Chapter 5

Nigella

"Thanks for the ride, Harry" I say, sincerely.

"My pleasure, love. I was coming to meet Jillian anyway" He shrugs.

"Oh right" I nod. "She's in the same hospital"

"Yeah, so I'll see you later. We're going home together right?" He asks.

"Yeah, I guess. My house is still under investigation" I reply with a sigh.

"Hey, you can stay at my flat as long as you want okay?" He puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you, Harry" I say, thankfully.

"You're welcome, Nigella" He squeezes my shoulder, reassuringly.

I never met someone like Harry. Someone so kind, caring, charming and handsome. Harry is the type of person that will do anything for anyone. He's extremely caring. I bet he's never even hurt a fly. Any girl who will have him as her partner will be the luckiest girl.

"I'll go now. Bye" He says snapping me out of my trance. He turns around to walk away. He waves at me one last time before he disappears into the crowd.

I look around and realize I have nothing to do. I sigh and decide to sit down. I put my head in my hands and just sit. I don't wanna lose Nathan. I can't lose Nathan. He's all I have left. If I lose him, I'll not be able to live. I lost enough people.

"Sissy, it hurts" Norah sobs as she lays on my lap.

"I know, baby" I cry.

"Do you wove us?" Nigel chokes out.

"Yes, more than anything" I say.

"We wove you more" He croaks.

Then there's nothing but silence and two dead bodies of my young siblings on my lap.

A gasp tumbles out of my mouth as the scene replays in my mind. I wipe my cheeks, wiping the tears away.

"Ms. Winchester?" A voice says making me look up.

"Yes, doctor?" I sniffle and stand up.

"Are you alright, my dear?" He asks, genuinely concerned.

"I don't know" I sigh.

"There's nothing worry about anymore. Mr. Winchester is in a better state now. He wants to see you" He informs. "You can go in"

I nod quickly, and rush inside Nathan's room. I see my brother lying on the hospital bed with wires and tubes sticking out of his body. I wince at the scene. His hazel eyes stare at the ceiling. His face is pale. He looks weak. This is not the Nathan I know.
"Nate?" My voice quivers. His eyes shift to me. All I can see is pain and sadness in them.

"Sweets?" I almost sob when he calls me by the nickname he gave me when I was born. I muster up the courage to slowly walk up to him. I stumble across the hospital room to the side of his bed.

"How are you?" I choke out.

"I feel amazing, you know" He tries to joke. I resist my urge to roll my eyes.

"Quit it" I grumble. "Seriously, are you okay?"

"Could've been better" He admits.

"I was so worried about you" I breathe out.

"Where have you been staying? As far as I know, our house is under investigation" He raises his eyebrows.

"Um..the cops told me that they can book a hotel for me, but you know Harry?...the boy whose niece has cancer? Yeah, he offered me to stay at his flat. I took the offer and I have to stay there until our house is done from all the investigation" I explain.

"You look so shaken up, why?"

"Because of all of this. I didn't wanna lose you. Your shooting reminded me of Norah and Nigel's shooting. I can't get it out of my head" I shake my head.

"Hey hey, I'm okay, yeah? Look, I'm fine. The surgery was successful, what else do you need? I'm always here for you, Ni" Nathan assures.

"And I'm very thankful for that" I smile, sadly. "I've been wanting to ask you something.."

"What is it? You're pregnant? With Harry's baby? Oh my god, my niece or nephew is going to be so beautiful a-"

"Dear God, no" I groan and roll my eyes. "It's just that, whenever I see Harry, I feel so nervous and I get a tingling sensation in my stomach. I don't know what it is. He makes me happy and I feel like-"

"You like him" He says, plainly.

"What?"

"You like him, that's why you're feeling this way" He shrugs.

"I know that..but it leaves a tension between us. I don't know how to make it go away" I bite my lip.

"Tell him, then" He suggests. How am I supposed to tell this to Harry? It's not that easy. I can't even talk properly in front of him- hell I can't even stand properly in front of him.

"It's not that easy, Nate" I sigh.

"Show him sings. Drop hints"

"Okay" I nod.

"And oh, please don't forget to invite me to your and Harry's wedding"
