Bad Blood (h.s.)

Part Fifty-Two

Harry.

"Haz, come on! We can go home!" my mum happily sings as we wait in the boarding line for the plane. I squeeze Beth's hand, completely hating the fact I have to leave her after yesterday. I was mentally unstable that afternoon and I had no intentions of causing her to be pregnant. The condom broke and it caused our...child to pass away.

"Yes mum, we are going home."

She smiles at us and Beth leans her head on my shoulder, holding me to her closely. I don't want to leave her, not one bit. When you have a traumatic experience like that with the girl you love the most, you can't leave her. I felt that if I left her, I would have lost every feeling in my body. My hands couldn't leave her untouched, knowing she would feel alone, grieving in the loss of Angelee.

"You sure you are okay?" I whisper so only Beth can hear. She nods and looks up at me, a brave smile on her lips.

"I'm fine. You need to help your mom and make sure she feels safe and loved. Don't let her feel alone."

I kiss the top of her head and we walk, my mum and I reaching the last point before getting on the plane. My mum looks ecstatic to be leaving but I am upset. My mind is still set on Beth, her pain yesterday still only wanting to make sure she's safe and okay.

"Okay, Harry. Be safe and come back to me," she tells me, smiling up at me before letting go of my hand. I lean down and kiss her, not caring who sees.

"I love you Beth. Please stay in the hotel or hospital. You have my card and the keys to the rental car. Please, take it easy."

She nods and pecks my lips one more time. "I will. I love you too Haz," she smiles, winking at me due to the nickname my mum gave me at a young age. I smile at her and she waves, my feet walking onto the plane and away from Beth.

"And I did this to your room after you and Gemma left. I made it into a study and Gemma's is still a bedroom."

I nod and she guides me through my childhood home. My mind still flashes with the painful memories that took place in these walls. I walk up the stairs after my mum, swallowing my nerves and built up anxiety.

We pass my old room and I see my pair of Superman footies. My heart beats faster and I start to pant, my mum soon realizing and shutting the door. She grabs onto my wrists with one of her hands and places her other one on my cheek. She remembers how to handle me, calming me with her assuring words and looking into my eyes.

"I-I'm sorry mum," I tell her, her head shaking.

"You have nothing to worry about Harry. I forgot."

I nod and she walks me to Gemma's old room, letting me put my suitcase down.

"I'm going to make some tea. Please relax and calm down. I will lock the room to hide stuff okay?"

I hug her, something I don't do, and she jumps, obviously startled by my actions. My head buries into her neck and she holds me, her arms comforting me.

"Thank you," I whisper in her ear, her stature slightly taller than Beth's.

"I love you Haz. And I intend to keep you this time." She smiles up at me and I let her go. She walks out of the room and I unpack my bag, the one Beth packed for me. I smile as I do so, seeing random Polaroid's in the bag. She packed all my clothes and one of her shirts, probably so I can fall asleep easier. I completely unpack, tossing all my clothes in the drawers and shutting them. I pick up my back and a piece of paper falls out, my hands grabbing it and smiling.
