HARRY’S POV

November 10…same day…

“Oh hello there Harry, how’s your little girlfriend doing?” She sneered, her teeth were red with blood, and her right eye was swollen.

“I’M GONNA KILL YOU CAROLINE!” I yelled, as I started to charge her, but then Liam and Zayn grabbed my arms, holding me back. “Let me go!” I said through gritted teeth as I tried to break free from their grasp.

“Harry! Not yet! We need to find out how to help Lexi!” Louis yelled at me.

I let up a bit, but Liam and Zayn held their grasp on me.

“If she dies I’m gonna kill you!” I growled.

She laughed cynically “Aw, come on love, isn’t she a bit young for you anyway?”

“Shut up! Shut up!” I yelled at her. “I hate you, you bitch! I’ll kill you!”

“Tell us what you’re doing to her!” Niall yelled, yanking her up by her shirt. Her feet dangled off the ground.

“Isn’t it obvious what I’m doing? Look around you, you’re in the middle of nowhere, stuck in a blizzard, and no one can help you. I’m making sure your little friend dies a slow, painful death, and I made sure there was nothing you could do about it but sit and watch”

I struggled to get out of Liam and Zayn’s grasp, but it was useless, especially with their powers.

Niall pushed her against the wall again “You’re sick, you’re just bloody sick. Tell us how to fix her or so help me God, I will kill you” he barked.

“There’s nothing any of YOU could do about it” she cackled.

“Why are you here anyway?! What were you doing outside our door?! Are you really that stupid?! Didn’t you think we’d figure out it was you?!” Zayn yelled at her.

“Oh boys, boys, boys. Boys really are stupid aren’t they?”

“Answer the God damn fucking question!” I snapped at her.

“While you’re all out here, who’s with your little friend?” she gave a wicked smile. “By the way, it’s impossible to cure her”

Her words cut like knives into my heart. Then something strange happened. She threw her head back, and her face started to transform. Her nose grew, into something resembling a beak, her arms lengthened, and her legs shortened. Her hair shriveled back up into her head, and her blue eyes turned black. Her arms sprouted feathers? Her toes grew claws and before long she had turned into some sort of menacing bird, a very large bird. She shrieked and took off, she flew straight threw the glass balcony doors and out into the blizzard. Glass shattered everywhere and snow flew into the room, the sound of the blizzard outside was deafening.

Then Paul burst into the room “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!”

We were in shock. I turned to face him and he had a crying Kayla in his arms.

“Lexi!” I yelled, remembering the last thing Caroline had said. I sprinted into the bathroom and heard the boys’ following me.

I ran into the bathroom, Lexi’s eyes were closed and she was as white as the snow. I cupped her face with my hand.

She was as cold as the snow too.

“Oh God! Lexi! NO!” I lifted her cold and lifeless body out of the tub, I heated up my body temperature and carried her to the bed.

“Lexi! Please be okay, please be okay” I whispered in her ear.

I laid her down gently.

“LEXI!” I heard Louis yell. They all ran to her side, Paul and Kayla included.

 “Please wake up Lexi. I love you. Please wake up.” I whispered against her lips. I moved in and touched her cold lips to mine. I took a step back and opened my eyes.

Nothing.

She was just as lifeless as before, her rosy cheeks had lost all their color, her skin, that was usually warm and soft was now cold. I threw my head back and yelled as loud as I could, then I sank down on my knees and just cried. I cried harder than I ever have before.

This wasn’t a fairy tale, I couldn’t be her prince, my kiss couldn’t save her, I lost my princess and it was all my fault.

Cries of pain filled the room. Lexi was gone. I promised her she’d be fine, and now she’s gone. I only left her for a minute, and I never even got to tell her how much I really loved her. I never got to say goodbye.

“Lexi! No!” Kayla screamed “Please Lexi! I need you! Wake up! Bunny wake up! I love you!” She cried desperately as she crawled to Lexi’s side.

She pulled the covers up to her neck, brushed back the hair from her face and she whispered I love you between silent sobs, then Kayla leaned down slightly to give her a gentle kiss on her forehead.

I got up and wrapped my arms around Kayla protectively. I was going to make sure nothing ever happened to her. I would protect her with my life, I’d quit the band, I’d make sure she was safe, cared for and loved.

Kayla turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my neck tightly, her sobs wracked her entire body.

“I’m so sorry Kayla. I’m so sorry. I love you, I’m never gonna let anything happen to you.” I closed my eyes and buried my face in her neck.

I opened my eyes to cover Lexi with the blanket, and noticed something different about her that wasn’t there before. Some of her color had returned to her cheeks. I let go of Kayla, placed her next to me and leaned in closer.

Her lips parted slightly and I saw the soft rise and fall of her chest that meant she was breathing.

“Lexi?” I whispered.

Her eyes remained closed, but her breathing was now very noticeable.

The others stood up, wiped their eyes and leaned in to be closer to her.

“Alexis?” Liam said quietly.

She took a deep breath and then her eyes fluttered open. She looked right at me with her beautiful brown eyes and smiled. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

“I feel better now” she breathed. “Just like you promised I would”

“LEXI!” Niall cried out in joy, then he jumped on top of her, smothering her in a hug. Then Louis, Liam, and Zayn all piled on. Niall was strong enough to hold up their weight so they wouldn’t crush her.

“We love you Lexi! We love you so much! Never ever, ever do that ever again!” Zayn cried.

She laughed, and it was like the sound of church bells on Sunday morning. They finally climbed off her and she sat up and gave them individual hugs.

She came to me last, and we just stared at each other for what seemed like hours.

“Lexi I love you, I love you more than anything in the world” I told her as I finally embraced her. “I thought I had lost you! It was supposed to be impossible, she said it was impossible!” I said. I cried into her, just letting everything out.

We finally pulled apart and I saw that tears were in her eyes as well. “Nothing is impossible Harry.”
