How long will it take?

Chapter 14

Holaaa again, I thought I'd do a quick update today to celebrate the boys and their 4 year anniversary! It's gone so quick since 2010 and I am so so proud of them and what they have achieved! Please keep reading and voting and commenting, it means a lot. x

Also, what is your favourite song from Midnight Memories? Mine has got to be Better than words or Half a heart :)

Lola's POV

My eyes fluttered open to the sound of his beautiful voice and I couldn't help but smile when I listened to the lyrics. My heart beat rapidly as I watched him look at me as he was singing, his eyes looked so sad yet they glistened so brightly I couldn't look away. When he sang I thought all my troubles would just melt away and the only thing I needed was him. When I broke away from his gaze I realised the rest of the boys and Dani were also sat around me, with worried expressions on their faces, but when Harry had finished singing I quickly spoke to them to make them feel ok.

"Don't look so worried, I promise you I'll be ok." I whispered to them, not wanting to raise my voice in case I triggered something off again.

"But, but, Lola, you're not ok." Liam sighed.

"You don't need to remind her, idiot. She's just being optimistic." Louis replied to him, making me giggle as he hit Liam on the back of the head. As soon as I laughed my cough started again and this time I could feel my head becoming lighter so I laid down as quick as possible and waited for it to pass, but it didn't.

Harry was quick to prop me up and rub my back whilst I choked but the cough wouldn't go. Tears started to form in my eyes as the pain got too much, and my throat felt like I'd swallowed broken glass. As I started to heave, Zayn ran out to fetch a nurse but by the time she got there, the blood had already spilled from my mouth and had covered the entire bed sheet. I looked around at the shocked faces and all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and die. These people around me didn't need to see me in such a weak state and they surely didn't need to see me coughing up my insides.

"I'm so so sorry." I gasped to them, the tears had fallen and were rolling down my cheeks. Harry rubbed my back gently in comfort and shushed my apologies, Dani squeezed my hand in understanding but the boys still looked on in shock.

"I can't believe this." Louis shook his head and walked out, Niall followed him.

"Don't you dare apologise Lo, this isn't your fault honey. You just don't deserve this." Liam gestured to me in my bed and the nurse ran in.

"Oh look at you, you poor bugger. Lets get you cleared up." She said, trying to smile but grimacing at the thought of clearing my blood up. I looked at her apologetically and my eyes wandered up to see Harry staring down at me, a frown on his face.

"I told you, Lo. I fucking told you not to overdo it." He shook his head at me but kept my hand in his grasp.

"What if you never woke up, what would I do then, huh?" He questioned me, a sad look crossing his features.

"I would've woken up Harry because I knew you were beside me and I knew that we had to make our relationship official." I told him with a small smile. His eyes lit up at the thought of me hearing everything he had to say.

"So, you want to be my girlfriend?" He stuttered, I'd never seen him this nervous and it was cute to see him not at all confident and flirtatious.

"I'd love to. Now go and find Louis before he faints and let me get cleared up." I pointed to the blood covering me, how romantic, I thought.

Harry laughed at my disgusted expression and his dimples came out as he beamed at me. He quickly kissed me on the head and ran out to find the boys. Before I knew it, his head was poked around the corner and he winked cheekily at me.
