Unexpected Turn. [h.s. & n.h.]

Chapter 6

DAY 1

I woke up around 7 am to the sound of another nurse coming in injecting Harry with something. Ever since I was a little girl I hated hospitals, there was something about them that made me feel uneasy maybe it was the way they smelled, still to this day I don't know how to describe the smell of a hospital almost like old people but I don't know. I was surprised I even slept at all, last night sleep seemed impossible, I felt like I wouldn't sleep until he woke up but I guess the liquor and heavy eyes over powered me. I woke up in last nights dress, the tight red dress had a small tare in it and mascara was smudged all over. Make up smudged all over my face, my one fake eyelash was lying on the pillow of the bed and the other was still glued to my eyelid. My eyes in general were swollen, puffy red eyes. I took me minutes to recollected my thoughts and remember what even happened and why I was ever here. I looked over to my left to see the boy I loved most with his eyes closed in the bed beside me. He looked so peaceful and beautiful at the same time.

"Good morning love" I said with a weak smile.

I looked around the room to find a bag on a chair with a note "I didn't think you would want to stay in your dress and heels so here's some leggings, a shirt and your converse. I don't really know my way with make up so I just threw some random things in here, plus some face wash, ill be back soon, N."

A tiny smile appeared. He really brought everything I needed. I got up and kissed Harry on the forehead and went to find a bathroom, I turned the tap to a scorching temperature and splashed it all over my face, it stung a lot but there was something about the hot water that relaxed me, I tried my best to put my hair into a small pony tail which was near to impossible because there is always pieces of hair that don't want to stay in the pony tail I didn't even bother with the makeup, the only thing I did was groom my eyebrows and slightly filled them in, there was a high chance I would be in tears later so mascara was a big no go. Half and hour later Anne, Gemma and Robin arrived at the hospital, I walked down to meet them in the lobby, I was afraid because I thought they might blame me for the accident and not let me see him anymore like in some bad romance movie. I took a breath and closed my eyes, "keep it together," I said in my head before going to greet them. Anne was the first to approach me.

"Oh darling" Anne said hugging me tightly

Anne had always treated me with such a big heart, she accepted me right off the back, she's one of the sweetest people I know. I'd never miss out on teatime with her because she always has so many amazing stories to tell. She's the type of women who always carries a huge smile on their face and was always kind to everyone. A week ago we were having Christmas dinner at their place, the first real Christmas I've had in forever and now I didn't know if that would happen again.

"I've already spoke to the doctors so you don't need to explain everything to me in detail." I could see that she had been crying, her eyes were puffy and there were tear stains on her cheek, she wasn't carrying her big smile today. For some reason I felt like I needed to cry, but I couldn't cry, even if I tried to force the tear out of my eyes they wouldn't fall. Maybe because I has spent all of last night crying. I was drained and tired.

"Thank you for coming so quickly Anne"

"Of course, we came as soon as it was light out. Love, I know you want to stay here with him but you should go home and get some rest, well be here the whole time and we can call you if something happens but you've had a rough 12 hours and you looks like you need a good rest." she said with a forced smile.

"I can't go home." There was no way I could possibly go to our home filled with our memories and his things and his smell. I couldn't go sleep in our bed without him.
