Chapter 20 Cash

Emma's P.O.V.

something i've learned from being in a wheelchair is that i hate stairs, corners, doors and pants!

Anyway!

I wheeled out of my room and down the hall. no one was in the living room so i turned on the T.V. and waited for someone to join me.

Once i realized the house was empty i broke down in tears. i was not only mad at them for leaving me but also mad at Adam, my stupid chair, Harry (because everyone is always mad at Harry) and myself.

I wheeled into the kitchen and pulled out a knife for the drawer and held it against my wrist but stopped because i heard someone jogging up the steps.

I tucked the knife in between my legs.

But i needed an excuse as to why i was in the kitchen.

I tried to grab an apple from the fruit basket that was on the counter but i couldn't reach since it was against the wall.

Then a hand reached out from behind me and grabbed the apple.

i looked over my shoulder and saw Harry handing me the apple. i smiled and took it from him.

"I'll add counters to my list of things i hate!" i joke, wheeling back into the living room. Harry laughed a bit.

"Where is everyone?!" i asked parking myself in front of the T.V. "Niall went for food, Liam, Zayn and the kids are at Louis's and the girls went grocery shopping" Harry explained

The room was silent

"Have you been crying?!" Harry asked out of the blue walking over to me.

I placed my hands over the crack in between my legs so her defiantly couldn't see the knife.

"no" i said rather quickly. "Emma" Harry said lifting my head so i was looking into his bright green eyes.

Tears were swelling in my eyes but i refused to let them flow.

Harry sighed and walked back over into the kitchen.

He reach on top of the fridge and pulled down a bulky envelope. he walked back into the living room and handed it to me.

I hesitantly took the envelope from him and opened it.

Inside was a huge amount of cash.

"Harry where dod you get this?!" i asked in aww of what i was seeing. "i'm a Pop stars" he said as if i was stupid

"It's for you van...it's not all of it but a good chunk" he explained. "Harry i can't take this" i said handing the envelope back to him "Emma you can and you will!" he yelled pushing my hand down.

More tears began to swell in my eyes but this time they were tears of joy and i let the flow down my cheek.

Harry leaned over and hugged me.

"Thank you" i whispered into his shoulder.

He pulled away placed his hand of my cheeks and kissed my temple.

The room was silent again as Harry say down in the couch.

"I heard what you said to me in the hospital" i said breaking the silence.

Harry shifted uncomfortably telling me he knew what i was telling him.

"Thank you for that...and...your forgiven" i said breaking the tension in the room and a small smile grew on Harry's face again.

I opened my arms and we hugged again

"Things will get better...i promise" he said into my shoulder "i hope so" i cried with joy.
