Don't Let Me Go {My Immortal Series Book 2}

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen

Harry POV

Girlfriend? I didn’t have a girlfriend, or remember having one. I wouldn’t forget someone so special to me if I gave them that title. Fuck, I wouldn’t forget anyone for that matter. I just ignored their constant questions and pushed through to the store, not really wanting to go in here and shop anymore. My head was filled with a lot of unanswered questions that just popped up since they mentioned that I had a girlfriend. That word felt so foreign to me. Once inside the store, I took out my phone, texting Niall.

‘So what’s this about me having a girlfriend?’

Instead of texting me back, my phone began to ring.

“What,” he asked me as soon as I hit answer.

“The paparazzi is outside and they asked me how I feel about my dead girlfriend. Do you know anything about that?” He was silent on the other line, making my heart race even more. “Niall, what do you know?”

“Harry,” he sighed and I instantly pictured him running his fingers through his hair.

“Niall don’t you dare start keeping secrets from me now,” I threatened as I started to panic. Calm down, Harry. You’re not in control of your powers and you don’t want to cause a scene. Breathe.

He sighed again. “How soon can you get here?”

“Two minutes,” I said before I hung up, exiting the store without buying a single thing.

Niall POV

I hung up the phone, my eyes never leaving Lilly’s as she listened into the call.

“How are you going to explain this to him,” she said as she crossed her arms over her chest, holding herself.

I shrugged. “I honestly don’t know. I don’t know all that the spell did to both him and her, as well as everyone else around us. As far as we know, everyone thinks she’s dead. This just keeps getting more complicated as we go along.” She looked down, her expression changing as she began to get sad. “No! I didn’t mean it like-“

“It’s alright, Niall,” she said as she looked up at me through her eyelashes.

“No,” I said approaching her. “You need to stop thinking that all of this is your fault. You can’t help what happens, Lillianna. You have to understand that.” I pulled her to my chest, wrapping one hand around her waist as my hand was caressing her cheek. Her eyes locked with mine, having me get lost in everything that is her. I loved having her in my arms again, being this close that I could actually feel her heartbeat on mine and her blood run through her veins.

“What’s going on here?”

I turned around, seeing Harry in the doorway, leaning on the frame with his legs crossed as well as his arms.

“Actually, I was going to tell you about this,” I said as I rubbed the back of my neck.

“Something tells me you’re not being honest with me.” He came inside, closing the door behind him with a flick of his wrist, not even touching it. Looks like someone’s getting better with their powers. “But, since it’s Lilly, I’m gonna let you slide. Now, about my dead girlfriend?”
