Through the Awakening (Harry Styles) [Bk. 2]

44. Healing and Forgiveness

Elizabeth's POV

"What the hell did he do to you?" Harry sighed as we stepped into my room walking over to the couch.

"I'll get the first aid kit" Sophia interrupted walking down the hallway towards the bathroom.

"I'd rather not answer that question" I reply in a quiet voice sitting on the couch keeping Harry's coat wrapped around me. I held it closed in the middle from the inside so no one could see the little i had left on underneath.

Harry frowned at me. "Elizabeth, come on you can tell us" he said kneeling down in front of me placing his hands on my knees. I winced.

"Sorry" Harry apologized, quickly taking his hands away.

"It's okay." I said giving him a small smile. "Can I please tell you later?" I asked not wanting to be bombarded with questions. Harry eyed me carefully and was about to say something but bit his lips instead.

"Aright" he replied and slowly got to his feet. Sophia stepped back into the room with a small white box in her hand. Harry reach his hand out and gently grabbed it from her.

"Here Ellie, I made you a sandwich" Niall smiled at me placing the plate on the coffee table in front of me along with a can of soda.

"No thanks." I reply looking up at him, feeling guilty for turning it down.

"Elizabeth you have to eat." Harry said sitting down next to me.

I shrug. "I'm just not hungry"

"Yea but Ellie you-"

"Harry." Liam said sternly interrupting him standing in front of the T.V.

"What? She has to eat." Harry complained and I bit my lip but quickly released it feeling a small sting.

"Its okay." Perrie chimed in." The main thing she needs right now is rest"  Harry sighed and stayed quiet placing the first aid kit next to the plate of food on the coffee table.

"Alright, I don't mean to be rude but I think it's best that we all head out." Louis said wrapping his arm around Eleanor.

"Yea, its late and you guys need rest." Eleanor smiles and walks over to me giving me a gentle hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you guys for everything." I say shyly clutching onto Harry's coat.

"No problem" Liam smiled at me and with that everyone headed out the door except for Harry.

"You know you don't have to stay." I speak up breaking the silence between us as Harry cleans my bloody wounds on my hands, knees and face.

Harry looks up at me giving me an are-you kidding- me look.

"Well, at least let me clean your wounds" I offer taking the cloth out of his hands.

Harry smiles letting out a small chuckle. "Thanks but I heal."

I blush. "Right, I always forget." I say looking down and Harry stood up closing the first aid kit placing it down on the coffee table.

"Come on, I'll help you to you room." Harry gestured with his head and I nodded standing up from the couch. Harry placed his arm around me walking me to the bedroom gently setting me down on the edge of my bed.

"Umm... I'll leave you to change." He said giving me a small smile scratching the back of his neck turning on his heel.

"Harry, its okay you don't have to leave." I smiled standing up. "I'll just change in the bathroom" I shrug grabbing my pjs from my chest of drawers and headed to the bathroom.

Harry's POV

I sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. I looked down at my hands in my lap inspecting my bloddy knuckles.

"All done" Elizabeth announced. I smiled as she  walked into the room wearing black shorts and an old band shirt. The Beatles, our favorite.

"Here you go." Elizabeth said walking over to me handing me my black coat.

"Yea, your welcome." I said grabbing my coat out of her hands. I knitted my eyebrows together when I saw her starring at her nodded fingers in front of her.

"What is it?"

Elizabeth sighed sitting down next to me pushing her hair nervously behind her ears. "Look, I'm sorry." She said in a soft voice looking up at me. "I know I have been such a brat...well to be honest I think the word brat is an understatement." She paused. "I am really sorry. I know that I hurt you when you showed up here..." she looked down shaking her head in discust blinking her tears away. "I was so hostile towards you-"

"Hey" I interrupt placing my hand on top of hers. "Elizabeth look at me" I whisper when she didn't glance up at me. I gave her hand a squeeze and she looked up at me with teary brown eyes.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. I should be the one apologizing. I have caused you so much pain and I would do anything to erase all that." I said looking into her eyes.

"I guess we both messed up huh?" She joked a small smile forming on her lips.

"Yea" I mumbled and bit my lip. "You know what? How about we start over? Fresh new slate."

Elizabeth nodded letting out a small yawn standing up. "Yea, I'd like that."

"Alright then it looks like we have a deal." I smile clapping my hands together. "It's late you should go to sleep."

"Okay." She yawn again and I laughed.

"You better get into bed before you fall on your face" I tease. Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and me.

"Jerk" she pouted and punched me on my arm.

"Ah!" I groan placing my hand on my arm pretending to be hurt. "I'm wounded"

"Shut up curly" she teased and climbed into bed.

I smiled."Well, okay. I'll leave you to rest. Goodnight." I dismiss myself walking to the door.

"No wait" Elizabeth called out and I turned around to face her. She was prompt up on her elbow. "Can you stay with me?" She asked shyly picking at her blanket.

"Sure" I nod. "Just let me go get something to wear from my room" I said pointing my thumb towards the door.

"Actually..." Elizabeth blushed. "I mean I hope you don't find this weird but I still have your clothes. You know, the ones you left behind at my place. There in the closet" she said pointing to the door next to the T.V.

"You kept my clothes?" I grinned.

"Um...yea." 

I smiled and walked over to the closet opening the door stepping inside.

"Its on the top shelf to your right!" Elizabeth called out. I glanced over to my right and scanned the white shelves before I saw my clothes. I quickly strip down to my boxers and  grab my folded t-shirt and pajama pants placing them on.

I step back into the room closing the door behind me. I walk over to the bed and climb in  next to her.

"Goodnight" she says and lays on her side facing me closing her eyes.

"Goodnight, angel."
