Its been a month with me coming to see Harry everyday and surprisingly, he is improving. He has had his cravings for the substance but it slowly started fading. Everytime he got a craving when I was around, we would do something to get his mind off it. Like thumb wrestle, 20 questions or even making out. I must say, he was actually looking better and a lot happier. His eyes seemed to sparkle more then they did before. School was boring, nothing much happening. Harry's parents still don't know about the whole thing of me coming to visit but they have let me come see him this Saturday so I could spend the whole day with him. I walked into the building and waved to Emma before heading to Harry's room. I knocked on the door lightly, waiting for him to open it.
"Mum go away." He mumbled and I chuckled.
"Its not your mum love." I said and I jumped when the door swung open and being pulled into a tight hug.
"What will mum say?" He asked suddenly looking up at me and I laughed.
"She said I could come and spend the whole day with you!" I said and he grinned, pulling me into the room and pushing me softly against the door, placing his lips softly to mine. I smiled before deepening the kiss, wrapped my arms around his neck and tangling my fingers in his curls. We pulled away shortly after and I looked at him.
"Craving?" I asked and he nodded, placing his lips to mine again. Finally he pulled away, the pair of us needing air. He rested his forehead against mine and sighed happily, wrapping his arms around my waist tighter so I right up against him.
"I desperately want out of here..." He mumbled and I smiled, patting his cheek.
"Shouldn't be long now..." I said and he sighed.
"I just to be able to hold your hand all day, and kiss you every so often and make love together and go on cute, romantic dates but instead I am stuck here..." He said looking down and I smiled, placing a finger under his chin and lifted his gaze to mine. I pecked his lips and smiled.
"We have our whole life together now... When the cravings are completely gone, then you can leave." I said and he smiled.
"Plus, I am going to college after the Christmas holidays... Which means I will have more time to see you." I said and he blushed, smiling as we pulled away. He took my hand in his, walking over to his small bed and sitting down.
"I'm going to miss your birthday and Christmas..." He whispered softly, resting his head on my shoulder.
"I didn't even get you a birthday present..." Harry whispered again but I shook my head.
"You being here... Alive... Is my present. For loving me for me and not caring what anyone thinks is enough for me!" I whispered, kissing his forehead.
"Its next week..." He said and I laughed.
"So?" I asked and he smiled slightly.
"You are getting old!" He said laughing and I glared at him playfully.
"I am only a year older then you!" I whined and laughed. We sat in silence for a long time, just enjoying each others presence.
"Can we go walk outside?" Harry asked and I smiled, nodding. We both stood up and walked out the room. He held my hand tightly as we passed rooms with people screaming from the inside, some weird people walking past us, some muttering things to themselves and others just looked suicidal...
"This is what the place does to you..." Harry whispered and my eyes widened even more at that.
"You won't turn out like that will you?" I asked and he smiled.
"I will hopefully not be here long enough for it to happen." He said and I smiled, walking out the large doors into the main courtyard. There was a large tree at the far end of the courtyard, which is where we usually sit when he isn't going to therapy sessions or something. We sat down under the large tree and lay down, resting his head on my lap. I gently played with his curls, smiling down at him.
"So what has been happening at school?" Harry asked softly and I sighed.
"There is a few others that will be graduating early. Including Zayn." I said and he nodded.
"They want to do a early prom for us because we won't be around for the real prom. Rather stupid really." I said.
"Its not stupid, everyone deserves to go to prom." Harry said but I shook my head.
"Oh come on Lou! You have to go!" Harry said sitting up and turning to face me.
"No ways." I said but he glared at me.
"Louis. You have to go! Come on! You were captain of the football team for many years running. And student body president... Okay so you got it taken away, doesn't mean people don't respect you anymore." Harry said and I sighed.
"Haz you are not getting it are you?" I asked, making him frown.
"What am I not getting?" He asked.
"There is no point in me going to this early prom because I won't be able to take you with me." I said and Harry smiled, blushing.
"That still shouldn't stop you from going." Harry said.
"Well you are missing your prom, so I am going to miss my prom and spend the day with you anyways." I said leaning over and kissing his cheek.
"I love you." He whispered leaning forward and connecting his lips to mine in a short, meaningful kiss.
"I love you too." I said when we pulled back.
"But I am still going to bug you until you go to prom." He said and I groaned, smacking my head on the tree. Harry chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder.
"Harry!" We looked up to see Emma coming towards us with a large smile and a clipboard.
"Emma, how are you today?" I asked and she smiled.
"I'm doing great, but I need to do Harry's daily report." She said and I nodded, keeping Harry close.
"How the cravings today? Yesterday you reported only have one..." She said and Harry nodded.
"Uh I have had 2 today." He whispered and she nodded.
"How do you feel?" She asked.
"Better, not so tired anymore." He said and she smiled.
"You might be able to go home sooner then you think... We will have to wait and see how your progress is over the next couple of months." She said and I mentally groaned. Next couple of months? How long is that going to be?
"Thanks." Harry muttered quietly and she smiled before heading off to another patient further away from us.
"Couple of months?!" I said and Harry jumped, looking at me alarmed.
"Calm down..." He said but I groaned.
"Couple of months! I want you out now!!!" I whined hugging him tightly to my side.
"I want out now too but I can't so deal with it." He said smiling a bit and kissed my neck. I sighed before smiling.
"Oi! Weirdo!" I snapped my gaze to a massive man walking towards us.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"Not you, him." He said pointing at Harry. The man was huge, fat, smelt of rotten eggs and had tattoo's covering his arms. His face was covered in horrible piercings and really put you off him by just one look.
"Fuck off." Harry muttered, pulling away from my grip and glaring up at the man.
"You must watch your mouth man... Or it could get you in big trouble." The man threatened.
"Says the man that nearly overdosed with coke." Harry said and the man glared at him.
"Says you! I remember you taking everything available." The man muttered, making Harry roll his eyes.
"Yeah but at least I remember helping Liam and Graham to get you to hospital to save your dumb ass." Harry muttered, glaring at the man. The man huffed and got close to Harry's face, making me scrunch my nose up in disgust. He seemed to have something to say but Harry stopped it just in time before I had to smell the dude again.
"Piss off Richard." Harry muttered. I watched the man flip Harry off before storming away.
"Who is he?" I asked and Harry sighed, looking down.
"He used to be in the group I was in... Gang I guess you could call it. If it wasn't for Liam, Graham and I, he would of been dead. We watched him go overboard. He has been here ever since. Hates me and the others." He explained. I sighed wrapping my arms around his shoulder, pulling him to my chest so he was resting between my legs.
"Hopefully you will be out before he is." I said kissing him behind the ear before nuzzling my nose in his hair.
"But he might come after me then..." He said and I smiled against his neck.
"By the time he gets out, we will be far away from here..." I whispered and he smiled.
"Where are we going to go?" He asked and I shrugged.
"I'm thinking somewhere hot... Lots of sun, surf and lots of ice cream." I said, making Harry laugh loudly.
