In For Observation


"We're thinking of doing your dad's funeral tomorrow." My mum informed me.

"No! Why?"

"Because we can't wait any longer until the body starts… you know… decomposing." She explained.

I tried to swallow the lump in my throat hearing those words.
It's only been 5 days since I found out my dad's… fortune. That's the day I woke up too and despite the hole I have in my chest, physically I feel better. I have stitches in my upper left leg and arm but I no longer have a bandage around my head and for that I am grateful.

"I wanted to be there." I said the tears welling up in my eyes.

"I know honey but you can't even stand up yet." My mum reasoned. I huffed crossing my arms in front of my chest childishly.

"Are you mad?" Mum looked worried.

"No... I just wanted to say goodbye to him..." I played with my fingers.

"You and I can go there when you get better, but for now you need to focus on your recovery."

"Knock Knock." A curly head peeked through the door. An involuntary smile raised on my face when I saw him.

Harry looks much better today, the bags under his eyes are still there but are not as prominent as they were a few days ago and his beautiful curls bounce in his forehead instead of his usual pushed back look. He's wearing a black t-shirt and an unbuttoned red and black shirt on top, absolutely handsome. It's like he's healing at the same pace as me...

"Hello Erica." Harry kissed my mum's cheek before circling the bed and moving to the other side of the bed.

"Hi." I smiled when he placed a kiss on my forehead.

"How are you feeling today?" He asked. I merely shrugged and he frowned taking my hand and sitting down on the chair.

He's been doing it every day like a routine since I woke and I feel like I can only feel better when he walks through that door and holds my hand for the rest of the time he is allowed.
We haven't spoken about us and our… situation. I think he doesn't want to push me considering my state. Either that or he doesn't want me back.
I pushed that nauseous last thought aside and stared at our intertwined hands until we were interrupted by my sister walking in from the bathroom. She smiled at Harry and he mentioned for her to sit on his lap.

"I've gotta say, your mother is wonderful Harry!" Mum spoke changing the subject.

"She told you've met this morning." Harry smiled at her.

"Yes, she's very polite. And your sister is the sweetest girl..." My mum spoke truly amazed. She'd mentioned it to me already.

I guess that's a good thing because they had never met since my mum had never come to London until a few days ago. I just wished they had met in different circumstances. I had imagined Harry and I would prepare some nice dinner at the apartment and then my family and his would meet. I knew my mum and Harry would get along because they look much alike in terms of personality.

"She told me she''d love to meet you again very soon." Harry said.

"I'd like that too! We've exchanged numbers so we can get in touch with each other." She laughed excitedly.

"You hadn't mentioned that part to me..." I raised my brows.

"That's because it's between Anne and I." She winked and I rolled my eyes.

"Zayn told me they want to come inside." India spoke to mum.

"They came with me." Harry nodded.

"Oh of course."

"I don't understand why can only come in three people at time." I groaned. It really sucks.

"India and I will leave and two more can come in. I've been here since this morning anyway."
My mum stood up kissing my cheek, Harry's and leaving. India gave me a hug and followed right after. In the mean time Harry and I were left alone.


I grabbed our hands and placed them on my lap, playing with his fingers.

"So…" Harry started to say but his speech was cut by a door opening loudly.

"Hello hello!" Louis practically sang and I rolled my eyes.

Eleanor hit him in the back of his forehead before walking to me.

"Hello my love." She kissed me on the cheek and Louis did the same.

"You have some colour on your cheeks already." Louis commented. "Is that the reason why you and Harry were here alone?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

Harry shot him a glare and El hit him again.

"Seriously Lou." El corrected him.

"Sorry! I'm just really glad you're doing better." He smiled sweetly at me.

I rolled my eyes but pushed him by the arm to give me a hug. I've missed him.
Suddenly the door opened again and Liam walked in with Zayn carrying balloons.
The room is already full of balloons practically and chocolates. My family and friends from Portugal sent most of it but Harry assured me some fans give him gifts to me. I find it a bit weird really because I've never spoken in public and I'm not in any band or whatsoever despite the fact that I have indeed taken a few pictures with Harry's fans because they ask and the paps follow me regularly too.

