The New Girl

Chapter 68 - Things to think about.

Aurora Jones.

The clock on the nightstand next to me read 4:30 PM, which didn't surprise me. I have no idea when I was finally able to go to sleep last night. The last memory that surfaced into my brain kind of kept me tossing and turning.

I wasn't surprised of my restlessness. How could I sleep comfortably after remembering something like that? I still couldn't believe I practically threw myself at Harry or how much of a gentleman he was that night, but it kind of relieved me. He could've easily taken advantage of the situation, but he didn't.

The images of that memory continuously replayed in my mind throughout the remainder of the night. No matter how many times I've tried to deny this happened, I knew I couldn't. The tension between us yesterday and everything that he said confirmed Harry and I aren't just close friends. Something happened between us and as much as I don't want to admit it, I feel something when he's around me.

The sudden knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned my attention and noticed my handsome nurse standing in at the door, "Glad you're awake, Miss. Jones. How are you feeling?" He asked flashing me his perfect smile.

At least the hospital blessed me with a beautiful man to tend to my every need, "I'm okay. Thanks, Ryan." I smiled.

He nodded, "It's what I'm here for, Miss Jones. I'm glad you're feeling better. Your friends have been asking to see you since this morning."

I nodded, "I'm okay. Can you please send them in?"

Ryan nodded before walking out the room.

Even though it was clear that Harry was no longer going to visit me, I still felt a slight hope that he came with everyone today. All I have to do is ask for him, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to face Harry... especially with what I just remembered yesterday.

I slowly stood from my bed and walked over to the window.

I was way too harsh yesterday and all Harry was trying to do was help me out. I took advantage of that and ended up hurting him all because I was too embarrassed and stubborn to admit I feel something towards him. As confused as I am about everything, I was absolutely sure there was something there... whether I want to admit it or not.

Even then, I can't continue with something I know nothing about. My heart may feel something, but my head isn't in sync with it. I can't just allow myself to fall for someone I know nothing about, even if all those memories are just lost in my mind.

The sound of footsteps could be heard and Ryan gasping, "Miss. Jones! Please sit back down, remember what happened the last time you pushed yourself." He scolded.

I rolled my eyes and sighed, "I know, Ryan." I sighed before laying back down on my bed.

Once I was comfortable, I looked up to find a group of familiar faces. They all had the same expression on their face and the dark circles under their eyes didn't help make me feel any better. I can't believe just how worried these guys were about me.

I looked at everyone and felt a wave of disappointment rush through me. Harry wasn't with them. I shouldn't even be this upset, I knew he wasn't going to come. He made it very clear he wouldn't come unless I asked him to.

Sabrina, Liam, Niall, and even Jennifer and Zayn were standing before me. I couldn't believe these guys waited all night to see me. I was disappointed Louis wasn't with them, but I'm pretty sure he and Harry are doing some talking of their own. At least I hope he was with Harry.

"Hey, guys." I smiled as they made their way over to me.

"Don't act so casual about this whole situation, Jones. We've been worried sick." Sabrina exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around me.
