I ___ you

Antibiotics

"How much did you hear?" He asks me. I knew I was a bad fake sleeper but I didn't think he would figure it out.

"All of it" I admit flipping over to face him standing over me.

"I'm going to die" I say.

"No you aren't" he says.

"You heard the doctor, he says that there is a very low chance that I'll survive. You can't deny that he said that" I say.

"I don't care what he says you're going to be just fine and you have nothing to worry about" he replies. He gently picks me up and brings me over to the desk. He sits me down in a chair and opens the laptop.

"Alright, how about we do school while you're feeling up to it and if you start to get tired we can watch clueless" he says.

"Okay" I say. Clueless is my absolute favorite movie and I like to do school most of the time. We work through half of the history work that I have left and soon the doctor comes in with Greta and another nurse.

"Are you ready?" Dr. Fitz asks. I nod and he cleans my arm off with a wipe. The nurse carefully pushes the needle into my skin as I tightly squeeze Harry's hand. Once the nurse has the needle in she hooks it up to the rolling hook that holds the antibiotics. The doctors leave and I turn back to Harry.

"Are you feeling tired?" He asks.

"Not more than I already was" I say. I realize that I'm still squeezing his hand an I loosen my grip slightly.

He looks toward our phones as one of them starts ringing. Neither of us has gotten a phone call besides my mother calling over the course of the last few days.

He gets up and walks over to the counter. Apparently my phone is the one ringing and he picks it up. He makes a very disgusted face.

"What's wrong?" I ask, "who is it?"

"Jackson" he says harshly and my heart jumps into my throat.

He surprisingly hands me the phone. "Tell me what he said after" he says.

I nod and swipe to answer the call as Jackson walks over to make himself coffee.

"Hello" I say.

"Hi Gracie" he says.

"Don't you dare call me that" I snap.

"I'm so sorry for everything" he says.

"No you aren't" I retort.

"I really am and I want to make it all like it was before" he says.

"Jackson-" I say as he cuts me off.

"Please just let me have you back" he says.

"I have a boyfriend Jackson" I say.

"Really who is it?" He asks

"Harry" I respond immediately.

He starts to laugh as he says, "that was just a dare. I didn't think he would really do it"

"What are you talking about?" I ask him.

"The day before New Years is guys got together. We were daring each other to do shit with girls and Leo dared Harry to get you to have sex with him. He's probably just dating you to get in your pants" he says.

"That can't be true" I say.

"Ask him yourself then. Anyways I'll leave you alone but let me know if you'd like to take me up on the whole date thing. Bye" he says hanging up.

I look at Harry and set down my phone. He walks over and sits in the chair next to me.

"So What was his deal?" He asks.

"Oh I don't know. Wait yeah I do. He was letting me know that your only in it to get into my pants" I practically yell.

"Oh my god the nerve of that bitch" he says.

"Is it true?" I ask in the verge of tears.

"Absolutely not" he starts, "when they dared me to fuck you I said that wouldn't ever do that as a dare to anyone. You can call anyone that was there that night and they can tell you that I didn't take the dare."

"Fine. Call Leo right now on your phone home and ask him about it" I say. He goes and gets his phone from the counter and hands it to me. I unlock it with the password he gave me months ago and call Leo, putting him on speaker phone.

"Hello?" He says.

"Hey man I gotta ask you a random question" Harry says.

"Sure whats up?" He asks.

"That one night that we were daring each other to do random shit, and you dared me to fuck grace, what did I say?" Harry asks him.

"You said some stupid shit about how no girl should be treated like that and how you'd never do that to her without being completely in love with her. Then you whispered some shit to me about how you think that you might be in love with her but she's with Jackson or something. That's all I remember from that conversation dude but why'd you need to know?" He asks.

"I was just tryna remember" Harry says, "thanks" and hangs up.

"Okay" I say. I believe him. I don't know why I even listened to Jackson in the first place. Of course he would lie to me about something like this, he was trying to get me back.

Harry and I manage to work through all of the history and I take my final. Afterwards Jackson works on his school as I gently rub his knuckles with my thumb. He finally shuts his laptop and turns to me.
