Finding Harry

chapter 3

Harry is standing in my hospital room. I'm not sure what to do so I just stare at him. My heart is racing and I still have sweat on my face from the dream. Even though it's dark I can see his eyes. They are almost like emeralds looking right at me. They seem to shine when the moonlight hits his face. I blink a few times to make sure im actually awake.

He must think I'm crazy for just staring at him and he breaks the awkward silence by saying, "What were you screaming about?" I can't help but turn red at the question. I hope the darkness conceals my face because my mouth has a mind of its own.

"you actually. About the accident." His eyes widen and shock is evident on his face. I debate in my head about if it was ok to say that. I look up to apologize when something catches me off guard.

His fists are clenched and his head is down, but that doesn't stop me from seeing the tears running down his face. I sit there qith my mouth open and am gawking at the situation like an idiot trying to form words. "I'm so sorry.so sorry...so sorry..." He keeps repeating himself and a knot forms in my stomach when I see the emotional pain he's suffering.

"Please don't be upset, it's not your fault." Is all I can manage to get my mouth to say. He looks up at me and the pain in his eyes cause me to connect with his emotions and I could almost feel what he was feeling for a brief moment. I reach to grab his hand, but wince in pain when I lift it.

He rushes to the side of my bed and says some jumbled up words between sniffs, "are yoo..alrigh...sorry this....haa..ppend ....to you" I give him a reassuring smile and he mumbles a goodnight and rushes back out of the room.

Why was he still here? Dies he have somewhere to sleep? A million thoughts run through my head at what just happened. Had he just came in my room and started crying. When he touched my hand his warmth fillled my body. I could still feel the place where he touched me. And those eyes, those green eyes that... what am I thinking right now?

He is a rich celebrity that I pushed out of the way of a car, that's it. He doesn't know me and I don't know him. The only thing I know is that he is probably just here looking good for the papers.

"I'm sorry" his voice keeps replaying in my head. He sounded genuine and he cried when no one was watching but me? He wasn't the one driving so why would he be sorry? My mind wanders as I lose myself in slumber.

"Katherine" I hear a voice whisper. "it is Katherine, right?" My eyes flutter open as I find the eyes of Harry, and I nod with a flustered look on my face. Did I just dream what happend last night?

There are giant bags under his eyes. I wonder if he got any sleep last night? "I brought you some breakfast," he announces with a smile. His teeth are pefect and white as could be. I can't help but smile back. He picks up a plate of pancakes with a bottle of syrup. I can't help but giggle as I take in the site before me, "where did you get this?" I ask. He smirks and says, "I went home and made it. I hope you like pancakes."

He begins to second guess himself. "Wheres the blueberries I tease him. His eyes widen, "I can go to the store and buy you some-" I cut him off, "I was just kidding, take it easy," I say with a laugh. He smiles and shakes his head sheepishly. I thank him again and dig in.

"OH..MY...GOSH...where did you learn to cook?" He smiles approving his work and explains, "I used to work in a bakery and picked up a few trade secrets from my mum." He smiles as if reminiscing on the past.

"How are you?" I ask as his head whips to face me sbapping him out of his memory. "I've been better, but how are you?" I roll my eyes playful as if it isn't obvious,"considering I was hit by a car, I've seen better days." He frowns and looks away.

I find myself longing for his attention even though I just met him. I blurt out without thinking, "where you here all night?" He looks at me with astonishment and surprise in his eyes, "I didn't think you would remember.." he trails off. "Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I just thought I dreamt that or something ummm" I mentally smack myself in the face 'stupid stupid stupid'. " he looks at me amused as I scrunch my nose and smiles again and I can't help but reciprocate.

He looks at his watch and purses his lips, "it was nice talking with you Katherine, but I have to go, can I see you again?" He asks with a grin. I'm not sure I heard that correctly, did he seriously just ask to see me again, play it cool kat, "yeah, I would like that." With that he smiles and leaves the room. I let out a breath of air I didn't know I was holding and smile to myself.
