"Harry? Mr Styles?" I looked up, the bright light of the room blinding me, I saw a tall blond woman crouching in front of me, her long hair tied back into a ponytail. I quickly looked around and found I was curled up in a ball, my back against the vending machine.

"We're taking Miss Bond down for her MRI in a few minutes and she's asked that you go with her" She smiled softly and stood up.

"What time is it?" I asked and pulled myself up off the hard cold floor. She looked at the small watch attached to the pocket on the chest of her blue shirt. I stretched my arms and legs and crooked my neck, trying to wake up properly.

"10:45 am" She smiled. "We really must go now" She spoke and began to walk away. I followed her through numerous corridors and up two flights of stairs. Hospitals are so confusing, they're like a series of mazes stuck together in one large building.

"She's already in there, if you could take any metal off, this includes watched, jewelry and belts and place them in this locker then you can go straight in" She smiled again and walked into the big empty room. Well I say empty, there was a large circular machine with a hole in the middle, Arianna laying on a small plastic board at the end of it and a small plastic chair at the side.

I took off my belt and my small bracelet that we got from management, when our first single reached number one, and placed them in my appointed locker.

I pushed open one of the double doors and waled towards Arianna and the blond nurse. I grabbed Arianna's hand making her look up at me. Her face drained of all colour and her breathing quickened.

"Get him out of here!" She almost screamed. My heart dropped, was she scared of me? why? 

"He's alright Arianna, you asked for him to be here, he wont hurt you", no body will" the nurse rubbed the top of her arm soothingly.

"Not Harry, him, Josh, get rid of him Harry" She sat up straight and clutched tightly onto my side, her head pressed firmly against my ribs. I turned my head to see that nobody was there.

"He isn't here babe, he's gone, he can't hurt you anymore" I kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back.

"He isn't, he's right there!" She began panicking, her fingers digging into my side and back.

"Miss I'm going to have to ask you to lie back down and stay calm so we can take the pictures okay?" The nurse spoke said gently, ushering her back onto the small pillow at the top of the board. Arianna did as she was told, reaching out for my hand and holding onto it as though her life depended on it.

"Now it's going to get very loud okay, so if you like we can give you a set of headphones to listen to the local radio?" Arianna shook her head.

"Are you sure, like I said, it does get very loud in there" She raised an eyebrow at her.

"No, I'll be okay" Arianna's eyes flitted around the room, clearly something was bothering her; well someone...Josh. She was really beginning to scare me.

"Okay the process usually takes from twenty minutes to an hour, it depends on if we find anything. You also need to keep tight hold of this, if you get scared or you feel like you need to get out as soon as possible, just click this button and we'll stop everything" She placed a small tube type shape with a red button on top into Arianna's hand before she pressed something on the side of the MRI machine, making the board Arianna was lying on move forward so her head was inside. The nurse then walked out of the room and into a smaller room with a glass panel in front of it so we could see her and she could still see us.

I moved the chair up slightly so I could reach forward and hold her hand for support. I intertwined my fingers with hers and leant forward so I could kiss each of her knuckles. She tightened her grip on my hand as loud bangs and buzzes erupted from inside the machine. The nurse wasn't lying, this thing really was loud. I was sure I'd be leaving this room with a headache.
