Pain | 5

I looked in the seat and saw harry. He was hooked up to a machine and he comforting a baby. He was smiling and cooing at the chubby baby. Something I thought I'd never see ever in my life. He held the baby so delicately and smiled at it so fondly. Bad boy fucking Harry is cuddling a child. Wearing a blue shirt. And smiling. What the actual fuck is going on?

"Hey nick." He said and I looked down disappointed. Bloke doesn't even remember my name.

"It's niall." I said and I walked over towards him and the baby. I seen the baby with the most beautiful eyes ever. The prettiest shade of blue. It reminded me on that shirt Dylan O' Brien wore and the color was bringing out his eyes. Let's not focus on the fact I compared a baby's eyes to Dylan O' brien shirt.

"Yeah. Sorry Niall." He said and I sighed glad he wasn't the rude type to never remember my name.

"These are for you." I said and he looked up from the baby and seen the flowers. His eyes showed all of his love in one look at them. I could tell because I know how his eyes widen when he sees something he loves.

"Thanks. You can sit if you want." He said taking the flowers and resting them on the desk next to him. I sat down in a blue folded chair across from him and looked at his arms. Several cords were stuck to his chest and IV'S stuck in both arms. It just made me wonder, how could someone so bad, look so innocent right now?

"Hey niall? Can you press that buzzer?" He asked me pointing to a blueish- greenish button. I pressed the button and it buzzed until the same blonde woman came into the room.

"Yes harry?" She said and harry sat the baby in his lap sitting upright.

"I fed Maxine. I think she's ready to go back to the nursery." He said and the nurse left her place at the doorframe and went to take the chubby, blue-eyed baby from harry.

"Thanks harry." She said an harry smiled at the sight of Maxine smiling.

"Anytime Caroline." He said and I seen Caroline take Max's chubby hands and wave bye to harry and Harry gave her air kisses until she walked out and0 disappeared behind the door.

I seen him relax in the chair as he listened to low music. He hummed along and engulfed himself in his blue jumper.

"Do you ever wonder why people do something, when it will kill you in the end anyway?" He asked me and I shrugged feeling a wave of confidence wave over me.

"I know. It's kind of like falling in love with the wrong person, or smoking when you have lung cancer. You get attached to it and it's hard to let go. And it breaks you bad inside until you go running back for another taste." I said and Harry nodded.

"But why go back if its going to hurt you?" He asks and I shook my head shrugging, fixing my eyes on the ground.

"You already had it once, . . why not have it again?" I said and he opened his eyes to look at me. I felt his eyes on me but I ignored it.

"Your probably wonder why I'm hooked to these stupid machines, or why I'm in a hospital." He chuckled out and I smirked.

"Oh really? I didn't notice." My sarcasm dripping out of my voice. He smiled that beautiful smile again and it made me smile.

"But really? Why are you in here?" I asked and he gulped. His sleeves pulled down from being rolled up so he could nervously figit with them.

"I have Lukemia. And it's very deadly." He said and I swear my heart fell to the ground. From where I was sitting you could see his his eyes fill with tears. No! Don't cry harry. Be that strong harry you've always been.  Be that bad harry I thought you were up until this point

"Oh God." I gasped out and he chuckled as a stray tear fell into his lap. Wow. How can a man still smile in his position? I would be a miserable soul. And now I look up to him. Being able to come to school everyday and put that smirk on his face and never let it waver. He never let his guard down, which brings me to my second question. Why did he chose me? Why am I here above all people.

"It's nothing niall. I said no pity." He said and I shook my head covering my mouth.

"I could never pity you." I said and he nodded smiling. Like he was Happy I said that. I mentally made a note.

"Can't it cured? I mean your not waiting for your death day are you?"I asked him and he shrugged.

"There's no way to pay for the surgery. I remebered the day they told me I couldn't afford it. Poor Caroline came and sat by me and said: '20 Days till you meet the man upstairs, How do you feel?'. I could hear my heart breaking because of how that hurt. I didn't know what to do. My mom and dad couldn't pay. I was scared. But now,  . .I'm waiting." He said and I nodded. Feeling tears roll down my face I fell back in my chair.

"I could give you my savings. . I was going to use them to buy a house one day, but my parents could patch that up." I said and he shook his sitting up. His curls flickered back and forth as my eyebrows furrowed.

"No- No! You keep that money niall. I'm not a charity." Harry said and I chuckled.

"Harry. Please. . Let me do this." I said and he refused. We payed this game for five minutes before I gave up. He sighed sitting back in a chair and turning his music down a bit.

"Tell me about your family." He said closing his eyes.

"Well I have two brothers. Of course Zayn and Greg. We're from Ireland but Zayn's from Manchester." I said and he laughed a short but soulful laugh.

"Man U!" He said rooting. I laughed at that as we laughed together.

"Yeah. My mom and dad are from Ireland too. Right now they're in Dublin on a 'business trip'." I said and he frowned.

"Why the quotations?" He asked me and I smiled. 

"My mom doesn't know, that me and zayn know about their vacation fuck sessions." I said and he ooed making innapropriate remarks and gestures.

"Yeah. My brother Zayn has this disease also. Short term memory loss. And greg is now married. And his wife Denise Is pregnant with my nephew. We aren't sure what the name is yet. But I can tell you, she's ready to pop." I said and Harry chuckled crossing his arms over his chest listening.

"As embarrassing as this sounds, I crush on teen wolf Dylan O' Brien. I like the color pink. And I love kittens." I say and he smirks.

"Niall, your gay is showing." He said and I laughed at that.

"Oh yeah. And my middle name is James." I said and his smile remained. .

"Well I have a Sister name gemma. She went to school in the states so I don't see her often." He said and his eyes lit up. "And your in luck because I have a kitten named Paws." He added and my rose tinted glasses were probably red by now.

"I like to sing and bake. My favorite show is The Flinstones and I love purple flowers." He said admiring the bouquet and sitting it down again.

"Hmm. Not bad. Bad boy Harry." I said and he shrugged holding his hand out to his sides.

"I try." He said and I nodded.

"So how often do you come here?" I asked him and he answered straight away.

"I come here after school and leave around Midnight." He said and I nodded taking note of that.

"How does it feel having this. . condition?" I asked and he sat back closing his eyes. Easing his mind as I watched him.

I looked at my phone to see louis texted me to say my parents wanted me home. So I stood up and watched Harrys eyebrows furrow but his eyes didn't open.

"I gotta go Harry. I'll see you at school." I said and he stopped me with his hand. I watched as he dropped his arm.

"It feels like constant thumping and stinging all around. Constant Pain." He said and I nodded.  I left put not knowing what to say next. Louis was going to heat an earful.
