CHAPTER 38

ANGIE'S POV

I woke up the next morning to see Harry smiling at me from across the room. He stood infront of a wheelchair with a hopeless expression on his face.

"How long have you been standing there?" I wondered out loud.

"Don't worry I just got here. Now hop in, and we can go back to London."

That's when I remembered that I couldn't walk and that the wheelchair was for me. Great.

"Bring it closer Harry. I don't bite." I teased.

He walked over to me pushing the wheelchair and then helped me into it. 

"How are you feeling today?" He asked as we walked down the hall of the hospital.

"Emotionally or physically?" I spat.

"Err both?" He sounded confused.

"Physically, my feet hurt and that's just about it. But emotionally, I feel broken. Almost shattered." I felt like I couldn't tell Harry why I felt broken, but I knew that he would figure it out.

"Why are you shattered?" He stopped pushing the wheelchair and walked in front of me.

"It's just not easy Harry." I said trying not to get too deep into the conversation.

"What's not easy?" He was on to me.

"Dating you." I said unable to look him in the eye.

"We've dated before and it was fine." He sounded upset.

"That was before you became famous. It's like I can't go anywhere with my boyfriend and actually get peace. And the sad thing is, that will never change." I saw a tear form in Harry's eye. I instantly felt guilty and regretted speaking the truth.

"Are you breaking up with me?" He stammered.

I realized that it did sound like I was breaking up with him, but that's not what I meant. I loved Harry and I wanted him to be my boyfriend, I was just stressed and confused.

"No." I said flatly.

Without saying anything, Harry exited the hospital where surprisingly, there were no fans. Just a jet. Weird. 

"Private flight for my dear Angie." He said laughing.

He pushed me up the ramp and onto the jet. Then he helped me out of the wheelchair and into a comfy white plane seat next to him. 

"I love you Angie." He said softly.

I grabbed his hand and smiled, then said "I love you too Hazza."

*BACK IN LONDON*

"That was a long flight." I mumbled as Harry and I entered his and Lou's flat.

As the door flung open I saw Louis, Niall, Zayn, Liam, Robin, and Matthew watching a movie. They all looked up and saw Harry with a boot on his ankle, and a cast on his hand. Then there eyes went to me sitting in a wheelchair with casts on both feet.

There was a long awkward silence, as I noticed all of their different reactions.

Louis and Liam looked concerned. Zayn looked confused. Niall looked angry. Matthew had an unreadable expression on his face. And sweet little Robin was laughing. Yep you read that right, she was laughing.

"What's funny?" Harry spoke.

"I just laugh in awkward situations. Sorry." She mumbled. 

"WHAT HAPPENED?" Louis ran up to us. His face was red and puffy, but I pushed that aside for now.

"We were trampled." I confessed.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked.

"Yes Liam I have broken both of my feet and I am just feeling grand." I said with sarcasm. 

"Sorry." Liam mumbled.

I took this lull in the conversation to bring up Louis and his red puffy face. “Louis what’s wrong?” I asked.

“Eleanor and I brokeup…” His voice trailed off.

“I’m so sorry.” I said in a soft voice. If I hadn’t been in this wheel chair, I would have given him a hug.

“It’s okay! I’m really not all that upset!” He plastered a wide smile on his face that just about convinced me that he was going to be okay.

“Well I was thinking that I could go back to school.” I said randomly.

They all looked at me like I was crazy, and wouldn't speak, so I decided to continue. "I want to move out with Matthew and go back to high school for my senior year." I said angrily. I didn't know I spoke in an angry tone, but I wasn't in any mood to question my emotions. 

"Alright." Matthew said in a flat tone.

"I have most of my stuff right here." I pointed to the luggage from the trip.

"I never really unpacked, so I guess were all packed." He grinned.

"Great!" I sounded happy now. What was wrong with my emotions?

"We should be out by the end of the week boys." Matthew said.

"Did you and Harry break up or something? Why are you so urgent to leave?" Liam asked.

"No Harry and I are still together, but that doesn't mean I have to live with him. I want to go back to school." I said beaming.

