The Bad Boy

Chapter 115

Stephanie's P.O.V.

    It's hard to walk away from Harry, but we'll have more time tonight... I like seing the power I hold over him. It's like he's eating from the palm of my hand when I get him like that.

    I sit in the car alone for a few minutes before Harry joins me. "So, where to?"

    "Mmmmm." I say, thinking. "How about Arbys?"

    "Okay." Harry says.

    "I'm worried about these tests. Do you think they're going to hurt her?" I ask, wringing my hands together nervously. "I mean, she's already in so much pain, I don't think dhe can handle much more...."

    Harry interupts me. "I think she'll be fine because she always is." He places one of his hands over my figiting ones. "And you worrying and stressing out over it isn't doing any good, so quit."

    I sigh. "I can't just not worry. She's my best friend, and it sucks to see her hurting like this.... and not knowing what's wrong. What if it's something serious? What if she has cancer?"

    "What is the world drops out of orbit?" Harry asks. "There's a lot of what if's, and worrying over them isn't going to do any good."

    I sigh again and we drive the rest of the way in silence.  "Should I call Niall and ask if they want something?"

    "Might as well." Harry says.

    I diall Niall's number and he answers on the last ring. "Hello?"

    He sounds like he just woke up. "Hey, we're at Arbys and I was wondering inf any of you wanted anything?"

    "I'll ask." He holds the phone away from his mouth and says something. I hear two girls voices resond. "Ash and I want to classics and two sweet teas, and Ally wants an order of fries."

    I hear Ally scream "FRIES" in the background and I laugh.

    "Okay, we'll be ther in like twelve minutes." I say and hang up the phone as we pull up to the order window.

    I tell Harry the orders and he says them into the box. We pick them up at the window and then drive to the hospital.

    "Can I try you milkshake?" I ask Harry. He got something called orange chocolate dream and I'm curious.

    "Anytime." He winks, eyes smoldering.

    "GROSS!" I yelp, cheeks flushing. "That is so not what I meant. Let me rephrase, can I pleasr try the drink you ordered from Arbys?"

    "Kiss me first." He says.

    I lean over and peck him on the cheek quickly, before swiping his milkshake. One sip is enough for me, it tastes disgusting.

    Harry groans. "You're killing me."

    "Good thing we're at a hospital then." I say, grabbing the food and hopping out of the car.

After the nurse leaves, Niall crawls up on one side of Ally and I perch on the other, partially facing the couch where Ash and Harry are seated.

"Can someone turn off the lights?" Ally asks, curling into a ball on her side and shivering. Niall pulls the covers over her, but she continues to shake.

"I'll go find some blankets." Ash says, standing up and walking to the door.

"I'll come with you." I say and rush to follow her. I want to talk with her, alone.
