Unexpected Love

CHAPTER 4

“Don’t leave me” I said in tears. “Please stay with me!” I leaned over her body, looking at her, as if my stare would bring her back “don’t leave me! I NEED YOU!” the tears wouldn’t stop streaming down my face, as I tried to understand what had happened, I was leaning over her body, her dead body, she was pale her lips were purple, her eyes were closed, she was silent, silence surrounded the hospital room, silence behind the long ‘beep’ of the machine connected to her body.  I couldn’t believe this, this must be a lie. I started to breathe heavily, as if I was choking; breathing got harder and harder as I cried over her body. I buried my head on her chest, as if I’d bring her back, but it was impossible, she was dead, she was gone, I’d never see her. “Don’t leave me” I kept calling after her, “I need you, and you’re everything I have left”.

I heard my name being called, the voice was distant but constant, they started to move me as I opened my eyes, and I looked at Harry as I felt the tears streaming down.

“It was just a dream” he said, his husky voice like music to my ears, I nod slowly and sit back on the couch, I hugged my knees and thought of my dream, it was that same dream, the reminder that my mom was gone, two years ago. Two Years Ago. I sighed and felt Harry’s arm around my shoulder, he pulls me close to him and whispers to my ear “it was just a  dream, I know you didn’t mean me, but I’m staying here” I gasped and tears kept coming, I speak in my dreams, or at least I did today. I nod burying my head in his chest, his cinnamon cologne feeling my nose, I love cinnamon. I looked up at him, this was perfect. I might be in pain, but he’ll be with me… Did he mean that as my friend? Or as more than a friend? I shook my thoughts not caring; all I need is a friend, someone to be with me, someone to support me. I suddenly feel someone hugging me from the other side, I look up to see Louis hugging me, he gives me a cheeky smile and hugs me as all the boys gather around me and hug me.

“Everything is going to be fine, Rache” I hear Niall say.

“We’ll never leave you” Zayn said in a low voice.

“We’re your friends, and we’ll always be here, for you” Liam snaps.

I smile at the thought of having them, 5 friends, and the best I could ask for. I know I barely know them, but maybe they mean it maybe they will never leave me, maybe they are my friends. I nod slowly at them and hug each one of them.

“Thanks guys” I say between sniffs. I cried a lot, I just can’t get over the fact that I’ve lost my mom, but maybe I found someone who’ll be always there for me, and it’s not only one person, they are 5 boys. I smile as Niall yells he’s hungry.

“Niall, are you really always hungry?” I giggle softly waiting for his reply. He nods enthusiastically and runs into the kitchen grabbing a bag a chocolate chip cookies, I smile widely and run up to him.

“I WANT COOKIES!” I yell in his ear, he jumps and loks at me.

“Rache, don’t yell in my ear! It’s rude!” he says, pretending he’s hurt. I giggle and nod grabbing the bag of cookies from his grasp and walking towards the living room where all the boys are sitting down. I sat next to Liam and Louis as I start eating cookies.

“You know, you should eat carrots” Louis says in a wink while he eats his carrot. I giggle and shake my head.

“I only eat carrots in special occasions” I joked, they all laugh and look at me, they were all serious now. Niall came into the room and pushed Liam who was now on the floor and Niall was sitting next to me.

“So, Rachel” Harry starts, they’re all staring at me. It’s actually uncomfortable, I nod my head to let Harry know that I’m paying attention “what was your dream about?” he asks, they’re all waiting for an answer, I sigh as I’m conscious of the tears forming in my eyes now. I look at each one of them and lean on the couch, making myself comfortable before starting.

“Well, Harry, and guys. It wasn’t much of a dream, I was re-living the worst moment in my life” I take a deep breath and close my eyes, trying to avoid the tears. I feel a hand been placed on my back and look up at Harry, who is now in the place of Louis. He gives me a reassuring smile as telling me to keep talking; I nod and take one more deep breath. And I go back to that day, the day I lost everything I had.
