The Boy That Saved My Life (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Ch.5

(EMMA'S POV) - TWO WEEKS LATER

I was in the middle of drawing on my bed when I heard the familiar 'ding' from my cellphone. I marked the page of my sketchpad with my pencil before I closed it and set it on my side table. A smile planted itself on my lips when I read the text message.

"Be there in a few minutes. Have a surprise with me :) -Harry x"

You see, Harry has come to visit me every single day since our birthdays. From the moment we met, we instantly hit it off. To be honest, I didn't look at him as a world famous boy band member anymore; I looked at him as one of my best friends. Sure, we have only known each other for a little over two weeks, but we had spent so much time together. He had given up countless hours sitting with me in my room, talking about anything and everything. I know his favorite pizza toppings, his earliest memories, and his favorite books. It is really amazing how much information you can cram into half a month.

I quickly brushed out my hair and tidied my room just as I heard the awaited sound of my twisting door knob. I looked up at Harry as he walked into my room, only to be followed by four other figures. It took me a few seconds to realize that all five members of One Direction were standing a few feet away from me.

I didn't know what to say, all I could do was stare. 

Harry, clad in a full-on smirk, decided to do the introductions. "Emma, meet Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn. Boys, meet Emma."

Liam took a few steps closer to me with a warm smile. "We have heard so much about you," he said before giving me a hug.

The rest of the boys took it upon themselves to give me a hug as well, although Louis did win the prize for the most bone-crushing one. 

I couldn't help but smile. A few weeks ago, I never would have guessed that the boys I idolized, obsessed over, even stalked, would be so much as friends with me. At that moment, all of my health concerns dissolved, and I was truly thankful for everything in my life.

I looked at Harry, who already had his eyes on me. "Thank you," I mouthed to him.

He gave me a smile- the same one that millions of girls have practically died over. "My pleasure," he mouthed back.

Just as Zayn cleared his throat to speak, my door opened once again, revealing my nurse, Sarah.

Everyone quieted down to hear what she had to say. "Emma, I am going to have to steal you for a few minutes. You need to have your CT scan."

I mentally face-palmed myself. I forgot about that. 

I turned to the boys. "You guys can occupy yourself for a few minutes, right?"

After hearing a chorus of yes's, I gave them one more glance before following Sarah down the hallway.
