Chapter 24 <3

Kenzie's P.O.V

"So for now, I guess we're friends?" Harry asked obviously finding it
difficult to contain the pure bliss he was feeling.

I could feel my heart flutter at the intensity of his stare as he smiled so brilliantly at me, I literally felt like the only person on the earth; that sounds terribly clichéd but its true. The feelings I am developing for Harry are terrifying me, literally horrifying me to
the core. I can't like him, I literally can't. It's not meant to be this confusing I'm meant to like one person and one person only but Harry just waltzed right on into my heart like he owned it and now I cannot get him out of my heat and that kiss...

That kiss we shared was literally the most passionate and electrifying kisses I've ever had, the way his lips barely touching mine could send volts of electricity and tingles down my spine astonished me. The way a simple touch from him could ease everything made me question everything I knew and
wanted to know. He was literally changing and shaping my heart into
something only he held the key for and I as much as I wanted to turn
and run, I couldn't because Harry Styles was literally stealing my
heart just like I had stole his. I couldn't help but feel guilty because Louis was still a big part of my life, I just couldn't figure out what role he was supposed to play, the boyfriend or the loveable
best friend I was supposed to confide in when I was distressed? Either way I knew Harry and Louis were supposed to fill one of these roles, it was just which boy for which role that had me completely stumped.

Why couldn't it be easier?


"The best of friends." I corrected him leaning up to plant a soft kiss
on his cheek.


He blushed and wrapped me tighter in his strong embrace, I traced the outline of his various tattoos sprawled across his bare arms,"I've always wanted a tattoo." I said pointlessly lost in my aimless thoughts.

"Oh really?" He mused playing with the sleeve of his jumper that I was
currently wearing, "They hurt." He admitted truthfully.

"I wouldn't get as many tattoos as you, just one. Something that means
something."

"Something that signifies how you're feeling?" He queried.

"Yeah." I agreed nodding my head.

"That explains nearly every one of my tattoos, a memory of a strong emotion I was feeling at the time."

"I didn't think you were such a complex guy Harry." I mused just enjoying this quiet, heartfelt moment the two of us were sharing. It honestly felt like I could just forget everything, all of my worries and just be somewhat content.

"I'm full of surprises Kenz." He laughed jokingly before sighing, "We should get back to Louis."

"Yeah, the poor kid's probably going out of his brain with Niall, Zayn and Liam attempting to keep him company." I said picking myself up off
the bench and straightening outHarry's jumper that was clearly completely oversized.

"You got that right." He agreed jumping up himself and sliding an arm
around my shoulder as we walked back into the warm foyer of the hospital.

As we passed the rooms I couldn't help but look into them seeing a different person each time all with a different story, it made me think of when I spent my time in hospital for reasons I
definitely would not want to go into or talk about ever. There was a lot Harry and Louis didn't know about me although Harry did know the most about my past. He was aware of what went down the night I needed to seek refuge with Liam but he didn't know the half of what I was like before that horrifying incident shattered my bad girl façade and bought me back to the harsh inflictions of reality.

I've done my fair share of horrible things in my short seventeen years
on this planet, things I would most definitely take back in a heartbeat. I knew I could tell Harry and I knew he wouldn't judge but truth be told I was too much of a coward to let my brain even reminisce on those horrible actions of mine. So when the thought of me spending those agonizing weeks in hospital entered my brain I let out
a small whimper and sunk deeper into Harry's strong arms trying ever so desperately to eradicate all those poisonous memories from my mind.

"Hey." Harry said stopping in the middle of the hallway, "What's
wrong?" He asked nothing but genuine care and worry in his tone.

"Ahh." I sighed, "Just memories." I winced hiding my face in his chest
as he wrapped his strong arms around my shoulders rocking us from side
to side.

"Shit that I don't know?" He asked and I nodded knowing that if I spoke I was likely to break down. "Tell me when you're ready, I'm always here prepared to listen."

"Thank you." I murmured, "You're like a saint for putting up with all my crap, my life's more dramatic than Days of our Lives."

I felt the vibrations ripple through his chest as he laughed obviously appreciating me comparing my life to a soap opera. "You're something
alright Kenz, definitely something."

"Gee, thanks." I muttered sarcastically causing him to laugh harder as he wrapped his arm tightly around my waist and lead me back down the corridor towards Louis room.

"Guess who's back." I sang entering the hospital room to be met with the smell of antiseptic and cheap food.

I looked over to find Louis attempting to eat the meal they had given him; he looked up when he heard my voice, which caused me to smile. And cue the Louis butterflies and feelings I thought as he smiled back. For God's sake Kenzie, why is it so bloody hard to just pick one guy? Now I know how Bella Swan felt, people should not have given her such a hard time.

"Finally, I was getting bored with these dweebs." Louis said causing Niall, Zayn and Liam to glare at him furiously while a chorus of defensive "Hey!'s filled the room.

I laughed, "Well I'm glad were here to put you out of your misery." Louis smiled but that slowly diminished when he saw the jumper I was
currently comfortably nestled into, fuck. "

"Harry's jumper?" He queried trying to sound casual but I could tell the confusion and jealousy was eating at him like a grizzly bear that'd been refused food for years.

