Lost To You

Chapter 22

~ Audrey's POV ~

He sat there, looking at me as if I was a crazy person. What did I do? I just told him I loved him, and he's staring at me with his jaw on the floor.

"What?" He asked me, standing up from the bed.

"I said....I love you too." I smiled, and he looked at the ground.

"Did I say I loved you? I didn't mean to i-it just slipped." He stuttered, and I felt my heart break.

"You didn't mean to? Thanks," I scoffed and rolled my eyes, picking up my purse from the nightstand,

"That's not what I meant-no! Uhhh-" I cut him off.

"Whatever, Harry. If you didn't mean it then you didn't mean it. Excuse me, but I still have to go to the hospital." I said dryly before pushing past him and back into the living room.

"I'll ask one more time. Deborah, do you want to come to the hospital with me to visit Joseph?" I asked her, and everyone looked at me.

"Uhhhh....." She looked around nervously, her eyes scanning the faces of the the people in the room.

"Please?" I asked her, my head hurting from the previous shit that just went down.

"Auds.....Okay, let's go." She let out a sigh, and grabbed her phone from the coffee table. I smiled, and waved to everyone as we left the condo.

"Where have you been?" Zachary asked, me and Deborah sighed in unison.

"What room is he in?" Deborah asked, him harshly. He looked ATF her and pulled a sarcastic smile, but quickly dropped it back to his normal face. Ew.

"Room 806. Enjoy." He said sarcastically, and we shoved passed him into the hospital. Ugh.

As we found his room, Deborah and I walked in. Joseph lay there staring at the ceiling, with his arm in a cast and a band around his head to stop the bleeding.

"Jo?" Deborah asked, her throat suddenly dry. He tilted his head our direction, and smiled at his girlfriend.

"Deborah. I thought you would never talk to me again. I'm so sorry, okay? Both of you. I was angry, and wasn't thinking right....I love you, Deborah...so much. And Audrey I'm sorry I invited Zachary, and forced you guys out...I miss you, both." He said, and Deborah leaned in to kiss him on the lips.

"I miss you too, Joseph...A lot. And I-I love you." She smiled, and kissed him one more time.

"What happened?" I asked, looking at him.

"The taxi driver hit a dip and swerved into a semi truck. I'm in the hospital." He said, and we all chuckled.

"How are you feeling?" Deborah asked, brushing his hair back.

"You're not mad?" He asked, and Deborah shrugged.

"Nah. Love, doesn't hold grudges. I don't need an explanation, I just need to forgive you." Deborah smile, and he kissed her once again.

"Audrey, Niall heard what went down with you and Harry. No matter what he said, he loves you. Go talk to him and tell him that." Deborah commanded, as I stood there speechless.

"We just got here-" she cut me off.

"Go." Deborah pointed to the door, and I huffed.

"Joseph-" he cut me off.

"Now." He said, and I rolled my eyes, walking out the door and through the hospital.

I busted through the door, my heart racing along with my mind.

"Whoa!" Niall exclaimed, and I laughed.

"Where's Harry?" I asked frantically. Everyone pointed down the hall and to his bedroom, U nodded and made my way to it. I opened the door and shut it behind me. Harry buried himself under the blankets and pillows of his bed, I giggled at how cute he was. I took off my shoes and jacket, joining him under the blankets where he looked up at me in confusion.

"I do love you, Audrey. I just panicked because I wanted to tell you in a more....special way. I'm so sorry I gave you the wrong idea," he said, and I smiled.

"Are you kidding? That was special! Harry, you said it without even knowing it....that's special. I love you Harry. Deal with it." I smiled, and he tilted his head up to kiss my lips.

"I love you more. Deal with that."
