After we finished messing around in the pool, Harry carried me inside. He set up a fire in the fireplace, and we put on dry clothes as it got going. Harry got a pile of blankets and pillows and we snuggled up on the couch. I was freezing to the point where my body was shaking, and I had a major headache.
“I think I’m getting sick.” I told Harry.
Harry looked down at me, and placed a hand on my forehead.
“You have a fever. I’ll go get you some medicine, stay here.” Harry said.
Harry stood up, and laid me down gently. He returned shortly after with some medicine.
“I can’t swallow pills.” I noted.
“They’re the chewable kind.” Harry said.
I nodded, and took the medicine from him. He sat down on the couch again and snuggled me close to him. I pulled away quickly.
“You can’t get sick.” I said.
“I’ll risk it.” Harry said with a smile.
I smiled, and laid down on him again. We stayed like that for a few hours, and then I fell asleep.
When I woke up, my headache had gone away, but now my whole body ached, and I was freezing cold. I was still on the couch, and Harry was still sleeping under me. I rested my head on Harry’s chest, and snuggled into him. I felt like crap.
Harry started waking up a few minutes after me.
“I’m going to carry you upstairs. You need to just rest today.” Harry said.
He picked me up, and carried me into out room. He laid me down in bed, and tucked me in tightly.
“I have to go to the studio for a few hours. I’m going to send Niall over to watch you while I’m gone.” Harry said.
He went and took a shower, and then got dressed. After he was done getting ready he came in.
“Niall just got here. He’ll be downstairs if you need anything. I’ll be home soon okay?” Harry said.
“Okay.” I answered coughing.
“I love you.” Harry said kissing my forehead.
“I love you too.” I answered.
Harry walked out of the room and left. I was really upset, that he wasn’t here to take care of me, but at least he cared enough to leave someone.
I snuggled up into my blankets, and closed my eyes trying to fall asleep. Whenever I would be ready to fall asleep, my body temperature decided it would be fun to go from hot to cold. I was freezing and sweating all at the same time, and I couldn’t handle it. My body was shivering, and I wanted some tea.
“Niall?” I called downstairs.
No answer.
“Niall?” I called again.
Nothing. I didn’t have the energy or strength to get up. So I just laid there freezing. I was so tired, and weak, and I broke down in tears. No like heavy crying, but a nice trickle of tears fell from my eyes. I looked at the clock, and I saw that Harry should be home soon. I would just wait for him to come home.
Harry P.O.V.
I was really mad I had to go to the studio today. I wanted to stay home, and take care of Alana. It was my fault she was sick, I was the one who took her into the freezing pool. I had left her with Niall in case she needed anything; there would be someone there to help her.
I just finished up at the studio and was on my way home. I pulled up to the house, and went in. The second I walked in, I found Niall sleeping on my couch. I ran up to the bedroom where Alana was.
When I walked in she was crying.
Alana P.O.V.
I heard Harry’s car pull up and then the front door open and close. Harry said something under his breath, and then I heard him running up the stairs.
He ran into the room, and came straight over to me. He knelt down by the bed next to me and pulled me into his arms.
“You don’t feel good huh baby?” Harry said rubbing my back.
I shook my head and sniffled. Harry handed me a tissue. I blew my nose and wiped my eyes.
“Niall didn’t help at all.” I said.
“Yeah, he’s sleeping on the couch.” Harry answered.
I let out a strained laugh, and began coughing. Harry rubbed my back.
“Have you eaten anything?” he asked me.
“I’m not hungry.” I answered.
“You have to eat something; it will make you feel better.” Harry stated.
I shook my head.
“I’ll go make you tea and toast yeah?” Harry said.
“Fine.” I answered.
Harry nodded, and kissed my forehead. He left the room, and went to go make me food. I fell asleep.
When I woke up, Harry was lying on the bed next to me.
“Hey sleepy head.” Harry said.
“Hi.” I answered.
Harry placed his hand lightly on my forehead.
“Fever’s gone.” He stated.
“Yeah, I do feel a load better.” I said.
“Good, now you can eat. Niall ate your food, when he saw that you were asleep and hadn’t touched it.” Harry said.
“Oh, how long was I asleep for?” I asked.
“Like four hours.” Harry said.
I nodded, and plopped my head back down. I was sweating wearing all these clothes. I had on shorts, sweatpants over my shorts, two pairs of socks, a tank top, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt.
I stripped down, so I was in just my tank top and shirt, with one pair of socks.
“You can’t do that. This is unfair.” Harry said.
“What?” I asked.
“You can’t turn me on when you’re sick.” Harry said.
I giggled.
“I didn’t mean to?” I said laughing.
“Let’s go get something to eat; I need to take my mind off things.” Harry said motioning toward my body.
He lifted me up, and carried me to the kitchen, where he made me toast, and tea. We sat at the table, and he watched me eat.
“I need a job.” I said.
I had gotten fired from my old job, because when One Direction fans got word Harry and I were hanging out, they needed to come and talk to me, so the store was always packed, yet nothing was ever bought. All the girls being there, scared away customers that really wanted to shop, and the only way to get rid of the girls, was to get rid of me.
“You don’t need a job.” Harry said.
“Yes, I do. If this is our house, then I need to help with like the bills and stuff.” I said.
“You really don’t Alana. I have enough money, I can handle it.” Harry said.
“All I ever do is sit home, and take up space. I need to get out and do something.” I said.
“So make friends.” Harry answered.
“I have friends.” I said.
“Name five, and me and Niall don’t count.” Harry said.
“My mom.” I said.
“Exactly. Call up like Danielle and Eleanor, and Perrie. They would hang out with you.” Harry answered.
“No, I need a job.” I said.
“Well you can’t get one yet, because, I have a surprise for you.” Harry said.
“What does that have to do with anything.” I asked.
“Just listen.” Harry said.
I nodded, and pulled on my ear.
“I am taking you to the VMA’s.” Harry said.
“You’re what!?” I shouted.
“You are my guest for the VMA’s.” Harry said with a smile.
“Oh my God! Thank you!” I shouted.
I jumped into Harry’s lap, and he kissed me lightly on the cheek.
“I love you so much!” I squealed.
“I love you too.” Harry said.
I laughed, and wiggled around in his lap. He laughed, and held his arms around my waist.
“I’m glad you fell in love with me Alana, because if we weren’t dating now, I’d be taking my mom to the VMA’s.” Harry said.
I smiled. Harry leaned in and kissed me on the lips.
“Harry no! I’m sick! What if you get sick?” I asked wiping Harry’s lips.
“You seem fine to me, and if I get sick, you’re my doctor. There is absolutely NO problem with that.” Harry said and winked.
“You are such a perv.” I laughed.
Harry shrugged, and kissed me again. He slid his hand up my thigh.
“That’s enough for you.” I said and stood up.
“Uhhh.” Harry groaned.
I laughed and ran upstairs. Harry chased me and tackled me onto the bed.
“I can make you feel better.” Harry whispered against my skin.
