The New Girl

Chapter 63 - Change has come.

Harry Styles.

Sitting in the waiting room was torture. I wanted to be by Aurora's side and make sure she was okay. I wanted to keep her safe, just like my mother. I allowed both of them to get hurt and I can't help but feel nothing but guilt.

If anything happens to Aurora, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. She's the one that keeps me sane, especially now since my mother is gone. I can't lose Aurora as well.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, causing me to turn to face him. "I know you're blaming yourself and you have to stop that. You had no control over the situation." Louis nodded.

I shook my head, "That's the thing... I did, I did have control of the situation. I could've blocked his path, tackled him to the floor, anything! I literally could've done anything to prevent him from getting to Aurora, but I didn't and now-"

"Shut up, Styles! There was literally nothing you could do, it all happened so fast!" Louis shouted.

Louis only snapped like this a very few number of times. Not enough to reach double digits, so of course I looked surprised when he did.

"I'm sorry... I'm just worried about Aurora and she wouldn't want you to blame yourself. You beat yourself up too much and it hurts not only me, but everyone around you." He sighed.

I looked at my feet, unable to think of something to say next. I knew it would hurt them to go through these things. I knew them watching me feel sorry for myself or blame myself for anything was something they always tried to prevent. I just... I just feel like all this is happening to Aurora because I got involved with her.

"I've noticed something change in you, Harry." Louis spoke again, "When you first met Aurora, I can tell she was special to you... we all did. We knew she'd change you somehow, but we never thought she'd make you open up to us more."

I smiled, "It's crazy. The things this girl has made me do."

"She made you stop smoking and sleeping around." Niall chuckled, "I never thought I'd see the day where you actually remained loyal to one person." He added.

Even though he was making fun of me, I can see his genuine smile. Even though we've had our fights and we've all been through some shit, he was still happy that I've finally found someone that's not only willing to forgive my past, but someone who keep me sane.

Sabrina laughed, "I never once thought you'd be begging me to tell you where Aurora was just so you could apologize. I've never seen you look so desperate."

"Not to mention the fortune you spent on getting both Aurora and myself back." Louis added.

All these reminders were bringing back so many memories that I've shared with all of them and Aurora. It has made me realize just how good for me she really is and sitting hear not knowing whether she's alright or not was killing me.

"I swear, if I don't hear from a doctor soon I'm going to explode." I snapped, holding my head in my hands.

"Relax, Harry, just let them finish what they have to do. I'm sure she'll be alright." Liam nodded.

The pain in my chest was growing the longer I was separated from her. I wanted -no, I needed to be with her. She lost so much blood back at the police station. My hands were covered in blood by the time they arrived and that only made the feeling in my stomach worst. I needed to know that she'll survive, that she'll continue to show me how to be a better person. Now with the twins out of the way, we'll be able to be happy.
