was what I should have asked first, that was my first priority. She ignores both questions.

I try to sit up but a sharp pain takes over my back and runs through my leg 'listen young lady, you need to sit back down, you have lost a lot of blood due to the wound on your leg' she quickly rushes over helping me lie back down. She adjusts the bed so I can sit upright without having to move. She squirts a liquid into the needle on my wrist and a cold line traces along the back of my arm 'what is that?' I ask as she walks away back to the monitor.

'It's a little bit of morphine to help numb the pain dear' she rushes over the window and pulls back the curtains letting bright yellow light take over the room, it absorbs the white walls quickly and then makes its way over my bed and over my face. I quickly shut my eyes shut making sure I don't blind myself.

'I don't want the sun' I say keeping my eyes shut and away from the view of the window. 'some light and fresh air will do you some good, its been three days you've been here, you need all the fresh air you can get' she opens the window slightly and then walks over to me tucking the blanket in from the sides, she looks up at me and then realizes that I am shaking under the layers and layers of blankets I am already in. She then bends down and reveals another thicker blanket which she places over me and over my arms, keeping everything warm and comfortable. She smiles at me and this time its not plastered across her face, it is meaningful and genuine.

I quickly push my hands back, lifting my head up. Three days? Where has everyone been for three days? I reach out towards my bags on the side table. My phones not there. I quickly pull my arm back and lift the blanket up to shove my hands inside. I start to feel tired again, the morphine must be working.

'thank you' I mumble. She turns to smile at me and then quietly leaves the room. The same silence takes over the whole room. She didn't answer my question. 'wait...' I mumble quietly, trying to speak louder but my body pulls me back. I slowly tilt my head back and feel myself slowly drift back to sleep.

...

How long has it been? I have been asleep for how long? I still don't know whether Harry or Niall are okay. I try and slowly lift my body up so I can sit straight but my hands somehow weaken themselves once again. I hate being so useless, Niall wouldn't even be in the position he was in if it wasn't for me. Why did I have to get shot? I need to be able to defend myself.

The door opens once again, but this time it wasn't the nurse. I gasp as I realize who it is. Harry. I smile as wide as I can even though I do weakly. He see's that I'm awake and rushes towards me.

'Megan? You're finally awake!' he places his hands on my cheeks and slowly kisses me, he then slowly pulls back and grins 'You've been out for so long, I didn't know if you were okay or not'

I grab his hands and pull them towards my lips and kiss them. 'I am okay...I promise'

My eyes grow wild in search 'Niall, where is Niall? Is he okay?' a small tear escapes my left eye as I look towards Harry with hope.

'Niall's okay, he's on his way now, he'll explain when he gets here' Harry assures me. I let out a big sigh in relief and tilt my head back. The door opens slowly as Niall pops his head through the door.

He quickly runs towards me and grabs me in a tight hug. I wince in pain but I ignore it as I enjoy this rare moment. 'How are you alive?' I ask, curious and relieved.

Harry and Niall look towards each other smiling. 'well' Niall speaks out first 'before we came to save you heroically from the evil Zayn' his words follow with a hint of laughter 'we obviously had to have a back up plan in place just in case things went a bit tipsy from there. So we had a gun hidden for a certain just in case, when Zayn had asked me to shoot myself, Harry slipped out the gun that we had hidden and aimed it towards Zayn, the shot almost killing him. He is currently now locked away in prison on a life sentence so I do not think he will be bothering you anymore and we've made sure of it' he smirks and lifts his head high making himself look like a hero.

Me and Harry both laugh at his silliness. Harry grips my hand tightly to the point I knew that he would never let go ever again. 'I promise you nothing will ever happen to you again, ever' he smiles and rubs his nose against mine.

'I love you both' I finally say. They both look at me and kiss my cheeks. 'well, that's enough of me being the nice brother don't you think?' he stands up, clearly embarrassed by his show of affection 'does anyone want a coffee? I certainly do need one' Harry shakes his head but his eyes don't move away from mine.

As Niall leaves the room, Harry finally speaks up 'I love you, Megan, forever and always' my cheeks blush a crimson red, his words certain and clear.

'And I love you, Harry'
