Secrets Within

Chapter Fourteen


I wake up in a deserted room with no television, a hard platform bed and one blanket. I have no clue what the time is seeing my room has no windows.

“Hi sweetie, My name is Doctor Bromel. How’re you feeling this morning?”

“Wha..what time is it?” I ask

“It’s about 10:30 a.m.” she tells me

“Oh I have school, I have to go” I say frantically.

“You’re in the hospital dear, you won’t be going to school today. Are you feeling better this morning?” she asks again

“Uh.. yeah. I mean no. my head and arm are killing me, what happened?” I ask

“According to your chart you were assaulted yesterday evening. Then you overdosed on your anxiety pills ultimately cutting your wrist up.” Dr. Bromel explains to me

It’s no wonder my arm is so sore. I don’t even remember doing that. I do remember arguing with Louis, then Harry driving me somewhere.

“Harry… where’s Harry? Where’s my parents?” I ask tears escaping my eyes

“I’m afraid we cannot find your parents at this time. However your boyfriend and his mom will be here later to see you.”

Doctor Bromel checks me over and has a nurse change my bandages. Then I go out to eat breakfast. When I’m finished eating I have to sit through this meeting for people with addiction. We talk about our feelings and I listen to everyone’s story before it’s my turn.
“Hi, my name is Emerson. I um… I’ve been abusing Xanex pills for over three months now. I guess it all started when my parents were leaving every other day to travel supposedly for business. It got worse after they told me I was adopted, uh I don’t know what else to say.” I tell the group

“Welcome Emerson.” Everyone says

After introductions we listen to this lady speak for an hour about how she overcame addiction. After she was done we closed the meeting with the serenity prayer.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

I use the phone to try to call my Harry but he doesn’t answer. I try my mom next, but they don’t answer either. With nothing else to do I go back to my room and sleep some more.
I am woken up a few hours later by my nurse.

“Emerson, sweetie? You have a visitor.” She says

I sit up and run my fingers through my hair. A part of me is hoping it is my mom or even my dad for that matter. It just so happened to be someone even better though.

“Hey love how ya feelin?” Harry’s raspy voice said

I jumped off of my bed flinging myself around Harry. If he wouldn’t of caught me both of us would have toppled over.

“Harry, you came!” I say excitedly

“Why yes, I told you I would.”

“Oh, you did? I don’t remember much of anything from yesterday.” I say

“That’s ok, it’s better that you don’t.” he tells me

Harry and I visit for about an hour before his mom come in.

“Mum I would like to officially introduce you to Emerson.” Harry says

“Hi Emerson, nice to meet you my name is Anne.” She says

“Hi Anne, nice to meet you too.” I say

Anne tells me that my parents have been found, they’re in Chile for business no surprise there. They won’t be home for another three days at least.

“That’s great, I get to be in the hell hole for three more days” I whine

“Actually no, since I signed the papers for you to be admitted then I can sign them to discharge you as well… which I already did” Anne tells Harry and I.

“Harry love, help Emerson gather her things and I will meet you two out in the front with the car.” Anne tells Harry


Harry helped me to get my shorts and t-shirt on. Then he helped me to get my shoes on. As I gather my stuff in my room Harry goes to get the rest of it from the nurse’s station. An orderly comes to my door with a wheelchair and helps me into it. Harry comes back with my bag, phone and keys, he hands them to me and we leave with the orderly.

“Um am I staying at my house by myself?” I ask on the ride home

“No dear, you’ll be staying with us until your parents get home.” Anne says

“Yea Gemma is away visiting our nan back in England. You’ll be staying in her room. It’s right next to mine in case you need anything.” Harry says

“Oh, cool. Sounds good uh I still have to grab some stuff from my house though if that’s alright?” I ask

“Of course. Harry will help you gather some things for you.”

We arrive to Harry’s house, Anne goes inside while Harry and I go next door to my house. We go inside and I go up to the bathroom to gather up some stuff from in there. When I walk in and turn on the light I see blood everywhere.

“Em you ok?” Harry says walking in

“Oh shit, Em get out of here. I’ll clean this up love”

I leave and go to my bedroom. I lie down on my bed and start to cry. I can hear Harry in the hall so I roll to my side my back facing the door just in case he walks in. When I roll to m side I see a blood stain on my pink carpet. I sit up and go over to where the spot it to get a better look. I also see some small blood spatter on the wall and table as well.

“Harry!” I shout

“Yeah?” he says coming in to the room

“Wh..what happened here?” I ask

“Oh that. Um Louis had been the one to assault you, when he hit you it split your lip and the force of the blow caused you to hit your head on the table ultimately with you ending up on the floor.” Harry explains to me

I don’t waste any more time. I grab what I need and shove it in a duffel bag. Harry grabs my laptop, chargers and my backpack, then we leave to go back to his house. When we get back Anne has dinner done, so we eat then head upstairs.

Harry settles me into his sister’s room before kissing my forehead and going to his room. I lie in bed for a while and can’t fall asleep so I get up and go to Harry’s room. The door is wide open and I can see he is on the phone talking to someone.

“Yea, No she’s in Gem’s room sleeping. Niall I’m telling you I’m in love with her. Yes her life is pretty fucked up right now, but I love her mate.” I hear Harry say to him

Harry loves me? I guess I’ve known this though. The funny thing is though I think I love him too. He makes me happy, treats me like a girl should be treated. He’s all I think about anymore.

Harry hangs up the phone and lies down, shutting off the lamp light. I take a deep breath and walk into his room.

Harry?” I whisper

“Hm, is everything ok? What do you need?” he asks

“I… I can’t sleep.” I say

“Oh, yea me either.” he says rolling towards me

“Harry.. can, can I sleep in here? I only feel safe when I’m around you.” I say quietly

“Oh um yeah, I can sleep on the floor.”

“Don’t be ridiculous Harry.” I say

Harry gets up and helps me into his bed. He crawls in on the other side taking off his shirt and tossing it to the floor. He lies down and rolls to his side away from me. I lie still for a moment before scooting closer to Harry’s back and wrap my arm around his torso, and lying my head in the crook of his neck. Harry rubs my hand before kissing it.

“Goodnight Emerson.” he says

“Harry?”

“Yeah?”

“Um, I…I think I’m in love with you too”
