Angel (H.S AU)

Chapter Twelve

I open my eyes and look around, realising that I am still in Harry's hospital room. He is lying next to me, fast asleep and snoring lightly. His arm is still wrapped around me as it was when we fell asleep.

What time is it? I try to look around for a clock, but I can't move much without waking Harry. I decide not to worry, and lay back down. I am surpirsed Harry even let me stay the night with him ... what does this mean for us?

Not long after I close my eyes, a nurse enters the room. "Uhm, excuse me." I open my eyes to see her looking at us strangely. I shake Harry slightly and he wakes up. I motion over to the nurse and he moves his arm off me, looking slightly uncomfortable. I take that as my queue to leave.

I get up from his bed and go to the leave the room.

"Alexa, wait." I turn back to Harry.

"Could you come back in like ten minutes?" He says to the nurse. She rolls her eyes but thankfully leaves the room, giving Harry and I some time to talk. 

"You don't have to leave." Harry says casually as he gets up from the bed. "Um it's okay, I have to get back to work." I don't really have to get to work, I'm sure my shift could easily be covered but I don't know if Harry's kind mood is going to stick around for long. "You don't have any patients, so I'm sure it'll be okay if you're a little late." I havent told Harry yet that I have a new patient. "Actually, I do have a new patient." I tell him. He looks at me and looks somewhat.. angry? "When?" He asks me. "After you left."

"Why didn't you tell me?" He says and I can tell he is annoyed. I am not sure why he is annoyed, did he just expect me to never get a new patient? My job is to look after any patients who need my help, so I am obviously going to do that. "I didn't realise I had to inform you that I have a new patient. You left, so what did you expect?" I can already tell this won't end well at all. "Don't turn this back in me Alexa." He spits at me.

"Why are you even angry about this, Harry? You left, and then you told me you wanted nothing to do with me, remember? But then you found another way to bring me back into your life just so I can be your punching bag. I honestly thought that you were changing, Harry. But I guess I was wrong." He looks away as soon as I say that and I instantly feel bad. I mentall slap myself for saying that. I didn't mean to make it sound like Harry overdosed so I would give him my attention.

"I didn't mean that, Harry." I wish I could rewind back just a few minutes.

"Just go."

"Harry-"

"Just go, Alexa."

"Alright, I'll go. But just remember that I'm not a toy, Harry. You can't play with me and then just throw me out once you get bored. I understand your situation, but I have feelings too." He either is ignoring me or doesn't feel like talking, so I take that as my sign to leave. I don't know what will happen when he comes back to the clinic later today, obviously I will be his nurse, but I'm not sure how he is going to act towards me.

"Harry's here." Natalie says, poking her head in my door. I nod, and take a deep breath. There is no need to stress, it's just Harry. We had a little misunderstanding, but I am sure things will be okay. Maybe I got through to him.. I finish off the paper work I had to do and head out to see Harry. He is in a new room, further down the hall now. 

I punch in the code for his door and push it open. I look in and see him asleep on his bed. I want to wake him and apologise, but I also don't want to give in that easily, for the fear that he will think he can just push me around even more. I just feel so bad for what happened at the hospital.  I guess I will come back later.
