   I was working in the salon mid afternoon when I got a call from Anne.

Harry had a seizure hours before and is currently in the hospital.

  I told Dominic I had to leave, sensing the urgency in my voice he didn't ask questions and let me go. The entire drive to the hospital was spent with me in tears going over the speed limit. How could I not cry? Someone I care about is in the hospital and is in pain. Harry is too fragile to be put under the pressure of a seizure. Of course I was worried about him. As soon as I entered the hospital I asked the lady at the counter where Harry was and she directed me to his room.

  I've never really been a fan of hospitals. The smell of disinfectant put me on edge. The white walls brought a sense of discomfort. But I will gladly walk this hallway to get me to Harry. When I was infront of Harry's door I knocked gently and heard Anne say come in.

   Fortunately, he was awake in the Hospital bed and grinned weakly as soon as he saw me but that didn't stop the tears resurfacing to my eyes. "Oh Harry" I cried out, the tears slipping out. I rushed to his side and threw my arms over his shoulders and he gripped my waist in response.

  "Hi Ro-Rose" he said in a small voice.

  "He had a seizure earlier this morning, I called an ambulance the second I saw him." Murmured Anne who I barely noticed. Much to Harry's displeasure, I walked to Anne and hugged her as well, "I'm so sorry" I said quietly.

  "Don't be. It's happened before and the doctor says it won't kill him, it sure as hell scares me though." She muttered, hugging me back.

  Before I could respond I heard a weak call of my name and turned to see Harry with his arm out towards me, indicating me to go back to him. I smiled and held his hand. "How are you doing curly?"

  "O-okay, want to g-go home." He frowned, rubbing his thumb over my knuckles.

  "We can go home as soon as the doctor says you're okay to go." I told him sadly.

  Before I could stop myself I reached over and hugged him close to me again."Please don't scare me like that ever again." I know it's not his fault but I can't help myself, I don't want him in pain.

  He giggled "o-okay Rose" he left a small peck on my cheek. I sniffed before pulling away, Harry still holding my hand. He scooted over and patted the space next to him. I hesitated, looking at Anne and saw her nodding her head with a small smile on her lips. I sat down next to him and he rested his head on my shoulder and wrapped both of his arms around one of mine. I put my hand on his arm, rubbing it softly. The worry hasnt left me. I know Anne told me a seizure wouldnt kill him but the fright knawed at my heart.

  Harry noticed my tense figure and nuzzled his head of curls into my neck. I laid my cheek on his head and hummed softly.

  "When you get out of here Im going to take you somewhere" I whispered to him.

  He gasped, "where?" He asked excitedly.

  "Nope. It's a surprise curly." I was taking him somewhere that relaxes me but im not saying where.

  "Al-alright Rose. As l-long as I-I'm with you th-then any where is f-fine." He murmered, I brushed his hair back and softly rubbed his cheek. He tightened his grip on my hand and let out a tired sigh.

  This boy gives me chest pains but its all worth it in the end.
