Alien //H.S.//

Chapter 14

*Alice*

I slowly open my eyes. I'm immediately greeted by a horrible feeling in my stomach. I groan on pain. Harry's concerned, beautiful face appears above me.

"Alice? How are you feeling?"

"Bad." I croak. His eyebrows push up in concern.

"Here. Have some tea." He hands me my ginger tea from before. I shake my head.

"It...won't...stay...down..." I struggle to say between groans. How could I have gotten a bug? Where could I have gotten a bug?

"Alight. Maybe some Milanta?" I make a face. "I'm trying!" He says with an annoyed sigh. I wince. His face softens.

"It...hurts..."

"I know." He sighs again. "Mum!" He calls. Mrs.Styles appears in the doorway of the living room.

"Yes, Harry?"

"What should I give her for her bug?" Louis appears next to Anne.

"Harry, before you give her anything, I need to talk to you really quick." Harry glares at Louis.

"You think this is the best time to chat?" He says, annoyed. Louis sighs.

"Please?" Harry sighs.

"Mum take care of her while I talk to Lou, ok?" Anne nods and rushes over to me. Harry gets up and walks off with Louis.

"Tea?" Anne offers me my mug. I shake my head, clutching my stomach.

"I...can't..." Anne nods, concerned.

"I understand. How about I turn the TV back on? Harry turned it off when you were tossing in your sleep. He was worried that it was too much noise for you." I feel a strange feeling inside of me.

"O-Ok. Thanks." I murmur, drifting off again. I wonder what time it is...

"I'm going to go make you some soup." Anne says, turning the TV on and getting up. "Your tea is on the coffee table in case you want it." She walks out of the room as I mutter a thanks to her.

I can't help but think this is weird. I've never been taken care of like this before. Jake is always working and so is Dad, Seth never knew how to do that stuff, and Matt was always on campus at college. I always took care of myself. And I have to say, I like this way better.

*Harry*

"What is it, Lou?" I ask, annoyed. Louis sighs.

"This isn't some type of bug she has, you know that right?" I sigh and run a hand through my curls.

"Of course I know that! I'm not stupid."

"Look, at some point you need to tell her. The affects are already taking place."

"I know. But I didn't think this would happen so soon! And I don't want to stress her out...she already doesn't feel good. Stress will only make it worse."

"Well you have to tell her at some point!"

"Yes, I know. But when is the right time?"

"Only you know that. I'm sure it's soon, though."

"I still have to tell her what we are."

"That shouldn't be that bad. I'm sure she has assumptions already. I mean, come on. We live on a different planet. Doesn't that give it away already?"

"Good point. But when I read her mind, it sounds so crowded...Louis, she's thinking about A LOT."

"Yeah, it's tough. Be gentle on her, ok?"
