Not good enough

CHAPTER 8

5 MONTHS LATER
ALEX'S POV:
I stand, looking through the window, looking at the snow outside.
it's January 30th. Time has flied.
- Good night Alex! How are you ?-
- I'm great doc!- and for the first time, I mean it.
- Tomorrow we have family therapy, and I have great news- he says. - Your progress has been highly noticed, and we think that if you keep going like this, you might be out by the end of next month!- he smiles.
- Really ? that's awesome!!- I scream in happiness.
- Of course, once you're out, we'll see each other once a week, and we'll still have a little weight checkout to make sure everything's fine-
- Of course- I tell him. - Doc!-
he turns around.
- Tomorrow we have the session, I was wondering If Harry could stay the night... his birthday is next day, and I really want to spend it with him-
- Of course Alex, I'll let the nurses know-
- Thanks!-
I'm so excited. It will be the first night we spend together for a year.
I lie in bed now wishing for next day to start already.
I close my eyes, and fall asleep

HARRY'S POV:
- I'm on my way to the hospital mum, have you guys arrived yet ?- I ask her.
- Yes sweetheart, but we'll see her tomorrow-
- Okay- I say my goodbyes, and enter the hospital.
We go again to the waiting room, to wait for her.
- Hi baby- I hear her voice behind me.
I turn around, and I see her smiling.
I lift her in the air, and she screams of laughter.
I kiss her lips, and I hold her tight.
- I missed you too- she says. - Listen, I asked for permission to Peterson, and he said yes, so... tomorrow's your birthday, and I thought, if you want to, you can stay here for the night-
- Really ?- I ask.
She nods and smiles nervously.
- I can't wait to eat hospital food!- I laugh. - Of course I'll stay baby- I kiss her again.
We enter therapy, and it goes pretty much as it has been. It goes by pretty fast.
it's 9pm, and she has told me before that she goes to sleep very very early.
- I'm going to sleep Harry, is that okay?- she asks.
- Of course it is baby- I smile.
I watch her slowly fall asleep.
And I do the same.

Alex's pov:
I slowly get out of bed, trying not to wake him up. I head to my bag, and put out the album I made with Peterson. With all the pictures that Harry and I have taken.
I slowly walk back to bed.
- Happy birthday- I kiss him.
- Mmmm- he turns around.
I get it, it's 8am, and he usually wakes up around 11.
- Come on-i kiss him again. I now kiss him on his cheek, then on his neck
- Okay... good morning- he says with a sleepy voice.

- Happy birthday- I hand him the album.
- Is this for me ?- he smiles.
I nod.
He opens the album, and he starts going through the pictures.
- Al...- he says.
- I know it's not much, but once I'm out we'll celebrate and I'll get you som...-
- Al!- he screams. I look at him. His eyes are watered, and he's smiling. - It's perfect- he whispers.
I smile, happy that he liked it.
- Now, you gotta get dressed... we have visitors today-
- Who ?-
- My family... and yours. We decided to meet here to celebrate my birthday, and to be with you-
- Really ?-
- Yes, and my mom made the best pancakes in the entire universe- he stops. - You eat, only if you want to, okay ?-
- If you say that those are the best, I'll have to try them !- I laugh.
- Of course- he kisses me.
- Happy birthday to you!- I start hearing.
I turn around and see both of our families singing. Her mum is holding a pile of pancakes with a candle in the middle.
- Happy birthday dear Harry! Happy birthday to you !-
we laugh.
We say hi to everyone. We catch up. We laugh.
I took a nutella pancake and eat it all.
- I'm going to the bathroom real quick- I tell him.

Harry's pov:
- I'm going to the bathroom real quick- she says.
I know that she ate, so I know what she's going to do.
I lost her at my sight. I run to the hospital bathroom.
- Al! Where are you ?!- I feel my heart aching.
- You came- I hear her.
- You're... you're okay- I breathe in relieve.
- I am... I am okay, I know you thought I was going to do that, but I'm okay now-
I kiss her. I kiss her passionately.
She walks back and we hit the wall of the bathroom cubicle.
- Ow- she laughs.
She takes my shirt off.
* play do I wanna know by the Artic Monkeys*
- What are you doing Al?- I ask her.
- Shh- she kisses me again. Pulling down my pants.
She pulls up her oversize dress.
- I want you... Here – she says.
- What are you doing to me baby... you drive me crazy- I whisper in desire.
I grab her legs, and place her against the wall, with her legs around my waist.
I slowly place myself inside her.
She arches her back, and harshly grabs my hair.
She looks me in the eyes, and smile. But it's not her regular smile, it's the same smile that she gave me in the lake, the night that she gave me a... whatever.
- Al...- I whisper. My breath is shaken up. My heart beats fast.
- I know- she whispers.
She arches her back from time to time, which drives me crazier.
- Shit Harry... fuck- she moans.
- Al baby... I'm gonna...- I take a deep breath.
She kisses my lips, and she bits the bottom lips, making it hard to hold on.
- I love you- I whisper against her lips, as the climax takes over both of us.
our breaths are still shaken up.
we both laugh about this situation. i never thought i'd be having sex in a hospital...
I slowly place her down, and her legs shake for a short moment.
I laugh about it.
- Too weak now?-
- Oh shut up- she laughs.
she looks down, and laughs.
-need help with that?- she asks.
i look down as well. and i laugh
-let me help- she smirks.
she kneels down. just like she did the other time.
-wait what?-
she looks at me smiling.
she places me in her mouth, and starts playing with her tongue.
-shit Al...I- i cover my mouth with on hand, and i grab her hair with the other.
she smiles, while looking to me in the eyes.
she now adds both of her hands around, moving them faster and faster every time.
-oh my g... Fuck- i moan. i can barely speak as i feel it coming.
-i'm...- i scream, and then cover my mouth again.
-get up- i tell her.
-what?-
-get up-
she quickly gets up.
i sit on the toilet, and place her on top of me.
she starts moving her hips, faster and faster.
i kiss her neck, leaving red marks on it.
i fell her scratching my back with her nails.
-harr...- she screams.
we don't care about being heard anymore.
i kiss her brutally. i bite her bottom lip again, and she moans.
-i'm close...- she whispers
-me too baby-
she moves her hips faster, and we both come... again.
we hear someone coming.
she quickly wipes her mouth, and dresses up, and so do i.
no one entered, but we decided it was best if we came back now.
-Sorry i couldn't help with that- she says. her tone is playful, which means it's not over.
We look in the mirror. we're both sweating, our faces are red.
- We should probably wash a little- she says.
- Don't want them to know you just had sex princess?-
- Harry !- she screams.
We both clean up a little, and head back to the room.
- Where have you guys been ?- my mom ask.
- We went to a walk- she says.
- Come on, lets take a picture- Her mom screams.
She places the phone on the window, and puts the timer.
I stand next to Alex, with my hand on her waist. I hold her closer to me. God, I love her.
- Smile everyone!-
the picture is taken. And we sit on her bed now.
- You know Al... you never told me you had a dark side- I smirk.
- You didn't either- she smirks back. She stands up and help the family clean up everything.
I laugh about her comment. She knows me, she knows all of me, but she's right. I never told her either.
