Chapter Five

POV Harry

"And then I felt asleep on his lap!" I explained to Niall on the phone.

I'm on the bus now after the whole situation with Louis in his office.

I have suffered from nightmares for years, there were gone when I lived in Bali but they came back after the death of mom and Tess.

The nightmares are always about Roman. How he hit me when I didn't behave well enough according to him.

I've never been enough.

Negative thoughts running through my head. That stops when I hear Niall's voice on the phone. "Harry, are you still there?"

"Yes, I'm sorry I was distracted I'm still here." I responded.

And I continue with my story. "He almost forced me to sleep Niall. I was really exhausted to be honest, but I didn't expect him to notice."

"What happened when you woke up?" Niall asked curiously.

"When I woke up at the end of the day, he was on his phone and with the other hand still running through my hair." I say while I thought back to the feeling, a heat going through my body. It felt so good.

"You were right about the hands of a surgeon they can do good things." I joked.

"I know, I'm always right." Niall says firmly but with a hint of humor.

"But after my nap, I felt uncomfortable. I wanted to leave as soon as possible." I say.

"Why is that?" Niall asks.

I started explaining. "I was ashamed, Niall. I mean think about it, it was my first real workday and then I slept all day with my head on my supervisor's lap." I say embarrassingly.

Niall started laughing out loud. "Yeah, when you say it like that it's kind of crazy." Niall was silent for a second before asking. "But did you sleep well? I mean did you had nightmares."

I'm quiet for a while. I suddenly realize I didn't have a nightmare. After eight months of having nightmares every night, and I didn't have them with Louis.

I call it coincidence.

"No I didn't have them today." I answer Niall.

I looked out of the window of the bus and realized that I had arrived at my destination.

"I'm gonna hang up, I'll see you later tonight okay?" I say on the phone.

"Yeah sure, be careful. Love you." Niall says.

🩺

"1367" I type in and the doors of the retirement home opens. I decided to go see Annie after my 'work' day.

I got to know Annie when I worked here as a nurse. Off all the clients I have cared for, she was my favorite.

I've build a strong bond with her over the month's I've worked here. She was the only reason I regretted quitting my part-time job. But I couldn't stay here working next to my study in the hospital.

So I decided to just visit Annie every now and then. Because she comes close to the feeling of having a family.

And I miss my family.

When I enter Annie's room I see her sitting on her old chair. She doesn't realize I'm here because she's knitting.

"Hey Annie." I say when I walk towards her.

Her eyes light up when she sees me. "Harry, darling I've missed you! Give me a hug." She says happy as she stands up to put her arms around me.

I give her a hug back, her hugs remind me of my mother.
