Mandolin Rain

Harry's POV

It's been five days since I got here. Elliot woke up two days after I got here, confused, disoriented, and hungry. I was actually thankfully that she was hungry. I was timid though. Even though we were on a break I did kiss someone else. I slept naked with someone else. I had to be honest with her. I had to tell her, eventually. She was still sleeping a lot and in and out so I didn't want to say anything to upset her.

“Harry.” I look up to see Elliot smiling at me. Her lips are cracked, she hasn't taken a proper shower in days and she's still cheerful.

“Hey baby.” I quickly stand up and rush to her side sitting on the bed careful not to sit on or pull any of her IV's. Shes on fluid and taking antibiotics to make sure no infection sets in from her wounds. She's already had to get her IV moved twice because they keep blowing her veins. More bruises have peppered her perfect skin.

“Can you get me some water please?” She croaks out.

“Yes.” I look around the room for her cup and find it on the table bringing it to her mouth.

“Mmm, thank you.” She leans her head back resting. “You didn't have to come back.”

“Of course I did. I love you. I would do anything for you.” I brush the hair from her face and kiss her gently as to not hurt her anymore.

“But the last time we talked...” She starts.

“Lets not worry about that right now, we're not on a break.” I tell her.

“A break?” She looks at me confused as my eyes grow wide. Why is she confused? Fuck. “No, you didn't let me finish before you hung up, I was going to tell you I wanted a break from us and the media. I never wanted a break from you. A break as in a vacation together or media darkness.” What have I done? She grabs the water from me again and takes a large sip. “What's the matter Harry?” She's reading my body language, she's really good that that. I have to tell her. I can't deal with this guilt. I quickly stand up and start pacing.

“Elliot, you know I love you right?” I look at her and she locks eyes with me turning her head to the side just slightly.

“W-what happened Harry?”

“I thought you wanted a break. It was my fault for jumping to conclusions.” I start.

“Say it.” She demands.

“I-I went out with Niall and Lou, we all got really drunk and I don't remember much. I-I just woke up next to Lou in a hotel room. I swear all we did was kiss, maybe some touching. I was drunk, I'm so sorry.” I finally have the courage to look at Elliot, she's clearly in pain.

“Get out.” She tells me, barely audible.

“Please don't do this.” I'm literally on my knees reaching for her hand prepared to beg for my life.

She pulls it back violently.

“You mean to tell me that when I was working, trying to call you over and over again, you were making out with your stylist?” Tears are brimming in her eyes.

“I'm so sorry. I thought you said we were over.”

“That when I was laying on a hospital bed getting stitched up and sent into a coma you were sleeping in the same bed as someone else?” Her breath is getting louder and her face angrier.

“I wasn't thinking clearly. I thought we were done.” I try to defend myself but I deserve everything she's throwing at me.

“I would never say that. I love you. I've been so worried about us being apart, missing you so much and the first chance of a strain in our relationship you bend and break. Get out.”

“Please.” I plead.

“GET OUT!” She screeches at me as tears fall from her face. A nurse abruptly opens the door.

“Everything okay in here? She asks looking at me then Elliot.

“NO, I want him out, now.” She points to me and then the door, shaking and crying. “And don't let him come back. Ever.” It's so powerful it makes me shutter.

“Elliot, please don't do this. I'm sorry.” I plead.

“Just leave Harry. I never want to see you ever again.” I see her turn her head biting back more tears.

I've lost the woman I love.

Notes

She's awake! And pissed, justified though, in my opinion.

Fun fact: I just learned how to curl my hair with my straightner. Funny, but I'm pretty excited about it. hahah.
