Soon, my parents returned and we traveled home in an awkward silence, that I'm sure mum and dad could sense.
As soon as I entered the house, I went straight to my room and collapsed on my bed. I needed to be alone to recollect my thoughts.
Although, I wouldn't possibly be able to be alone after the hospital. Especially, after what happened in the car.
"Knock, knock." I knew that this was coming. I rolled over in bed and saw Charlie standing at the doorway. Before I could speak, he walked in, slamming the door behind him, and sat at the foot of my bed.
"You can't get away from me that easy, Styles." He turned to lean on his left elbow and looked at me.
I draped my arm over my eyes and sighed. "What is it, Charlie?"
Suddenly, he snapped. "Don't 'what is it, Charlie' me. What the fuck was that in the car?" I sat up quickly, leaning back on my hands.
"What the bloody hell do you mean, lad?", I asked, in a defensive tone.
"Oh, you damn well know! You know Cat has fucking feelings for you, and you're fucking flirting with some nurse chick? Bloody idiot!" I scoffed, feeling offended. Before I could respond, Charlie continued.
"No, just listen, Harry! You've changed a fucking lot since the last I saw you in Holmes Chapel! Cat and I both see it! Can you stop having your head twisted around your ass and focus on your best friends for two seconds?"
I was baffled. Never had I known Charlie and Cat felt this way. Was it because I was fawning over Louis? I can't stop hanging out with Louis. I just got him back! I needed to be less exclusive and obvious. I'll have to set time out for both of the people I care about..
Charlie got off the bed after some silence, and reached the door, but didn't leave before saying "Think about it. See you at lunch."
Finally I was alone with my thoughts. Was that a good thing anymore?
The awkward atmosphere carried on through lunchtime. Especially, between Cat and I.
"So, what do you three have planned for today?", my mom asked, trying to start a conversation.
We all stayed quiet for a minute, until Charlie dropped his fork, making it clatter against the plate.
"I think we might have a snack at that 70's like café by the hospital, but not too sure." I paused and quickly looked up from my plate. He continued without sparing me a glance.
"Afterward we might head to the theater to see a film, to kill time, then we will find somewhere to eat for supper, then after Cat and I have a surprise for Hare." He turned and grinned with an almost evil-like smirk. What kind of surprise were they talking about?
"That's wonderful!", my mum clapped her hands together. "That'll be some great bonding time! I'll give you all some money after lunch!", my dad spoke up.
They seemed like the only excited people at the table.
I finished eating and excused myself from the table, to go wash up.
I grabbed a towel, with underwear, and headed to the shower.
Afterward, I collapse back on my bed, naked might I add, and drift off to sleep... Almost. A knock wakes me up when I'm unaware of my surroundings anymore, causing me to jump off of bed, and cover my self with the blanket.
"Uh, yes?", I ask, after a moment of silence.
The door opens and I take a step back, but not far enough to re-enter the loo.
