A Lovely Betrayal

Chapter Thirteen

My eyes flutter open to land on Ashton's sleeping form draped over the edge of my bed. I reach out brushing his hair off of his forehead gently. His eyes slowly slide open and he smiles at me gently as he sits up. 

"Hey how are you feeling?" He mutters rubbing his eyes. 

"Okay I suppose. I just want to go home." I mumble and he nods. 

"I know Tate." He whispers reaching out and brushing his thumb over my cheek. "I better go Harry's been coming in every hour to check on you."

"well he needs to just go away. I'm mad at him, god why couldn't he just leave it alone!" I snap and he sighs. 

"I know love, but he's your husband. You're going to fight from time to time. Please don't make t because of me."  

"He beat you up Ashton! I will not put up with him hurting the people i l-care about." I snap angrily and he shakes his head. 

"I don't deserve to have you care that much Tatum. Please just don't let me come between you two." he mutters rubbing his temples . Sighing I rub his shoulder. 

"You aren't Ashton. What he did was his fault.  It is his fault I'm mad not yours." I whisper and he shakes his head. 

"If I hadn't of been so stupid and burted it to him that I love you he'd have never started that shit." 

"He shouldn't have started anything! He should have just walked away!" 

"But he didn't because he wanted to show me that you were his! There is nothing wrong with that Tatum!"

"But Im not!"

"You're not what?"

"nothing. Just go." I mumble

"Tate-"

"Just go! eave me alone!" I cry pulling my knees against my chest. He sighs but stands up and kisses my forehead.

"I love youu Tatum." He whispers before slipping out the door. I hear quiet footsteps come across the linolium I raise my head to yel at them. 

"I said g- Louis..." I whisper and I whimper as he scoots me over. We hug each other tightly and I cry into his chest. "Louis I just want to go home."

"You get to go home today. The doctor talked to Harry andd told him you could go." 

"Harry's here?"

"He's been sitting outside since you made him leave."

"So he knows Ashton was here?"

"Yeah." he whispers. I sigh and release him. 

"Will you tell him to come in here."

"Sure." he disapears and Harry slips through the door. 

"I'm still mad at you." I mutter and he chuckles. 

"I know. I'm sorry about that Tatum I don't know what came over meI just got so mad about what Ashton said that I couldn't help it. I'm sorry." 

"Can we please just go home Harry I' tired of all this drama. Let's just go home and decorate our baby's nursery." I whisper and he smiles before nodding lightly. 

"Call a nurse to come unhook you and we can get you dressed. Then we'lll head to London." 

"Okay." I hit the button on the side of the bed and a nurse walks in. 

"Ready to go home honey?" she says with a smile and I nod happily. She chuckles and comes oer unhooking my iv and such. She leaves and harry helps me get dressed. He wraps his arm around me leading me down the hal towards the front desk. he signs me out and pulls me out the doors. Paul waits with the car and drives us to the airport. I ignore Harry on the flight back to London staring out the window thinking of Ashton. How could he think it was okay for Harry to hit him?