"But why?" Niall asked.

"Because I miss my friends, and my normal life. I am not ready for all of this attention." I mumbled. 

"Oh okay." Zayn mumbled.

"When will we see you?" Louis asked.

"You guys are my best friends, and my boyfriend, we can hangout and stuff after school." I smiled.

"Just like normal." Harry said.

I had honestly forgotten about Harry because he was standing behind me.

"Exactly." I said softly.

*ONE WEEK LATER*

"So when do we go back to school?" I asked Matthew as we ate breakfast in our own apartment.

"Tomorrow! Angie why do you keep forgetting that?" He laughed.

"Oops." I giggled.

"So are you ready for this?" He looked serious.

"Yeah I am going to go call Mary." I said wheeling myself to the living room.

Mary was my best friend we just hadn't really kept in touch sense the day that Harry came to my house. I assumed that everyone at my school knew I was dating him because of pictures and magazines and well my twitter, but I just wanted to make sure.

I dialed her familiar number and waited for an answer.

"Hello, this is Mary." Her voice was comforting.

"Mary, it's me Angie." I sounded nervous.

"Finally decided to call?" Her voice was cold.

"I'm sorry, I got busy." I tried.

"Yeah with your new boyfriend? Niall, or Harry. I don't know who your dating now."

"You knew that I dated Harry before he was famous." I was almost crying.

"So what?" She sputtered at me.

"Well we got back together."

"No duh."

"I am coming back to school." I said softly. 

"Is Harry coming back to?" She asked.

"No, just me. Mary I miss you and I want to be your friend again." I was nervous for her answer.

"Only because I love you so much, you're forgiven."

"Thank you so much!" I yelled.

"Tell me everything." She now sounded like her normal giddy self.

"I can't now, I am eating breakfast, but I'll see you tomorrow." I hoped she would be okay with this.

"Okay, but Angie, you should know that everyone at our school like loves you."

I was really shocked by this. I thought that everyone would hate me, but this is way better. "Great!" I screamed.

She laughed and then said "Bye see you tomorrow."

I hung up and wheeled myself up to my new room. I had to find the best outfit ever. As I was going through my clothes, I came across the most beautiful outfit ever. It was a white lace top with a floral pattern that I decided to pair whit khaki short shorts, and cute sandals. It was simple, yet cute.

As I was laying out the outfit in my bathroom, my phone started ringing. It was Louis.

"Louis!" I yelled.

"Angie!" He matched my high pitched tone.

"What's up?" I was laughing.

"Can we take you and Matthew to school tomorrow?" He asked.

"That would make a scene, don't you think?" I answered his question with a question.

"Yes but please?" He dragged out the e in please.

"Oh fine. Be at my place around 6:45." I gave in.

"Yay!! Thank you Angie! I love you!" He screamed.

"Love you too Lou." I rhymed! No big deal.

As I set my phone down, I saw I had a new text from Harry.

"What are you doing today? Hangout maybe? XXXX Styles"

"No plans...Come on over to my place. Bring the boys too. Oh and Robin!! Maybe my friend can come too. Bring lunch please, we have no food. :) xx Angie"

"The boys and Robin would love to. What's your friends name? Oh and 20 minutes?" xxxxx Styles"

"Mary. And 20 minutes sounds great. Can't wait to see you! ;P xx Angie"

"See ya later babe <3 xxxXX Styles, Harry" 

I found it super cute how he signed his messages differently every time. I then wheeled myself back into the kitched to see Matthew on his phone.

"The boys and Robin are coming over in 20 minutes. Okay?" I asked.

"Sounds fun. But I am leaving to meet up with Greg." He said while standing up and leaving.

I knew that Greg was his best friend from 6th grade, so I didn't question him.

"Have fun!" I called as he walked out.

I then decided to call Mary and invite her over. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. She answered very quickly.

"Long time no talk." She joked.

"Hey this is last minute, but the boys are coming over for lunch, would you like to join us?" I asked.

"Sure! What's your address?" She sounded excited.

I gave her my address and she said that she would be right over. 

