The Dark Side

Chapter 10

"Come in!" I greeted Harry and showed the way to the couch.

"I thought I'm gonna be late!" he says and smiles.

"Well, it's just about to start" I say as I turn the volume up on the TV.

It's movie night tonight. I wanted to spend it with someone special, like Harry. He said he's pretty busy today, but he promised that he'll be just in time for the movie. There he is sitting right next to me waiting the movie to start. He runs his fingers through his curls and looks at me I giggled a little as he made a confused face. He was so cute as his curls fell perfectly, his dimples, his green eyes and his perfect smile. He was perfect.

Wait what?

No, no, no. I might like him a little but not too much. He's just cute and adorable. Not perfect. Not anything I love so much.

"It's starting!" I say and turn my head in the Tv's direction.

The movie was romantic and stuff like that. Even though I'm not that 'romance' person I still loved this movie. I was more of an action/thriller movie person. I just loved all the action and explosions. Next thing I knew me and Harry were at a park.

"Isn't the weather wonderful, tonight?" he says and looks at the sky that's full of stars.

"Ye-" I got cot off by his lips pressed to mine.

I felt my blood running faster through my veins. I felt my heart beating faster. It made me feel like I'm flying and like I've just been waken up from a boring dream. Like he just burst the bubble I was trying to hide in the whole time. It was a weird, yet a great feeling.

It made me feel alive.

I didn't want this feeling to end, but it did when he slowly stopped, moving his lips away from mine.

I looked in his eyes. Deep, deep in his eyes. Everything turned black.

It was a dream. Just a dream. But it felt so real. And the kiss, it felt great, not gonna lie. Do I like Harry?

No, he's just a really good friend, right?

I'm stuck in this blackout again with nothing to do, but think. It's like I can't wake up from a dream, which I'm stuck in.

''Laura!'' I heard a voice far, far away.

''Laura!'' the voice was getting closer.

''Laura!'' the voice was a lot closer.

''Laura'' the voice was almost screaming in my ear.

Bright.

Everything turned bright and I could finally open my eyes.

Everything was blurry and my eyelids were pretty heavy, still. Did I just wake up from the undead?

''Laura!'' I heard a voice I was missing so much.

''H-Harry?'' I asked. I heard my own voice, it was quiet and cracking at the end.

''Yes! I'm here!'' I felt a hug. A really tight one. And a raspy, low, yet a cute voice.

''W-what happened?'' My vision was getting better.

''Well, the cloth, remember?''

"Oh, yeah..''

''You didn't get enough fresh air to breathe so you passed out'' he was trying to say it in the nicest way.

''How long was I sleeping?'' I asked.

''For a day. Everyone was worried sick, because your lungs, well, they're...''

''...not normal...'' I helped him say it.

He didn't want to be rude, so I guess, he didn't want to say it. He was literally never rude, except for that day when I passed out. He was in such a hurry, he's always calm and always has time, but I guess it was something important.

''Well, I wont agree, but lets just go with that'' He said. His voice - raspy, low, and h-hot.

I let out a little smile. He smiled back. His smile was just the most adorable thing. He had cute dimples that showed up once he smiled. The smile made him look like a little kitten.

I had little tubes in my nostrils. It was a little ticklish, but I got used to it. They helped my lungs get more air and help them clean out. I remember when I was little I couldn't stop laughing, the little tubes were really ticklish and they made me laugh. The doctor tried to do something, but it was pointless, because I was very ticklish, so this was like a new level of tickling me.

I was in the hospital, I could tell by the blue-ish, grey-ish walls.I've been here before, when we first had a problem with my lungs and when we last had a problem with my lungs. It's been pretty long since the last time. I remember I was really scared, but not as scared as my parents, they were ready to ape shit. Even if I and the doctor said that everything will be fine. Well I was their 'little princess' so I guess it was right to worry, but not that much! After all I lived! I'm still here, safe and sound. I guess. Well I have Harry right beside me so I'm safe, that's for sure.

Wait, my parents.

''Where are my parents?'' I asked nervously.

''Wow, calm down. They're home, safe.'' He said holding my hand tighter.

He was holding my hand already for a while, how did I not notice that? Am I blind? He's holding my hand.

Fuck.

I like it.

''Can you call them or something? I want them to visit me.'' I said it almost demanding. I didn't want to sound like a boss or something, I just missed my parents. And I wanted to make sure that everything is okay.

''Calm down, I'll explain everything when you're calm.'' He said still holding my hand "doctor said that when you're nervous it's harder for your lungs to breathe, so just calm down."

''I'm trying'' I said trying to stop my heart from beating that fast. Maybe him holding my hand got me nervous too?

When I get worried or scared I can't be calm. At least for five minutes or so. It's just, hard, because you don't know the answers and you always think it's something bad But this time I have to try. For Harry.

''Okay, I'm calm.'' I said.

''Okay, well, it's about 2 am and everyone's sleeping, so we actually have to be quiet.'' He said looking at me.

''Oh, and Alana, is she sleeping too?'' Eventhough, I probably knew the answer.

''No, actually. She's waiting in the lobby, for you to wake up.'''He said a little surprised.

''What she is? Why-''

''Shhh...'' I got cut off by Harry.

''He took out his phone and texted someone. He didn't let my hand go. I liked it. Fuck.

I still couldn't stop thinking about the dream, I mean it felt like it actually happened. Like Harry knows it happened. But it didn't. And Harry doesn't know it. Why do I feel sad that it didn't happen? We are only friends. If we even are friends.

My thoughts were interrupted by someone coming in. It was Alana. I was so happy to see her. I missed her so much! But surprisingly not as much as Harry. Her face still had a little bit of worries on it, but her smile was wider than ever. I smiled back.

''Everything will be okay, I promise!'' Alana says smiling at me. I loved to see her smile. She didn't smile very often now, so I was always happy to see her smile.

''I know, it's not the first time here...'' I said as I looked around.

''Yea, uhm, sorry.'' Her eyes were all watery and red from probably crying.

''No, it's okay. It looks like you're the one who needs to calm down.'' I let out a little smile.

Harry still was holding my hand. His hand was worm. It was nice of him to hold it. He didn't want to let go and neither did I.

Wait, what?

I liked it.

I liked it just 'cause friends do that, right? Friends.
