Torn (One Direction)

Secrets Don't Make Friends Part 2

{A/N I know, I haven't uploaded in forever. Yell at me as much as you want, go ahead. Like I said before I am SUPER DUPER busy, marching band takes a lot of energy. Plus homework, student council, debate, acting, I'm a busy girl. Please say you'll forgive me!}

I blinked, wincing at the brightness. The boys were in the corner talking in hushed tones. I smiled. They were so cute.

"Hey guys." I said and they turned to look at me with startled expressions.

"You're awake!" Niall said rushing over to me.

"Yep." I said smiling.

"I'll go get the doctor." Liam said smiling at me.

"Okay." I said still smiling. Harry Louis and Zayn were all staring at me. I wrinkled my nose.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I said and then laughed as they took out their phones and snapped a picture.

"Ah, you're awake." The doctor said and I smiled at him.

"Yes sir I am." I said and he laughed.

"Well, sorry to give you bad news but, did you know that you have iron deficiency?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yeah. Why?" I asked and he frowned.

"Have you been taking your pills?" He asked and I nodded again.

"How many milligrams do you take?" He asked and I thought about it.

"I take 200 milligrams of iron every morning and night." I said after thinking for a minute or two..

"Okay well, I'm going to up your dosage to 325 milligrams twice a day." He said and I gasped.

"That's a lot of iron. Why do I need that much? I just got my iron levels checked last month and I was fine then." I said nervously.

"I'm not sure why, or how, your iron levels got so low, so quickly but they did. So, you're going to be taking 325 milligrams of iron twice a day. Also eat a fiber bar with it." He said and I nodded.

"Okay." I said as if it was nothing.

"Okay, I'll go fill out the prescription and give it to you." He said walking to the door. "Oh, and please, be careful. You seem like a girl who has seen enough of hospitals lately." He said and I nodded.

"Okay." I said and then turned to the guys, who were gaping at me.

"Why didn't you tell us you had iron deficiency?" Liam asked and I shrugged.

"I didn't feel the need to tell you guys." I said nonchalantly.

"You didn't feel the need to tell us you had iron deficiency? What else have you not told us?" Harry asked angrily.

"I barely know you guys, why would I tell you everything about me?" I asked pursing my lips.

"Because we care." Zayn said and I rolled my eyes.

"There's a lot I haven't told you guys. It doesn't mean I don't care, because I do. I just don't want to make the same mistakes I did back in America." I said my voice defensive. Their faces fell and I just sat there. The doctor came in handed me my medicine and walked out.

"Secrets don't make friends." Niall said his voice soft and sweet.

I sighed. "I know. There are just some things that are better off as secrets." I said and went to be released.

We got back to the house and I walked inside. Mel leaves for her trip tomorrow and she was staying at a friends so she could be at the airport on time and not have to wake up as early.
