Stay away, but then come back

Chapter 6

Harry's POV

This day started with a drag. It seemed that every second was an hour. I felt terrible. Louis tried to comfort me, but he wasn't even here. But then I ended up coughing and gagging again. Niall was still asleep upside down on the couch. I was so lonely, where was Liam? Louis said he would come over. I coughed and winced clutching my side.

"It hurts to cough," I said into my pillow, groaning at the pain in my throat. I finally picked up my phone and and tapped Louis's face on speen dial. He was number one. I sat on the couch waintig for someone to pick up the phone.

Hello?"

"Seriously do you have caller ID? I said alittle upset.

"Oh Harry, I'm sorry!"

"No, it's fine," I lied. There was a long silence until Louis spoke again, sounding strange.

"What's wrong, is it your cough?'

"No, I was gonna ask when Liam was gonna be here." Pause again, god, he was slow.

"I'll call him. You just rest okay?"

Then he hung up. I glared at my phone and tossed it on the coffee table. Niall opened his eyes at the sound of it hitting the hard surface.

"Harry, you're awake!" he said suprisingly, "do you hurt anywhere?" I looked at my side and then looked back at him.

"It hurts to cough and my throat is really dry," I said, cracking in my voice. Niall got up and came back with some water.

"Here this'll help your dry throat...I think," I snorted and took a sip of the water. I gulped it all down and Niall gasped.

"Careful! You could choke," I shook my head and poked his nose. He scrunched his face and wiped what seemed to be my touch off his face.

He sat back down on the couch beside me and continued to eat the appl ehe had from earlier. I just closed my eyes again.
