One Little Chance

Chapter 12

Terribly busy now and then! I feel horrible! So, with this, I beg your pardon if you demand to know more. Goodnight!(: xx

"I'm sorry." Harry mutters under his breath as Louis patted her back softly. 

"It's fine Haz. Sometimes...sometimes things weren't just made to be." Crystal sniffles as she placed her head on the crook of Louis' neck.

"Come here kiddo." Louis says as he brought her into a warm embrace. 

Everyday, Louis and Harry would go inside her room and bring her back into a cheerful mood. Or at least tried to. For what seemed like ages was actually 3 weeks. 3 weeks of full torture for Crystal. 3 weeks full of Harry and Louis. 

"Does-does he know?" Harry asks as he broke the silence that filled the room.

"Know what?" Crystal asks.

"About you and...yeah?" 

She shook her head head in response. As she let out a deep sigh, her heat beat started to rapidly change. The beeping began to grow louder and louder. It coursed throughout her body sending weird feelings all over her spine and veins. Then, she heard it. She heard the beeping of her heart.

Beep

Beep

Beep

The poor girl looked pale and sickened. It would only be weeks until her body would give up on her. 

"Cris, you ok?" Louis asks as he lets go of his younger sister. 

A lying nod was shaken, and a fake smiled was plastered on her face. Louis didn't doubt her smiles anymore for he barely sees them now. But Harry saw past it. 

He was still in love with the girl, but even if she was still in love with Liam, he never gave up. He was persistant with her. She was his sister, and no matter what, he would see past everything unlike Louis can. 

"You're not." Harry states simply. 

She shook her head until her eyelids began to feel heavy. The beeping of her heart still coursed in her body, but it soon began to slow. Slow in speed.

Out in the park was Zayn, Liam, and Niall. They were there, still comforting their heartbroken friend. 

"How could she?" He mumbles as he furiously pulled on the grass. 

"Mate, did she say she kissed him back?" Niall asks. 

"Maybe she didn't." Zayn adds. 

"What did she say?" Niall asks. 

Liam sat there frozen, unable to make any movement. 

"I-I ran." He states simply, yet quiet so both of his friends weren't able to hear. 

"A-are you kidding me?" Zayn asks. 

Liam nodded and started crying again, hating himself for what he has done. 

He should've listened to her, be there with her, and most importantly - not leave her. Liam knew she was his life, and she still is. But he left her with no god damn excuse! He ran off! 

"I'm a fucking dumbass!" Liam curses and he brushed away his tears that were starting to flow down his cheeks. 

"Woah! Calm down Liam!" Niall says, rubbing his back in a comfortly manner. 

"No! Fuck! I messed up everything! Everything I do is a damn mess up!" He curses again as he stood up. He ran away from his friends, longing to see his princess. 

"Crystal! Crystal! Open the door! Please!!!" He pounds on her front door, panting with exhaustion. 

Instead, Lottie opened the door. "Uh, hi Liam." She says. 

Liam noticed her eyes were red and puffy, and her frown was unbarable to be seen. 

"Is Crystal home?" He asks. 

She started to cry. The soft sobbing sounds escaped her mouth as she shook her head. 

"What? What happened Lottie?" He asks, terrified at her expression. 

No answer. She was unable to answer him for the hysterical hiccups took over. 

"Where's you mum?" He asks again. 

"T-they're a-at t-th-the hos-hospital." She says as she buried her face in her hands.
