Twisted Truth (Sequel to "Twisted Words And Twisted Lies") [Harry Styles Fanfic]

Chapter 27:

“It’s okay babe it was only a dream.” I whispered in her ear.

“N-no it wasn’t.” She cried. I gently pushed her back down so I could look at her face. She was absolutely terrified.  I opened my mouth to say something, but I heard a knock on the door, which I’m assuming is Louis.

“I will be right back.” I said to her.

“Please don’t leave.” She asked with pleading eyes (well really just one eye since the other eyes is swollen shut)

“I’m not going anywhere love. Just going to see who is at the door.” I smiled at her. I walked over to the door and opened it to see a concerned Louis.

“She was having a nightmare when I got here.” I told him before he could say anything.

“Is she awake now? Is she ok?” He asked.

“She is awake and I don’t think ok is the right word. I’m going to try and calm her down.” I said.

“Okay, I will let your family know that you will be a bit longer.” He said as he looked over my shoulder at his crying sister. I nodded at him and closed the door. I walked back over to Anna’s bed and laid down right next to her.  Her hand instantly began searching for mine, so I grabbed her hand and intertwined our fingers together. Sparks shot through my hand and up my arm at the contact. I can’t remember the last time we held hand and we were both aware of it.

“You wanna talk about the dream?” I asked her.

“No I just want you to hold me.” She said. I was surprised she even answered me, so I was shocked when she said that. I gently wrapped my arm around her and pulled her into my chest. She winced as she tried to get comfortable, but after a few seconds she was curled up into my chest crying quietly.

“Are you in any pain?” I asked her. Louis had said before he took her to bed that the pain meds would be wearing off soon, so I was hoping she would be able to talk to me properly now, but I also knew she would be in pain.

“Not with you.” She whispered. My heart skipped a beat when she said that. She must still have some medicine in her, because I don’t think she would be saying that if she were in her right mind.

“Do you think one day we will be together again?” She asked me. I looked down at her and saw her eye closed, but tears still fell from her eyes.

“I hope so, but lets get you all healed before we talk about that ya?” I said to her. As much as I wanted to ask her out and pull her into a deep passionate kiss I know the timing isn’t right. She needs time to physically and emotionally heal before we try our relationship out again.

“Ok. Can you sing to me? “She asked me.

“Of course.” I said before I started softly singing ‘Just The Way You Are’. By the time I got to the first chorus she had stopped crying and by the end of the song she was peacefully sleeping.

‘I have no idea how I’m going to leave her now.’ I said to myself as I watched the love of my life sleep in my arms.

Anna’s POV

I woke up to the twins whispering to me to wake up. I opened my eye to see them looking down at me with giants smiles on their faces.

“Santa came last night.” They squealed together.

“Cool.” I smiled at them.

“Girls go into the living room. I will bring Anna out, then we will open gifts.” Louis said. They nodded and ran out of the room.
