I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 14

"A bath is a good idea, take these pills when you hop out and they will help with the pain" Andy tells us,

"Harry will take care of you kiddo" Zayn whispers to me.

I'm then being scooped into Harry's arms and he carries me to his bathroom.

"Are you mad at me?" I ask as he lowers me onto the counter so I'm sitting up.

"I'm not mad at you darling, I'm upset that you got hurt and I want to kill any one who thinks they can touch you" he says.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wreck your case, I didn't mean to get Noah in trouble, I didn't mean it I'm so sorry" I say as I let a few tears fall.

"Baby, this isn't your fault. You are the one who is hurt because of us. I well never let that happen again" Harry States.

"So......you're going to let Stinger get away with the murders?" I ask

Harry sighs and lifts my shirt over my head and I whimper.

"No Lou I'm not, but I'm going to keep you safe okay. We all will" he tells me seriously.

"Okay" I say to exhausted to argue.

"What about Noah?" I ask.

"We have gotten him protection, Jaxson too" Harry tells me.

I'm glad Noah is being protected.

Harry carefully takes my jeans and boxers off and he lowers me into the nice warm bath. He gets undressed too and slides in behind me, carefully wrapping his arms around me.

"I love you" he tells me.

"I love you more" I say.

"Impossible" he replies kissing my head.

"I'm......I'm sorry I worried you" I tell him sheepishly.

"Again, not your fault. I was going mental though Lou, I just don't know what I would have done if you....if they.....fuck, I don't want to even think about it.

"Me neither" I reply with a dry laugh.

"I'm sorry baby" he tells me.

It's silent for a while we just lie together enjoy being close to one another.

"Harry?" I ask quietly.

"Mmmm?" He hums into my hair.

"You owe me a packet of gummy worms" I say with a giggle.

Harry laughs a genuine deep laugh and I feel his chest rumble against my back.

"Darling, I will make sure I buy you a whole store of gummy worms, especially if it makes you feel better" he tells me.

I smile and curl further into Harry. Harry sighs before he starts talking again.

"Lou, you do know what this means though right?" He asks seriously.

"That I'm now a caged animal" I joke.

"I'm afraid so, you will have to come with me or at least one of the boys wherever you go" Harry tells me.

I sigh.

"That's okay, at least I get to spend more time with you" I tell him.

He smiles at me,he then grabs the washer and shampoo and conditioner and starts washing my hair and carefully washes my body. When the water turns cold Harry deems it time to get out. Harry gets out first, then carefully lifts me up. Being in the hot water was so nice on my aching muscles. getting out is painful though and I actually cry out.
