The Social Reject

Chapter 7 : Having.A.Name

Mum and I were at the hospital sitting in the chairs of the waiting room. Dad had to get surgery on his neck because Hugh somehow cracked a muscle inside. And there are also a lot of swallow areas in his esophagus and he could easily choke to death if surgery doesn’t go quickly and steady. Mum and I didn’t talk the whole time. She wouldn’t even tell me what happened with Hugh and Dad. She was still shaken up about the situation. I didn’t bother to speak towards her.

“Natalie!” I looked over at the entrance and saw Harry walking towards me. I stood up from the seat and he was already in front of me. I gave him a quick hug and backed away from him. I didn’t even think he’ll show up at the hospital.

“I just needed to come to see if everything was alright,” Harry said. I smirked at him.

“Everything is fine. Well sorta. Dad has a cracked muscle in his neck so he needs surgery. He has a few bruises on his face, but everything else is fine,” I said.

“I’m glad. I gotten a little worried,” Harry said. I nodded my head.

“Thanks for coming,” I said.

“No worries,” Harry said. There was a slight pause. “Is that your Mum?” Harry asked.

I turned my head around towards my Mum. She was looking right at us, her arms and legs crossed. There was a small smirk to her lips. I turned back around towards Harry.

“Yeah,” I said.

Harry went around me and I followed behind him. He walked towards Mum and she stood up, uncrossing her arms.

“Hello Mrs. Carter, I’m Harry Styles, ...” -Harry looked at me and then back at Mum.- “...Natalie’s boyfriend, and I heard about your husband. I’m so sorry,” Harry said.

Wait. What? He basically just called me his girlfriend. I cleared my throat and looked at Harry. What was he going with this?

“Wow. I didn’t know Natalie had a boyfriend. Sweet. And thank you for the sorry. But I know he’ll be fine. Thank you again,” Mum said. I looked back at her. She had a smile on her face. I took out a sigh.

“Mrs. Carter, your husband is now in the care unit. It’s okay to go see him now,” I looked over and saw the doctor giving her a friendly smile. I looked back at Mum and she nodded her head.

“I’ll be with you in a second Mum,” I said. Mum nodded her head and walked away, going down the hallway and through the double doors. Harry then turned around and looked at me.

“Since when I was called your girlfriend?” I asked. Harry smiled at me.

“Just now. I wanted to ask if you wanted to be before we arrived at your flat,” Harry said. Awe sweet.

“How am I going to be your girlfriend, if I don’t even have your number?” I asked, sitting down in the chair.

Harry sat down next me and handed out his hand. I frowned at him and he still held out his hand. I took my phone out my pocket and handed it to him. He added a new contact on my list and put his number and name in it. Then he took a picture with my phone and handed it back to me. I looked at the picture and saw his big smile  with his dimples showing and his hand holding up a thumbs up. I laughed a little and put my phone back in my pocket. I looked back at him and handed out my hand. Harry took out his phone and laid it on my hand. I took it and put my name and number in it. I then took a picture and handed his phone back to him. Harry looked at his phone and smiled.

“Beautiful,” Harry said, and looked at me. I smiled back at him. Nobody called me beautiful before. This actually changed everything.

I stood up from the chair and Harry did the same, while putting his phone back in his pocket.
