15. Have you missed me?

Harry Pov

"Hello sister. Have you missed me?"
"What.. the..wha.."
"Gemma don't faint please! It's me.. it's me I'm alive!"
"MOM!!" She yelled and started crying  like crazy. She fell on the floor at my feet and I tried to pick her up when mom came into view.
"Gemma wha...Oh my Goodness Gracious!!!! HARRY???"
"Mom I survived!!" I cried laughed. Gemma got up and all three of us hugged.
"God Harry we thought you were dead! We grieved you for a whole year, Gemma cried."
"I know sister, I am so sorry I wasn't able to send you a word."
"Come inside, my darling, come." Mom hold my hand.
"Wait Shawn's here too, only he's injured."
"Oh God why didn't you tell anything, let's get you both inside."

I took Shawn's arm over my shoulders and hold him around his waist, helping him go inside.
"Good evening ma'am, miss Gemma. Ah.."
"Sorry.."
"What happened to you both? Why are you injured, Jesus we were so devastated Harry."
"I know mom, we'll tell you everything in a bit. How is everybody? How is Louis doing?"
"That moron? He married Briana.."
"Gemma." Mom threw looks to my sister I was took by surprise.
"He what?" I couldn't believe that.
"He married her, for the sake of the baby. There was no actual wedding.. just papers. But you need to know that he's not doing well at all. He's in depression, he is having nightmares about you.. all that sort of stuff." Mom said on a serious note.
"Who told you this?" I asked.
"Jay told me. He's staying with her.. since you supposedly died he screams in his sleep."
"Oh.. didn't know about that." Gemma said looking away.
"Boys how is this possible, how did you managed to come back alive after you were called dead?"

"Mom I promise I will tell you, but first let me take a shower.. We both stink and I'm full of mud."
"Oh yeah sure whatever is best for you." She stroke my head smiling.
I got up but Gemma took my hand.
"Harry.. are you going to go back to that hell?"
"No sis, this time we're back for good. We defeated anyway." I smiled at her and she did the same.
"Mom, please call the boys and tell them I am back. I want to see them all."
"Should I call Louis too?"
"I'll call him."

I went upstairs and unpacked a small bag of things that used to be mine. I've found my phone, put it on charge and then I dialed Louis' number. He picked up after the third ring.

"Is this a stupid joke?" He asked harshly but I could feel the tremble in his voice.
"I'm back." I said bluntly.
"Harry? Is that.. how is this.. is this even possible?"
"I'm alive apparently." 

"MOM HARRY'S ALIVE!!!" He screamed over the phone. "You still there?"
"Yeah."
"I'm not dreaming.. am I?"
"No.. you're not. I made it back alive. Long story."

"And you're not a ghost?"

"No I'm not, Louis.. it's me Harry." I chuckled

"Where are you now?"

"I'm in Holmes at my moms."
"Don't move, I'm coming over!!"

I went downstairs. Where Gemma was talking to Shawn.
"Louis is coming over."
"The boys are too, they were thrilled at the news."
"I should go get this dirt off."

I showered quickly and the water felt so good on my beaten up skin. I promised myself another long bath later but for now I missed my boys so shower number 2 can wait. I slipped on a pair of trainers that were now too loose on me, and a black t shirt. I helped Shawn get changed too.

"Babe your wound is kind of nasty since the last time.. we should go to a hospital.."
"No no it's fine.."
"Shawn.. this is getting infected. You have to get that bullet out.."
"After you'll see your friends ok?"
"Fine but it's not good for you..let me take a look.. at least change this gauze with a new one."
"Okay.."
"Mom bring me some gauze and bandages please."
"Sure baby in a sec."
She brought me a few packs and I started to unfold the old one off of Shawn's tight. It looked so nasty.
"Aah bloody hell it hurts like crap!" Shawn cursed.
"I know babe, I know I'm sorry but it got infected."
"Ahhh!!"
"Sh sh shh Gemma soothed him, stroking his curly hair off of his face while I was doing my thing."
"This will hurt you like hell but I have no choice.. sorry babe." I said and tried to desinfect his wound. He was in so much pain.
"AAAHH Stop please stop it hurts so bad!!!" He screamed in pain and I tried to sooth him while I tried to clean a bit more of the wound, meanwhile someone knocked on the door. Right when my mom opened Shawn screamed like he was in hell.
"Ahh it fucking hurts stop please no more!"
"Shh I'm done babe, just wraping it up and I'm done." He was heavy breathing on the couch. I could hear voices in the back but I was concentrated to do as best as I could.
I wraped the bandages on his tight.
"Auch.. he said less screaming this time."
"Almost done babe, almost done." I knew I had audience.
"Gems can you bring some pain killers and a glass of water?"
"Sure."
"I'll give you some pills for pain but I don't know if they're strong enough. We'll go to the ER as soon as I talk to the boys, alright?"
"Sure" he could barely spoke.
"I'll be right back." I said kissing his forehead. I went to the kitchen where Louis, Liam and Niall were waiting to see me.
"Hi guys.." they all turned to me and I was imediatly invaded with hugs and kisses.
"Harry we were so lost without you.. we missed you so much."
"Lads let me just rinse this blood off."
"Who's blood is that?" Niall asked.
"You're injured??" Liam startled worried.
"No, it's not mine.. it's Shawns."
"What happened?"
"He got shot oh his thigh while he was covering me, still got the bullet in there."
"Isn't he supposed to be in the hospital?"
"He is but he didn't want to go until I saw you guys."
"What a good lad, let's get him to the hospital though."
"Yeah I agree.. I'll call for an ambulance."
"Sure go ahead, thanks Li."
Until now Louis hadn't spoke. I turned my attention to him. He looked at me tears strimming down his face.
"Come here.." I said opening my arms. He got off the chair and stormed himself into my chest crying.
"Ahh." I escaped a small whimper.
"What was that? Harry are you hurt?"
"No no it's nothing, really."
"Harry?"
"I might have a couple of broken ribs but I'm fine."
"Harry... "
"Louis what did you do? Why did you married her?"
"It was a bad necessary.. actually I didn't have a choice.. I was forced to."
"You didn't want to?" I asked my voice trembling.
"Noo not at all Hazza, you know how much I love.. how could I.." he was holding my dried wounded hands in his and he gazed at them. "What happened to your soft hands?" He whispered tears welling up in his eyes.
"They've been through a lot, like stones, mud, cuts and stuff like that."
"Oh Harry.." he cried again. "I have one question though.."
"What question?"
"Are we going to be back together?"
"I don't know what to say, you're a married man now, and.. I'm not sure if that's ok."
"I can divorce.."
"Louis.. let's think more about this and drop it for now okay? I really don't want you to get in trouble."
"I'm not.."
"Baabe.. it hurts so baad" Shawn yelled from the couch.
"Babe?" Louis asked confused. "Oh you're together.. I see.." he mumbled looking to his shoes.
"Louis.." I whined.
"No, no it's okay I get it."
"Harry, ambulance is here." Liam said.
"I'm coming.. sorry Lou, I'll see you later, I promise."
"Ok.. I'll wait for you." He saddened.
"What happened with him?" The nurse said.
"We just got back from the battlefield and he's been shot in his thigh. I tried and change his bandages but I think it's infected."
"Let's go to the hospital and will see there. Let's pick him up and move!"