I then sat back in my wheel chair and went over to watch tv. About halfway through my episode of How I Met Your Mother, there was a knock at the door. I wheeled myself over and opened it to see Harry and the rest of the boys, Robin included.

"Come on in!" I yelled.

They all walked in and joined me watching tv.

"My friend Mary is coming over." I announced. 

"Cool." Louis said blandly. 

We then heard a knock on the door. Everyone quickly stood up to meet her, which surprised me because they weren't excited to meet her a few minutes ago. Louis was first to reach the door. He swung it open and was now face to face with Mary.

I hadn't seen Mary in a few months, but she looked the same. Blond silky hair that fell to the middle of her back, and sparkling blue eyes. 

"Hello there gorgeous." Louis said, causing Mary to blush.

She ignored Louis's comment and ran over to me, where I was sitting behind the boys. 

"Angie what happened?" She sounded concerned.

"Hazza and I were trampled in Costa Rica." I said laughing.

"So and Harry are a thing?" She said smiling at me.

Harry hobbled over to me and kissed the top of my head. "Forever and always." He said sweetly.

"Awww you guys are too cute." Mary gushed.

Then Robin walked over to Mary and said, "Hey I know that you know all the names of these other people, but you probably don't know me. My name is Robin, nice to meet you." 

"I'm Mary, it's a pleasure to meet you. So what's your connection to the boys?" Mary asked.

"Nialler here is my brother." She said proudly.

"I didn't know Niall had a sister." Mary said looking over to Niall.

"Mean either." Niall said, and we all laughed.

After all of the boys formally introduced themselves, we sat down and ate the lunch Harry had prepared for all of us.

"Thanks for lunch Harry." I said kissing his cheek lightly.

"No problem, anytime." He winked at me.

"So Mary, tell us about yourself." Louis prompted.

"Well Angie and I have been best friends for about 2 years and I have an older brother. I'm not sure what you want to know." She said laughing.

"Everything." Louis winked at her.

Mary looked a little surprised, but didn't say anything. We were all quiet for a minute, just eating our food, when Harry whispered in my ear, "Louis likes your friend."

I nearly choked on my water, making Harry laugh. 

"What's funny?" Niall asked.

"Skip it." I said stifling my laugh. 

We finished our meal making small talk about the boys new song and just random stuff. When everyone was done eating, we all decided to watch a movie. 

Harry helped me onto the couch between him and Lou. This is how we sat from left to right on my leather sectional- Liam, Harry, Me, Louis, Mary, Zayn, and Niall with Robin on his lap. 

Harry leaned in and whispered in my ear, "What was funnier earlier?"

I whispered back "Mary has a boyfriend of 4 years. They're in love."

As soon as the words left my mouth Harry started laughing, which made me laugh. Everyone stopped and stared at us like we were nuts considering we were watching a sad movie. Harry and I stopped laughing and he whispered to me, with everyone watching, "Look at Louis."

I turned my head to see that Louis had his arm draped across Mary's shoulder, and was staring at her intently with a huge grin on his face. Mary on the other hand look uncomfortable and awkward. I stifled my laugh and whispered back to Harry, "Look at her."

He leaned his head forward and saw the awkward look on Mary's face. "What's his name?" He whispered.

Assuming that he was talking about her boyfriend, I whispered back "Josh."

He nodded his head and we continued watching the movie, and Louis and Mary. 

When the movie was finished, we all remained sitting on the couch in silence as the credits came onto the screen. Harry, trying to have a good laugh said, "So Mary, how's Josh?" 

Her face turned red and she didn't say anything. 

"Who's Josh?" Louis asked, pulling his arm off of her.

"My boyfriend." Mary mumbled.

As soon as she said that, Louis jumped up and walked out of the room. 

"Awkward." Niall said laughing.

"Maybe I should go...I feel weird." Mary said standing up.

"Uhh okay, see you tomorrow Mary!" I stammered.

"Bye." She said as she left.

I decided that I should go talk to Louis, so I had Harry help me into my wheelchair. I wheeled myself down the hall, not knowing where he was. I noticed that my door was shut, and I had left it open, so I knew he was in there.
