ONE DAY OR ANOTHER (TLKAR TRIQUEL) Part 3

23. Stay away from all of us

Harry POV:

"Why are you crying?" she asked in an unbelievably innocent voice.

Oh god, I can't do this. I left the room, I couldn't handle the thought of breaking down in front of her.

I had made myself believe that it was all a joke. That I would go back and she would remember me again. Unfortunately it was all just a figment of my imagination. But I couldn't help thinking that maybe it was better this way. If I showed her how much I loved her now, she would forgive me later.

Oh god. How could I be so selfish. She was probably in there scared out of her mind and I'm out here worrying about myself. I couldn't live without her. I've probably said that sentence a million times ever since this whole things happened. I thought that she could probably live without me. She was so much stronger than me. After all of the things she has gone through, the least I could do was be there for her.

Niall POV:

She just fell asleep. She had a lot of questions, but I didn't really answer them. I thought it was Harry's place next to her, but I guess he wasn't ready.

He's one of my best friends, but he needed to stop feeling bad for himself and help Anna.

I had loved her from the beginning. She was nice and adorable and I really liked her but she was always Harry's. She became off limits since day one. Now I can only love her like a sister. I couldn't help myself and I leaned down and kissed her cheek. Letting my lips linger for just a seconds too long. Her eyes flutter open and just before sleep pulled her under, she gave me a small smile.

Anna POV:

Through a hazy cloud of fog, I felt a warm pair of lips press against my cheek. I opened my eyes for a second to see his angelic face look into my eyes. I was able to smile just before I fell back asleep.

"Niall," I voice whispered in my mind.

Recognition downed on me.

I remember YOU.

I think before this whole hospital thing happened, I was going out with Niall. He was here this entire time I've been awake. Then he kissed my face. I opened my eyes and Niall was standing there.

"Niall?" I asked.

"Yeah, Anna?" he said back.

"Are you my boyfriend?" I asked, hesitant.

"Do you think I am?" he asked.

"Well, I remember being with you." I said.

He looked worried. "Oh no. I'll be right back." he said, running out of the room.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

Niall POV:

Right when she asked if I was her boyfriend I immediately felt a huge knot in my stomach. What was I doing? I had a beautiful girlfriend, Abby. I made a huge mistake. I didn't know what to do. Harry needed to get his ass in her hospital room and tell her all of the truth.

I looked around for the guys and found them comforting Harry.

"Guys. I need to tell you something about Anna. Harry, it's important." I explained.

He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. This would crush him. He needed to know.

"Just tell me Niall." he spat out.
