HALF A HEART

I stumbled back to my house in tears. I couldn’t think…I couldn’t speak…Harry was in a coma…he was unconscious to the world and me may never be again…and that scared me…My heart raced as I felt like my insides were being churned with a spoon…This can’t be happening…

The argument I had with Harry seemed so pointless and stupid now. Yeah okay he kissed Celine…who the hell cares? I did apparently and I don’t even know why anymore…Harry’s in a coma and I might not be able to ever tell him that I love him again…I may never see his longing green gaze look at me with passion…or feel his tender lips kiss down my neck giving me goose bumps…I may never feel his breath warm my ear as he whispers how much he loves me…

I got to the front steps of my house and collapsed again. I can’t handle the plethora of emotions that I’ve been feeling in the past couple of weeks. The most prominent emotions coursing through my body at that moment were my unconditional love for Harry, and the regret I had for not taking him back and telling him how much he meant to me.

“Annie, what happened? Did he not take you back?” My mom said when she opened the door and knelt beside me.

“I wish that that was why I was crying…”

“What do you mean honey?”

“M-mom…” My breath hitched as I bent over in sobs again. “Mom, Harry’s in a coma and I don’t know why.” I choked out, my face buried in my hands.

“Oh Annie!” My mom wailed and threw her arms around my shoulders and I felt her begin to shake as sobs overcame her as well.

“Gemma is picking me up to take me to the hospital…”

“I’m coming with you.” My mom said standing up and disappearing into the house. She returned five minutes later with a bag full of clothes to change into a other necessities we might require.

I wiped under my eyes and sniffled as I saw Gemma’s car pull into the driveway. I stood up hesitantly as she got out of the car and ran over to me.

“Oh Gemma!” I cried and buried my face in her shoulder when she embraced me in a hug. “I just wish I could’ve told him how much he means to me!”

“I know sweetie. I know.” Her voice cracked as she began to stroke my head lightly.

“Let’s go. I want to see him…”

She nodded and my mom and I got into Gemma’s car and started driving to the hospital. Five minutes in, a question was burning in the back of my mind that I needed answered. “Gemma, how did Harry get in a coma…”

Harry’s POV

I walked into my house and slammed the door behind me.

“Harry, what’s wrong? What happened?! Did the song work?” Gemma rushed over to me and drowned me in questions.

“No! No it didn’t work! She talked to me afterwards and went to kiss me and then she just walked away! She left! Yeah she loved the song of course but nooooo that’s not good enough apparently!” Rage flowed through my body as tears pricked my eyes.

I walked away from her and started walking up the stairs to my room. “Are you going to bed?” Gemma called.

“No! I’m packing a bag and going to Holmes Chapel. I need to go home…”

There was a long pause, “Harry, our home isn’t there anymore and you know that…”

“Damn it Gemma I know! I mean the town! I just need to be there right now. I’m going to explode if I stay in London for another second… I’ll come home on Sunday…”
I didn’t hear a response from her so I kept walking up the stairs. I got to my room and found a bag suitable for a weekend back in Holmes Chapel. I didn’t care if my old house had burned down four years ago…I didn’t care. That’s not where I was going. I just needed to be around the people, be in the atmosphere of the town. I hadn’t been there since we left…and home was all I needed right now.

I was pissed at Annie as much as I was sad about what had happened in the coffee shop. Why wouldn’t she take me back? Why. Was the song not good enough? No, she was a sobbing mess during the whole damn song! So why! Why Annie why!

I stormed back down the stairs after I had packed my things. I ignored Gemma and my mum sitting on the couch watching The Holiday. I waltzed up to my car and chucked my bag in the passenger seat. I drove down the street and tried desperately not to look in Annie’s window as I drove past her house…I glanced quickly and saw her light on. Damn it…

It took every ounce of my strength to not turn around and just barge into her house and demand an explanation. I kept driving and got on the freeway and started heading for Holmes Chapel.

I tapped my hand on the steering wheel and turned up the radio as Treasure by Bruno Mars blared through my speakers.

“Give me your give me your give me your attention baby!” I belted. “I gotta tell you a lil somthin’ bout’ yourself!” I bopped my head and hummed the next few lines of the song. I did a double take when I saw someone’s car pulled over and their hazards were on. I did another double take when I saw two people in a fistfight, getting dangerously close to the edge of the valley that the freeway was on.

“Shit…” I breathed and pulled over. I can’t stand seeing people fight. I can’t stand to see someone beating someone up that isn’t the same size. Someone could get incredibly hurt…Annie taught me that…

I threw my car door open and stormed up to them. “Guys knock it off!” I yelled over the rushing traffic.

“Mind your—own business—“ One of the guys grunted as he was punched in the gut by the other guy.

“You guys are going to fall into the valley and get seriously injured.” I walked up to them and grabbed the collars of both of their coats. “I doubt this little brawl is worth that…”

“We said mind your own business!!” The one in my right hand lunged at me, bringing me to the ground. I felt the wind catch in my lungs and I couldn’t breathe for a second. Well damn this wasn’t a smart idea…

He got off of me easily and pulled a gun out and pointed it at the guy he had just been fighting. Shit!

I whirled myself up and smashed into the guy with the gun, diverting the bullet that pierced the night air.

“Idiot!” He shouted and shoved me to the side, closer to the edge of the valley.

“Leave the kid alone Jon! He has nothing to do with this!”

“He’s getting in my way! And I need my money!” He bellowed and replaced his gun back in his belt and tried to punch my jaw. I dodged and landed a punch on his nose before kneeing his abdomen.

“You little punk!” This time he connected with my jaw and I felt my head grow light as I felt myself begin to fall over.

I couldn’t stop the momentum that my body had already gained. I tumbled over the edge of the valley, feeling rocks and branches draw blood as they broke my skin in numerous places. I couldn’t stop the speed that I was gaining but my body begged me to stop. I felt a sharp pain inflame in my ankle and I knew I had broken it. All of a sudden my head collide with a rock, stopping myself completely.

I glanced up the hill and saw that I had only fallen down the hill five or six feet but I could feel a cold breeze against the top right side of my head. I lifted my aching arm up so I could feel my head with my hand and flinched when I felt warm sticky liquid that I knew to be blood. I glanced at my phone that was blinking a couple inches away from me.

I grabbed it slowly as my vision was starting to go. I glanced at the name of the person that was calling me…

“Annie…” I pleaded as I tried to hit the answer button but my fingers wouldn’t move.

I let my phone fall as I looked back up the hill and saw the man I had tried to save race down the hill toward me… and then…everything went black…an image of Annie’s soft face fading behind my closed eyelids…
