Lovers Quarrel (Darry AU)

When I Wake

Harry's POV-
    The darkness overtook me. It was like a wave of relief. Like everything was going to be okay. It filled all of my senses. I couldn't smell. Couldn't hear. Couldn't feel. I felt free for the first time. I had blacked out before but this was different. At those times I relied on my parents. On there imaginary love for me. But those words. The words that my uncle said...

No wonder your parents didn't want you.

In the darkness, I started to believe in my uncle's words. "Harry, no one will ever love you" "Harry, you're a waste of space" "Harry, your nothing better than trash"

I believed it. I really didn't have anything to live for. Not for my parents. Not for them. Not for me. I only had the darkness and a mysterious school.

That's what I held onto. I said to myself in the darkness, 'I need to get to that school. To the one place that wants me. I needed to wake up. I needed to get up and fight to get there.' But, the darkness was just so relaxing. It had already consumed me and it was too late now. All I could do was wait.

When I woke, I was expecting to see the bottom of the wooden steps, with the small light bulb attached to them. I expected to feel the pillow that contained my biggest hope under it. I expected to smell the mold growing on the walls. Except when I opened my eyes I saw pure white. The kind of white that hurts your eyes. I felt a soft pillow, unlike the one I had in the little room. I smelt a kind of clean smell. The kind of smell I have only smelt once.

I was in the hospital. The only time I have ever been to one was when Dudley broke his arm. He had tried to jump off the house roof into our neighbor's pool. Let's just say he didn't even make it out of his backyard. I mean gravity is not that dudes friend. I got a bad beaten that day because I laughed at him. I mean it was really funny. The entire way to the hospital I was laughing. Between my aunt calling him sweet cheeks to my uncle yelling at me to stop. I really couldn't stop laughing. I take all the little moments of happiness I can get.

The hospital was only like 20 minutes away from there house. I remembered the red "t" on the emergency entrance door. And, the doctor that wrapped his fat arm in a blue cast. It was a magical place. A place that didn't judges you. I have only ever been to school. Or, the store. Because they always left me at home ever since I was 11. The zoo was the last place that I have been that you could classify as "fun." I didn't even know what happened. The snake just crawled out of the tank! How was that my fault? They say I'm bad luck and I can't be trusted anywhere anymore.

"Harry?" I heard a voice say. My thoughts come back to me. The white light. The smell. The feel. I felt calm. Like I had a sheet of relief on my body. I didn't even feel the punches like I normally did. It was nice.

"Harry?" I heard the voice again "Hunny, are you awake?" It wasn't a voice I have ever heard. It was a female. But, not my aunt. It was probably a nurse or a doctor. So I opened my eyes.

The lights are still on. They burned my eyes as I looked around the room. I took in the machine that I just realized was beeping. I took in the blue curtains covering the window and, more curtains covering the other side of the room. I see the Tv. I see a lady in blue paper thin sweat pants and a matching top. She had brown skin and black hair that was up in a bun. I grew very fond of her. She had a notebook in her hand. She was looking at me. Making eye contact with me. But, she broke it when I spoke. Walking over to the machine next to my bed.

"W-Where is my uncle?" I asked "And, w-what is going on here? And, why am I here? And, w..."

"I'll send the doctor in here to answer all of your questions. I don't know very much but, I can tell you that your uncle and your aunt are in handcuffs right now for child abuse," she said while pressing buttons on the matching. I was shocked. Was what they were doing child abuse? Could I have gotten out of there years ago just by picking up the phone and dialing 911?

"I know that it must be a lot for you to handle," she says, grabbing my arm and to put an inflatable ring on it. I remembered they put one of these on Dudley when he came.

I think that she picked up my confusion because she told me that it takes my blood pressure and that everything was going to be okay. She started to ask me how I was feeling and said that she gave me a sleeping sedative to help me get my strength back up. I tried to ask what that meant but sleep started to wrap around my head practically answering my question. Then, I fell into sleep.
