Warmth Of Your Touch (Part 2:Blink Of An Eye)

Chapter 8: Going Downhill.

Harry's P.O.V.~~~~~

By the time my eyes open back up,I realize its now early morning from the look of the dark blue sky. Attempting to lift myself up, I'm stopped from a sharp pain poking my lower back,Telling my i didn't sleep to well on the hospital chair.

Slowly lifting myself from the wooden seat,I immediately move my eyes to meet Serena,Who is sound asleep,Causing the only notice in the room is the beeping and noises from the working machinery.

Stretching my way to the bathroom,Trying my hardest to remove the knot throbbing at my lower back.

"Your already up?" Startled from the voice,I turn to see a groggy Serena rubbing her eyes in wait of a reply.

"Yeah. Couldn't sleep. You know how uncomfortable the chairs are." She nods.

"How do you feel?"

"My head hurts." Walking my way to her side,I now notice the sound of her hoarse voice,Along with the sniffling from her nose.

"Your also sick. Just what you need. Who knows how long you were laying there in that water. Surprised you don't have hypothermia" Biting her lip,I see she has no response.

"Gooood morning guys." We both turn and greet mornings to Dr.Marshall,as he applies white gloves as he makes his way over to her bed.

"How are you feeling this morning?"

"My head hurts.My throat is sore,and my nose is runny." Taking her chin as he has her face him,Checking her throat along with her head.

"Well,I can hear it in your voice. Were getting you in for a MRI and CAT scans in a few hours. Until then,Lets get you something to eat." We nod.

"What do you want?" Her finger meets her mouth as she shows me her heavy thinking in what she wants,and i cant help but giggle.

"Can i have a...Bagel and cream cheese?"

I laugh. "Of course. Ill be back in a few." Reaching down and kissing her head,Before i leave to get break feast.

~~~~~~~~~~

After hours of waiting,The scans are done. We lay in her bed,And i can tell by the look in her eyes shes tired,And I'm pain.

"Does it hurt?" She nods. Running my fingers through her curly hair,Letting the strands fall through my fingers,Along with the scent of her shampoo.

After minutes of this,I feel her head plant itself in my neck,As i feel the colar of my shirt begin to get wet,And i soon realize shes crying.

"It hurts soo much."

"I know babe. I know." Rocking her in my arms,I cant help but feel hopeless in the realization i cant do a thing to help. Moving her ear from my head,I call out to a nurse,Minutes later she appears

"Shes in a lot of pain." Nodding her head,She begins to add different things to her IV,as i try my best to comfort her.

Serena's P.O.V.~~~~~

After a hour or so,I feel the affect of the drugs sink in,With the relief of the pounding of my head.

Feeling the circles being made on my back,I think of all that's being affected of my hospitalization. The wedding. The tour. The boy's upcoming events. The attention Molly needs from her just being months from her due date,And i cant help but be infuriated of the luck i have. Haven't i had enough?

"Knock,Knock" My eyes open from the sound of the Doctor,Holding a Manila envelope,as Harry sits me up as he does so.

"Well,I have the results for you." Feeling the joining of fingers,I feel Harry's kiss being planted on my head. We nod,Showing him to continue.

"Alright,Guys,I told you from the beginning that it wasn't going to be easy. Its tragic to say,Cases as serious as this follow your through out your life,and its just something that happens." My eyes roam to my hand,As i feel the grip being put on it increase,As well as the tension between our bodies.

"Well,As you can see in this picture,It doesn't look right. You see that white circle?" Pointing to it,We both nod.

"Well...That's..That's a tumor. Now,It defiantly is not at a cancer stage,so,that's out of the way." I notice from the movement of Harry,he is taking it worse than i am.

"But...Um.."

"Just say it already!" I'm startled from the joining of Harry's voice,As i shush him away,Wrapping my arm around his neck from behind.

"Its at a part of the brain that's deeper than where we operate,And is the most dangerous to touch."

Before he can continue, Turning to meet Harry,I see the first tears drop from his eyes,And all i think about is making him feel better,And taking all the pain away.

Wiping his tears from my eyes,As he just pulls me in his arms,Causing my heart to throb with pain from the sound of his sobs so close to my ear.

"But i love you so much." He almost seems to spit out the words,Before he just breaks deeper and deeper.

As does the opening hole in my heart.
