Drifter | (Harry Styles AU) • COMPLETE

Chapter 44.

"Well hello Mr. Styles, it's good to finally see you awake. I'm doctor Stenson," He tells me with a warm smile,"Sorry about the wait. Apparently I'm the only neurologist that speaks English today, so please bare with me," He continues as he walks over to my bedside,"How are you feeling?"

"Confused," I say truthfully crossing my arms over my chest.

"That's completely normal," Dr. Stenson reassures me as he copies numbers from the monitor next the bed.

"What am I doing here?" I ask hoping he'll answer me.

"Oh I'm sorry, how could I forget to ask you the questions," Dr. Stenson says putting his pen down letting out a chuckle,"Mr. Styles can you tell me today's date?"

"Sunday the 10th of August," I answer slowly wondering why the date matters.

"Expected answer, good," The doctor mutters to himself as he jots down on his clipboard,"No today is actually Monday the 25th,"He says speaking to me now.

"How is that possible?" I say furrowing my brows.

"Well Mr. Styles you hit your head pretty hard and that put you into a two week coma...."

"What? A coma? I wasn't in a coma, I've been ..I've been sleeping. I was asleep," I say feeling a little panicked, my chest beginning to rapidly rise up and down.

Wouldn't I have known I was in a coma?

This doesn't make any fucking sense...today is the 10th.

"Take deep breaths for me ....Harry," Dr. Stenson says, reading from his clipboard,"I know this is a little scary and confusing to hear but I can assure you that you are perfectly okay.I have your brain scans right here, they show your brain has healed tremendously well in the past two weeks, and your vitals show that your body has be functioning normal as well. You see? Your fine," Dr. Stenson begins telling me even though it doesn't make me feel any better, "Do you have any questions you'd like to ask so that you can feel a little less left in the dark," He says kindly, walking over to the stool near the computer monitor and having a seat.

"How did I get in a coma?" I ask. I look over at Mariano briefly, he looks nervous, picking away at the skin around his finger.

Fucking weirdo, why the hell is he in here anyway?

"You hit your head when you landed at the bottom of a steep ditch after you were saved from a burning car that exploded," Dr. Stenson informs me,"Your coma was the small price to pay for beating death, I suppose," He says trying to make a joke.

"How the hell did I end up in a burning car?" I question shutting my eyes trying to recall my last memory. The last thing I can remember is being in the bathroom with Mariano, after that I must have blacked out from all the alcohol I consumed.

"From speaking to your wife you..."

"My who?!" I shout chocking on a breath.

"Your wife, Harry," Mariano says quickly giving me a wide eyed look,"You know, my sister, Anissa?" He continues looking at me in a way that I know he must want me to play along with what I assume is a lie.

Please dear God don't let me have been so hammered that I married Anissa.

"Oh my ...wife, I thought you said something else," I huff.

"Well anyway, she said she had been driving around with her brother," Dr. Stenson continues,"Looking for you when they found that you had been taken by a few awful men who were trying to kill you in a car they were intentionally trying to blow up."
