Through The Dark

Recollection

I was still alive, surprisingly.

I was on the tour bus, in my own bed. How did I get here? What happened to me? To Harry? To Liam?

I saw my phone laying next to me on my charger and checked the time.
4:17 A.M. woah.

I got on twitter and went to check the @onedirection account.

@onedirection: Sorry for the show cancellation tonight! The boys weren't feeling well at all. rescheduled date for _______ at the ________ arena. All ticket purchases for the previous concert will still be valid."

There was more information in other tweets but from what I had gathered, fans knew it was Harry that didn't feel well and neither did his girlfriend. Oh yay, there's that 'girlfriend' label again.

I found myself being thirsty and decided to get up to get a drink. I jumped out of my bunk and found myself to be very light headed and I almost tumbled over.

I walked to the kitchen, making sure I wouldn't wake anyone, and got a bottle of water. I sat down at one of the booths.

Then I heard some rustling from the bunk section and I heard someone coming. Please don't be Harry....Please don't be Harry....

It was Liam. Phew.

He smiled when he saw me and then sat across from me in the booth.

"Hello, Brooklyn," he said softly.

"Hi Liam, how's your...um..leg?" I asked cautiously.

He laughed a bit,

"Oh it's fine, it healed right up. How are you feeling?" He seemed genuinely concerned this time, which comforted me.

"To be honest, I don't really know. What um happened after I blacked out?" I asked.

Liam cleared his throat, " Well...Niall pulled Harry off of you, just in time practically, and Harry changed back to normal and fell to the floor sobbing, which I knew would happen, and um.."

"Wait, you knew he would cry?" I asked Liam curiously.

"Brooklyn, Harry's a vampire. He hurts people. But I see the way he feels about you, you're so brave and you challenge him and I know that hurting you is the hardest and most awful thing that he's ever had to do....and hah, I'm pretty sure he's still crying right now as we speak," Liam tried to say humorously but failed. This was all so much to take in.

I was speechless. Liam reached for my hand on the table and placed his over top.

"Brooklyn, what I'm trying to say is that you change Harry, you make him a better person and I feel like we are finally breaking through to him...he needs you, we need you. Please just do this for us," he said softly.

"Hah, it almost sounds like you're giving me a choice," I said sarcastically.

"We are. Harry wants us to let you decide, you have the option now Brooklyn, you can either stay with us or we can let you leave, it's all by Harry's request," Liam said. I was shocked.

"Are you being serious?" I asked. He had to be joking, no way would Harry just let me leave. He said that he wanted people to know I was 'his' and that I was his no matter what.

"I mean it Brooklyn, I believe Harry is...well, I believe that he's falling deeply and madly in love with you, but he doesn't want you to suffer any longer if you can't handle it," Liam finished before getting up and kissing my forehead, leaving me alone to ponder my thoughts.

Could he really...be in love with me?
