Chapter 104

Harry's POV

A distant clicking sound pulls me away from my slumber, and I groggily lift my head from Karleigh's hospital bed. When my eyes focus in the darkness of the hospital room, my orbs lock with a set of brown eyes.

"Harry?" Mandy whispers in a frantic voice.

"Huh."

"Harry, the entire cancer wing is having a mental breakdown searching for you!" She scolds me. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Shrugging my shoulders I stand to my feet. "What time is it?" I ask, my voice husky.

"7:03 am"

I nod slowly as I brush past her to leave the room. Her hand cuffs my wrist and I look back at her with raised brows.

"You never answered my question, what are you doing in here?" She demands to know.

"Visiting Karleigh, obviously." I say in a monotone voice, stepping out of the room and closing the door behind me. I'm still half asleep as I make my way across the hospital and back to my floor to the cancer treatment wing.

As soon as I step foot out of the elevator, it seems, a hundred workers rush towards me as if it were a serious game of hide and seek. The nurses all surrounded me, hands touching numerous locations on my body, to make sure I'm not quite dead. One of the nurses grab my IV tower that I was so carelessly dragging behind me.

I blindly make my way back to my room, because all of the surrounding nurses are blocking my vision. Dr. Martin is seated in my room when it open the door, and he rises to his feet when he spots me.

"Harry!" He gushes, as if he's just seen somebody who's risen from the dead.

"In the flesh." I humorlessly reply.

He ignores my snide comment and helps me to my bed. My body instantly begins to warm, as soon as I'm beneath the shelter of my covers.

"Your body will be sore after your scan, I don't think you're understanding how much strain the spinal examination actually put your body through." Dr. Martin grumbles.

I ignore his momentary lecture and glance up at him. "When can I go home?"

He's standing next to some of my vitals, and inserting a small pouch with clear fluid, with some more liquid. His eyes flicker down to mine. "Why don't you take a nap, to rest a little, then you can go."

I want to argue with him, and say no, I want to leave right now. I'm sick of this treacherous hospital that's taking my life away, both parts of it. But I feel extremely tired all of a sudden, and the covers that are swaddled around my body feel like heaven.

Then I'm gone.

************************************

"Mr. Styles, your ride is here to get you." A soft, feminine voice shakes me awake and I lean forward.

For a brief second I forget where I am, and who I am but then everything comes rushing back to me and I realize I'm laying in a hospital bed. The nurse who woke me is standing over my bed, looking slightly worried.

"You ready?" She calmly asks, extending her arm for me to use for support but I ignore her gesture and walk by myself. I notice that the IV tower I was once attatched to is now gone and my clothes that I arrived here in, have been gathered.

As soon as I step foot out of my hospital room, I spot Mom, Gemma, Robin, and my younger cousin Brett. They all smile widely at me, and Brett comes prancing towards me on his wobbly, toddler feet.
