Why Me?

Chapter Thirteen

Harry's POV

*2 and a half months later*

I wake up in the morning on the hard plastic chair in Addy's room. I look at her peaceful body and see her nose twitching lightly. I grab her hand and feel a soft squeeze. I look at her face to see her eyes slowly opening.

"Doctor Michelle!" I call the doctor.

The doctor walks in and gasps in surprise. She closes her eyes tightly and opens them to make sure that this is being seen correctly. She walks over to Addy and takes her blood pressure, also telling her that she has encephalitis, which makes her wide eyes go even wider. I stifle a laugh as her chin smashes against the ground. I love her for her silliness, beauty, flaws, everything. I stick my hand in my sweatshirt pocket and feel the small leather box. The doctor leaves, so I stand from my seat and step toward her making her smile. I take the box out of my pocket and fall onto one knee. I see her mouth drop open, her eyes staring into mine. 

"Adelaide, I know I haven't known you for long, but it has been long enough. I have loved you since I met you when you were with Joseph. I hated him for having you, but I let it be because you looked so happy. When I heard that the two of you broke up, I fist pumped and was hoping to see you again, well just not the way I did. When we were forced to put on a show, I honestly enjoyed it...a lot. I love you Adelaide Rose Miller. Will you marry me?" I propose.

"Yes! YES!" her eyes glisten with tears.

I lean in and kiss her lightly, "We can go home tomorrow. Guess what!" 

"Hmm?"

"They eliminated the cancer completely!"

 Instead of responding with words, she gets out of bed and hugs me. I hug her back tightly. I can't believe she actually said yes so soon, but I'm glad she did. I want her ti be happy  and free. Free from harm, pain, Louis, every single thing, whether it's tiny or huge. She deserves to be dauntless. I know she has been hurt very much in her past, but I will end that now. I made a commitment to keep her safe, to protect her, to keep her far from harms way. I will follow through with my commitment.

"Whachya thinkin' about?" she breaks me from my thoughts. 

"Oh...uh...nothing?" I try to lie smoothly, but instead it sounds more like a question.

"C'mon! Tell me! Please?" she begs me for the first time. 

"Fine," I sigh before carrying on, "I was thinking about having to keep you out of harms way. And how I have to keep you safe and protected because now I am making a commitment. Also how I need to keep you happy and pain free."

"Aw! That's so cute! But we both know how stubborn we both are." she points out.

"Good point," I pause for a moment, "so, how was sleeping for two and a half months?"

"It wa- wait...TWO AND A HALF MONTHS?" 

"Yeah, how long did you think it was?"

"A few days, speaking that my limbs were all stiff."

"Well, you should rethink that once more."

We talk a bit while watching T.V. We hear a light jiggle of the door knob; the door creeps open slowly revealing her nurse. The nurse places the plastic flavored food on the side table and scurries out of the room. Addy passes the plate to me, so I take it and throw it into disposal bin. I walk out of the room, go onto the elevator, buy us both a hamburger with fries, a soda for me and an apple juice for her. I walk back upstairs and see her watching 16 and Pregnant. 

Adelaide's POV

Harry stumbles into the room with a crashing sound, which made me jump. I look up at him with one of those ARE YOU KIDDING ME? looks. He sets down my juice, hamburger, and fries, making my heart water. I dig in once he sits down in his seat. He giggles at my sloppy appetite, causing me to glare at him. I go back to watching 16 and Pregnant on TLC. Minutes later, I feel around my tray looking for some fries. I look down to see my tray clean, as if there was nothing on it in the first place. I look at Harry and ask for his fries since he isn't eating them. He hands them to me. I practically inhale them. I take a peek at the clock to see that it is 8 o'clock in the evening. I can't believe it has been almost three months since I have last kissed Harry. I lean over to him and kiss him with passion. He immediately responds, putting his hands on the small of my back. Now, the love that I have for him feels ten times stronger. I can't believe how quickly this relationship has escalated. All of the pain and suffering that led up to this was all worth it. I love Harry.

"I love you." I say, pulling away slightly.

"I love you too." he responds.

"Don't say "too" with it. It makes me feel as if you are just agreeing with me."

"Oh okay."

I smile at him, with a little wink. I mentally have a dance party because I get to go home tomorrow. Partay! P-P-P-Partay! Please don't think I'm going insane. We both know that I'm not. I'm sure many people think I should be in a mental ward of some sort, but sucks to be them, because I'm not. HEHEHHE! Okay maybe I am going a little insane. I love my insanity! Like who doesn't? In my opinion, we are all insane in different ways. I won't get rid of my insanity. NEVER! I can't lose all of my sanity for this crap. HELP ME! I NEED TO LIKE FIGURE OUT MYSELF. Haha, that sounded funny.
