The monster is gone — one shot (Patreon)

“Baby” She whispered as she planted soft kisses on his cheek like every other morning. Harry slowly opened his eyes, finding her leaning over the edge of the bed with a big smile. Her hair was wet and she was wearing one of his merch shirts in XL and some biker shorts. She was quite fond of the outfit especially for running errands. “People are waiting for you” Y/N added as she pushed his messy hair back and softly caressed his skin in the process. Harry could still perceive from her hands the faint aroma from her coconut butter lotion that she always used after every single shower.

“You took a shower already without me?” She only smiled at him and shook her head.

“It’s already one in the afternoon baby” Harry ran his hands across his face and groaned loudly before finally getting out of bed. She stepped back and followed his steps into the bathroom quietly. “What are you doing today?” He asked as he started stripping, but not before turning the faucet on.

“I have a dentist appointment and then I am going to buy some groceries” She shyly looked away from him. They had been together for almost a year and she still acted as if she had never seen the man naked. “I-Is there anything you need from the store?” She stuttered as she stepped into the shower.

“Not anything I can remember from the top of my head” Harry start brushing his teeth and then continued to wash his hair.

“I’ll wait for you outside,” It’s the last thing he heard before she left the room. He continued with his morning routine and his little rituals before getting dressed and heading outside. Before he even opened the door, he could already hear people laughing and Y/N’s among them.

“There he is!” Jeff exclaimed as soon as he noticed his presence in the room. Y/N was sitting beside Sarah with her legs crossed like usual. “Took you long enough” Harry rolled his eyes at him and reached down beside the couch and pick up his laptop. “I sent Y/N in there to wake you up thinking it would speed up the process but I honestly think it made it slower” Harry chuckled to himself and shook his head at him. “What were you doing in there, huh?” He turned to look at Y/N only causing her to blush.

“Leave her alone” Harry laughed as he looked through his emails and looked to order something to eat. “Pick someone your size” Harry joked pointing out her small height compared to the others in the group. Sarah and Mitch laughed. “I am ordering something to eat. Does anyone want anything?” Harry asked, looking up from his phone and noticing that Y/N had already gotten up from the couch and had her purse hanging from her shoulder.

“I got you something to eat. It’s on the counter” She smiled before heading inside the bedroom probably to grab a hoodie. She had the habit of always being cold. Her body was always warm, except for her feet. She was always wearing socks and always mismatched because she never had time or patience to look for the other specific sock. Y/N had a drawer with thousands of them with all types of different designs. Her favorite pair were the sea lions and the kittens. She always asked him for more for Christmas just so she could add to her collection. He could afford to give her anything in the world but she only wanted socks.

“Yeah? What did you get me?” Harry yelled back as he made his way to the counter and as soon as he got a glimpse of the bag a smile spread across his face. “Babe?”

“Yeah? Is everything okay? I asked them for everything you like. Did I mess it up?” She said while she walked back towards him. Harry shook his head at her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Then what?”

“Could you be any more perfect?” Y/N smiled and leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. When she was about to pull away Harry pulled her back and gave her a proper smooch. “Do you have to go?” She bit her bottom lip and nodded at him. “You could just stay here all day with me” harry whispered as he brushed his finger against her bottom lip while cupping her face.

“You need to work and Jeff and the band are here” Harry frowned and pecked her swollen, rosy lips one last time.

“I love you. Please text me and keep me updated” Harry begged her as she walked towards the front door. Harry grabbed the bag of food and followed her. “Are you taking your car?” He asked her as he noticed her taking her car keys out.

“Yeah”

“we’ve talked about this, pup” Harry leaned against the hallway. “I asked you to change your car. I don’t feel comfortable with you driving it” He argued but with a soft voice not wanting to get into a loud disagreement.

“And I told you that is easier said than done, Harry” She crossed her arms across her chest. “Not everyone has that kind of money laying around” She could be timid and blush every time she saw him naked or after any sexual innuendo, but when needed Y/N would fight against what she believed.

“That’s right we don’t!” Jeff interrupted their conversation.

“shut the fuck up, Jeff ” Harry wasn’t saying it because he didn’t like the appearance of her car, but because he didn’t feel comfortable with her driving it. It was an unsafe car and it was old. It had also broken down on her a few times in the middle of traffic. “Just take one of my cars” Harry suggested knowing that she would be safer.

“You are crazy, baby. I love you too much to know that your cars are your greatest possessions and they mean a lot to you. I am taking my car and that’s final. Either way, I am only going to the dentist and then the store. I’ll be back in no time” Y/N smiled and opened the front door. Defeated he ran his hands through his hair and only nodded at her. “I love you” She leaned in and kissed him once more. “Bye, guys!” She yelled, walking out of the house and into her car.

“Fuck me” Harry cursed, as he make his way into the living room frustrated that things hadn't gone his way and she hadn't taken his advice.

“You are whipped” Jeff commented as Harry opened the bag where his food came in.

“Have you seen her?” he asked between bites, taking his frustration out on the food that his beautiful yet stubborn girlfriend had gotten him. “It’s very hard to say no to that”.

“She is pretty cute” Jeff panted ha back trying his best to comfort me. “Let’s just work so when she gets back you can spend some time with her”. Harry nodded back as the entire team quickly indulged themselves in work for the upcoming weeks.

It had been a few hours and they had mostly done everything on their to-do list. They had planned trips and business meetings and the only thing left was to them and do some proofreading of the lyrics. They had just started to go over beats and rhythms when his ringtone interrupted the session.

