Morning came and the first person I saw was Harry, who was lying dormant on the couch. The night before I would have never guessed he could be any more beautiful, but here he was looking more handsome than ever. I focused my attention on his lips which were beyond inviting. I recalled the moment when he kissed me and I soon found myself blushing. Then I remembered how angry he was when he stormed out of the room, which made me wonder why he was now lying completely calm on the couch.
I placed my arm on the nightstand to balance myself as I stood up from the hospital bed. My legs were numb and although my head felt better it still hurt like hell. I nearly tripped making my way over to Harry who was still snoring softly on the couch. I tried to make as little noise as possible when I sat down because I didn’t want to disrupt his sleep. When I finally settled down next to him I began to gently run my fingers through the tangled mess he called hair. I looked down at his face to see if he had any reaction but he remained still. I had begun tracing the outline of his scar with my finger when I noticed Lana and Taisie standing with their mouths open in the doorway. My cheeks flushed at the thought that they had seen me almost taking advantage of Harry in his sleep. I stared at them in horror as their mouths grew in excitement.
“Is that Harry Styles?” Taisie shrieked.
“You guys know him?” I asked, wondering why they were being so loud.
They clasped their hands over their mouths as if to keep themselves from screaming while slowly approaching me and Harry.
“Paris, if only you knew.” Lana said, shaking her head.
Suddenly, I was confused.
“What are you guys talking about?” I asked, standing up from the couch. “You guys are acting really weird.”
“You would be acting the same way if you knew who he was.” Taisie snickered.
At that moment I was tempted to shove them both out the door. I didn’t understand why Lana and Taisie were suddenly so interested in me anyway. They had never glanced twice in my direction at school and now the moment I was sick they wanted everything to do with me. I rolled my eyes at the thought.
“Why are you guys even here?” I asked coldly, folding my arms over my chest. “It’s fucking eight in the morning.”
The two of them seemed taken aback by my rude tone but I couldn’t care less. I wanted them to leave.
“We came here to see you.” Lana said calmly.
“Are you sure? Because it looks like you came here to see Harry.” I gestured to Harry whose lips were slightly turned downward. I could tell he was awake but didn’t want to intervene.
“Paris, we didn’t even know he was here.” Taisie said, raising her voice.
I placed my hands firmly on my hips as an awkward silence ensued. It lasted long enough for me to hear faint chanting coming from outside. I walked over to the window and opened the curtains to reveal a sea of people holding up signs with Harry’s name and the word hero on it. I slowly turned back around to face the girls who were now staring at the soles of their feet.
“That’s funny you say that… because It looks like the whole world knows he’s here.”
Taisie opened her mouth to say something but clamped it shut. The two of them stood there not knowing what to say as the chanting grew louder.
“Paris, I know this looks bad but we really did come here to see you.” Lana uttered hesitantly.
I raised my brow.
“For some reason I don’t believe you.”
“Paris, please.”
“You guys need to leave.” I mumbled under my breath.
The two of them sighed and then left the room without hesitating. The moment the door shut behind them Harry’s eyes shot open.
