XXIV: be my baby

be my baby - snow hill

The sour taste lingered in my mouth after I had vomited. Rays of sunlight peaked through the blinds and the sound of the morning dove eased me up from my sleep.

"H-harry.." I murmured as I sprawled my body out on the bed. "Harry?" I called out.

"Harry?" I called his name again. I was alone in my room. I was lonely.

I attempted to sit up so I could remove the bin I had vomited in away from my bed, but it was already gone. I assumed the nurses had dealt with it.

I got up anyways so I could brush my teeth and wash my face. Perhaps the cold water would soothe my headache.

The hospital gown dragged behind me as I took small steps towards the bathroom.

As I put toothpaste on my toothbrush, a friendly looking nurse opened my door.

"Alaska darling? Are you okay?" She asked. I spat out the foam in the sink and rinsed out my mouth before answering her.

"I guess." I shrugged my shoulders as I slowly made my way back to the bed.

"I came to tell you that you are welcome to leave today. Your doctor said he thinks you are well enough." She continued. I didn't say anything back.

"Is there anything I can get you? A glass of water? Food?" She asked me, breaking the silence between us.

"Where is Harry? Please bring him here again." I whined.

The nurse walked closer to me and sat at the foot of my bed. I pulled the sheets above my shoulders to shield me from the cool air that whistled from the windows.

"Honey, he's not allowed to be in this wing. Or near any of the patient rooms. Security made him leave the hospital. He's a danger to the patients and staff here." She said assuringly, as if her words were supposed to calm me down.

"You kicked him out? No, no. Please tell him to come back. Please." I pleaded to the nurse as I threw my head back into my pillow.

"You clearly still have morphine in your system. You're a bit dazed." She said as she took a good stare at my face. "Mr. Styles- Harry was assaulting another visitor that was in this room.. Derrick. And now Derrick is a patient in the room beside yours. His nose was broken and he had to get stitches because of what Harry did to him. But if you're up to it, I can bring you to his room if you'd lik-"

"No." I replied before she could even finish. "I want Harry. I only want him."

The nurse sighed. "You aren't going to let up are you?"

I shook my head.

"Okay. I'll bring him here. Just a moment." The nurse obliged to my request. I smiled at her and laid back down in my bed.

--

After twenty minutes or so had passed, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in" I said as loud as my body would allow. The door opened slowly and the same nurse inside, followed by the person I truly wanted to see the most; Harry.

I sat up and flashed the biggest smile. He returned it. I stood up out of the bed and made my way into his open arms.

He held me tightly to his chest. He smelt of rain, which was a little odd because he always smelt of rich cologne.

He kissed my head as his muscular arms held my waist against his torso.

"I'm so glad you're okay." Harry sighed.
