Belle’s POV (normal)
Charlotte quickly ran following Louis out the door. I looked over to Zayn who sat there in shock before a wave of realisation spread over his face. He looked over at me and placed his hand on mine but I quickly moved it away from him. I sighed a feeling disgusted knowing that he thinks he can practically insult me then try and be cute like before. I rolled over so my back was facing him and my face was facing were Louis had been sitting, to face a comforting smile from Liam. He never missed anything, too smart he is. I let a small tear fall as I saw Liam shake his head at Zayn.
“What did I do?!” he half yelled in frustration
I just ignored his comment and looked down at my wrists, bruises still prominent. I suddenly remembered the gash on my thigh... I lifted up the blankets and started to walk towards the full length mirror next to wardrobe in the hospital room. I knew I was in a bad state... I knew it would look similar to last time... but I was still upset and shocked at the image I saw in front of me.
“Belle what are you doing?” Harry asked as he placed a hand upon my shoulder
“Look at me” was all I managed to blurt out between sobs, pointing to the reflection
The bruises a bluey-purple colour, the redness still marked my skin. My nose had a white bandage over it; my cheek had a few stitches. I lifted up the hospital gown and saw the cut on my leg. Bruised, red and disgusting. It had a long line of stitches from one side of it to the other. It looked infected to me, but they say it’s just healing. I had the urge to touch it, so of course I did, and the pain strung through my entire body as I fell to the floor clutching my leg. I felt two strong arms wrap around me and lift me up and carry me back up to the bed.
“Thanks Harry” I murmured still holding onto my pained leg
“It’s okay Bellesy” he said ruffling up my hair
“You need to take precautions now Belle, take it easy” Liam said looking me sweetly in the eye
“I know... I just... I didn't expect to look that hideous” I whispered looking down at my hands again, holding back all emotion
“You’re beautiful Annabelle!” Harry said
“Stop beating yourself up about it!” Liam said. I just gave him a look that shouted ‘really Liam... really?’. “...Shit sorry Belle I didn’t mean it like that” he retracted his words feeling instantly bad
I just laughed and smiled up at him, “Thanks for everything you two”
They smiled back but then something caught Harry’s eye, something from behind me.
“Um I think I might go get a drink? Want anything?” he asked me
“No thanks I'm fine” I smiled up at him
“I- er... Um... Painkillers belle?” Liam stuttered before asking
“Shit yes!” I said laughing
They both chuckled softly before leaving the room and shutting the door. I thought I was alone until I felt the presence behind me. Oh yeah, he’s still here.
“Annabelle... I'm, I'm so so sor-“Zayn started
“You don’t have to apologize Zayn. I wouldn’t say I was beautiful either, not compared to her when I'm like this... when I'm normal... when I'm me.” I finished finally
“That’s not what I meant by it! You’re the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life! I’d do anything for your gorgeous face... You’re amazing Belle, always smiling, always making jokes, always making people feel better when you can’t even make yourself feel better. Anyone would be lucky to call you theirs” he said looking up at me nervously
