The Bad Boy

Chapter 127

Harry's P.O.V.

Busted knuckles and I need to be hospitalized. I broke my index finger and never went to the doctor, but somehow, with nothing more than busted knuckles, I'm stuck waiting in a room in the ER. I was in Ally's room when a nurse comes in to check on her and she sees my bandaged hand and before I can protest she's undoing my poor wrap job and examining my hand like it's some sort of science project. 

Ashton and Gemma are in the other room with Ally, so thankfully I'm left alone, staring at the blank white walls. I can't believe Steph is being so selfish. Her best friend is in the hospital, pergnant and with a pregnancy disease, and she is in New York. I don't understand how Ally puts up with it without getting mad. I walked in to her room this morning and told her Steph left for New York and she just said 'I know, she called me this morning'. I didn't say anything else about it to Ally because I knew I'd end up getting some kind of rant about how I'm the one in the wrong, when it's clearly Stephanie.

There's a knock at the door, interupting my thought process. Gemma pokes her head in.

"Hey, can I come in?" She asks.

"Is Ashton with you?" I ask.

"No, actaully. He just left to go home, as in other continent home, for work." Gemma says. "With al that's happened I decided to stay a little longer."

"Then yes." I answer. "But you don't have to stay, I'm fine."

"Yeah, where's Stephanie then?" Gemma asks.

I haven't told her but from the way she's talking I guess Niall or Ally did. "New York." I mumble.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Gemma asks, cupping a hand  over her ear and coming closer.

"You're not funny and you know what I said." I snap.

"Feisty this morning, aren't we?" Gemma asks. 

"Yeah, because my girlfriend is being incredibly selfish and is in New York, instead of next to me where she should be." I huff, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Stephanie is not being selfish! You are, if anyone! You wanted Stephanie to be a writer, you even encouraged her and now she actaully has the oppurtunity and you're telling her not to do it." Gemma protests. "Stephanie isn't being selfish, from what I know about her she's actaully doing something for herself for once in her life."

"Her best friend is sitting in that room over there, screaming in pain!" I raise my voice.

"Please, you don't care about Ally, you only care about yourself. You're just mad because Stephanie isn't here with you, when you're hurt from doing something stupid. Do you even know how many times she's cleaned blood off your knuckles, and been there for you after fights and every other dumb thing you do when you've had to much to drink?" Gemma asks. "Stephanie is doing this for herself, and she deserves it! I've read some of her stuff and it's amazing, she has the potential to be great, to publish her own books and you're trying to make it seem like she's the bad guy, when in reality it's you because you're holding her back!"

"But I miss her." I whisper.
