Undiscovered

39.

Harry's POV

The holidays are coming around pretty quickly and I still haven't picked anything out for Emilee yet.

It's been a couple of weeks since Emilee was drugged at that nightclub and we've been taking things slow, Emilee still hasn't got over the whole incident, and quite frankly, I'm still fuming about not breaking that bastards nose, he would've deserved it.

The shopping centre is completely filled with frantic Christmas shoppers trying to find the perfect presents for the big day, everyone is rushing around like headless chickens whereas I'm doing the complete opposite.

Christmas is the busiest time of the year, so I do not understand why people make it worse for themselves by rushing around to try and buy presents, it causes more problems than necessary. I've passed a few shops, full of clothes, the usual and nothing seems to stand out. I want something that'll be sentimental, something which will last a long time and will be treasured forever by Emilee.

I want it to be perfect for her.

Emilee's POV

"So you and Harry are back together again?" This is the fourth time she's asked me and I've been on the phone to Lil for half hour and I'm still no further ahead with Christmas presents, it's always useless phoning her.

"Yes Lil, for the last time, we are happy, now please! Can we talk about Christmas presents?"

"Fine, okay! I have no clue what to get for you and Harry but I've gotten some purfume and jewelry for Mam."

"Don't worry about Harry and I, just get something for Mam and Jess that's all. Have you thought of anything for Jess?"

"No, not yet, I was going to decide then you rang me. Shall we get seperate presents or shall we just get a bundle together?" She sounds worried on the other end of the phone, I know Christmas is the busiest holiday of them all but there's nothing to worry about.

"Hang on, are you okay Lil?" It's a complete change of subject but I need to know before she tries to distract me.

"Yeah why?" The voice on the other end comes out a lot more quiet and shaky than I expected.

Before I can even reply, the sobs start to flow and the speech becomes stuttered and incoherent and I can't understand a word she's saying.

"Lil, calm down, breathe, and tell me what's going on."

I waited a few minutes for the sobbing to stop before encouraging Lilie to speak to me.

"It's Niall.." She started, I carried on waiting for her to finish, I was patient with her.. I didn't want to force her to talk to me, "..we finished about a week ago, last Saturday, we were coming out of the cinema and everything came crashing down."

The sobbing started again, and for some strange reason, I feel like the whole break up was Lilie's fault.

"What happened Lil?"

I felt like I had been waiting forever for Lilie to reply..

"I broke up with him... I felt like I was hurting him, being so distant from us and I couldn't cope with the pain in his eyes no matter how much he told me everything was okay. I felt awful Em, it was truly horrible but we both need the space and time away from each other. I miss him, I just really really miss him." Jackpot. The sobbing started again but I got to the root of the problem and that was the main thing I wanted.

"How were you hurting him? What have you done to think you're hurting him Lil?" I know it's a touchy subject, but I need to know what's going on before I can help her.
