Chapter 26 - Chances

26

Therese's POV

Does he really deserve another chance? After what he did?

I know i'm stupid if I easily give him another chance just like in movies and love stories. I just love him that much that I can't stay mad at him for too long.

Where did he run off to? I bet he's still outside. The wires in my arms seemed annoying, I try my best to raise my hand but it was just too difficult. I tried again and finally I was able to raise it and place my hand on my arm. My fingertips making contact with the needles inserted in my arm and I carefully pulled them off.

Despite my numb body I force myself to push myself off of the bed until my feet were dangling on the edges. I carefully lower myself and my bare feet reached the cold floor. I couldn't even feel my legs yet I'm trying so hard to walk.

My head feels like it's going to snap off my neck. After what feels like a few minutes I finally reached the door and as I twist the knob I could see Louis sitting on one of the chairs across me, his face was in his hands. I was struggling to walk so I cleared my throat to get his attention, which did and his eyes were wide open once he saw me.

"Thea, what the heck are you thinking!" He quickly stands to my side to assist me. He leads me to one of the seat and he helped me sit down.

"Sorry," I frown, looking down at my hands as I play with my fingers.

"Why are you here? What about the injections that were injected into you?" He ignores my previous statement.

"I pulled them off." I shrug. "I wanted to talk."

He takes me by surprise when he takes my hands and intertwines our fingers.

"What if you weren't supposed to pull those off? What if you start getting sick and-" i cut him off.

"You should break rules while you're young." I reminded him.

He cracked a smile and I finally smiled too. I was happy despite our argument, that I could still be the reason for his smile.

"Yeah I've heard of that a couple of times." He smiles looking down at our laced fingers.

"Sorry." I start off. "Sorry for everything."

"What are you sorry for? You didn't do anything." He finally makes eye contact with me, I studied his face and it was clear with confusion.

"I should have listened to your explanation first, before I start jumping into conclusions."

"Alright I'll explain." He sighs. "I went to that party to cool off. I didn't sleep with that girl that night when you saw us."

"But you went with her."

"Yeah, I followed her upstairs to think of how to explain to you but I swear nothing happened between us."

"The kiss."

"We had a bet if she makes me laugh, I'd kiss her." He pauses. "But how could I not laugh at her if every time she laughs she would snort." He lightly chuckles.

I shake my head with a smile on my face, even though I'm still hurt by the fact he had kissed another girl. I really don't know what our relationship is, we're not really official.

"What are we?" I asked again.

"We're a couple whom are madly deeply in love with each other." He smiles at me. "Don't worry I'd ask you out on dates and all those lovey dovey things."

"Lovey dovey?" I repeat whilst laughing.

"Yeah, it seems too overrated to call those 'sweet things'" he shrugs. "I just want to be near you and i'm happy."

I smile. "I love you Louis."

"I love you Thea."

After a week and a few days I had finally got out of the hospital. My mom would rarely visit while Louis stayed by my side. The doctor got mad at me for removing the injections connected to me.

Louis carried the bags while I was walking beside him towards his car, Zayn had stepped out of the driver's seat and approached us, he took some of the bags from Louis and we both exchanged hellos.

Once our things were inside the trunk both Louis and I were at the second row, his arms were around me while I rest my head on his shoulder. Harry was on his phone while waiting for Zayn to come back in the car and start to drive us home.

The drive back to Louis house was silent, Zayn would often start a small conversation and suddenly it would be quiet. It wasn't that awkward though since Louis was with me.

The vehicle had stopped moving, and soon Zayn and Harry got out of the car and head to the trunk of the car to retrieve our bags. Louis and I got out as well and he assisted me in walking.

"I'm fine Louis." I weakly smile, placing my hand on his forearm.

"I hate seeing you get hurt." He probably meant me tripping on my own feet and end up scraping my knee.

I stayed silent, not knowing how to reply. Zayn and Harry were already ahead of us with our bag strapped around their shoulder whilst Louis and I walk slowly towards his house.

As we enter the front door, Zayn and Harry had already placed the bags on one of the sofas.

"We'll see you two soon, bye." Zayn says.

Harry waves goodbye with a dimpled smile present on his face.

"Are you ready?" Louis sighs, taking a seat on the long sofa.

"Ready for what?" I took a seat beside him, leaning on his shoulder.

"To know who I really am." He looks down at me, his face laced with sadness and fright.
