A/n: Hey guys, Moi is back!

Sorry for the long wait but it was a busy time for me. Two weeks ago I turned 18 and now I have responsibilities, ew.  Here's the new chapter, don't forget to comment and vote. 

Riley's P.O.V.

I was sat up straight in the hospital bed that had been mine for the past three weeks. I ate my dinner silently, not looking up. Rose was sat in one of the chairs beside my bed, she'd been here almost everyday. She told me she was worried about me and didn't want to leave me alone. I knew I acted a little crazy a few days ago, when they had to sedate me but she had no clue why. I wasn't planning on telling her either, she probably won't be able to handle it. About ten minutes later I finished the disgusting meal that the nurse had gave me, they really should think about changing these menus. I had gotten used to it but I felt pity for those who couldn't just heal, people who suffered from cancer or some other terminal decease, those people couldn't just leave and had to deal with this kind of food for months. I shivered from the thought of being terminally ill when Rose grabbed the plate and put it down on the bedside table. She didn't talk and just sat back down and continued to read through the magazine she brought with her. 

The doctor had talked to me earlier today to let me know I was free to leave in just two days. My ribs were healing the way the should and the bumps and bruises were almost completely gone. According to the doctor, there was no reason for me to stay here any longer than needed, so in two days I could finally leave this place and go back to Niall. My thoughts had been with him almost every minute of every day, ever since the card arrived and my memory came back. It was excrutiating to know that Niall was in the house all by himself and probably had no clue to what had happened to me. The thought of him thinking that I had purposely left him made my eyes water and my soul ache. 

Both the heads of Rose and I shot up when we heard a loud screaming in the hallway, sounding like it was just outside my room. Rose looked at me and opened her mouth, starting to say something but I held my hand up and shushed her, I recognized the voice. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the sound of the male's voice outside my room through the demanding voices of the nurses when it clicked, it was Harry.

Harry's P.O.V.

This was the fourth hospital I had been to, looking for Riley. I was stood in front of the receptionist who was sat behind a desk, carelessly reading through some articles on her computer. I had been standing here for five minutes and I started to lose my patience. "Excuse me, miss?" I started, raising my voice as she looked up from behind her glasses and raised her eyebrows at me, someone obviously didn't like her job. "I've been looking for my friend, I'm afraid something happened to her." I continued, looking down at the woman. 

"Name?" She mumbled before looking back down at her computer, completely ignoring me. I bit my tongue, trying to hold back the sarcastic comment that was threatening to roll off my tongue. "Riley Clark." I spoke while laying my hands down on the counter that reached up to my chest. The woman immediately started typing and within a few seconds, she nodded. "We indeed have a Riley Clark within our midst." She smiled, an actual smile. Well, I guess she had a soul after all. 

"Can I see her? What room is she in?" I replied, thank god that I had finally found her, I started to believe she fell off the face of the earth. I mean, she couldn't have just disappeared, right? "Are you related to her?" The woman asked me, leaning back in her chair as she looked up at me.

"No, she's a close friend, please let me see her." My tone was laced with annoyance as I drummed my fingers on the platform. The lady stared at me for a couple of seconds before sighing and looking at her screen. "She's on the second floor, room 316." She spoke, a small smile on her face as she motioned for me to move on. "Second floor, room 316, alright. Thank you!" I nodded before sprinting towards the elevator and roughly pushing the button a couple of times before the door opened and I got in, quickly pressing the button that held the number two. It felt like it took several minutes before I finally reached the second floor and the doors opened. I walked along the different rooms until I saw room 312, only two doors to go. Once I reached the correct room, I reached out for the doorknob but immediately felt a hand on my shoulder which gently turned me around.

"Who are you, if I may ask?" The male nurse asked me, raising his eyebrows at me. I bit my lip before shaking his hand off of my shoulder. "Harry Styles, I'm a friend of Riley." I spoke, raising my voice just a bit as I tried to come off as intimidating. The man placed another hand on my arm, trying to lead me away from the room. What the hell was with all the touching? "Get your hands off me!" I roared, giving the nurse a slight push on his chest which made him stumble backwards. I had been looking for Riley for almost two days now and now I finally found her, they won't let me see her? This is bullshit. 

The nurse had a shocked look on his face as he straightened up his outfit before speaking up again. "I'm sorry but only family is allowed inside." He hissed, clearly annoyed as well. Our little scene had attracted the attention of another nurse, a female one. She looked like she was in her mid thirties as she stood between the two of us, looking at me. "Excuse me sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, you're disturbing the patients." She whispered while frantically looking around, clearly afraid that someone would hear our coversation and the hospital's good name would be harmed or some shit like that.  

This angered me to the bone, I was only here to see my friend who clearly had some kind of accident and they are holding me back from doing so because we're not related by blood? Ridiculous. 

"I don't give a shit about the other patients, I'm here to see a friend of mine!" I had raised my voice, sounding very intimidating if I say so myself and the nurse clearly feared me as well, taking a step back and bumping into her male colleague. Suddenly, a sound came from inside the room. "Harry!?" She yelled out, just loud enough to hear from outside the room. I gave the two dumbfounded nurses a last glare before turning the doorknob and walking inside. I first noticed a girl sitting on one of the chairs beside the bed before I noticed Riley, inside the hospital bed. She had tears in her eyes as she held out her arms for me. "Harry, you found me." She whispered as I walked towards her and wrapped my arms around her torso. She hid her face in the crook of my neck as she cried softly, her arms tightening around my neck. 

I found her.
