Tom's Girl

•17•

It was the next morning and Hannah and Tom were already off at work. I woke up on the couch alone around 9. I sat up and immediately felt dizzy so I slapped my hand over my eyes to block out the light. I flopped back down on the couch and covered my face with a blanket.

"You ok mate?" I heard a voice say from the kitchen.

"mhm." I mumble.

"What do you want for breakfast?" he asks.

"mmm. I'm not really hungry."

"You sure?"

"Yep." I say. I stand up still feeling a little dizzy but I head over to the kitchen to get some water.

"Are you ok? You look a little pale." Harrison says.

"I'm fine." I pull out a glass from the cupboard and head to the faucet.

"Oh actually, Tom told me to tell you that he got some filtered water for you this morning." he says. I raise my eyebrow in confusion and he opens the fridge and pulls out a pitcher of cold water mixed with some lemons. A smile slowly grows on my face as I take the pitcher from Harrison.

"Thanks." I say.

"It's all Tom." he responds as I poor myself a glass. I drink the glass and head upstairs to my bedroom. I have start my filming tomorrow so I knew I needed to chillax today. I changed into some shorts cause I was kind of hot, and I crawl into bed. I pull the blanket over me and get comfortable, it wouldn't be hard to sleep today considering how weak and dizzy I felt anyway. After a short couple of minutes I easily fell back asleep.

I woke back up to knocking at my door and I slowly roll over as the sun shines into my eyes. The door slowly opens and Harry walks in.

"Hey, you aren't up yet?" Harry asks me. I roll back over, rubbing my eyes.

"nope." I say as I hide my face back under my blanket since it's so bright.

"It's almost 1pm." he says. "Are you going to stay in bed all day?"

"Can I?"

"I mean, be my guest. But we're going out to lunch. Do you want to come with?"

"No." I mumble.

"Are you ok?" He asks me as he sits on the edge of my bed.

"Yea. I'm fine, just tired."

"Alright... Well if you want us to bring something home for you just text us." He says.

"mk." He gets up and walks out, slowly closing the door behind him. I roll back over to fall asleep, but it's hard considering I have a pounding headache. I lay there in my silent room for about another hour before I finally fell back asleep.

I wake up once again to a knock at the door, this time I don't roll over, I just let the door open.

"Hey, it's Hannah." Hannah says.

"Hey." I mumble.

"Aren't you going to get up today? It's almost 6pm." Hannah says.

"I am up, just not out of bed." I say.

"Well we're having a game night if you want to join us?"

"I'm good." I say. She stands there for a couple of seconds in silence until she walks out, closing the door behind her.

I try to go back to sleep because I wasn't feeling good, but I couldn't. My head hurt, I felt weak, and dizzy. So I just laid there, thinking for a while. Maybe I should just eat something. It's not like one meal could make me 20 pounds heavier. But I just had one more day until filming. Well not anymore, I sort of wasted my whole day in bed. I sit up, almost deciding to go get something to eat, but I just can't. I flop back down and roll over to my side, glaring out the window.

Around 9pm my door slowly opens, I close my eyes trying to pretend to be asleep. I feel someone crawl onto my bed and then a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you ok luv?" A voice asks, I immediately recognize it as Tom's. I roll over to see him holding a glass of water with a lemon on the rim of it. I sit up and give him a soft smile. "What's going on?" he asks me.

"Nothing. I was just trying to relax." I say.

"For a whole day?"

"Maybe..."

"How about you come down and chill with us for a little bit." Tom suggests.

"I'm good, I've had a headache pretty much all day." I say. Tom presses the back of his hand up against my forehead for a few seconds.

"You don't feel warm darling." He says. I roll back over, wrapping the blanket around me. I hear Tom set the glass of water on the table beside my bed and he walks out. I thought he just gave up on me and went downstairs but then I hear him walk back in. He climbs back onto my bed and I roll back over. "Can you take this Tylenol for me?" he asks in a soft sweet voice.

"mhm" I say as I slightly sit up. He grabs the water off the bedside table and hands me it along with two pills. I take a drink of water and and swallow both the pills and look back over at Tom.

"It'll help if you also finish off that glass." He claims. I nod my head and slowly drink the rest of the water he had brought me. "I'll go fill this up for you and then I'll be out of your hair." He says, gently grabbing the glass from my hands. He disappears for a few minutes and then walks back in with another glass of water, setting it on the bedside table closest to me. He runs his fingers through my hair and gives me a soft kiss on the forehead and walks out, turning off the lights and slowly shutting the door behind him. I gotta admit, Tom was growing on me. He was a nice friend to have around.