I opened and closed my mouth trying to think of a legitimate excuse that would not sound like Harry and I had left to go do something completely inappropriate.

"She was cold man." Harry piped up, "You're lucky I was there or your
girl would've froze to death."

I sighed in relief mentally praising Harry, thank the lord that boy
was good with words or we would have been completely and utterly screwed.

"Oh." Louis said seeming to relax a little but that didn't stop him from sending Harry a glare and reaching out for me on instinct.

Niall and I exchanged a worried glance, him knowing what happened he could sense the future fights and arguments I would get these two best friends into and so could I.

Maybe I should just leave, start off somewhere new and leave this band in peace to reconcile and act is if I never existed. But I knew I couldn't do that, it was selfish of me but I needed these boys to the point where I couldn't go on without them.

I am a horrible person, I know.

I sunk into Louis arms on the hospital bed and began to talk to him about the meal he was given as he ranted about how disgusting it was I noticed Harry and Niall conversing discreetly in the corner, I couldn't help but get distracted wondering what the hell they were talking so suspiciously about.

"Babe?" Louis said bringing me back to reality.

"Oh!" I jumped, "Yeah?"

"I said they're discharging me tomorrow hopefully!" He cried excitedly causing me to smile involuntarily.

"That's awesome!" I squealed snuggling into his side, "Now we can finally get some things back to normal around here."

"As normal as they get." He winked causing me to blush, "Because our
lives are pretty crazy."

"Hectic." I agreed looking up at the small TV the hospital provided and smiled when ironically when the Days of our Lives intro began to play.

I snuck a glance at Harry who was slyly smiling at me obviously biting his tongue to keep from busting out into hysterical laughter, how ironic could it get?

"Hey Lou." Liam piped up, "Zayn and I are going to go pick up some take out to take back to the house for the rest of us." He announced going around the room and taking orders.

"I wish I could eat takeout." Louis pouted.

"You're on a strict diet mister!" I taunted poking his nose, he stuck
his tongue out at me and frowned returning to his little pouting session.

"Hey Harry, can you and Kenzie take my car back?" Zayn asked chucking
Harry his keys.

"Why both of us?" I asked frowning in confusion.

"Well, because I don't trust Harry driving my car without supervision
from a responsible, well-mannered person and Kenzie is exactly that.
My car is my baby." He explained his tone remaining nothing but serious, I smirked trying to hold in my laughter, Zayn and his car's relationship was as real as his relationship with his newfound girlfriend Tione.
"Hey!" Harry cried defensively, "I can drive perfectly fine."

"Mhmm, sure." Zayn sarcastically agreed before saying goodbye to Louis
and warning me to watch his car like a hawk before leaving with Liam.

"I suppose we should head off and set up the table for dinner." I sighed stretching out on the uncomfortable, lumpy hospital bed. I honestly don't understand how Louis had slept on here for the pastweek. "Niall, you coming?"

"Nah, I have to drive my car back, I'll stay with Mr. Injured for a while anyways." He shrugged lazily taking a sip from his water bottle.

"Okay." I laughed before turning to give Louis a big hug and kiss on the cheek before Harry and I once again began our decent down the, long, dull hallway and this time I was sure to not look into the rooms.

"Nice save back there." I told him as we got into Zayn's beloved car.

"What, with the jumper thing?" He asked jamming the keys into the ignition and roaring the engine to life.

"Yeah, if you hadn't have said that it would've looked like something
completely different happened."

"Well, I was just saying the truth." Harry shrugged backing out of the
hospital parking lot, "Except about the fact that you're his girl."

"Oh, Is that not true?" I queried with a small smile on my face.

"Hell no!" He exclaimed his beautiful green eyes blazing with emotion, "You're my girl and only mine." He spoke with such passion and determination in his tone it made my stomach flutter with butterflies at his choice of words.

"You're my girl and only mine."

I saw the lust in his expression as his intense gaze studied my blushing face so intently, "I'm not your girl yet Haz." I whispered.

"In my mind you are." He winked causing me to blush even more furiously.

"Just keep your eyes on the damn road Styles!!" I cried attempting to hide my reddening cheeks causing him to laugh as he turned up the radio and we both began jamming out to the top forty.




"I can't sleep." I whispered standing at the foot of Harry's bed, it was 1AM and here I was being a nuisance plagued by horrifying nightmares that kept me up hours upon hours.

"Nightmares again babe?" Harry asked huskily, he rubbed his eyes obviously still half asleep as he shifted to face my cowering body.

"Yes." I whimpered needing some comfort, support, anything!

I felt like a five year old who came crying to her parents at night when she dreamed of the monsters in her closet, if only my nightmares were that innocent and childlike.

"Come here." Harry said reaching out for my hand.

I placed my hand in his and he pulled me down onto the bed next to him, he covered me protectively in his duvet and drew me into his strong arms my head nestled comfortably on his chest.

"No one will hurt you here Kenz." He whispered kissing my cheek before I felt my eyes slowly shut.
