Breathe

NINAS P.O.V
I felt pain, unlimited amounts of pain; I also felt something warm stroking my hand. Water, I want water. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn’t, they were too heavy, I tried to move my arms but I was unsuccessful, I could feel myself drifting off again.

“ Please wake up baby” I heard a familiar voice, Harry? Isn’t he in London, my mind was filled with all these confused thoughts and wasn’t allowing me to wake up, maybe this is all a dream, I tried as hard as I could to fight the urge to fall back asleep, but it took over me.

HARRYS P.O.V
It’s been 3 days and she still hasn’t woke up, the doctors are starting to worry. I’m starting to worry, Lou tells me to think the best thoughts but it’s impossible.

“ Nina, you need to wake up please” I tried to reason with the lifeless body that has become my girlfriend. I put my hand into hers, it was warmer than yesterday, I squeezed it and to my surprise I felt her small hand squeeze mine back.

“ Nina, Nina can you hear me wake up babe please” I hovered over her, waiting for anything.

NINAS P.O.V
I feel a pressing need to pee. I open my eyes to see a white celling; I turn my head to the left to see that I am in a clean sterile hospital room. It’s dark except for the light on my right, my limbs ache and my chest feels like its going to collapse at any moment, but I really have to pee. I try to lift up my right arm, but am met with restriction from a cast, I look over to the left and notice the IV in my arm, and my arm responds to my will and lifts up. I shut my eyes momentarily; making sure this isn’t a dream. I notice Harry asleep, sitting beside me and leaning on my bed with his head on his folded arms. I reach out once again grateful that my body responds and run my fingers through his curly hair. He wakes up startled raising his head so fast that my weak hand falls onto the bed.

“ Harry” I croak

“ Nina” His voice cracked with relief, he grasps my hand squeezing it tightly and holding it up against his soft cheek.

“ I really have to pee” his face gapes before filling with amusement, I struggle to sit up.

“ Nina don’t move, let me call a nurse” He quickly stands and reaches for a buzzer on the bedside.

“ I need to get up,” I whisper, why do I ache absolutely everywhere, I feel so small and weak.

“ Can you just listen and wait for a nurse?” He snaps at me, exasperated.

“ Harry I really need to pee”

The nurse bursts into the room, she must be in her 40s at least.

“ Welcome back Ms. Styles” I snap my head left to see Harry grinning from ear to ear.

“ My name is Kerry, do you know where you are? Do you know what happened?” she asks as she flashes a light in each one of my eyes.

“ Yes, I remember driving back from the airport and getting into a collision, and I’m now in the hospital and I really need to pee”

“ You have a catheter Ms. Styles” how gross.

“ I would really like to get up please”

“ Nina” Harry warns as I struggle to sit up

“ Let me remove the catheter, Mr. Styles I’m sure she’d like a moment alone” The nurse gave Harry a death stare and it was hard to stifle the giggle being produced from my throat.

“ I’m not going anywhere” he reply’s blatantly

“ Harry” I try to reason


“ Nina” he says mocking the same tone of voice I used

“ Please Harry” He looked down at his shoes, taking a deep breath before nodding.

“ I’ll see you in a moment” He leans down to kiss my forehead softly. I’ve missed his touch.

Harry rushes into the room right after I’ve finished peeing, I struggle to hold onto the nurse and get to my bed.

“ Let me take her” he strides over to us. Nurse Kerry seemed hostile at first before handing me over. Gently he bends down and lifts me off the floor.

“ Watch her leg!!!” Nurse Kerry scolds him. I wrap my arms around his neck, my body isn’t reacting kindly to this means of transportation, I ache everywhere, but I’ve missed his arms. Harry places me down on the bed, I wince as I hit the fabric.

“ The doctor will be in shortly,” The nurse informed us before closing the door behind her.

“ Jesus Nina” He looks up at the celling before leaning over and putting his lips on mine softly.

“ I’m sorry,” I say simply

“ I’ve died a thousand deaths since Monday” He closes his eyes, pain etched across his face.

“ What day is it?” I look around the room, no calendar in sight.

“ It’s almost Friday, you’ve been out a good 4 days” His tone is strained
