♫ Hating But Loving One Direction [HBL1D]♫
Chapter 9- Flashbacks
Zayn is driving us to the airport, since Eleanor and Danielle had to leave early. I am sad that the girls had to leave since we bonded over the last few days of their stay. I surely will miss them but I'm not sure if I am the one who misses them the most. Louis and Liam are. In fact, Louis is bawling his eyes out right now, his face stuff in Eleanor's comforting embrace.
Unlike Louis, Liam didn't cry since he is more sensible and used to being away from Danielle constantly. And also because Louis is a drama queen, and Liam is the quiet one.
I look at the couple across me, Louis had calm down significantly while Eleanor pat his back. Somehow, my gaze travel to a certain curly hair lad. His expression solemn and lost while he gaze outside the limo's tinted windows, not even sparing a glance in my direction.
I stare outside, the beautiful streets rushing pass me. What is Harry thinking about right now? I wonder.
Just as I am turning around, the car jerk forward in a halt, tires screeching and screams broke lose.
However, I couldn't hear anything. My head spinning rapidly, blood trickling down my face, and blackness taking over me.

-HARRY'S P.O.V-
My heart is pounding so hard that it might jump right out of my chest in any moment. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak, I couldn't even hear the nurse who is currently explaining Anna's situation.
Anna.
She is hurt. Although I wasn't the one driving, I feel like it is my fault. My fault that Anna is lying in that bed, in a coma and in a state of amnesia.
Why do I feel this way? Why does Anna have such an impact on me? If she's happy, I'm happy. If she's sad, I'm sad. If she's hurt, I'd rather be the one hurt than her. Even the mere thought of not being able to see her perfect face again breaks my heart. Why does it have to be Anna who's lying in that bed and not me? I wish I could suffer for her instead.
But I can't change God's plans. Even if I'm Harry Styles.
I figure my sprained wrist, wishing I was the one who is in a coma right now instead of Anna. Wishing I was the one who slammed my head into the glove compartment of that stupid limo instead of twisting my wrist.
I ran my uninjured hand through my curls, tears silently falling down.
Nialler came over me, offering me a hug and a bar of Twix, my favorite candy.
I take both offer in gratitude, glad for having great friends. And hey, it is extremely nice of Nialler to give up his food, since that boy and his food is like a mother and her baby.
I peel off the wrapper, stuffing my face in it since I hadn't had breakfast but a bile rose up my throat right after I swallow it.
I hastily jump off the bench and barge my face into the nearest garbage can, dumping my stomach's content.
I guess I don't really have an appetite right now.
Turning around, I notice the doctor.
“Is she okay?” I ask with every ounce of hope I have left.
My face scrunch up as the doctor's face turn into pity.
I slump down into the cold bench, my heart drooping and my body drain.
“Although she got through the surgery, there's not much we could do about her coma. Based on her records, this isn't the first time she had an accident having to with her brain.” The doctor inform us.
I frown in confusion, “You mean, she got into another accident before this?” I ask him.
“Apparently, yes. And unfortunately, the last accident had damage her brain, causing memory loss of her whole past up until the age of 13. So this time, the damage trigger the healing accident years ago, making it harder for her to heal this time.” He explain pitifully. His smile strain but understanding.
I close my eyes to take it all in. Suddenly, a flashback pop through my brain.
-FLASHBACK-
I was 13, my parents had let me spend the summer with my aunt in America. I remember being excited since my aunt said that she had a wonderful neighbor a year younger than me. I have somebody to play with!
However, my hopes crashed when I found out that my neighbor was a girl and I treated her poorly since I thought girls had cooties back then.
I hated her and she hated me. We pulled pranks on each other, and every time, things would get more serious. Once, I destroyed her date by lighting her dress on fire, and that was the last straw. Ever since then, she ignored me while I kept on teasing her. About her looks, the way she talks, her passion for stupid things. I kept teasing her everyday, and everyday she would ignore me.
Until one day, I never saw her again. My aunt told me their family moved after Anna lost her memory, saying she “needed a new start.”
I lost touch with that girl since then, I never knew her name because she never told me. However, I did nickname her “Igger”, representing how she was so ignorant all the time.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
How could I not see it until now?
Her familiar face, big Afro hair, loose tanks, ignorant vibes.
Igger is Anna. New and improved.
Without any explanation, I barge into the room, finding Anna's body laying limp on the hospital bed, looking almost dead.
I shutter at the thought and walk next to me.
I hesitantly grab her hand and kiss it gently.
“Wake up, please.” I beg her, knowing all too well that she won't listen to me. After all, she's Anna, the ignorant girl who stole my heart.
“Please,” I beg again, cupping her beautiful face, “Wake up,” I pause, not knowing if I should say the next thing.
Pushing aside the queasy feeling in my stomach,
I whispers the words that I thought I would never say to a girl sincerely,
“I think I might like you.”
