Who Knew (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 24

“So how did you guys find out about you know.” I ask Nina, gesturing to myself. “Oh. Well Harry was singing at the time. The crash itself wasn’t heard or anything. All of a sudden an old lady came in screaming about a young man being hit by a car. Immediately me and lots of other people came to look outside and what I saw was just……………horrifying. A huge puddle of blood and then I saw it was you…………..oh god.” Nina says and begins to tear up.

“Hey, it’s alright you don’t have to say anymore.” I rub her back, regretting hugely for asking her that, making her remember those horrible memories. “But what about the car?” “That’s the thing Tommy, when me and the others came outside there was no car in sight.” She answers and I frown. I was definitely hit by a car. “The car must have gotten away then.” “Yeah, that’s the only possible explanation.”

“Wait, do my parents know what happened?” I ask her in a concerning voice. Oh my god, if they hear about this they will totally freak out. Means no more job, being watched 24/7---------- “It’s fine Louis, I’ve already taken care of that. I’ve said that you, me and your colleagues have this little tour, going to sing in different bars around the province. Your manager arranged it and it’s about two weeks long.” Nina interrupts my train of thoughts.

I stare at her in shock. “How did you even come up with that?! Did they believe it?!” I ask her, completely amazed by the lie she told my parents. “Well, it did take a few moments to come up with it but Liam helped me and it worked. But I have to admit, your parents are two tough cookies, I showed them a picture of your colleagues to make it more trustable. They didn’t really like it that it was so sudden, they kind of would have liked a notice beforehand.” She says showing me the pictures of everyone. That sneaky girl, she took those while they were not looking. But I have to admit, I’m impressed. It usually takes some effort for my parents to believe things since they most of the time can detect lies from me. I do feel a bit bad for them, having to hide all this but they can’t know.

“So you and Liam huh?” I grin widely at her. Her eyes widen for a bit and she looks down and starts fidgeting with her hands. “You two seem awfully close now.” Nina’s cheeks start to tint a pinkish color and she gives a nervous chuckle. I just sit there with a look of victory and thoroughly enjoy her reaction.

“Well he was extremely kind. He was at my side the whole time up until now. Whenever I had a breakdown, scared of that I might lose you, he comforted me.” she says shyly and scratches her cheek. Awe, this is so adorable, the shy Nina coming out. “Well that look he gave you before he went away with Harry, told me more than enough.” and I think back to the way Liam looked at her, I almost approve but I need more time to judge.

“But what about you and Harry huh? Don’t think that I didn’t notice him holding your hand the whole time since when you woke up.”

Now it’s her turn for a victorious smile and for me to blush. Shit, now I regret saying anything at all. “Seriously though, he freaking loves you Tommy! When he saw that you were laying there unconscious on the road, he almost lost it. He immediately screamed for Liam to get the car and drove here with deadly speed, I thought I was gonna faint at some point.” She says and looks at me.

“And after you went through surgery, apparently none of your organs were seriously damaged, only some major cuts and a slight concussion. But now the best and sweetest part.” and she looks at me with a wide grin again.

“After surgery was done and you were put in this room, Harry never  left this room. Liam tried to persuade him to get some fresh air but he refused every time, saying that he will not leave your side. AND YOU KNOW WHAT! HE LITERALLY HELD YOUR HAND THE WHOLE TIME AND KEPT SAYING TO PLEASE WAKE UP, HE EVEN KISSED YOUR FOREHEAD!” and then Nina totally turns into fangirl mode.

By now my head must look like a tomato. Did Harry seriously do all that?! I glance at Nina who’s still squealing like a high school girl, no she’s not the person that would lie to me. Well, I did feel sot lips on my forehead and also him saying for me to wake up, so she isn’t lying. Wow, this is sure a lot to take in. Does Harry like me then? I shake my head, he was just very worried. But actually I do like him, a lot honestly. From the first encounter, I had this weird feeling but ignored it. However when we first made skin contact at the piano, it totally changed. I enjoy it way more than I would like to admit. This is so weird, I have to take my mind off this.

“So what have you been doing the past days while I was out?” I ask Nina for distraction. “Uh, nothing really. Basically I kept checking up on you, ate, drank and slept. I didn’t go anywhere, I wanted to see you wake up so I just stayed in this building the whole time.” She answers me.

She really is my best friend. “But what about your parents and your job? What did you tell them?” she works in her parents shop and a book shop, I wonder what she told them.

“I told my parents that I will be tagging along with you, quite lucky because they are on a business trip and won’t be coming back in until three weeks. And about the bookshop, I told the owner I had to tag along with my parents on their business trip.” Damn, that girl with all these well made up lies, I’ll ask her for some in the future. In my head I already make a mental note for that.

“What do you think they will tell us when you’re all better again? I get a feeling that for some reason, it’s gonna be about them being that and shit.” she asks me. “Well, you aren’t the only one thinking that. I’m kind of ashamed for reading so much fanfictions about werewolves you know.” I say to her. “No shit.”

Slowly the sound of a door opening is heard and the both of us look up, only to see Zayn along with Niall, who has a plastic bag with some stuff in it.

“Louis! Oh my god! How are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?” Niall rushes to me, speaking in a concerning voice. Zayn moments later, comes and stands right next to him, both looking concerned. I chuckle a bit.

“Well luckily it’s not that bad, only some major cuts and a slight concussion that’s all. Could have been worse.” I say and I see a wave of relief across their faces. “That’s good to hear.” Zayn says and we all nod in agreement.

“Here, we didn’t really know what to get so we bought some random stuff.” Niall hands me the bag. Looking inside there are bags of chips, chocolate bars and different candies. Looks like I will be enjoying myself for a little while.

“Since you are still recovering, we will leave you be. There is still some stuff we need to do so we’ll see you later then. Oh but don’t feel sad, Harry and Liam will come as soon as they’ve had their rest.” Niall says in a cheery voice and is then dragged away by Zayn. “We’ll see you soon.” he says and then it’s just Nina and me again.

“That was awkward.” “No shit.”

“I think we should just let our minds rest for now.” and I throw her a chocolate bar. I take a bag of chips and then we just talk about random stuff together.

Not wanting to be left alone in this room for the night, I made some space and we both fell asleep on the small but luckily comfy bed.
