Opposites

Chapter 8

*2 weeks after last chapter*

-----------

"Are you ready?" Cat says as she walks into the hospital room as I'm getting ready to leave.

"Yeah, it's been two weeks too long." I say with a laugh. As we walk out to the parking lot of the white hospital I start to think about the past 2 weeks. Cat visited me almost everyday, Britt and Katy visited a few times when they could but since they don't have cars I told them not to worry about the regular visits. Remembering cars, I still have to fetch mine from RMU but I'll worry about that later. Harry visited a few times but I was always asleep, I knew he visited because there was always a note saying 'get better' or 'feel better' on the counter. It's been strange not seeing him for 2 weeks and knowing that he was there.

"Hey! Lex!" Cat yells while waving her hand in front of my face, "We're at your house already, are you okay?" she asks obviously noticing how zoned out I was.

"Yeah, just thinking about the things I have to do." I reply. "Thank you so much for fetching me and visiting me everyday." I say as I lean over and hug my best friend.

"I was paid to do it." she says sarcastically and we laugh.

"Ow, it still hurts to laugh." I say and she laughs harder. I playfully shove her shoulder as I get my bag and walk to the door. "Thanks for doing everything, even though you got paid to do it!" I yell as she drives down the driveway. I open the door to find Alicia standing at the entrance with her arms open wide for a hug. I drop my bag and rush towards her.

"I missed you so much, are you okay?" Alicia says while hugging me tightly. We end up sitting down and talking about everything that happened and she repetitively reminds me that she will destroy Jackson for doing what he did. I head up to my room after about two hours and I wonder if my mom sent anything after hearing I was in the hospital. What a surprise, nothing, maybe she called me? I lost my phone on the night at RMU so I would have to get a new one. I decide to write down a list and go to the main city, which is about 2 hours from Ridgemount. It's 10am now so I should be back at about 4pm. I jog down the stairs, with some parts of my body still hurting, and I grab the keys to my moms Porsche and my bag.

"I'll be back soon I'm just going to Kingston!" I yell in hopes that Alicia will hear me explain I'm going to my favourite mall.

As I drive toward the stop street I spot Harry walking towards me with earphones in. Shit. I don't want him to know about the Porsche. I realise it's too late to drive away quickly when he spots me. He looks surprised but then carries on walking in my direction and almost walks past me.

"Hey, Harry!" I yell out the window and he turns around and walks towards the car. "I was just going to Kingston, do you want to join me?" I say with a smile.

"Listen, just because I did you a favour doesn't mean we are friends." He bitterly spits out while glaring at me and my eyes go wide. "Have fun in Kingston." He says as he walks away. What? I haven't seen him in ages and that is his reaction? Fine, if he doesn't want to be friends, we won't be friends.

I walk into Kings Mall and head straight for the Apple Store to go get a new phone.
"Hi, I'm looking for an iPhone 6 plus in gold with 128GB please." I say to the brunette working at the counter.

"Sure." He says and looks up. Oh my god.

"Louis?" I question in shock.

"I swear if you tell anyone about me working here I will ruin you and your messed up hair." He threatens. Wow, seems like this group of friends are all no lovely. "Well the hair I don't need to do much to since it's already ruined." He says with a smirk.
