The Devine Twins

Chapter 32- Alcatraz

~Rosie~

The second time waking up in a hospital bed isn’t any better than the first. I woke up to a nurse by the left side of my bed. The couch that had previously been at the bottom of my bed had been shifted to the right side of my bed, it still held Josh and Harry, Josh was asleep leaning on Harry’s shoulder, Harry had ahold of my hand and was drawing circles on the back of it with his finger.

Louis and Liam had been replaced with Nate and Zayn in the two plastic chairs.

“Hello sweetie, how are you feeling?” The nurse asked as my eyes scanned the room.

I saw Harry’s head jerk up from my hand, he looked tired.

“Okay” I choked.

My throat burnt, just speaking that single word had made me want to cry.

“Careful, you might not want to talk too much, you have severe scarring in your throat” The nurse cautioned, “I’ll go get the doctor to come and talk to you”

Harry kissed my hand after the nurse left the room.

“I’m so glad you’re okay” He smiled sleepily, “The doctor told us you could come home after you woke up”

I gave him a small smile. I was glad to be leaving this blindingly white room, even though I hadn’t been awake for much of the time I’d been in here.

“I’m so sorry Rose, I didn’t mean for that to happen.” Harry apologized intensely.

“Not your fault” I whispered, my throat felt as if someone had sliced it with razors, but I needed to reassure Harry it wasn’t his fault.

The door creaked open and in walked a young looking doctor, not much older than myself.

I saw Harry shake Josh awake from the corner of my eye so he could hear what the doctor had to say.

“Rosalie Devine, my name is Dr. Mott, I have been monitoring you since you arrived two days ago” He stated.

I nodded toward him, not wanting to speak.

“Now I’m not sure if you’ve been informed of anything but I’ll tell you just in case you haven’t. Now firstly Rosalie, have you been known to have asthma?”

Before I could even compute what Dr. Mott had said someone answered his question for me.

“She had asthma as a child but we had been told she had grown out of it quite some time ago” Josh spoke.

“Well turns out whoever told you that was wrong, for the reason you are here is because you had a severe asthma attack.” Dr. Mott stated, “We ran some tests and determined that asthma was the sole cause of your fit Miss Devine and that you just need to rest and take it easy, you must also invest in an asthma puffer. You are free to go as you please”

With that the man left and Josh looked at me with concerned eyes.

“Let’s go then?” He questioned.

I nodded and went to push myself off of the bed however before I could, Harry had ahold of me and was assisting me.

Once I was ready to go I had a crowd around me basically escorting me out. Harry held tightly onto my right hand, Louis had my other hand in his. Joshua, Zayn and Liam headed up the front whilst Cal and Nate trailed along behind us.

For two weeks now, I have been followed everywhere. Monitored as if I were a criminal in a high security prison, so basically, my house had become Alcatraz.

Even Ben and Jazzy were in on it, because every time I made an escape to the store, I was tricked into answering a phone call from Jazzy which ultimately ended in my return to the house as they tracked the call.

I have been going to Uni with the accompaniment of Nate and Cal whom take me to each of my lectures and find me after them. I’m hating Uni, it’s not something I want to do. I want to play in the band.

 “Rose, you okay?” Harry asked as he sat beside me on my bed.

“Yeah I’m fine” I answered.

“I’m not girl expert but last time I checked fine didn’t mean fine” He replied.

“I just feel like you guys need to tone down the protectiveness. I understand that you want to make sure I’m okay but its been weeks and I want everything to go back to normal. You aren’t even playful Harry with me anymore” I frowned

“I’m sorry, we’re just worried about you Rose. I don’t want to hurt you and we want to make sure that you stay healthy”

“Well can you stop? I am hating every second of it” I hissed

Harry’s expression suddenly became hurt, he obviously wasn’t used to this side of me.

“Just go” I said calmly this time, I needed some space.

“Rose, just know I’ll talk to them, it might not stop but it’ll become less” Harry reassured me sweetly.

I can’t believe he’s still so lovely when I am such a bitch to him.

Hey Guys,

I’m super sorry about the super long amount of time between updates and for this super short, filler chapter.

It’s been a while and I’m really hoping to get back into a schedule with maybe a chapter every fortnight, but as I have figured out life doesn’t always go to plan so we’ll just have to see.

Thank you to all of you who are sticking by me even when I update every few months, I really want to update more frequently just for you guys because your endless support is what is keeping me writing.

Thanks for reading

Ellie xx
