Something weird happened with this chapter when I published it the first time, the last bit of it was lost. Sorry xx
But please enjoy xx

Hours later I awoke as I was pulled slowly from uncomfortable sleep. Sharp blinding sunlight seeped in through the windows of the room. I allowed myself a few moments of warmth before I would have to wake up to Liam. I mentally cursed myself out at my behaviour last night. I knew I was going to regret this.
I shifted in the bed so my back was against it and I was facing the ceiling. I wasn't surprised when I saw Liam not in bed with it being Thursday and all.
"Good. You're up," I heard Liam say as he entered the room. A second later I felt the bed dip under is weight. "I'm glad you showed up last night," his hand reached to move some hair behind my ear.
I swiftly got up out of bed to just get away from his touch. Surprisingly, it was now nauseating. He seemed to notice my sudden discomfort because he creased his brow in a confused fashion, but it quickly disappeared as I shot him an awkward, forced smile. "Do I get to see you after class today?" He asked hopeful.
"No. I'm not coming in today. I uhh...I have got something I need to do," I explain, not sure whether I should give out the full story.
"Ohh. Is he getting discharged today?" He asked as he rose from the bed. He moved around it to where I was standing all the while holding my gaze. His question sent a wave of shock through me.
"How did you know?"
"Jane," he answered simply with a shrug of his toned shoulders.
"Oh," is all I could manage out as I moved around him to reach the door. "Um. Bye Liam."
"Yeah okay."
As soon as I stepped outside, a heavy breathe I wasn't aware I was holding made it's way out through my lips. I moved quickly to my car and settled myself in. In frustration at myself, I hit the steering wheel with the palm of my hand and tilted my head back to rest it on the headrest.
Before I could sink myself deeper into self loathing I put my car into drive and made my way to the hospital. Along the way, different thoughts crept into my mind about last night: Will Liam tell Harry what happened ? If Harry did find out, how would he react? The drive was shorter than I had hoped because before I knew it, I was pulling up into the parking lot of the hospital. As I put my car on park, an involuntary sigh escaped my lips as if I were a naughty child getting ready to be chastised.
Harry POV
I was due to be discharged half an hour ago but she still wasn't here. Although we hadn't agreed she will fetch me, there was no denying the growing feeling that I hoped she would show up either way. Sighing, I got out my phone to text Zayn to pick me up even when I finally got the hint that she wasn't coming for me.
Last night was carved into the back of my mind. The way she called me out on what I had written about her. I would have thought for sure she would know exactly what I want as had read the last sentence, well I think she read the last sentence. Relief flooded through me as I realised I probably had caught her at the right time. Probably a few more seconds and she would know what happens to me when I see- let alone what I want from her. I hesitated to answer her question at the fear of being seen as a fool. The stupid boy who wanted what he could never have, not in his wildest dream.
"Hey," a soft voice interrupted my thoughts and I couldn't hold back the stupid grin that made it's way to my face as I realised who it was.
Without realising it, my feet led me to her. I opened my arms for an embrace and I swear I caught a glimps of her smile before it disappeared into my chest. I winced at the pain of it but quickly recovered as I heard her really laugh for the first time. My stomach flipped at the sound of her laugh. She pulled back and a noticeable feeling of disappointment made its way inside me.
