Make a Wish

Chapter 16

~Zoey's POV~

"I have to go run some errands... Will you be okay while I'm gone?" Mom asks me as she helps me back into the painfully uncomfortable hospital bed.

"Yes mom, I'll be fine. I'll make sure to let someone know if I'm about to die." My sarcasm receives a death stare in response,"Mom, chill, it was just a joke." I put up my hands defensively.

"Don't joke about those kinds of things, it really scares me when you do that." She says sitting at the edge of my hospital bed.

"I'm sorry mom..."

"It's fine. I'm going to go now", she stands up and leans over, kissing me on the forehead,"I love you, call if you need anything." I nod at her until she turns her back and walks out the door. I roll over on my side and lay my head on my pillow. This turned out to be a great trip, huh?

I wake up to find a toothy grin a brown floppy hair about three inches away from my face.

"Hey." Harry smiles at me, my eyes are probably as wide as walnuts.

"You scared the crap out of me." I whisper. Harry erupts in a fit of laughter, and I can't help smiling at him.

"So, are you... Okay?"

"I think so... I mean I'm still alive so I guess that's a good sign." Harry's mouth turns up in a half grin at my remark,"So when can you come back?"

"Back where?" I don't really know what he's referring to, the only place for me to go "back" to is my hotel room.

"I don't really know what I meant." He chuckles as he looks towards the ground a runs his fingers through his curly hair.

"I guess as soon as I'm allowed on a plane I'll be going back home..."

"No! I mean... You can't leave yet." He blushes a little.

"And why's that?" I ask smirking at him.

"Because I-" Harry is cut off by the nurse,"Excuse me but Zoey has to take her pills now."

"Oh, ok. I guess I should go... See you tomorrow?" I nod at him. He turns around a walks awkwardly out the door.

"So I talked to the doctor... And he says you can finish your trip tomorrow but you'll have to be very careful!" Mom tells me the amazing news as soon as she gets back from running errands.

"Oh thank god!"

"So you are enjoying this trip! I knew it!"

"How can I not? I mean meeting possibly the worst band in the whole world and ending up in the hospital, what a great vacation!"

"Ha ha, very funny."

"I thought so." I say shrugging my shoulders.

"Well it's getting late. I think I'll head back to the hotel room. Love you sweetie." She ruffles my hair as she walks out the white door frame. I reach for the TV remote and press the power button. I flip through a few channel until I find the Disney channel. I may be eighteen but I'm still entitled to Disney. I set down the remote in its original resting place and try to focus on why Charlie's teddy bear is ripped up all over the floor. I can't get Harry out of my mind though. What was he going to say to me today before the nurse cut him off? Stupid nurse... No! Maybe I should just ask him. But what if it's something weird he was going to confess and he doesn't want to do it anymore? I hate when people do that... What if he was gonna tell me who he likes? Not that I care, it's just... Good to know. I bet he likes Jennifer Lawrence or something. Ha, like he'd have a chance with her.
