Still Alive

Chapter 6

  I slept horrible last night, i kept waking up in the middle of the night because of the pain in my side and everytime I woke up, he was there. The first time I was shocked to see him slumped on the small hospital couch, he looked so adorable in his sleep. but Why would he even stay? I still cant get over the fact that he said our date "meant nothing" to him,  well maybe it really did. If it did mean nothing to him, it just makes my life easier, because I dont have to keep dragging myself around like a fool. I wont be one of his little side chicks. Like that whore Sara, god I hate her. After that day that her and Stacy saw me with Harry after school, Sara has been all over Harry, and Im not going to lie, everytime I see her, I want to rip her hair out.

 I heard soft moaning from the couch and quickly shut my eyes, pretending to be asleep. I didnt neccesarily want to talk to him. He was was weird, he told me our date meant nothing, but then the things he whispered when he thought i was asleep makes me question his sanity. 

Harry walked over and ran his hand across my forehead and then Iheard his boots on the ground and the door open and shut. Slowly I opened my eyes, he was gone. That was it I guess.

Carefully I got up and walked over to the duffel bag Harry had brought yesterday and layed out an outfit, hoping I can wear it, since i will be having company later. But my hope is killed when a nurse comes in and scolds me for being out of bed.

"I want to shower" I whine to my nurse.

"Well, then shower, but you will put that gown back on. Now come on." She said, leading me to the shower.  "I will be out here in case you need anything." She says. Oh thank god, I was praying i wouldnt have to have an awkward confrontation of her being in the bathroom with me. Because then she would give me her usual lecture how we're all people who bare the same parts and how ridiculous it was for me to be uncomfortable.

I started the water and Im not going to lie, even taking a shower was difficult, but I refused to call the nurse in because a 17 year old girl cant manage to take a shower by herself. Once I had finished, I pulled back the curtain and called out for my nurse. Instead I got the low husky voice I pretended to despise, but secretly adored. 

"Err, um she had to go, patient had a problem'" He said through the door. 

"Oh" was all I could say. I couldnt ask him to come in here, I was naked, but the nurse took my gown.

"Did you need something" He asked. 

"My gown. She took it." I said, pulling on some underwear and bra.

"There's one here."

"Could you bring it in here?"

The door creaked and he popped his head in with his eyes closed.

"Im not nude." I smiled, how was he such a dork but such a dick? I saw him smile, a shy smile before coming in and walking over to me.

"Here" he potioned the gown at the top of my head and slipped it down the rest of my body.

"Thank you." I said quietly "Could you, um, braid my hair like you did yesterday?" 

 I saw him grab my comb off the counter and took that as a yes, I headed over to the bed with him follwing behind me. I sat on the bed, but I shifted around a lot before I was actually comfortable.

Harry's POV

"You alright?" I asked.

"Fine" she said simply. I hope shes not mad about what i said yesteday. I mean she cant be, she just asked me to braid her hair, i think thats a good sign.

"Happy Birthday." I took her hair to one side and began combing it out.

"Thanks" she smiled.

"Hows it feel to be 18?" 

"Just a litlle worse than 17" She half smiled. It was probably because she was stuck in this dreadfull place, instead of at home or at a dinner I wouldve taken her to. I know I told her that our date meant nothing, when in reality, it meant everything to me. Its just i cant let her know she has the upper hand here because that would mean giving her the power to hurt me. It sounds like a load of bullshit, i know, but its true.  I hope she doesnt bring that up today because I dont want her to be upset with me when I give her the surprise.