“Hold on guys. I am getting a call” Harry apologized. “Hello. Who is this?” Hoping it wasn’t a fan that had figured out his phone number. Something that happened more often than he’d like to. To his surprise, it was the voice of a man.

“Is this Harry Styles?” He asked skeptically but in a very serious tone confirming that Harry that it wasn’t a call from a fan.

“Yes this is him speaking”

“Do you know Y/N Y/L/N?”

“Yes that’s my girlfriend”

“There’s been an accident sir. She had you as her emergency contact. A car has crashed into your car and she is badly hurt. We hope you can come down here as soon as possible.” He said then proceed on dictating to him the road to the site of the crash. It had just happened and they were tending to everyone. Harry had gone numb and suddenly could feel his hands or feet.

“Who is it? Why are you so serious?” Jeff asked while laughing into the mic oblivious to the news that I had just received. “Harry?” He asked again, Harry ripped his headset off his body and dropped everything

“Y/N just got into an accident” he managed to say not caring if anyone understood or anything. He quickly ran out of the house and into his car. It only happened a few blocks away from the house which was more upsetting. She had been that close to being back into his arms safely. His hands were sweaty and wet. His heart felt like it was about to explode and he could hear it beating in his ears loudly. He had a knot in his throat and he felt like bursting into tears. “Stupid fucking car!” He yelled as he punched the steering wheel disregarding the pain. He pulled up as soon as saw the commotion and the lights of the cops without the care he got out of the car and walked towards the scene.

“That’s my girlfriend,” Harry said to the cop as a paramedic came running towards him, clearly recognizing him.

“Harry?” He asked him with a reassuring smile. “Come. She is conscious we just got her settled on the stretcher. We were just about to load her into the ambulance” He pats his back in the same reassuring manner that Jeff had done earlier that day. “She is really funny. She’s been making all of us laugh” Harry sniffed and swiped his hand across his face realizing that he had started crying already and still haven’t even seen her.

She was already in the ambulance when he reached her. harry grabbed her hand, “Baby” he mustered to say as he notice the state she was in, nothing like the girl that had greeted him in the morning.

“harry?” She asked and looked around for me. Her neck had been immobilized for her good and prevented her from seeing him. So he leaned over and looked down at her. A smile spread across her face, but she continued to cry silently.

“I love you so much,” he said as he tried his best to compose himself for her.

“You were right. I’m so sorry” She sobbed loudly only causing him to cry too. Harry gently pushed

the hair off her forehead remembering how he had done the same thing that morning.

“Don’t worry about that baby” Before he could say anything else the other paramedics let him know that they were taking her to the hospital and asked him to meet them over there with some clothes for her. Harry said his goodbyes and reassured her that he would be waiting for her in the hospital.

“Emily ?” Harry asked as she picked up her phone whilst he drove behind the ambulance. Emily was his latest assistant. She had just gotten to the house and Jeff had filled her in on what had happened.

“Harry? What’s going on?” Her voice cracks and he could sense that she was holding back so he wouldn't be able to hear her crying.

“Y/N got in an accident. I was able to talk to jer. They are taking her to the nearest hospital. I need you to pack her a bag” Harry wiped the tears off his face with the sleeve of his sweatshirt. She was the rock of the relationship. She kept him sane but today he needed to be strong for her.

“Alright. I’ll do it right now and head over there. Jeff is heading that way too. He felt as soon as I arrived” Harry could hear her running and the doors shutting echoed through the house. “do you need me to call anyone?”

“just her parents. I’ll text the rest later when we know what’s going on”

“Alright. Also, get me a pair of shoes. Ran out without any of them on”

“Jeff took a pair with him” Harry hangs up after that comment. Not only had he arrived at the hospital but he could see that Jeff was waiting for him by the entrance. He was on his phone walking side to side.

Harry pulled his hoodie over his head knowing how people would get it as soon as they saw him.

“Hey” Jeff hung up as soon as he saw him and pulled him into a hug but not before giving him the pair of shoes. “I shouldn’t have left her to go” Harry cried, “this is my fucking fault”

“don’t say that. No one could predict this. You need to get yourself together before we go in there because she needs you right now more than ever” Jeff hugged him for a few more seconds before letting him go. “Here are some shoes. You left without any of them on”.

Y/N had a dislocated shoulder, a broken arm, three broken ribs, and a broken ankle that would need surgery. They sedated her so they could work on her and help ease the pain.

She had been asleep most of the night, yet Harry never left her side. He held her hand with care trying her best not to wake her. Her usual white nail polish had been partially scraped off and her hands were particularly dirty except in the places that the nurses had disinfected and covered with gauze.

Her face and shoulders were scrapped and she had various cuts from the glass flying everywhere. Her lip was also busted from the impact of the airbag. Surprisingly, her nose hadn’t been broken.

“Hi” she spoke, waking up from her long slumber. Harry leaned in and held her hand closer to him. “How are you?” She asked him, so he shook his head in disbelief.

“How are you feeling?” He ignored her previous question.

“Sore and very dirty and not in a good way” she cracked a joke, earning a chuckle from Harry. “Look at me” she insisted noticing that he hadn’t looked her in the eyes since she woke up.

“I thought I had lost you forever,” He told her with tears in his eyes. “I don’t ever want to live without you” he cried.

“I am not going anywhere” she whispered as Harry continued to kiss the back of her hand.
