Apex- AU HS FANFIC

Chapter 33

"What? Harry that's a really big accusation to be throwing around." My mom said as she came in but I shook my head. 

"I have the fruit cup still. I didn't finish it. It's in the fridge behind the salads. Bring it. I want it tested. If it's the same poison found inside of me we'll know." 

"If it's the same fucking poison he's dead." Harry growled and I glared at him. 

"No. Babe, you need to calm down." 

"Do not fucking tell me to calm down when you've been poisoned! I almost fucking lost you! Do you have any idea the amount of pain I've been through in the last two fucking days? I lost you 9 times. 9. That's how many times your fucking heart stopped. Do not fucking tell me to calm down because I am fuming." Harry growled and I stared at him. 

"I need you to, Harry. I'm not going to talk to you if you don't." He furrowed his eyebrows, leaning over and pressed a kiss to my lips. 

"You have no idea the love and respect I have for you." He whispered, taking a deep breath and calmed down some. 

"Go get the cup." My mom told Josh who practically sprinted out the room for it. 

"I'm sorry." He whispered before kissing my head. He sat back down beside me and we awaited Josh. 

"Am I able to be discharged? I don't want to be here." I asked the doctor who waited in my room with us. 

"Yeah, I don't see why not. You're obviously fine. Go ahead and get changed." He said after checking my vitals. 

"I just need someone to be with you at all times and take your meds for the next few days. No school till next week." 

"I think that's your department." My mom said to Harry who laughed. 

"I'll be with her." He assured as I got my clothes and changed. I felt weird when I slid on my clothes. I felt weak. My body was thinner. My bones were more prominent. My skin more pale. I didn't look like myself. I peed which felt nice considering I hadn't used the bathroom in over two days.

I paced around the room. "Grace I think you should sit." My mom reasoned but I shook my head. "No, I've been in bed for 3 days straight. I need this." I said and she sighed, nodding. I looked at Harry who was already looking at me. 

"Got it." Josh panted as he came in holding the cup. The doctor immediately took it to the lab. 

"We'll have the results in about 20 minutes." He said and I nodded. I looked at Harry who nodded, walking with me to the waiting room where the rest of my family awaited. They all jumped up, hugging me with their own tears slipping. 

"What happened?" My dad asked, hugging me. I just froze. 

"I was poisoned. We're getting more information in about 20 minutes." I said and everyone's faces fell. Nick's face looked hurt. 

"Who?" 

"Don't want to put suggestions out right now." Harry said as he pulled me down to sit with him on the bench against the wall. My legs were on his lap. His hands on my legs. The usual position we felt comfortable in. 

"She's fine." Harry warned his mom and sister as they rushed over to me upon arrival. "Hi." I smiled weakly as I hugged them. 

"Thank god you're alright! We were so worried!" Anne said and I smiled. "Thank you for worrying but I'm fine." I promised as they took a seat next to my mom. Harry closed his eyes when he felt me lay my head on his arm. 

"Sleepy?" He asked, not even opening his eyes. 

"Extremely. We're taking a nap when we get home." He smiled at me, opening his eyes to look at me. "I like the sound of that. God that sounds amazing. It sounds stupid but I miss your room. Your bed. I miss it more than I miss my own." 

"It's not stupid. You're pretty stupid for loving me but what you just said isn't stupid." I smirked as he glared at me. 

"Oh yeah?" 

"Yeah." 

"Ha, jokes on you. I love that little dweeb from school I told you about. The super hot one with an attitude." 

"The one with the ugly vans and crop top?" I played along and he laughed. 

"Yeah, she wears her hair down all the time? She likes to eat on the stairwell during lunch like a weirdo. She's always eating fruit." He scoffed in disgust. 

"Oh, when she plays volleyball? The worst." I scoffed and Nick frowned. 

"Are you just going to continue to let him cheat on you and you act like nothing's wrong?" He asked, completely confused and angry. 

"They're talking about her." Josh interjected, yawning. 

"What?" Nick asked and Harry chuckled. 

"I call her a dweeb. She's my dweeb. She wears crop tops and vans. She's captain of the volleyball team, she eats on the stairwell during lunch so she can do homework in silence and peace. She eats fruit in every single one of her classes. She has an attitude about everything. I wouldn't cheat on your sister. It's literally impossible. We're being dorks." Harry said and all my brothers relaxed, chuckling. 

"He's being a dork. I'm not." I said and Harry smacked my leg making me whimper. "Ouch." "It didn't hurt." "I know." I laughed. 

"Results are in." The doctor said coming over. I knew the answer by his voice. 

"What is it?" Harry sat up and he shook his head. 

"We've identified the chili to be rat poison with red food coloring. Jerry very much indeed did try to kill you. We haven't called the police because I know how your family is when it comes to eachother so do with the information as you wish." The doctor spoke and Harry tensed. 

"I'm going to fucking kill him. Mom, drive her home. Josh." Harry stood up and him and Josh exited the hospital, ignoring my pleas for them to come back. 

Fuck, Jerry, what did you do?
