If I Awake

Chapter 13

"Harry!' it's the middle of the night and I was awaken by the vomit coming from my mouth and the pain in my stomach. 'God Harry wake up!"

"Mel, Melanie whats going on?!"

"Take me to the bathroom please."I say as Harry jumps out of bed and runs over and begins to carry me to the bathroom toilet.

"Melanie what's wrong? Why are puking?"

"It's..the ... medicine." It's so hard to even speak.

"What should I do?"

"Just sit here with me."

"Mel I have to get your parents."

"No Harry! if you tell them they will take me to the hospital and they stick a bunch of needles in me and I don't want that right now."

"I have to Mel, are you in pain."

"Don't Harry."

"Melanie, are you in pain?"

"Yes Harry, but only in my stomach."

"I have to get them."

"Harry if you go in there over something this small and I end up going to the hospital I won't forgive you. Please it's only the new medicine."

"I can't just let you sit here in pain and I -"

"Please Harry, don't leave me. Just sit here with me." He stands there for a minute with his hand on his forehead until he finally sits down and rubs my back while I continue to get sick. It was only the medicine, this has happened before. It's the change of it happeneing and I guess it's like my body is getting rid of the old for the new.

I've been doing a new treatment for a month, but I doubt this will work either. I still haven't heard from Aron and I'm not if my parents have told his about whats going on. I miss him, but I can't make him come back and if he does, he may still want me to choose between him and Harry. I can't do that.

As far as I know Harry hasn't said anything to my mom and dad, he helped me clean up the mess that night. He didn't want me to help but I wasn't going to just let him clean up something that was my fault.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asks as we sit on my bed, me cudling to his chest with his arm around me. 

"I'm okay."

"You sure? Want me to get you anything?"

"I'm alright babe, are you okay?" I ask smiling.

"Well, I've been thinking."

"About?" Okay now I'm worried.

"You know the whole sex thing."

"Are you going to have sex with me?"

"No, at least not anytime soon with you being in pain all the time."

"Damn you." Harry laughs.

"Listen babe, just because we're not having sex doesn't mean there isn't other things I could do to please you."

"Like what?"

"Things that won't hurt you, but I'll only do it if you want and if your parents are asleep or not here. Only because I don't want getting caught and your dad trying to hurt me."

"My dad won't hurt you." I laugh.

"Hey, he may you never know. He could have a dark side when it comes to something with his daughter. Dads are tricky that way."

"If you say so, so what are some examples of how you wiull 'please' me and what about me pleasing you?" I say and his cheeks turn red.

"You don't have to do anything to me, I tend to ya know."
