     Harry paced nervously across the white tile floor. His mum and sister were sat in a chair consoling Callista's mother. They'd been waiting for an hour now. They took Callista in for an MRI scan to check if the fainting was due to the brain tumor. Harry didn't know what the answer was, and it was driving him mad. He didn't want to lose her like this.

"Harry come sit down." Gemma, his sister said, patting the seat next to her.

"I'm fine." He insisted.

"She'll be okay Harry. But you need to rest." Gemma insisted, and Harry, with a groan, sat down next to her.

"C'mere." His sister said, and Harry more than instantly fell into Gemma's embrace. The tears started instantly, and wishing a minute, Gemma's shirt was soaked.

"I don't want to lose her." Harry whimpered into his sister's shoulder.

"You won't. Not today." Gemma promised, "I swear." And like magic, a doctor came out of the room. Harry jumped up off the chair and ran to the doctor.

"Is she okay?" Harry asked breathlessly. The doctor chuckled, and Harry instantly let out a breath he'd been holding in.

"She passed out due to dehydration, not the tumor. We checked on the tumor and it hadn't seemed to grow in size. But she has to be under observation for the next two hours, then yes, she may leave." Harry could've kissed the doctor.

"Can I go see her?" He asked, his eyes lit up from the relief and excitement of seeing his girl.

"You can all go in. But remember, keep it PG." The doctor said, giving Harry a pointed look. Harry blushed, and the three women behind him giggled. The doctor give Harry a pat on the back before letting the four of them go through. Harry rushed through the room. He saw Callista in bed, her eyes closed.

He walked up to her, his heart racing at the sight of her. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Hello my beautiful rose."

Callista's eyes shot open the sound of Harry's voice, nearly screaming at the sight of him so close to her. Still, she didn't want to say anything. He was in love with her, and that was definitely someplace they couldn't be. But the fact that she loved him as well made it incredibly hard to let him go.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asked quietly. Yes she wanted to say Now that you're here. But instead she said,

"Actually can you go get me some food?"

Harry's smile fell. She was trying to get rid of him. But he didn't let it show, or at least he thought that. In reality, Callista saw his smile droop, and that made her heart break. But she needed to make him somehow fall out of love with her.

"What do you want?" Harry asked, trying not to let his pain show. Had Callista just dismissed him? He didn't know what to do.

"Get like, chips or something." She said, and turned her attention away from his watering eyes before she could give in to him. Harry quickly left the room, he didn't want Callista to see him crying.

Harry walked down the halls, furiously wiping away the tears that appeared in his eyes.

"Why?" He asked himself, "Why do I mess everything up?" He pulled at his hair, the tears slowly, painfully making their way down his face. He didn't know what he had done wrong. Harry ran into the nearest boys bathroom, locking himself in a stall and sitting on the lid of the toilet seat. Everything about Callista came back to him, her smile, her laugh, her eyes, everything about her came flooding back to him, making his eyes well up once again.
