These Four Walls // H.S

Chapter 42

What is this. I'm looking at the back of my eyelids, I'm sweating and I can hearing crying. I try and open my eyes but nothing is working, I can't even move my arms an legs. The cry is high pitched, like a babies. Why was there a baby here. I start to breath heavily and the cries get louder.

I sit up panting and look up on the couch, Aly isn't there. I look around and it's quiet, the tv isn't on and there is no rain outside. I search for my phone in my pocket and read the time. 10:39am. I slept way longer then I planned and now Aly isn't where she should be. I stand up and walk to the kitchen, but it's empty. I make my rounds around the house, going in and out of every room until I hit mine. I can here the water running and some hard coughing.

"Aly?" I call out.

"Yeah." She answers. Thank god, I was worrying more than I should.

"Are you ok?"

"Yea." She coughed. "I'll be out in a minute."

"I'll be here." I said as I went and sat on the bed.

Waiting for her felt like watch ice melt on a cold day. I've never felt this way being away from her for so long. As I start to think about it I can't seem to stand this feeling. I feel weak and I don't like it. I stand up and go back down stairs to the kitchen. I pace back and forth, confused. I look at the clock on the wall and it's not even 11 yet. I walk to the house phone and dial mums number.

"Hello?" She answers.

"Where are you?" I ask.

"Good morning to you too." she answers. "I'm just at Robin's, why?"

"Uh I'm not sure if I wanna see Aly yet."

"What do you mean Harry?" She asks. "You slept by her side all night and worries about her none stop."

"I know but, things change."

"Like what?"

"I don't know."

"Your being stupid Harry." Mums says. "just go and give her a huge hug and kiss, tell her that everything's going to be ok."

"I'll try, but are you going to be back for lunch?"

"Yes Harry, I'll run to the shop shortly and grab a few things for home."

"Well, alright then."

After hanging up I let out a sigh and walked back up to my room. The door was open and when i peeked i saw Aly with  towel wrapped around her. She had bruises on her arms and cuts and it almost remind me of when i gave them to her and i hated the sight. I watched as she brushed her long hair in the mirror and smiled knowing how much it annoyed her. I decdied then that i should stop being a coward and just go in and talk to her. She smiled when she noticed me walking in.

"I've missed you." She says putting the brush down.

"I missed you, more then you'll know." I smiled.

"It was so stupid of me to leave." She said looking down at the floor, she always did that when she felt insecure.

"It was what you needed at the time, but i didnt approve of you going all the way to London."

"Im sorry Harry, it'll never happen again."

"Damn straight it wont, i was worried sick about you." I said raising my voice a little. I could a tear stream down her face and just took her in my arms. "It kills me that im stuck here until god knows when and i cant help you when you run off and get into trouble."

"I know and im sorry, i really am." She sobbed. I didnt like seeing her cry, i always felt like crap because most of the time i was the reason she was crying. 

"You have to tell me what happened."

"I will."

"Like now?"

"How about i get dressed and meet you down stairs, as much as i enjoy being naked i'd rather get dressed."

"Yea i like you much better naked." I winked before kissing her cheek and walking down stairs. It wasnt as bad as i had thought. I walked to the kitchen and put the kettle on. I wasnt completly sure if she'd tell me the whole story, from when she left to when she got back. I know alot can happen in two days. I walk over to the phone which was flashing because someone had eft a message and clicked the voice message botton.

Hi Anne, it's Ashley here. Im just calling to let you know that the appartment in Manchester is ready, so when ever you have time just give us a call and i will let you know when you can see it and pay the last deposit.

An appartment in Manchester. I was confused on why she was buying an appartment in Manchester when she already has a house here in Chesire and a house in London. I shook my head and redialled mums number, wanting to get to the end of this. 

"What now Harry?" She asks as she answers the phone.

"Ah, Ashley called." I said. "Well left a message saying that your appartments ready." I explained the phone call to her. "Why are you buying an appartment?"

"Oh Harry can you stop stressing and trying to pick a fight over everything."

"No, just tell me why you would need it."

"I dont need it, it was going to be a gift."

"A gift."

"Yes a gift Harry."

"For whom?'

"Do you have to know everything?"

"Yes."

"Well just wait until i come home, im quite busy right now."

"Fine, i'll see you soon." I said before hanging up the phone. I spun around and saw Aly, she was rugged up in a onsie and uggs. I smiled at the beautiful site. "How about you put a movie on and i'll finish making the teas." She shook her pretty little head and walked into the lounge and picked out a movie. She moved so silently and carefully.

((Well guys, i dont know about you but i kinda like this calm Harry aha... anyways a few more chapters until it ends.))
