Chapter Eighteen.

Harry stared at his mum.

Her face was pale and her bones were prominent. She definitely looked sick.

Harry reached up and smoothed her newly grown hair off her forehead.

She kinda looks like Rizzo from Grease.

The doctor said that her body wasn't adjusted to the thin blood that was coursing through her veins for her heart stopped pumping. Harry gave two pints of blood and they put some in Anne's body. She perfect now, except for the cancer.

"Harry, I'm sorry I scared you." Anne lifted her shaking hand and wiped away Harry's tears.

Harry let out a breath. He smiled weakly, "I love you so much mum. I'm sorry I can't pay for your treatment. I love you so so so much. Everything I have ever done wrong; I'm so sorry. I love you."

Anne looked ready to cry. "You haven't done anything wrong. I love you more than anything. You and Gemma are my life. Now give your mumma a hug."

Harry wrapped his arms around his mum and buried his face in her bony shoulder.

"Now, who is this boy Gemma told me about?"

Harry bit his lip.

Karen Payne and Jay Deakin walk in.

They each had a child in their arms.

"Earnest and Doris couldn't stay away from their godmother." Jay smiled.

After the children were in Anne's skinny arms, she looked at Harry expectantly.

"Long story...."

Louis was fuming. He was so pissed at everything and anything that he couldn't even look anyone without feeling the need to cause them to hurt as much as he does.

Harry didn't show up to school, which is insane because Harry never skips. It hurts Louis so much that he hurt Harry so badly that he is jeopardize his scholarship just to get away from Louis.

He had two lectures that day and he just knew that they'd be tedious.

Louis sat in the back of class writing words down aimlessly. He had a melody in his head and was trying to fit words to it.

Louis thought of how cold it was in Harry's flat.

You've been sleeping with my sweater.

Which, Louis didn't know, was true. Harry was sleeping in the jumper Louis gave him.

Louis started thinking about how he never really was nice to Harry. Before the bet, Louis didn't spare a glance.

Yeah, and you're not invisible

hear me out, there's so much more to life than what you're feeling now

Louis couldn't think about how Harry must feel right now. Louis hates himself so much.

"I win."

Harry threw the cards down in a fit of rage, "You're so cheating!"

"Am not," She defended herself.

Harry laughed, "No one wins at go fish fifty consecutive times in a row."

Anne laughed, "You're just mad because I have more skills than you." Anne smiled and danced in her victory.

Harry lifted up her hospital blanket to find three ace of hearts, two number six black spades, and four five red diamonds.
