F O U R

"Hii!"

"My god."- I bring my hand to my heart while i feel it beating fast.

"You get scared easily."- she says and laughs.

"Lately yes, i do."- I smile.

"Im going to the cantine now. I'm almost at the end of my job here. Harry is almost heald."

"Thats amazing. Congratulations!"

"Thanks... I don't really know if i should be happy or sad."- she looks down.

"Why? You did something great with him. "

"Yeah, i know, but i got attached to him... I don't wanna leave him."- she gives a little sad smile.

"I know I'm going to sound annoying but that's part of the job. You arrive, you help, they get better and then you leave to help someone else."

"It was different this time... I-"

A big sound makes the floor shake. The ring made the doors around us open.

"Oh shit. Run."- she grabs my arm and starts running towards the end of the corridor.

The patients start getting out and I understand the fact that we are late.

She opens the door suddently and the cantine appears.

The tables start to get people as they appear from behind us.

She starts walking and I do the same.

"What now?"- i ask when we get against the wall besides the buffet.

"We wait for our guys."

"Our patients, Kate."- I laugh a little.

"That too."- she smiles and looks up.

Her smile suddently became bigger.  That must be Harry.

A tall boy with curly hair. He's smiling to her and she does the same. They both seem happy to see each other.

"Thats mine. I-I mean m-my job. Patient."

Kate walks to him and they go to a table. That must be their table. That means i have one with Niall. And i dont know wich one.

My eyes get stuck to the people coming in... Jeffrey said he doesn't eat.

Maybe he won't show u-

He appears from behing a girl. There he is. My whole body gets tense. My breathing starts getting faster.

He starts walking to another table on the other side of the room.

And i do the same.

When i get there he finally looks at me.

Did his eyes got frozed on mine? Fuck.

"Hey. Can i seat?"- suddently he shakes his head liked he's waking up.

"If you really have to."-his voice is nowhere different. Its still deep even though he may try to make it softer.

To me? Is that progress?

I sat in front of him and rest my hands on the table.

"So... Are you not going to eat?"

"No. Not hungry."- he leans in his chair and crosses his arms.

"Can you go get for me?"- he looks under the table.

"I can see you have legs. Use them ."

I sighed and tried to make more eye contact... it's working... I guess.

"Can't you be a gentlemen? And please do a lady a favor?"- I smirk to him.

He rolls his eyes and gets up.

Why does he have to be like this? I just want to talk and try to help.

Suddenly I see food on the table. He sits down and i thanked him.

"Ahm... It's fine."

I wasn't expecting that. He looks down and i can see the little smile.

"Do i have something in my face?" - i rush my hands and try to cover my redness.

"No... You just look like someone that i know..."

"Oh."

"The way of acting.... You say things just like her."

"Like who?"

"No one."- he lays back on his chair.

"Tell me about yourself. Are you married?"- he looks at me.

"What? No."- i let a giggle out of my mouth.

"I live alone. I left my parents house when I was 18. All my life I've wanted to do this. Be a friend to people who are not accepted by society or to those who are hurt by something that happended to them in the past."

"So... All you want to do is be my friend."- he does a facial expression and I can see he's thinking about it.

"Yes that's right." -he leans over and i slowly do the same.

"Okay then let's be friends. Dont regret it afterwards."

His face is close to mine. My breathing is getting faster and faster. I'm feeling like I'm in a bubble... just with him. I can even feel his breathing on my mouth and that makes me even more nervous.

"I wont." - i whispered.
