Protecting her heart

Ch. 21

Harry's POV

I dumped Rose. We were all celebrating, and we kissed. I felt nothing. I pictured Nat instead. I tryed so hard not to but i couldn't do it. It wasn't fair to Rose nor to Nat. But then Sam gets a call in the middle of celebrating and starts to cry. I sit down next to her to try to console her. When she hangs up she orders everyone to go home immediately.

"You guys, the hospital just called I was the first one on Nat's contact list, Nat's in the hospital. She had an accident we need to go pick up Eli, and get there now."

So we all got into the van and picked up Eli who was just as worried as all of us.

Once we got there, Liam called security back up just incase some fans saw us. We took precautions. The nurse would only let family in during the day, and one hour a day; for non family. We let Sam go in first.

The doctor came out to talk to us while she did so.

"Gentlemen, you are all close with Nathalie brent, correct?"

"Yes, sir." Liam said.

"It appears as though your friend Nathalie has had a terrible accident. Biking accident. She has many fractures and as soon as her head hit the ground she passed out. She is now in a coma, and we cannot tell when she will wake up."

I could feel the water coming to my eyes. She's in a coma.

'The good news is, her coma has not affected her hearing, and so the brain has an enormously big chance of hearing what is going on around her.''

''Thank you doctor." Liam shook his hand.

Sam came out of the room. Her face was puffy and red and her eyes were soaked. She must have lost it in there. I pulled her tight into my arms. Liam gently stroked her head and Aiden took her hand and drew on it. Apparently, he says that helps.

Four hours later

Louis, Niall, Liam and Zayn all left and went back to the apartment with Eli, who promised to be back as soon as possible. It was getting late, but I refused to leave. I was waiting for that one hour to come so that I could say what I needed to say.

''All for Nathalie Brent." The nurse called.

I stood up and fast walked over to her room. I took one look at her and i swear my heart broke in two. She was laying in a bed with plastic tubes on her face and her leg lifted in a cast. Her hand had scratches and her arms were bruised and her eyes were closed. Her stomach rised then fell and her hair was a mess.

"Oh Nat." I couldn't speak.

My whole speech. The whole thing wouldn't be anough words to express how I felt. You never know how much something means to you until something threatens to take it away.

"Nat, it's me, Harry." There was no response. Sh didn't move a muscle.

"Everyone is worried sick. I guess you already know that." I need to pause for a minute so that I could continue to speak without tearing up.

"Nathalie, I always liked you. I have never felt like this for anyone in my whole life, and I think I'm in lo-" I stoped myself right there. What if she really could hear everything? What if she teased me about it when she wakes up? I don't like thinking that she might never wake up. Oh screw it I'm going to tell her.

"Nat, I think I'm in love with you. I love how your eyes get more gentle when you are talking or speaking to your sisters. I love how you have to hide things like nutella because you know us so well that you know in advance what you have to put in hiding so that we dont take it. I love the fact that you like all the same kinda of sports and movies as i. I love your american-canadian accent. I love your face and your body and your hair. I love that you skateboard. I love your cooking and the teasing and when I kissed you, I would do it again because it felt amazing. If you were mine, I'd hold you close and treat you like a princess, and I know thats not what you think you want but every girl needs that. I'll always remember that day that you were making eggs and bacon in your underwear and one of Aiden's oversized shirts and the way you looked was so darned adorable. When you get home from skateboarding, you come home and your smile could light up this whole world. I don't ever want to lose you. Not when i leave for tour or when I don't even live in this continent anymore. I can't imagine my life without you."

I brought my hand to my mouth. What did I just do. I brought my hand back down and placed it onto her hand. I regret nothing. I needed to tell her that. And this was the best time, because for all I know, I could lose her. And I don't want to think about it.

"Nat, please. Show me something. Show me a sign. Show me you can understand me. Please."

I hold her hand tight. No response. I look down. I think of those times in the movies when someone is in a coma and then the person in a coma squeezes their hand just a little and it makes their. day. That wasn't happening. I really wish it would, but its not. I got up. I need rest and i need food and water.

Before leaving the room, I whisper "I love you, Nathalie Brent."
