Dominant 2 (Harry Styles)

Chapter 14

Allison's P.O.V

"Ali, hey, wake up."

I open my eyes and the light from the hospital's waiting room illuminate my vision. My brother is standing in front of me with a bottle of Mountain Dew in one hand, and a cup of coffee in the other.

"They had Pepsi too, but I figured you'd like this one more." He tells me as I grab the cold beverage out of his hand.

"No yeah, this is fine. Thank you." I say, snapping and untwisting the cap and taking a drink of it, my throat welcomes the cold liquid, "What time is it?"

"8:30ish, somewhere around there." He says, playing with the top of his coffee lid, "He's awake."

My eyes snap towards Andrew and I hop up from my seat, "What the hell, Andrew! Why didn't you say anything sooner? Get up, we have to go see him!"

"They're doing some testing on him, to make sure everything is alright, and then we can see them." He tells me, "You just got in last night, I wasn't going to wake you up since we can't see him. You need your sleep, dad would have done the same thing."

I roll my eyes and sit back down in the chair beside him, "Why are the Carter men so stubborn? Jesus, I would have liked to have been woken up!"

Andrew chuckles quietly, "Yeah well, I would have woken you up if we were able to see him, so instead of just sitting here awake, I let you sleep. You should be thanking me."

"Whatever," I shove my shoulder into his lightly, "Where's Grandpa and Grandma? Did they leave as well?"

"Yeah, a while ago actually, they're coming back this afternoon though, Grandma said she'd bring us some lunch."

"Ah, alright." I say, stretching out my legs, letting out a big yawn.

"Your phone keeps vibrating." He says, taking a sip of his coffee and eyeing me.

My heart flutters and I clear my throat, "Okay?"

"Aren't you gonna look at it?" He asks me, and I shrug my shoulders.

"Maybe. I don't know." I say clipped, my fingers itching to reach inside of my purse.

"Let me guess, you and lover boy had a fight just before you came here right? And you're ignoring him now?" He says, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.

"Don't you have homework to do or something?" I snap at him, "Like your senior project or something?"

"Was it about another girl? Did he cheat on you? Or is it something petty, like him leaving the toilet seat open? Or you leaving your tampons everywhere?" He says, clearly trying to get a rise out of me.

"That's disgusting. And you are annoying." I say, reaching down and grabbing my purse.

There are 3 missed calls from Harry, and 1 missed call from Steph.

"I'll be over there, I have to call Steph back." I tell him, getting up from my seat and making my way out of the lobby.

The walk feels amazing on my legs, and I take long strides as I dial her number and wait for her to answer. Nobody is by the gift shop by the cafeteria, so I lean up against the glass window and stare at the floor.

"How's your dad?" Is the first thing she says when she answers the phone, and it makes me chuckle.

"He was unconscious for a while, a little longer than what the doctors had wanted, but Andrew said he's awake now and that he's doing some sort of tests to make sure he's alright. So, I'm praying he's okay, I mean, he is okay. I just want to be told he's okay, ya know?" I say, leaning my head back against the glass.
