HARRY

I walked back in the hospital room and watched Emma play with her fingers. 

"Hey" I drew out. "I just had to make a quick phone call. But how are you feeling?"

She abruptly let go of her fingers and looked up at me. I can see the anger across her face. "How am i?" She asked angrily. "How am I?" She sang. "I am stressed Harry. I am in pain. I have to worry how I am going to pay this damn bill." 

"I'll take care of it."

"What?" She looked surprised. I don't blame her, I was surprised too. 

"Yeah, I feel bad. I chased you down and I would like to take care of it." 

Emma's jaw was still dropped. She sits up more and winces in pain. "Ow. Okay, that hurt. But no, I can't have you do that. Its just- Geez thats too much."

I walk up to her and grab her hand. She looks down but hasn't pushed me away yet. "I am doing it. I want to." 

"Harry, this is a little too much for me. I mean, you also want to take care of me for a couple days at your place. It's just a little overwhelming for me." 

"Shh. Its okay. Don't think too much right now." I caress her hand and bring it up to my lips. 

Bold move. I know.

"What are you doing?" She whispers as she looks down at our hands. 

"A kind gesture to show you I'm here." I smile at her. God, were her eyes glowing. As much as in pain she was in, they were just such a beautiful shade of green. 

"Yeah, you seem to be giving those out to me a lot and I have been wondering why."

She was right. But, I didn't know why either. I felt so drawn to her. I can't help it. I caress her hand a little more. I'll just play it out but I know I have the need to just care for her. And now I suddenly have the need to kiss her. So instead, I lean down and kiss her forehead. 

"Don't worry about it." I whispered. 

I felt my phone buzz against my pocket and I was hoping it was the P.I. but instead, it was Liam. I hit decline, knowing what it was already about. I let go of Emma's hand real quick and shot Liam a text explaining I would meet him soon. 

"So, the doctor said you should be out in a couple hours. We have a wheel chair ready for you since your body is really weak. Also, the doctor handed me a diet for you so I have some splendid meals in mind." 

"Oh." She looked away from me and turned her body away from me.

"Come on, I know its not ideal but I will help you. Its going to be okay-" My phone started buzzing again and I looked over to see the P.I. instead of Liam. 

"I'll be back. Just give me a minute" I quickly rush out to answer the call. 

"Hey" 

Styles, I got some information with the very little you gave me to work with. 

"Sorry. I was only able to find her birthdate on her hospital bracelet." 

Well, I found out she was born in Sydney, Australia. Looks like she was put into a foster home at the age 5. She was passed down to many foster homes all the way down to Melbourne. She was never adopted and was kicked out after she turned a legal age to be on her own. We have an address of where she currently resides. We have not been able to access a medical record but we are working on it. We should have it in the next couple of days. 

"Thank you so much. Email me the address and I will take a look at it today." 

I hung up the phone and walked in to see Emma sleeping. I decided to take the chance to call Liam and explain what happened.
