Chapter 2
I wake up to the sun peaking throught my window. Harry is still asleep right next to me and Mary isn't in here. I turn my body to face towards Harry's. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. His lips are slightly parted and he snoring a little. I can't help but giggle.
He smiles and his eyes flutter open.
"Morning sleepy head," I say.
"Good morning beautiful," he smiles a sleepy grin.
"You're funny," I say.
"I am aren't I? But that wasn't a joke my love."
We laugh.
"Mar woke me up earlier and said she was heading out for school," he says.
"Oh alright."
He puts his arm around my waist and pulls me to him.
"Ow," I hiss.
"Shit Pay, I forgot. I'm so sorry," he says moving his arm away.
"No its alright," I say and grab his arm.
I gently place it where it was before.
"I like sleeping with you," he blurts.
"Oh really?" I smirk.
"Mhm," he says playfully.
I starts laughing and he kisses my neck.
"That tickles Haz," I scream, not being able to control my laughter.
He laughs too and gently places a kiss on my lips. I secretly love when he does this. We have been best friends since we were 5 and this isn't the first time we've kissed. It happens quite a lot actually. Of course we don't like eachother like that but when things like this happen, I question that. We hold hands, cuddle, sleep over, and kiss a lot. Some people think we are dating. We get really into it sometimes,but never too far. We've been friends too long for a relationship to ruin it. We do love eachother though.
Sometimes girls get jealous towards me because honestly, Harry is the most attractive person I've seen. A lot of girls like him, but he always turns them down. I'm not sure why though.
"We should go visit your mum," he says.
"Yeah. I think I'll tell her about last night."
"I thinks thats a good idea," he says.
I try to get up but Harry insists on helping me. He rolls out of bed and helps my stand up.
"You feel okay?"
"Yeah."
I actually don't but if Harry knew that, eh would only blame himself more for it.
I walk into my bathroom, which is connected to my bedroom and brush my teeth and hair. Harry comes in a grabs his toothbrush that he keeps here.
I change into a lose t-shirt and leggings and Harry put on a white t-shirt with black jeans.
"Ready?" He asks, running his fingers through his hair.
"Yeah."
We leave the house and he opens the truck door for me to slide in. He shuts my door and gets in.
"Shall we listen to your favorite Mrs. Langston?"
"We shall," I smile.
He slides in my Jamie Scott CD that I keep in his car. We saw him in concert in the summer.
We get in about three songs before we pull up to the hospital. Harry makes me wait in the car while he walks around to open my door. He insists on doing this every time we ride together which is more than twice a day.
"Thank you," I smile.
"My pleasure," he smirks.
He grabs my hand and we walk in straight to her room. A nurse is in there talking to her but leaves when she see us.
"Hi honey!" my moms face lights up.
"Hey mom," I smile.
"And hello Harry," she smiles.
"Hi Mrs. Langston," he says.
"Where's your dad and Mar?" she asks.
"Mar went to school this morning."
"Oh good! And your dad?"
"Um, he's.. probably at the store right now. We don't have a lot of food at home," I laugh.
I glance at Harry and he's looking at the ground.
"Oh okay, I haven't seen him or heard from him since you all left together last night."
"Oh, weird."
"So how are you Harry?" she asks him.
"I'm fine," he says, "How do you feel today?"
"I feel kind of weak. I have my first round of chemo in 20 minutes so you kids should leave soon. I don't want you to see me like that," she sighs.
"Oh," is all I manage to say.
"Are you okay honey? I know this is a lot to deal with."
"Yeah, I'm fine."
I can feel Harry's eyes on me. He knows thats a lie.
"Bye mum," I say and kiss her forehead.
"I love you honey," she says.
"I love you."
I start walking out and I hear her tell Harry to take care of me.
He catches up with me and puts his hand on the small of my back.
"You're not okay," he says.
"How did I know you were gonna say something?"
"Because I know you too well, you know me too well," he smiles.
"I just couldn't tell her. She's already going through so much."
"I know," he sighs.
We are out at his truck and he gently puts my back against it and starts kissing me.
I immediately kiss him back, his tongue reaching into my mouth. I start to smile.
"What?" he says when he opens the door for me.
"Oh nothing," I say in a singsong voice.
"Tell mee," he whines.
"I like kissing you," I admit.
I'm not afraid to tell him anything.
"I like it too," he says leaning over from the drivers seat to kiss me again before backing out of the parking space.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"I think my mum wants to make us lunch."
"Ooo yay," I smile at the thought of her home cooked meals.
"I knew you would like that," he says setting his hand on my thigh.
He sings along to the song Free by Jamie Scott. He has the most beautiful voice. It makes me really happy. I set my hand on top of his and I see his smirk. He has the biggest dimples and they are adorable.
To get to Harry's we have to pass my house. When we do, there are 3 police cars waiting outside it with a tow truck that has my dad's wrecked truck on it.
"Pull over," I tell Harry.
We get out and the police rush to us.
"Is your father Tim Langston?" one of them asks.
"Yes."
"He got into an accident. He was drunking driving and killed two other people along with himself," they say.
