Chapter Nine

POV Harry

"Do you have a lot of sex?" Patient Dickson asks me curiously.

"Jacob!" Mrs Dickson speaks to him before I could say anything. "For the umpteenth time Jacob, you can't ask such things to people." She says irritated.

I look at the patient while I am measuring his blood pressure. "It's okay." I say kindly.

"I just want to hear some exciting stories from a young man. When you get to my age and the people around you too, they only tell you stories about their vegetable garden or the bargains in the supermarkt." Mr Dickson explains while he sighs. "I know I'm seventy three but I want to be young again like you." He says sadly.

He is quiet for a moment but then brightens up again and starts speaking in a happy voice. "I understand you don't want to talk about your wild sex life but did you ever used drugs?" I look at him with wide eyes before he goes on. "I did it a lot, as you might know I was a adventurous man so a line of cocaine went in from time to time." He says proudly while Mrs. Dickson is shaking her head.

I laugh at his behavior but I wasn't going to tell him I've been addicted to that shit for months. It was a dark time for me and thinking about it makes me sad and the fact that I acted like Roman brings a lot of shame.

But before I can respond, Niall walks into the room.

"A very good afternoon, lady and gentlemen." He says charming.

If you don't mind, could I borrow doctor Styles for a minute?" He asks family Dickson.

"Of course, my husband needs to sleep now anyways. Thanks doctor Styles for checking on my husband." She says thankful.

"Yes, thanks doc.". Mr Dickson says.

"No problem, If something is wrong or you need anything please press the red button and I'll be there." I answer seriously.

They both nod and smiles at me friendly, I close the door and look surprised at Niall.

"Uhm why do you need me?" I ask him doubtful if he doesn't start talking himself.

"It's lunchtime." Niall says simply.

I look at him in amazement. "So you're taking me away from the patient to eat?" I ask him in disbelief.

"Yes. Well come on I'm hungry I'm about to die." He says dramatically.

I look around me to make sure no one heard us. "Niall where in a hospital were people are seriously dying, you can't just say stuff like that." I say seriously.

Niall looks at me but is not impressed.

But I give in and say. "Okay, let's go."

Niall looks extremely happy as we walk to the Macdonald next to the hospital.

"I just don't understand that we couldn't eat in the hospital restaurant." I say a little stressed.

Niall eating a bite of his burger looks up and says. "Relax Harry, we are next to the hospital they don't even realize we're having lunch." He says chill but he sees on my face that I'm not relax for a bit.

"And if there really is something they just page us and we'll be in the hospital in no time." Niall says as he tries to make me relax.

And it does work because the idea that we will be back in no time when something is going on gives me peace of mind.

I just nod and begin to eat my burger and to be honest it's way better than the food of the hospital.

"And by the way, Louis and Zayn had a lunchbreak two hours ago so we deserved to eat." Niall says firmly.
