Starting over

Chapter 23

A flash of light makes my vision blur. I hear the crash. My ears are ringing. Once the car stops moving, I touch my arms and legs making sure they are still attached. I hear a groan next to me and I turn my head. I turn to see Harry covered in blood. I try to tell him everything is ok but I can tell by his grimacing face that he knows it won't be. The tears stream down my face and his breathes speed up. I hold it hand tight. I see the ambulance just as he takes his last breathe. I scream out and cry on his cold shoulder.

The paramedics help me out of the car and cover his body. They have to carry be to the ambulance because my legs are too weak to walk. They bandage up my cuts and I am still sobbing. The police ask me some questions. They drive me back to my house and I sit there and cry until there are no tears left.

I wake up screaming with tears streaming down my cheeks and Harry sits up quick. I touch his face and put my hand on his chest. His heart is still beating. He looks at me, confused. "Babe you ok?"

I nod my head slowly and he holds me tight. "I had another nightmare. But instead of Daniel dying it was you." I start to sob again.

"Aw babe. It was just a dream. I am ok." He holds me close and I sob into his chest. I finally settle down and he hums and I lay back down. I cuddle up I him and he plays with my hair as I fall back to sleep.

I wake up in the same position but this time Harry is asleep. His head is in the crook of my neck. I don't want to move because he looks so cute. His hair is messy and he looks so peaceful.

"Good morning." Niall whispers at me and looks at Harry.

"Good morning." I whisper back.

"He is such a little baby." He chuckles a little and shakes his head.

"He is my baby." I laugh. It has only been one day, but since we were so close before it's like we have been dating for a while.

"He a lucky guy to have a girl like you." Niall says and I smile kindly at him. Is that a hit of jealousy?

"I am lucky to have him. He saved me. Literally." I blush a little and start to play with Harry's hair.

"I am glad he did." He says then Liam comes in and pats him on the shoulder.

"Your awake!" Liam says smiling sweetly at me. I nod slightly so Harry won't wake up. He shifts his position so that his arm is wrapped around my waist. He pulls me close to him and his lips are so close to my neck. When he breathes it tickles my neck.

"I don't think he is asleep now." Liam says sitting down.

"Why do you say that?" I ask smiling. I know it's true but I asked just to humor him.

"He is smirking and I have never seen him sleep like that before." He laughs and Harry kisses my neck. I jump and he smirks at me.

"Good morning babe."

"Good morning." I say kissing his cheek.

"You slept ok?" He asks and I nod but I know he doesn't believe me. "Was it me again?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say weakly. "I didn't want to wake you up again."

He shakes his head. "Wake me up. I want to help you. I will always be here for you."

I smile and hold him close. "It's just so hard to see you hurt. Every time I think I lost you." The tears start to come again and Harry holds me close.

"I wonder if there is a way to help with your nightmares." He says stroking my hair.

"I hope so." I say weakly.

"Let's go get some breakfast." He says helping me up. We walk out of the tent to find louis making breakfast and josh and Tess watching him.

"Look who finally woke up?" Tess say standing up and giving me a hug. Josh looks at Harry cautiously. Harry nods at him and he nods back. I wonder if Josh yelled at him about us. Josh has always been protective over me but especially after the accident.

"What's for breakfast?" I walk over to louis to see him making pancakes.

"Pancakes and I am going to make sausage." He puts the pan down on the portable stove.

"It's smells delicious." I say and he smiles at me.

"I bet I could make better pancakes." Harry says defensively.

"Oh I'm sure." I pat his shoulder.

"I do!" He whines. He is like a 6 year old boy sometimes.

"Once we get back, we will see who is best." Louis says competitively. He finished up making the pancakes and we eat it.

"What do you guys want to do?" Tess asks.

"We were planning on going hiking." Zayn says.

"Sounds fun." I say and head to my tent to change. I put some skinny jeans, a big Tshirt and my hiking boots on.

"You and Harry are so cute." Tess says as she changes.

"Thanks. It's nice but weird at the same time." I say and she laughs.

"How is it weird?" She looks at me as she puts her hair up.

"I haven't had a boyfriend for a while, so it's just different then before." I say smiling. "Harry is so sweet. I am so happy now."

"I'm glad I make you feel that way." I hear Harry say and I turn around.

"Oh. I didn't know you were there." I say and he smiles at me. He walks towards me and holds me close. He kisses my neck then my cheek. Finally he makes his way to my lips and kisses them softly. Tess walks out.

"I love you." He says looking into my eyes.

"I love you too Harry." I say kissing him back. He smirks and then someone walks in.

"Are you two done?" Niall says smiling. I blush and move away from Harry. He smirks at me and I blush again. I grab my thin jacket then walk out of the tent. Before I can join everyone else Niall catches my arm.

"Don't let him push you to do anything you don't want to do." He says looking at me protectively.

"I know. Thanks." I say and he smiles.

"I don't want you to get hurt." He says and I look at him confused.

"I can take care of myself."

"I didn't mean it like that. I just don't want to see you get hurt." He says frowning at me.

"I appreciate it but I'm not a little girl. I know what I am doing." I walk away and he kicks the dirt. Harry waits for me.

"What did Niall tell you?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Oh nothing." I say and we walk hand in hand and catch up with the others.
