The Way Things Work

Chapter Forty Six

"So pretty much I told him that he needed leave us alone." Harry said chuckling. He finally explained the story of how Rob punched him in the face. "Babe, why won't you wake up?" The smile fell from his face as he stroked your cheek. The others were waiting in the cafeteria; only one visitor was currently allowed due to the fact that you were in ICU. He slowly grabbed your hand and a single tear fell from his eye. "I swear you are the on girl that has made me fall this hard." He giggled. He continued to tell you stories and he didn't know it, but you could hear him.

'Say something Sam!' You yelled at yourself. 'Say something! He loves you and you love him! He's finally yours!' You thought. You internally fought with yourself as the frustration boiled over. You kept trying to forcing yourself to speak but you were interrupted by Harry. 

"Babe? Are you okay?" He tightened his grip on your hand but you didn't know what he was talking about, your eyes were still closed. You pleaded yourself to say something but the words were trapped. What was going on? Why were your cheeks wet? "Sammy, are you in pain? Babe?" He said as his fingers stroked your cheeks. You were crying. 'Say it!' You silently urged your self. "Sam, can you hear me? Are you okay?" You could hear the sorrow in his voice as he wept. 

"Yes." You groaned as your thoughts left your head.

"Sam!" He pulled you close and buried his head in your stomach as your free hand buried your hand in his hair. "I hate you." He whispered.

"W-What?"

"I hate you for doing this to me. I am so in love with you and you do this?" He chuckled. 

"I-I'm sorry."

"Don't be, just promise to never do it again."

"I promise Harry, I love you."

"So now you can finally be mine?"

"Finally." You sighed. 

He quickly shot up and planted his lips on yours. There were the fireworks. Your lips moved in sync as your hand moved to his cheek and the other went behind his neck. He moved his hands to your waist and your cheek. As skin touched skin sparks flew. A chill ran down your spine as you began to smile. Genuine love and genuine happiness. 

"Ahem." Someone cleared their throat from behind as Harry slowly released your body. He still had a huge smile across his face when the doctor said hello. Nothing could ruin this for him. "Well good morning, Mrs. Styles."

"We're not-"

"Good morning." You winked at Harry causing him to blush. 

"Okay, I have a psych evaluation arranged for eight o'clock tonight."

"A what? Why?"

"Well you attempted suicide. I need to be sure you aren't a harm to yourself. If it was strictly a side effect it will show and you will be released at noon tomorrow."

"And if it's not?"

"We will have you enrolled in an institution."

Without any further words he walked out. "I don't want to go Harry, what should I say to him?"

"The truth."

"But I don't want to-"

"Babe, I don't care what you want right now. I want you to be safe." He said firmly. 

"Fine." You smiled. "So you'll look after me now?"

"Babe you won't be out of my sight. You're coming everywhere with me."

"Okay but can we talk first? And you promise you won't hate me?"

"I could never." He smiled as he dragged a chair next to the bed and you rest your back down. He took his thumb and gently stroked under your eye.

"I want to clear the air. I need to know that you'll-" You looked at your thumbs. "-you'll be faithful."

"I swear to you."

"O-Okay. Please."

"Babe, I swear I could never ever hurt you again. I have fallen so hard and that's why I hurt you. I was scared."

"Don't be, I won't hurt you either. Please just tell me, what happened with you an Angel when you were in a relationship?"

"She-She would yell and lie, she would cheat and steal. I loved her but she didn't love me. Soon she would-would get angry and-" He hit his hands together weakly as his face grew soaking wet with tears. 

"Harry." You sighed as you held his face in the crook of your neck. "You don't have to tell me."

"Y-Yes I do. When we disagreed s-she'd hit me, a lot. They started off as weak slaps and g-grew into stronger punches. She would hit me everywhere and it hurt. I c-couldn't fight back, I mean she is a girl."

"Harry I would never hurt you, I swear."

"I love you so much Sam."

"I love you too Harry."

"We are forever babe." He gave you a tender kiss on the lips before sliding his body into the small bed next to yours.
