Everything You're Not (Harry Styles Love Story)

Chapter Thirty-Two - The Reason I Hold On

I heard muffled voices. It was hard for me to hear everything around me. I opened my eyes wide and then quickly closed it as I realized that there was an amazingly bright light above me. Then I heard the voices talk some more. I felt pressure on my head as the headche that I had grew more intense. I sighed, wanting everyone else around me to shut up. I opened my eyes, more cautiously this time and sat up a lttle too quickly. I put my hand to my head as my dizziness made me sick. I felt something semi-hard press against my skin. I looked down at my arm and saw a tube pressed against my skin. It was connected to a needle that was strapped down to my arm by a needle. I looked down at myself. I was in a white and blue hospital gown. I looked up at the people staring at me. It was Harry, Louis, and Zayn. I blinked multiple times. 

"What am I doing here?" I asked, confused. I mean, remembered everything, but I didn't exactly know where I was. I mean, I kind of did, but still... 

Harry moved to the side of my bed (bed?) quickly. "Are you okay?" he asked with a sense of urgency in his voice.

I blinked a little more, becomming more aware of my surroundings. I took in the room's features. It's cream walls looked almost perfectly painted and fit perfectly with the white door. There were hardly any bright or colorful features which I was extremely thankful for. I scratched my head a little. "What happened?" I asked, still confused. 

"W-well, I mean. I don't know. We were so happy. Louis said that you looked at him, and then you fainted..." Harry trailed off.

I looked toward Louis, trying to recall what happened. Oh my gosh. He was right. I remember. I looked at Louis and I just felt so empty. Everyone around me was so happy, and I guess at some point I was too, but looking at Louis snapped me out of that. Louis just looked so alone. He looked so sad, and it killed me. I felt like I was watching him die. I felt like Louis was dying right before my eyes, and I couldn't do anything about it. Then I just fainted. I nodded my head, remembering. "And then what?" I asked.

"Well, you didn't fall that hard. I mean, you didn't exactly fall. Louis caught you, and I'm extremely grateful for that," Harry said as he smiled at Louis. 

I smiled. "Thank you, Louis."

Louis put his hand up. "Anytime. Hey, um, I should go tell the nurse that you're up."

"I'll go with you," Zayn chimed in, and they left.

I sighed once the door shut, and they were out of the room. "Harry, I'm sorry. This day was supposed to be about you, and I had to go and-"

He cut me off. "Dri, calm down. I'm just really glad that you're here, and I'm here with you."

I smiled. "Now, tell me what you did on you're alone time."

Harry rolled his eyes and groaned. "Exaclty what it sounds like. I was alone. It was terrible, but now it's better," he said with a smile.

I immediately tapped the sides of the bed, feeling around and looking around as well. "Where's Darcy?" I demanded.

"It's okay. She's at home with Niall and them, wherever home is."

I laughed a little. "Oh yeah, I forgot that you haven't been there yet. Sorry."

He chuckled. "It's okay."

The door opened slightly and a nurse came in, followed by Louis and Zayn. She smiled at me. "Hello. I'm Joyce, and I'll be you're nurse tonight."

"Tonight? As in, I'm not going home?"

The nurse made a slight movement of her head. "Well, yes. I mean, we still have to get your test results."
