Dream Breaker

Chapter 24

I smile at Harry when he walks in. I watch him pull a chair and drag it next to me.

“I’m fine Harry.” His face is too pale to respond. We stare at each other for a few minutes and I know he doesn’t believe. What can I say to convince him?

“I know you’re not okay. Why would the doctor want to talk to you alone?” he finally says. I look away and I start to fidget.

“Because… he just wanted to prescribe some medicine to help me get better. And in a few days I’m back on my feet.” I say trying to smile. He only shakes his head.

“Then why did your face paled a little? Something’s wrong. You know you can tell me anything.” I really could but not this. How can I tell the boy I love that my death is coming sooner than he thought?

“That’s the thing there’s nothing to say. I’m okay.” For now…

“Okay.” He finally says. I know he gave up interrogating me.

“Harry what time is it?”

“Uhmm….. 8:30 pm…Why?” he asks. And I know he hasn’t gotten some sleep.

“Because you need sleep.”

“Awwww Delilah no I don’t. I’m okay really.” I know he’s lying.

“Nope you can go home or you can lay down here next me.” I say. His face turns to a smirk.

“You need me huh babe.” I laugh at his comment. He can be perverted sometimes.

“Shut up Harry and lay down next to me.” I say. I move a little and my body aches from the movement but I try my best to not make it noticeable.

“I’m going to hurt you Delilah. I can squish you and….” I roll my eyes.

“I don’t care!” I say. Please Harry do this for me.

“Okay.” He says. He takes off his shoes and lies down next to me. He puts head nearby my chest and puts his long arms around my waist.

“I love you Delilah.” He murmers. A few seconds later I could hear his soft snoring.

“I love you too.” I say and kiss his curls. I will always love you…. I guess to death. I feel my eyes shut a little and before I know it I’m asleep.

I wake up a few hours later and I see the lights are dim. I feel Harry’s warm breath by my neck and a feel of relief. But when I look to my right I see my grandma. I feel myself start to shake.

“What do you want?” my trembling voice getting the best of me.  I watch her get up and walk next to me.

“My dear you weren’t supposed to pick up his cell phone last time. You were not supposed to go to school that day either. But you changed everything. So now you’re here sick and leaving this poor boy without his love. Tsk Tsk. Fate has finally beaten you. I’m sorry my child but I don’t make the rules I’m just the person who warns those who need help. See you soon my child.” She says before leaving me. I feel my body start to tremble and I know I can’t do anything about what’s about to come. I guess Harry feels the trembling and he opens his eyes. I look straight ahead and I can’t look at him.

“What’s wrong? Are you in pain? I’m going to get the doctor.” He says getting up but I pull him down.

“I don’t want to sleep. I just….uhm…I had a nightmare.” A nightmare that would never end…

“It’s okay babe I’m here for you. Shhh I’m here.” He says and hugs me trying to soothe me. Eventually he soothes himself that he falls asleep. I laugh inside trying not wake him up. I do fall asleep but it was a nice dream. It was a dream where Harry and I were normal and there wasn’t anything to stop it.
