Edward's POV~

The cops cut me a deal. Apparently they wanted Sisuca bad enough to let me go with a warning -given that I testify against her in court. I agreed, not because I was afraid to go to jail, but because I didn't want to leave Harry defenseless.

I didn't go back to the hospital. Instead the Payne's got to take us home. Zayn and Harry were in the back seat. Whispering softly to each other. Liam had driven in his own car. No one spoke the whole car ride home. Besides the whispers from the back seat.

No one had said a word to me.

Suddenly I wished I was back in that hospital room. With Louis. I missed him. I knew he'd know what to do..but for the first time, I was lost. I didn't have a plan. I didn't know how to make everything okay. I didn't know what was gonna happen when we got back to the house. Or what Karen would say. Or whether or not Geoff would ever call me 'son' again. Even though it used to annoy me...I'd kill for him to say it now. But I don't think he ever will.

I was a monster. And it was my fault Harry was kidnapped. And now everyone knew it. Even Harry.

I don't think he'll ever forgive me.

I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.

The car stopped and we all got out. Once Geoff unlocked the door I went straight up to my room -the crutches made it hard -but the pain distracted me from the growing feeling in my chest.

I could hear them downstairs. Karen was fussing over Harry no doubt trying to feed him and coddle him. And Zayn was probably cuddling him on the couch and Geoff was probably asking if Harry was okay or something..but I couldn't bare to see it. I didn't need to see what a loving family looked like when I would never deserve to have one. I lost my best friend, my brother, and what could have been my family all in one stupid night. I almost threw my crutches in anger. But I didn't want the noise to draw attention. I fucking hate these things. I can't do anything with them. I sighed and sat down on my bed.

I should pack. Better to be prepared when they come up and tell me to leave. They won't want me here. Bret was right. I'm a danger to them. I'm a black hole.

I got up, leaving my crutches against the bed, I'd have to do this without them. I pulled out a duffle bag from the top of my closet and tossed it on the bed. Then I grabbed two pairs of black skinny jeans, a couple t-shirts, some socks, some underwear and a jacket. Once I'd rolled them up and placed them in the bag I grabbed a couple books I'd been meaning to read and tossed them in too.

I'd need money. I grabbed my copy of The Holy Bible which is hollowed out the inside of and stuffed with hundred pound notes. So I stuffed that in the bottom of the bag. I would've grabbed my charger -but I don't have a phone (I had to use the hospital phone to call Braedon). I tried to think of anything else I'd need..but then a knock sounded at my door. And before I could ask who it was, the door opened. It was Geoff.

"I promise I'll leave in the morning..I'd leave now but it really hurts to move and I'm really tired, but I've packed and I'll be out of here I promise...I'm really sorry, I never meant for any of this to happen..I was selfish and i put your family in jeopardy and I swear it won't happen again, just don't take it out on Harry. He had nothing to do with this and someone's gotta protect him and-" I was talking so fast and I could feel my eyes start to water and suddenly Karen was in the room too, "I didn't mean to hurt him...I swear I didn't mean to...it was an accident..." I sunk to my knees. My chest burned. Harry was in the doorway now too. "I'm sorry...I'm so so sorry..." I sobbed. And suddenly Geoff had his arms around me and for the first time I hugged him back. I clung to his jumper and sobbed into his chest. "I'm sorry..." I kept crying. I couldn't stop. The words just kept coming out of my mouth like a broken record. "I'm so sorry..." I could hear Karen sobbing but I didn't know why. When I looked up I saw Harry hugging her but her eyes were on me and she just kept crying.
