Thank you too my friends and followers who've read and voted! Love you all! -Chipotle xx

Harry's POV 

I feel my moms gaze on me as I balance my elbows on my knees, staring down at the gray and white tile floor. I shift my body and forcefully push my elbows on my thighs, hoping to feel something, anything, but feeling nothing. I ball my hands into fists and push on my thighs as hard as I can. Nothing. Exhausted I sit back on the chair that would normally be making my butt numb, letting out a sigh.

No one knows how bad it is feeling like your body has betrayed you.

"Harold Edward Styles" she finally says in a stern voice after what feels like forever

"Mom I-"

"No, you said enough ten minutes ago, now you're going to listen"

I look over at her, surprised at her newly found authority. She's leaning on the wall diagonal from where I sit, her arms are crossed over her chest and her eyebrows are pushed together in anger her eyes cold.

"You had no right talking to Alex that way, she's done nothing to you"

I tilt my head back at the sound of Alex's name. A hint of guilt appears, but I push the feeling away.

"Look at me Harry, what she said was the truth and only the truth. Everything she said entirely true, I'm sorry I wasn't the one to tell you but I wasn't sure how or when to tell you. She lied to you yes, but she's hurt more than you and I combined and you mistreated her after she tried so hard to make sure you were okay when she rejected you."

I look up at her as a pang of hurt courses through my body at the memory

"That's not the way I've raised you Harry, I hope you realize that in letting Alex go, you're letting a good thing go. You've pushed her away for so long and the whole time she just pushes back,"

She unfolds her arms, takes her bag from the table under the T.V and begins to walk away, stopping at the door 

"One day, she's going to get tired of pushing" she looks back at me one last time before closing the door behind her leaving me alone, again. 

Alex's POV

"I'm sorry for calling you this late" I say as I shut the door of Louis car behind me

"Alexandra it's only ten o'clock" He smiles at me, pulling away from the curb

I click my seat belt on and take in the features of his car. I don't know anything about cars but his looks expensive. The seats are black leather and the center console of the car is covered in buttons and knobs, making the car look futuristic. 

"Do you want me to turn the heat up?" Louis asks

I was to mesmerized by his cars interior to notice that I was soaked from the rain and shaking

"Uh, sure, thanks." I smile 

He reaches over to one of the ten round nobs, turning it left. Warm air begins to fill the small space of the car. I look over at Louis who's eyes are on the rode. 

"Sooooo, which way?" he asks with a smirk 

He probably caught me staring

"Left" I say as Louis drives away from the hospital, away from Harry.

Harry's POV

I grip the handlebars of the chair and try to push myself up. The doctor says physical therapy might take months but I don't want to spend half or all of my senior year in high school in this fucking chair. I won't.
