Falling for your best friend

-Confessions-

Bri's POV:

I wake up before the sun even rises. I haven't been able to sleep because of the condition Harry is in right now. It's been a whole week since the crash, and it's been so hard. The day after it happened, his parents got to the hospital. We've all been worry sick, but even his parents have been trying to comfort me.

I don't know what do with myself. All I do is eat, take meds, go and see him occasionally, and try to sleep. Every time I fall asleep, I get nightmares about him. I finally feel like I've hit rock bottom.

Every time I go to see Harry, either the doctors or Elizabeth update me on his condition. I went to see him today, hoping to have some good news even though I hope for that every day. I am finally starting to walk again and get a bit of my strength back, so with Elizabeth aiding me, I got to walk to Harry's room today. I sit down in the chair I've sat in at least once a day for more than a week. His main doctor, Holly Bondurant, comes into the room with a smile on her face. I get excited for a minute thinking Harry woke up, but then my consciousness tells me Come on Bri, seriously? Your'e sitting next to him right now, and he is not awake.

"Hello Bri. How has your day been so far?" She asks me in her naturally soothing but strict voice.

"Eh. The usual. Have you guys found out anything else about Harry?" I ask her this almost every day, but she always says no.

"Actually, we have found something out." My heart skips a beat, but I let her continue, "Earlier we were running some brain tests on Harry, and we detected a slight change in his brain waves. This could mean that if it keeps going in the direction we are all hoping for, Harry could wake up soon."

As she said that last sentence, I wanted to jump out of my chair and start doing a victory dance. But I stayed calm and a huge grin spread across my face. We talk for a while as we always do, then her and Elizabeth normally gives me time with Harry alone. I sit there for what only feels like a few minutes, and someone knocks on the door. I say come in, and as I turn around, in walks Isabelle. My mood immediatly changes, and I run up to her and pull her into a bear hug.

"Hey Bri! I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too Isabelle. You have no idea how much happier you just made me. Wait, how did you know I was at a hospital?"

"Your mom and dad told me everything that happened. I'm so sorry B." She says with empathy. Her calling me B made me feel even better but also more sad at the same time because that's was her nickname for me when we were younger. We sit down by Harry's bed, and talk for a while.

I finally tell her that I'm in love with Harry, and she replies with, "Oh about that, I kind of already knew haha. When we're on the phone and you mention him, I could tell you have feelings for him the way you talk about that boy." We start laughing, and it feels like the first time I have been genuinly happy since the crash happened. After a while, she tells me she needs to get to her dorm and start unpacking. I tell her goodbye, and I'm once again alone with Harry.

----------------------------

After probably a few hours of me just sitting by Harry's hospital bed, holding his hand in mine, and shedding a few tears, my parents come in to bring me lunch. I thank them; I've been starting to eat more, because I know Harry wouldn't ever want me to starve myself over him. I started eating, and right as a took my first bite of the cafeteria pizza, I see Harry twitch. At first I think I was going crazy and halluconating, but after another minute he does it again. My heart starts beating 1,000 miles a minute, and I begin screaming for doctor's nurses, anyone really.

Everyone starts coming in, including Doctor Holly, and I tell her what happened. The moniter tracking his brian waves starts beeping, which I'm hoping means something is going good. Nurses and doctors are racing all around the room, checking different moniters and machines. I get really over whelmed, but what happens next almost makes my heart stop.

Harry's eyes slowly open. The doctors must know that I want to be alone when he wakes up, because they all nod to each other and leave the room. I'm assuming they will be back in like 10 minutes, so I need to cherish this time with him before the doctor's bombard him. When he starts blinking and moving, I burst into sobs.

"Bri, are you okay? Wha- what happened?" He asks, clearly confused. I filled him in the best I could while still sobbing. He looks shocked, but anyone would. After that the doctors come in, but not for as long as I expected. Both of our parents came in too. The doctor's explained what happened again to him, but more in-depth. They ran a quick few tests, but then left.

I let his parents be with him for a while, but when they left the room I went back in there. Harry looked less freaked out. I was still crying, but not as much. I went and sat down in a chair next to his bed. We talked for a while, and then I realized I still had to tell him what I wanted to in the first place. "Hey Hazza, do you remember why we went in the car ride before the crash?"

"Erm... yeah. I think it was because you wanted to tell me something and I also wanted to tell you something."

"Okay, well mine is big, so you should go first."

"Mine is important and big, so you need to go first."

"Fine, let's just say it at the same time."

He agrees, and I take a deep breath.

"1.... 2...... 3"

"I'm in love with you." We say in perfect unison.

WAIT WHAT?

Yayyyyyy!!!!!! I'm so happy they finally told each other! Sorry I've been inactive, I have been really busy with loads of stuff, but I am back. This book is almost over!😭 I might write another one, but I'm gonna take a bit of a break after I'm done with this one. I hope everyone has a good day or night! Love y'all!
