Nothing At All
Chapter Fourteen
Rose’s POV
After about an hour of letting the doctor look at me and clear me to be okay, my mom and the girls came in with a fresh change of clothes and some towels so I could take a shower. I didn’t remember the last time I took a shower since being kidnapped but one sounded amazing. I walked into the bathroom that was connected to the bedroom I was sharing with Harry and stripped off my dirty and nasty clothes. They were gross and I told my mom to just throw them away since I had worn them for so long. As I let the hot water relax my muscles and wash away the dirt caked on my body, I started thinking about what was going to happen next. I knew Will was probably pissed beyond belief because I left but he forgot about the sleeper hold I knew how to do and I got out but what I was most nervous about was the fight that would brew. I knew Will well enough to know that he was going to bug Harry until he cracked and things would get dirty for him. I didn’t know how long I was standing under the water worrying about everything until there was a knock on the door.
“You okay babe?” I heard Harry’s voice and I smiled.
“I’m fine love,” I replied, “Just getting caught up in my thoughts. I’ll be out in a minute.”
“Okay,” he said and I quickly washed my hair and body and got out of the shower.
I smiled at the fact that my mom pulled out one of my favorite shirts of Harry’s. It was his Ramones t-shirt that I told him I was going to steal one day. I quickly changed into my clothes and put my hair into a braid. I opened the bathroom door to see Harry sitting down next to it and I sighed. I figured this paranoia would start as soon as he knew I was okay.
“Come on,” he said grabbing my hand after he got up from the floor, “It’s time to talk.”
I nodded my head and followed Harry who led me to the bed and then got me all set up since I wasn’t allowed to walk more than from the bed to the bathroom and back to the bed. Once I was all situated he turned to look at me.
“Do you want to start or do you want me to start?” he asked and I took a minute to answer.
“I know you want to talk right now love,” I said, “but can we just relax tonight? I haven’t slept a full night in over two weeks.”
Harry looked like he was going to fight it but after a minute of looking me over he nodded his head.
“I’m going to let you rest then,” Harry said getting off the bed but I quickly protested.
“NO,” I said quickly, “Please don’t leave.”
“Rose,” Harry started but I could feel the tears start to bubble up.
“Please don’t go,” I whispered wiping the tears away roughly, “I can’t be alone right now.”
Harry then quickly pulled me closer to him and we laid down.
“Don’t worry babe,” he said, “I’m not going anywhere.”
I just nodded my head and took in his smell. He must have just smoked a cigarette because he smelt of smoke and his cologne which calmed me down.
“You know while I was in that house,” I started, “I got to know your room pretty well.”
“I know,” Harry said and could hear the embarrassment in his voice.
“I had no idea how close you were with your dad. . .before. . .” I started.
“Yeah,” he said, “We were pretty close. He actually gave me this.”
He then pulled out a chain with his paper airplane on it.
“I haven’t taken it off since he died,” he said quietly and looked up at him to see him staring off.
“You know you can cry in front of me,” I whispered and he looked down at me and his beautiful green eyes were glossy.
“I don’t think I could’ve survived knowing you died,” he whispered pulling me even closer to him, “I would’ve went off the deep in. I’ve lost a lot of good friends and a lot of family from this lifestyle.”
“Then how come you’re a part of it?” I asked.
“Because it’s all I’ve ever known,” he said, “And its something I’m good at. My father was head of his gang with the boys’ dads so we followed them. We’re a lot nicer to our girls though. My mum had put up with a lot of shit from my dad.”
This was the first time Harry was actually talking about his family and I wasn’t going to stop him.
“She knew he cheated on her a lot,” Harry said, “and she still stayed by his side. I don’t know if she knew what he would do when he was gone on ‘business’ but she stuck by his side through thick and thin. Watching it grow up in some ways made me realize that I was never going to treat my girlfriend and future wife like that. I was going to treat her like the princess she was and then I found you.”
He then looked down at me and smiled his famous Harry Styles grin, dimples and all.
“And you completely changed my outlook on how to treat a girlfriend,” he said smiling, “You showed me I could treat you like an equal. I could tell you everything and you would try to understand before you freaked out.”
He continued to say that I completely shocked him and before he could finish I cut him off with a kiss. When we pulled away Harry’s eyes were still closed but he had a look of content across his features.
“And you’ve always proved me wrong babe,” I replied quietly and leaned in to kiss him again.
This time Harry’s hands found my waist and much to the doctor’s notes I moved so I was straddling Harry’s lap. Our kiss was getting heated quickly and I could feel Harry’s hands roaming up and down my sides. Harry’s lips left mine and started working on my neck when there was a knock at the door and Harry groaned making me laugh.
“Come in,” I said getting off of Harry’s lap and sitting next to him on the bed.
“Um. . .Sorry to interrupt your reunion guys but Simon needs to talk to you Haz,” Louis said sticking his head and I smiled at him.
“Alright,” Harry sighed, “I’ll be right back okay? You call if you need anything and keep the windows locked.”
“Okay,” I said.
“Go get the girls and have them stay with her,” Harry told Louis and Louis smiled and nodded his head.
Harry then kissed me one last time and disappeared. Louis then came into the room followed by Eleanor, Danielle, Perrie, Delilah, and Gemma.
“The girls are going to watch you,” Louis said, “Simon has one of his security guards outside the door in case anything happens. If something bad happens you girls scream understand?”
“Sir yes sir,” I said saluting him.
“If Harry heard you,” Louis said shaking his head.
“Don’t worry she’s in good hands babe,” Eleanor said, “We’ve all been taking our defense classes.”
“Good,” Louis said and kissed his cheek, “Be good we’ll be done with this meeting shortly.”
Louis then took his exit and the girls all looked at me and gave me the ‘spill look.’ Guess I knew what I was going to be doing the next hour while we waited.