"I thought only three people were allowed?" I raised my eyebrows at them.

"Nice to see your mouth's back." Zayn chuckled.

"Your mum spoke to the nurses and they allowed more people to get in since you're feeling better." Liam explained.

"Where's the others?"

"Well Dani's at the x factor but she sent all the love to you and Niall's speaking to your mum outside." Liam opened a chocolate box for his own benefit.

"My mum and Niall?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Yeah, the paps tried to harass her this morning and Niall helped her."

"What?"

"Liam!" Harry threw him a look that clearly said to keep his mouth shut.

"Why would they do that? More important, how do they know she's my mum?" Liam cautiously looked at Harry who was glaring at him before turning to me to speak.

"She comes with India and everyone knows who she is since she spends a lot of time with us too and the three of you look the exact same, it's impossible not to associate." Liam smiled. I really don't like the idea of mum being followed by the photographers, it's her first time here and I don't want her to get the wrong impression of the place I live.

"She's staying with us and we always make sure she has someone with her so she doesn't walk out alone." Harry assured.

"She's staying at the apartment?"

"Of course she is, India too." He nodded and I squeezed his hand gratefully.

"So, when are you getting outta here darling?" Louis plopped on the couch. The room is really big it even has couches and a private bathroom. I know there's no way this is a normal room and I'm pretty sure Harry's behind all that.

"They said I'll stay here at least one more week and the rest depends on my recovery." I explained with a sighed. I already feel bored here, not being able to stand up or see the day light properly.

"I think you'll get out of here fast, you have a good incentive." El winked, her eyes flicking at Harry and I blushed.

"Well I really appreciate you all being here, seriously. I don't know if I could handle everything right now without your support." I thanked them with teary eyes.

"Aww Mia!" Eleanor engulfed me in a tight embrace, her eyes mirroring mine.

"You know we'd never leave you here by yourself right?" Liam smiled warmly.

"If I wasn't sure of that before, I certainly am now." I smiled back.

"You better." Zayn winked.

"I hate to say this but the house isn't the same without you." Louis cooed. "Now I don't hear someone say 'Harry put the toilet lid down' or 'Louis you were suppose to clean the dishes an hour ago'." He mocked a girlie weird accented voice.

"I do not speak like that." I showed him my tongue.

"You're right, it's worse!"

"Shut up." I pouted. "I don't speak like that… do I?" I turned to Harry.

"What? No! Of course not." He replied in the least convincing tone ever.

I narrowed my eyes and yawned.

"We should leave you to get some rest." Zayn pointed out. I really wanted them to stay a bit longer but the medication really makes me sleepy and really tired.

"We'll wait for you outside." Liam told Harry when they all said goodbye to me.

"Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" I asked Harry weakly staring at our hands.

"Okay." He nodded. I turned to my side to have a better look of him.

Harry leaned a little closer and my eyes fluttered when he placed a sweet lingering kiss in my forehead. "Close your eyes love."

For a moment I thought he was going to kiss me. I wouldn't stopped him if he was.
I really tried to have a couple time apart because what he did was wrong and the pain he caused me was practically unbearable but it's even worse when he's away.

Eventually I fell asleep with his hand gently stroking my hair...



Notes

I'm a bit emotional today because I have to announce there's only 10 chapter left of this story!!
I've been writing this for so long now I can't believe it's almost over.. :o I'm not sure how you'll feel about the ending of the story tho because I don't think any of you will expect it but I think it's the kind of end that either you'll love it or hate it... I just don't know which one but I hope you'll tell me when the day comes...

Enjoy the remaining chapters!! <3

xx

@M.J.

It's amazing how you know my writing and that I don't do happily ever after which is true but I don't think I've ever mentioned that (?)
And yes, I'm replying 6 months later, sorry.
I do envision the next step after that last chapter ended but that, of course, is gonna stay in my head. :)

I am curious though what do you think happens? I know you dont really write happily ever after, but do see it in your head? I loved this chapter, i had so much fun reading both this stories! You are a great writer and it has been a privelege seeing how you have grown and improved! Congrats on ending this huge project!
