As You Are // H.S

Twenty Eight.

Harry Styles.

(I know nothing about hospitals, bare with me)

I woke up cold, in a white room with bright lights, the minute I opened my eyes I clamped them shut again. Too bright. It wasn't helping the pounding in my head either. I knew I was in the hospital, I didn't exactly know how I got here, though. I quickly remembered prior events and my eyes shot open again.

"Alexis." I groaned quietly, I just wanted to see her. I turned my head and saw Niall, he had a weak smile on his face.

"Glad to see you, mate." He whispered, his voice hoarse.

"Where's Lexi?" I questioned, I didn't give a crap about my condition, I was fine. She wasn't.

"She's asleep at the moment, she's just a few doors down." Niall told me.

"Can you tell me what happened, please?"

"Well, Andrew knocked you out clean, and just after that the police and ambulance showed up, Samantha called them the minute you stormed over to him. He's at the police station, in a cell, until the police hear yours and Alexis' story, then they'll do what they do and set a date for court, I guess." He started, giving me a moment to take it all in before continuing.

"Anyway, once they showed up the police got him because he was over your unconscious body, and we told them what had happened so they took Alexis and you in the ambulance and brought you here. That was at least 14 hours ago, it's two in the afternoon." He finished.

I was shocked at how long it had been, it all happened so fast, I hope Alexis was okay, she wasn't in the best condition when I had found her. I stared at Niall to tell me more, hoping he'd tell me about Alexis.

"Uh, they hooked you up to IVs for fluids and such, I don't know much about that," he said gesturing towards the IVs connected to me, "and Alexis, well Andrew forced fed her a heap of medications, that made her really weak, so they had to get those flushed out of her system before they could get her on anything, otherwise it would've caused overdose.. They found numerous cuts and bruises over her body.. She's okay, they uh-" he paused for a moment, and I was getting impatient.

"What else, Niall?" I said through gritted teeth.

"They haven't done a rape kit or anything.. Because she's just been really out of it and asleep for half of the time.. They haven't been able to talk to her about it yet." I screwed my eyes shut and clenched my fists by my sides, wincing in pain because they were busted up.

I let put a breath of air, calming myself down, I couldn't be angry now, I had to stay calm.

"Can I see her?" I whispered, Niall nodded and pushed the nurse button and one came rushing in.

"Harry! You're awake. I'm Mandy, your nurse." She introduced herself, and she was quite a happy person, it made me feel a little better in this shitty situation.

"Can I see my girlfriend?" I asked, for what felt like the hundredth time today.

"Yes, sweetie, let me just check your fluids." I nodded weakly, and she went about her way, checking everything before standing me up.

"You can walk with this," she gestured to the object holding all the fluids, "and I'm sure your friend knows where your girlfriend is, room 419, just a few doors to your left." I thanked her, and followed Niall out of the room, when we got to the door of Alexis' room I stopped and took a few deep breaths before opening it and walking in. She was laying on her side, facing away from me, sleeping I assumed. Niall stayed in the hallway, and the door closed behind me with a small click causing Alexis to groan, turn over and sit up, rubbing her eyes before she even saw me.
