You're Insecure Don't Know What For

Chapter 49: New Life Brings A Complication

Erin’s Point Of View

                I couldn’t get over how happy Harry and Rachel were, mostly Harry. I mean Rachel was happy but she was also still withering in pain in her hospital bed. Harry was staying over at the hospital and everyone had already said goodbye. I forgot my phone on the bed side table and went in to find Harry talking in hushed tones with the doctor as Rachel looked at Darcy. Something flashed through Harry’s eyes and I quickly walked over to them.

Me-What’s going on?

                They both looked at me surprised, thinking I had left.

Harry-It’s nothing.

Me-So that look on your face means nothing?

                We met eyes and he lost it; I grabbed his arms and pulled him in for a hug. I held him for a few minutes then led him over to the bed and sat him down next to her. I walked back over to the doctor, who was blonde, and had a tired expression on her face. She gave me a weak smile and I returned it.

Me-Is everything okay doctor?

Doctor-After what I’m about to tell me, just tell me Hanna.

Me-Alright Hanna, what is going on?

Hanna-Well in all honesty, we don’t really know. She just isn’t right, and her heart beat isn’t as strong as it should be.

Me-But you can figure it out right? I mean it’s only been a day….

Hanna-I’m not sure, I have never encountered anything like this in my career. And I am just worried that something will happened overnight as she is sleeping.so I will have a nurse into monitor her.

Me-So did you try to explain this to Harry?

                She sighed and shook her head no.

Hanna-I tried, but he wouldn’t listen to me, he wants to think that she will be fine in the morning, but honestly I’m not so sure what will happen.

                I tried to hold back the tears, but it didn’t work.

Me-I’ll talk to him, but thank you for trying to figure this out, it means a lot.

Hanna-It is my job, but Rachel is a sweet girl from what I know.

                I smiled at her again as I made my way over to Harry who had laid himself down on the couch. I sat next to him and rested my head on his shoulder. He sighed as he wrapped his arm around me.

Harry-How bad is it?

Me-She said there was something wrong with her heart. And she is scared that she might not wake up in the morning.

                He took a shaky breath and I could tell he was looking at Rachel. I knew that it would be hard for him to get through this; but I knew that he had to stay strong for Darcy now, he can’t break down anymore. He can’t just get up and leave. It was quiet for a few minutes and then Rachel woke up and looked over at us with pain and concern.

Rachel-What’s wrong guys?

                Harry stood up and walked over to the bed and lay down next to her. And I stood up to pick up Darcy who was crying. Rachel looked up and reached for her.

Rachel-Let me hold her.

                I made eye contact with Harry and nodded to him. He knew what I meant and I took Darcy out into the hallway to rock her around as Harry told Rachel when Hanna told me. I was about to go back in when I heard my name and I turned around to see Louis standing there smiling at me. I smiled back at him and walked over to let him hold Darce.

Louis-I don’t want to ruin the moment you two are having.

Me-No, I want to see you with her.

                He smirked at me but took her anyway. I smiled as I saw him going into daddy mode.

Me-Lou, I have to tell you something.

Louis-You aren’t pregnant again are you?

Me-No. It’s about Rachel.

Louis-Is Harry….?

Me-He’s in there telling her. The doctor pretty much said that something is wrong with her heart and she might not wake up.

Louis-So I guess we are staying here tonight then?

                My eyes watered and I nodded my head before heading inside to see Rachel crying. She saw me walk in and I cried even harder. I walked over to her and pulled her in for a hug. I lay down next to her and we were just enjoying each other’s company. Harry got up and left giving us some best friend alone time. And I couldn’t help but think that this is the last time I might have with my best friend.
