* 8: 32 p.m. *

Harry and I sat in the waiting room, waiting to hear about Emily.

I've been so worried about her.

I really hope she's okay. I've practically chewed all my nails off! 

Harry's still shirtless, and I'm trying my hardest not to stare, but damn he's hot.

"Ma'am, I believe you are here for Emily Red. She is aloud to have visitors now." A lady informs Harry and I, but talking to me.

"Is she awake?" I ask the nurse, standing up quickly, Harry standing up shortly after.

"Yes, but barely coherent." The nurse informs me.

"Okay, thank you. Oh, what room is she in?" I ask the nurse before she walks away.

"243." She says, walking away this time.

Harry and I slowly make our way to room 243. We've tried Level One, Level Two, and the basement! Ugh, this is so frustrating!

"Right here. Found it!" Harry says walking in the very last room at the end of the hallway.

"Leah! Oh my god, you're okay!" Emily yells right when she sees me. Harry awkwardly sits down on a chair, watching the t.v.

"Very incoherent I see." Harry rolled his eyes.

"I'm okay? I was worried sick about you!" I say back, hugging her gently.

"Those assholes raped and drugged me! Do you think I'm okay?" She laughs. I thought she was being serious there for a second.

"Hey, Harry." Emily waves to Harry, who's sitting on the other side of the hospital bed.

He pulls his attention away from the t.v.

"What? Oh, Hey." He says, not even smiling at her.

"Wait, what are you two doing together?!" Emily yells, literally.

"What?" I ask. What's so bad about being with Harry?

"Why are you guys together?! Harry! Did you... Did you guys... ya know..." Emily eyes him.

"No! Of course not!" I yell back. I wouldn't complain if we did...

"Later, you're explaining everything." She whispers to me so Harry can't here.

"Gotcha." I say, leaning away from the hospital bed.

"Oh, and Harry?" Emily gets his attention again.

"Yeah?" He says, making eye contact with her then looking at me

"Thanks for saving me." She smiles at him and he rolls his eyes.

"Nothing personal. I only did it because Leah wouldn't drop it." Harry groans.

"Well, whoever brought me here, thank you. It saved my life." She smiled.

"Wish it hadn't." Harry grumbles loud enough for us to hear.

"Harry. Can I speak to you... alone... in the hallway?" I say through my teeth.

"Sure, babe." Harry says, standing up. I feel heat rise to my cheeks and I can't help but smile.

We walked out into the hallway and the lights were out at the end of the hallway. Great. 

You could still see, just the entire hallway was dark.

"What do you wanna talk 'bout, love." Harry says, walking closer to me causing me to bump into the wall.
