Chapter 2
"Sara..Wake up? Can you do that for me?" My little girl slept peacefully, a smile pulling at her lips. The picture of happiness laying on the cheap cotton sheets was my inspiration. I'd like to be as strong as my little sister Sara. She had a pinkish tink to her cheeks and her lashes brushed the freckles that were occupying her face. And honey-blonde strands were spread across the contrasting pillow. What a freakin' angel.
"Sarrraaahh! Wakie-Wakie!" I sighed. I went to the window and scooted the shifting panels across the window, exposing the room to light rays of sunshine. I turned around, in time to see a plump nurse walk in the room, checking the machines briefly before turning to me.
"Hey Ellie." I smiled at the nurse whom I have become acquianted with. I wiped welling tears from my eyes and faced her.
"Hello, Jessica. There is a visitor. They're new?" She said confused. I understood, I was just as confused. Nobody besides My mum and I visit.. who would be here?
"Uh, let them in I suppose." I responded cautiously, not really sure what to expect as she nodded and swiftly exit the room. I sat in the chair next to Sara's bed protectively and awaited the unknown visitor. Why am I so worked up? I layed my hand over Sara's signifigantly smaller one. Whoever it was couldn't be a stranger..
My thoughts were interupted by a knock on the door frame and somebody clearing their throat. I looked up to see a head of thick curls and green eyes awkwardly standing in the hall.
"Uh.." I racked my brain for the name. " Harry?" I searched my head for reasons as to why he'd be here.
"Yeah, that's me. I didn't catch your name?" He looked really awkward and I could feel my protective shield melting away.
"I'm Jessica. Jess if you want." I smiled and he seemed to relax a bit. "Go ahead and sit down."
"Alright, Jess. I, uh, just remember about your sister and I came to visit. You know, girl see's her her hero, make her day. That sorta thing." He kinda shrugged it off, then he looked at Sara. He knit his eyebrows together, and he placed himself at the edge of his seat, his elbows on his knees. "But I can see that now may not be the best time?" His eyes returned to me, questioning.
"No, that's not it. You see, I- well we, don't actually know whats wrong with my sister. She comes in and out of a coma and when shes awake she goes through fits of hysteria. But she never feels sick, nothing. She's been in a come for- " My voice broke, and I brought my hand up to my mouth, stopping the flow of tears from overwhelming me. "She's been in a coma for about 6 months." The tears were freely flowing now.
Harry moved his seat next to mine and hesitated before placing his hand on my back and attempting to soothe my sadness. I wasn;t always like this really. I'm actually a very happy person. But Sara was fine for her entire life, how come 2 years ago this started happening?
We sat in silence for a bit, and I really did calm down. Sara would be okay, just look at that smile on her face, and her rosey cheeks.
"You're both very strong, you know. I don't think I could handle it if my sister was going through this. I might call you my idol." He spoke slowly, giving me plenty of time to process his words. But it sounded genuine.
"I appreciate it, Harry. I do, but since that's out of the way.. why did you deciede to come here? I mean, I get the hero thing, but.." I trailed off. "Well what I mean is that I appreciate it, but I really don't know you. Or the rest of your band mates for that matter." I looked at him sideways, studying him to see if he understood. He smiled at me supportively and nodded. Then rubbed his chin, thinking of an answer.
"I really don't know." I just looked at him.
Then I burst out laughing. He looked at me laughing freely and loudly, a smile playing at his lips, but he didn't quite understand.
"Why are you laughing?" He was starting to chuckle, as I continued my fits of laughter.
"Let me just recap. Worldwide sensation comes to the door. 'Oh, hello. Why are you here?' he responds, 'Dunno' " I'm cracking up inbetween words, and eventually Harry comes to it and soons he's laughing, too.
"Okay, okay. I get it." We slide back in our chairs and look at innocent little Sara.
"I miss her." I say simply. Then I grin again and look at Harry.
"Would you like to come with me to meet up with a friend?"
-------------------------
There it is everybody. It seems Jess and Harry have quite the bond forming. Where will it lead when they meet with Baylee?
Okay it's cheesy to be all obvious and mysterious. But I hope you guys will continue reading. I'll update tomorrow hopefully. But I'm leaving for a small vacation before school starts, so I hope I'm not disapointing anybody. (Which I doubt, its the second chapter, and she hasn't even met everybody!) Goodnight! :)
