Chapter 15

Katherine's pov

Another day in this hospital went by without any visits from Aidan. I hope he felt guilty for what he had done.

I'd be going home tomorrow which I felt quite relieved about, not having to eat the food that was in here or laying in this uncomfortable bed all day and night.

The time was almost nine in the evening and I decided that sleep would make the night go by faster and it would be tomorrow even quicker. So that is what I did, I fell asleep.

I was awoken by something and opened my eyes slowly. I looked at the ceiling, to my right, nothing at the door, to my left I saw someone holding my hand in both their hands.

I saw the little cross and looked up to meet the familiar beautiful face of his. His eyes were shut and he was leaning back in the chair, was he asleep?

I squeezed my hand just a little bit to see if he was awake, as I did so he jerked his entire body and starred at me.

"Hi" I said smiling at him and leaned back against the headboard whilst looking at him.

"Why wouldn't you tell me?" He sounded disappointed, he sat up in the chair and got closer to the bed I was laying in.

"It didn't concern you" I tried saying calmly even though his voice made me uneasy.

"It didn't concern me?" Harry hissed and took a better grip of my hand.

"You're so fucking stubborn" He begun, "How would you feel if I was the one in here?"

Awful. Horrible. Angry. Sad. Terrified.

"I take your silence as shitty" He said and pulled away one of his hands from mine to pull it through his hair and then place it back on mine.

"I'm sorry" Is all I said and then I looked away from him. Him being disappointed in me felt horrible.

I notised him standing up and carefully he moved my body to the very far side of the bed and then got in beside me himself.

We laid on our sides turned towards each other and starred into the others eyes.

"Don't ever do that again" He mumbled and placed his hand in my hair stroking it.

"I'm sorry, Harry. I won't" I told him honestly and scooted closer to his warm body, he took the hint and wrapped his arms around mine.

It's weird how safe I feel with him, hearing his heartbeat against me is soothing and feeling his strong arms feels like nothing could ever hurt me.

"I told you to live at my place so he couldn't hurt you, Katherine" He said, his voice full of regret and I felt him squeeze my body tighter against his.

"I fell down the stairs" I told the lie again and hoped he would go with it.

"These idiots in here might believe that, but I don't" He said harshly and placed a kiss on top of my head.

"You know I'm not letting you back there now, do you?" His voice was serious and I swallowed hard.

"He's my boyfriend and I live there" I said quietly, almost hoping he wouldn't hear me.

"No, no more of that shit. He's a piece of crap and I'll gladly beat the life out of him because of what he's done to you. You're not going back there because you'll be with me" Harry's voice had turned into a voice of desperation and I could tell that he really didn't want me to go back there.

I remained quiet because I didn't know what else to do. Harry was right, he didn't treat me like someone should treat their partner but Aidan had his moments. Moments when he acted exactly like he had when we first met. So sweet and loving.

We also had something that Harry and I didn't. History.

-

It's been a little over a month since that night at the club when I met Harry. A lot had happened during this month and my confusion grew bigger every day.

Harry had dropped his job when he heard I was in the hospital, he still had a few days left in New York and many interviews left. The other boys had to come up with a story about Harry's sudden absence.

I was actually a bit angry with him for dropping everything the way he did when I said I was fine and he still came.

Although all Aidan had done was bring me into the hospital and then leave me. At least it was for work which he had to get done if he wanted any money.

I had just come back from work and was now in the apartment loading in groceries into the refrigerator. I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket and pulled it out.

Harry

"Me and the boys are going to this opening of a club tonight. Will you go with me? x"

I looked at the clock, 5 pm.

"Well aren't the boys with you?" I answered and smirked a little before sitting down on the sofa in the living room.

Harry

"It would be way more fun if you came along x" His respond made me smile stupidly and I felt my stomach turn.

"Fine. Pick me up" I put my phone away and went into my wardrobe and looked through it. I found a black short dress with spaghetti straps and a lace top. I chose a pair of black heels and combed through my hair.

I put it up in a high ponytail and put on a little makeup, some mascara, eyebrows, concealer, bronzer and a little brown on my eyelids. I don't use that much makeup but whenever I'm going out with Claire, she puts on everything she has.

I looked at my phone again and saw a text from Harry.

"I'll pick you up around 6 x"

When I looked at the time again, it was already 5:45 pm.
