****HARRY'S POV****
I got home and sat on the couch. "Hey hunnie!" mum said said hugging me tightly. "Hello mum. How was your day?" i asked her. "It was great!" she responded happily. Then i saw that i had a message on my phone screen. i picked up my phone and took a sip of water. i looked at the message; it was from Emily. My heart started beating faster. I took a deep breath and read it,
"Haz, I love you. Don't worry about me. okay? Bye. xx - Emmo."
When i read that, my heart sunk. What did this mean? Bye? Don't worry about me? I quickly kissed my mums cheek and said, "I'll be back!" She grinned and nodded. I got my coat and put it on. i put on my shoes abd walked out the door. i ran to Emily's house and almost went into the door. But then i remembered her stepfather was there... I snuck up the vine that trailed up and found her window.
I opened it slowly and quietly and crawled in. "Emily?" i whispered. No answer. "Emily?" i said alittle louder. I creaked open the bathroom door; and found the most horrific thing ever. Emily was lying across the floor with blood rishing from her wrists. "Dear god, no!" i whispered rushing over towards her. i sat by her side and grabbed a towel from the rack. i tried to wrap all the towels i could around her wrists to stop the bleeding. "Emily... why didn't you tell me.?" i thoguht. i felt a tear run down my cheek.
Then i heard a voice come up the stairs, "Hey you little slut! Why are you up in your room all day?" It was her stepfather. i quickly dragged her under the bed next to me. I heard someone open the door. I was shaking, holding Emily close to me now. "Come out!" the man boomed. "I know you're in here!"
He kneeled down, and he found me. "WHY IS THERE A BOY IN HERE UNDER THE BED?!!" he yelled grabbing her hair and pulling her out from under the bed. But i was still holding onto her whether it was the last thing i do. "Why are you here?" the man yelled, it looked like fire was in his eyes. "Sir-" i was interrupted my a big hand striking my face.
"Fuck!" i yelled falling back. "Why are you here!?" Emily's stepfather yelled again. i couldn't talk. I quickly got up and pointed to Emily. "Don't you see what has happened to her?!" i yelled, anger now folwing through my body. I picked up her wrists and shoved them closely to his face. "Do you actually think i give a shit?! That bitch can go die!" he yelled.
"She's not a bitch! You're the dousche! She already gets picked on enough by her classsmates in school! She's wonderful! She can make me laugh, make me smile any fucking time of the day! That's why i love her!" i yelled back. i just told her stepfather that i loved her... Oh god...
I picked her up and kicked him right in the stomach. "Fuck you!" i yelled spitting in his face. i kicked him another time and picked Emily up bridal-style. i walked out the door and downstairs. i looked around the house and went out the front door. That place was a mess. That man never has to worry about seeing Emily again. I put her in the passenger's seat and slammed the door. i sped to the hospital, about 80 mph. I was driving 40 mph over the spped limit. i didn't care though.
I carried her into the doors and told the doctors. I was shaking so much. Would she wake up? How long has she been like this? I waited out in the hospital waiting room for about 2 hours. Then a doctor came out. "You may go in and see her, Mr. Styles." she said flashing a smile at me. "Thanks..." i said going to the room.
I went into the door and found Emily, with tubes in her wrists and a heart moniter thing next to her. "What happened to her?" i asked the doctor who just came in. "This is the fifth self-harm issue this week... I'm guessing she cut too deep." the doctor said looking at her clipboard. I gasped.
She never told me she cut. Why not? I thought we were best friends... and i thought...someday....we would be...more than friends. I sat with her all day and all night. My mum came in and waved to me silently. "Hey! what are you doing here?" i asked her as she came over handing me a bag. I looked in the bag and there was a change of clothes in there. "There's a change of clothes in the bag. You need to go freshen up, Romeo." mum said motioning me towards the bathroom.
I quickly took a shower and went to the bathroom. i couldn't stand being an hour away from Emily; especially if she was like this. "You need to go to school sometime, Haz." mum said as i laid down next to emily. "I know, mum. but i'm not leaving her until she's good again." I said.
She smiled and said, "I know how you feel... you're in love." she said patting my head. i blushed nd said, "Well... not really in love... i just like her a lot." Then i felt something move next to me. I quickly looked over and saw Emily blinking a few times and opening and closing her mouth a little. Oh my god! She's awake!
