Chapter 58

--Nour's P.O.V.--

Finally, after what seems like ages, I can open my eyes. The first thing I can see is Harry, watching me, eyes sparkling, looking at me intently. I did my best to smile.

"Harry," I said, but for some reason I couldn't get my voice to work. It didn't matter, he was smiling anyways.

"Nour" he whispers, "I love you"

My heart strings pulled and it was all I could do not to burst into happy tears.

"I love you too" I whisper, "forever and-"

"Always. I got that." He jokes, reaching up to stroke my cheek.

"How is everyone?" I ask, my voice still a little scratchy.

He rolled his eyes. "Of course, you get stabbed and the first thing you think about is how everyone is. Worried about you!"

I smiled weakly, then an ugly thought crawled into my mind. "Is Mike okay?" Harry's smile disappeared and I knew. Oh God, not Mike.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. Mike is gone because of Michael.

"Babe, do you know who stabbed you?"

I remembered his face and body lunging towards me.

"Michael"

His eyes turned angry and he clenched his fists. I could tell he was trying to control himself around me and not flip this hospital bed right now. I squeezed his hand. "I'm okay though."

He looked me in the eyes intently, almost on the verge of tears.

"What's wrong Harry, I'm fine?"

He shook his head and sniffled. "I can't believe I let him hurt you......AGAIN! Dammit Nour! It happened again!"

I reached for his neck and pulled him up to my face. "It's not your fault, I'm fine Harry." I kissed his forehead. He looked down and stayed silent for a little bit.

"Your mom says if you don't call her soon, she's flying out here." He changed the subject with a light smile. I giggled.

"Cell phone please" I said quietly.

Harry grinned and stood up to get my purse that was on the table. He handed my cell phone to me, pressing his lips to my forehead.

"You don't know how glad I am that you are okay." He mumbled, sitting back down. I smiled sadly, reaching up to push his hair back. "I love you too"

********************

After calling my mom, Harry and I decided we should tell the rest I'm awake. It was midnight here and they were on their way.

"You should get some sleep" I said to Harry, who's head was resting on the bed next to me. I absentmindedly twirled his hair in my fingertips. He shook his head.

"I've been waiting two days to hear your voice. Those were the worst two days of my life. You think I'm going to sleep now?"

"If you don't try to get some sleep now, I will tell Paul to carry you out of here and sleep in the hotel room." I lied. Harry believed me though.

"Okay, okay. Please don't make me leave." He pleaded, clutching my hand in his. I smiled and brought his hand to my lips, kissing his fingertips.

"Just sleep, okay?"

He nodded reluctantly and closed his eyes, not leaving my side or letting go of my hand.

By the time the boys and Eleanor arrived, he was already out cold snoring next to me.
