"What do you mean?" I ask "I don't have any mess!" I lie, looking anywhere but his eyes. I'm totally confused as to why he's even here, we haven't spoken since his Birthday when the whole thing happened with Holly and Finn. To be totally honest, I thought my dad would be angry at the fact I beat up his step son - I guess not though.
"So then do you want to give me a reasonable explanation as to why your girlfriend is in hospital, you have marks all down your neck that I'm guessing aren't from Lola considering she sounds pretty week right now, and that you have a Pratt tied to a chair in Niall's apartment?"
Shit, I forgot about Jake. I bet Niall's pissed.
"Dad, I'm just worn out and I have a lot going on at the moment, everything should be sorted in a matter of days" I sigh, rubbing my forehead, he takes a few steps towards me and places a hand on my shoulder.
"Listen son, I know that everything must sound a little dramatic at the moment, but things will get better. You and Lola have only been together for a number of weeks now, that's when most of the problems occur because you're learning new things about one another that aren't always great. I can help you with Jake, I won't kill him, but I can sort him out for you" he shrugs as if it's nothing. My dad is a good person, he's never done anything to personally hurt me apart from the fact he left when I was fourteen and got a new family, but every month he would send money for my mum to look after myself and her - a part of me wonders whether he really did stop loving her. He also knows a lot about the 'gang' problems, my mum has little knowledge on it but knew something was up a few months back so she called him to knock some sense into me, and I pretty much told him everything.
"I really appreciate that, but you don't realize, Ed wants him dead or he'll hurt Lola" I lean back against the wall and down the drink I was supposed to give to my girlfriend.
"Harry I know what to do, I promise that no harm will come towards anybody that you love, okay?" He asks, reassuring me big time. I hesitate before sighing and nodding slightly.
"Thank you" I say quietly.
"Don't thank me, that's what fathers are for" he winks. "I'll call you when my plan comes into action, but for now just get that girl home and safe" he tells me and I smile at him before turning back to room 182 and opening it.
Lola is sat on the bed, her dark hair hanging over her face as she looks down and studies her fingers.
"Lola?" I ask quietly, careful not to scare her as it's near to silent in here. I take more steps into the room, her head snaps up at my voice and she sighs in relief.
"Harry" a whisper falls from her pink lips as she stands from the bed and tucks her hair behind her ears. "I thought you'd left" her shoulders drop and I rush to her side immediately.
"No, no baby! I swear I'm not gonna hurt you again, pleased don't doubt my love for you." I move a strand of dark hair out of her face and she smiles weakly up at me. "the doctor said you could leave today" I smile at the way her eyes brighten at the good news.
"That's great harry! A-are you still going to stay at Mine or-" I cut her off immediately.
"Yes!" I answer a little too eagerly. "That's if you still want me" I say much calmer this time and she nods quickly several times before pulling me into her warm embrace, that I have oh so missed In the past 24 hours. Strawberries almost smell as good as her hair, and i'm finding it difficult to have the will power to pull away. How we haven't had sex already I'll never know, but to be totally honest I don't necessarily feel the need to right now. I mean yeah I'm extremely sexually frustrated and I have dirty thoughts about her in those leggings that she seems to wear a lot of the time almost every day, but somehow I've seemed to keep it to myself. I want the first time we do it to be special. Wow I'm becoming a sappy git, if only Zayn could see me now!
We were soon disturbed by a knock on the door.
"Come in" Lola calls and we finally pull away from each other, to see that it's an old nurse, her dark brown hair is pinned back nearly in to a bun and her feet gently shuffle against the hospital floor.
"Good morning love, are you ready to go home?" She asks enthusiastically. I look over to Lola to see her eyes are bright and her smile is big enough to show almost her whole set of perfectly white straight teeth.
"I couldn't be more excited" she smiles and intertwines our fingers, causing a spark to ignite inside that I seem to get every time she shows affection towards me.
"Oh good, I am glad, there's just a few things we must recap; your wound is healing exceptionally well but is obviously still quite fresh, so to avoid infection, put a clean bandage on every day, and then come back next week to get your stitches removed and we can see how well you're doing. Here are some antibiotics that should help with the throbbing. But other than that everything should be okay, for the first few days make sure somebody is with you to help you throughout the day as you don't want to do too much exercise as the stitches may come out otherwise" the nurse says and I try to take it all in, knowing that I'm the one that will be looking after her.
"Okay got it" she nods, I can tell that she's trying to memorize everything that the nurse has just said by the way she's whispering things to herself and repeating the information she's just heard.
I walk over to a bag that is placed under a chair and put it on the bed.
"Here are your clothes" I point towards the black duffle bag and she nods once as her eyes follow the nurse that's leaving the room. I'm just about to follow after her to give her some privacy when I hear her frail voice behind me.
"Will you help me?"
And I swear I have never heard sweeter words to my ears.
