Simon POV:
I paced the kitchen as Vik sat on the counter chain smoking. We were waiting for Cal to bring Harry back from the hospital to visit us where he'd went for stitches after putting two gashes in each leg. Josh held out a cup of coffee to me and then gave one to Vik. Deji walked in and sat at the table as the room stayed silent with an apparent nervous tension. JJ would be in here but he'd slept through my fit that I had when I first heard the news.
Vik had been the first to suggest Harry stay with us and I had decided to welcome him to stay in my room since there wasn't a guest room anymore. My pace quickened as I thought about Harry all bloody and probably crying. A hand on my shoulder caused me to jerk forward but I quickly steadied myself and saw Vik holding out his pack. I took one and his lighter and with the first drag I coughed badly, but by the third the chemicals were soothing me. Josh just shook his head and got a Dr pepper from the fridge. See, it's all poison in one way or another and I'm pretty everyone's addicted to some shit. It's only that some is less healthy than others. A knock on the door signaled they'd gotten here and I was the first to greet them.
"Hazzy... I'm...so glad you're okay." I told him. He looked like all of his fucking life had been drained.
"Me too." He replied with just as little emotion as his face was showing.
"He, um, he's not to leave anyone's sight for twenty four hours. I could take him back to the apartment but some things got broke and it's still not clean and..." Cal didn't know I'd already decided he was staying here.
"He can stay here. Sure, there's no spare room, but he can have mine." I told Cal as I swear I saw a hint of excitement in Harry's eyes.
"Can I have a drink?" Harry asked even though he'd usually just help himself and I told him what we had.
"I think I'll just be going now to help Lux." Cal said as we gave our goodbyes.
I didn't care that it was sort of weird when I wrapped my arms around Haz. He leaned against me for a moment longer than we normally would. I took his bag he'd brought and he followed me to my room.
"There's not a place to put your things." I explained as he laid down not even getting under the covers.
"It's fine. I'll get stuff as I need it." He told me as I started to leave for the couch because not even coffee was enough to keep me awake.Harry's POV:
I pulled off my shirt and joggers. My stitches were itchy, but I knew I shouldn't mess with them. Simon was being so sweet and I had decided in the hospital I would try to get better without drugs. He shouldn't have to sleep on the couch, but I'm afraid I'd cuddle him if he slept besides me. He was my crush and he was the hottest of the Sidemen, but even if he wasn't I don't know anybody who wouldn't cuddle him when the chance came up. I sighed and cuddled into his blankets as I tried to sleep.

I got up to use the toliet and stopped to stare at myself in the mirror. My skin was significantly paler with black around my eyes from lack of sleep. I looked like a fucking skeleton now. I ran my fingers over my stitches as pain bloomed in my legs. Why had I done this? As I saw the razor, my mind began to race. My body froze as I argued with myself. I need to get Simon, he can stop me. Do I want to be stopped?
"Simon!!!" I yelled when I found my voice.
"Harry, I'm getting him, don't do anything!" I heard Vik yell as I started to cry and shake.
"Bog? I'm here now; please tell me I'm not too late." Simon's voice came from the door.
"You're not... I just needed you." I explained as I unlocked the door.
He quickly hugged me and walked me back to the bed after looking to be sure I hadn't hurt myself. He lifted the blanket as I laid down and he crawled in besides me. I blushed heavily as he gently put an arm around me but I still moved closer to him. He whispered to me that he'd always be there for me and I fell asleep before I could respond.
