Runaway thief...

My eyes fluttered open, to reveal the hospital bedroom. Once again I could feel the tubes against my back, and arms. I looked around to see a Doctor noting something down on the board at the end of my bed. He smiled at me, and I tried to give him one back, but my face felt all stiff.
"Dont worry about that, it's just the effects of the medicine wearing off".
I nodded, and turned to see Stacy lying in a chair next to my bed, her head awkwardly placed over the side of it. Why was it always her who had to come, and why did she have to come at all?
Last time I met her she had told Harry about me living in the care home, and I hadn't forgiven her for that. I wasn't planning on it either. Since that she has caused me nothing but grief where Harry is concerned.

"Now Kaila I want you to take these pills twice a day. First time at 9 and the second time at 6 in the evening, ok"
"Yeah that's fine" I replied, staring down at the bag stuffed full of little pill boxes.
"You understand how serious it is that you take them dont you?" I nodded, not saying anything.
"autonomic nervous system malfunction is a serious illness and needs to be taken seriously, because if not then....well your remember what I told you earlier". I nodded, thinking over his words 'it can become a fatal disease if not treated properly, so make sure you take the med's we're going to give you, or it could become terminal'. I shuddered at the last word.

Stacy walked me out of the hospital and opened the car door. I was completely paralysed, all I could do was stare down at the pack of pills. These tiny little capsules had the power to change my life, or rather prevent it from ending. I was so consumed in thought I hadn't realised where we were until Stacy prodded my shoulder. I looked around, and saw the apartment building. I climbed out the car, and made my way to the door.

I opened my flat door, and immediately fell down on the couch breaking down in a flurry of tears. I had always thought of myself as a strong healthy person, and had taken my good health for granted. How could I have ANSM? What would this do to the rest of my life, would it alter it forever?

-----Harry's POV-----

I picked up the phone to ring Kaila. I have to say I was a little concerned about her. She was a smart girl and probably went to the hospital straight away, after I told her, but I wasn't sure. I knew I had been a dick. I knew I had been selfish but how could I admit that to her after all my effort to stop showing any emotion. She had told me something so trivial compared to what I had said. Her stealing meant nothing now?

I needed to set things straight with her even if it meant we wouldn't be friends any-more. She would have to accept my apology, wouldn't she. I couldn't let my friends know about this, but I bet Kaila would be the last thing on their minds. I could just say I was going to a 'friends', cos then they would think that I was going round to a girls, and I could win the bet against Niall; who could sleep with the most girls in a month. I knew I would win anyway, even if I wasn't going to lie.

I put my shoes on and headed out the door. Last night had been pretty crazy; all that drinking, smoking had got to me head, and I was paying for it this morning. I slammed the door shut, and climbed in my new car to drive to Kaila's flat.

I knocked on the door to her flat, and waited. For a second I thought about leaving, when I heard footsteps coming towards the door. Then soon after it opened, revealing a worn looking Kaila.
Her hair was wet, and it lay around her shoulders, matted and all curled. Her face was blotchy and red, I could tell she had been crying, no wonder. I could smell her perfume radiating off of her, and her lips were as pink as ever, even after all the crying.
There was silence, as I watched her green eyes process me standing there.
"What are you doing here?" I could here the tiredness in her voice, and when she spoke it sounded like she was about to break down.
"I'm here to see if your all-right, and to....apologise" Her frown lightened, and a small smile appeared!
"Thanks it's ok"
"It's not, I should have told you as soon as I knew, I was a dick not to, and.....I'm really sorry for making you tell me your secret first"
"Dont worry about it, at this point in time I wouldn't care if you told the whole school everything I've ever told you, cos I dont know how long I'll be there for before I'm constantly in the hospital"

I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and sat her down on the sofa.
"Listen Kaila, your going to get better, as long as you do what the Doctors have told you to do. It's not incurable Kaila! Your a fighter, I should know, and if I had to bet on anyone who had this illness I would bet on you to cure it!". Had I just said something nice? It felt good, but weird at the same time, that side of me had always frightened me, so I shut my mouth. But she smiled anyway and continued to let me hug her.

I stayed for another 20 minutes, just chatting and talking about random stuff. There was no awkwardness, no anger, and no worry of anyone seeing me like this. This side of me was a side that usually never came out, and to be fair normally I hated being able to see it. But not this time, as it was just Kaila I could be like this without worrying about anyone laughing at me for being a sod.

The reason why me being nice had always scared me was for a few reasons; when your nice to people they begin to trust you, and I cant have people trusting me! Also when your nice to people, especially girls, they become attached and start thinking I want to be friends with them. I dont need friends who need someone to be nice to them, and are just pussy's. Finally being nice gives people the wrong impression of me, and then they start thinking that's who I really am, when actually I'm the opposite! A relationship with anyone is defiantly not for me, I cant deal with it. That's why I'm scared of the part of me, that attracts them.

She then went to get in to her night clothes, and when she came back to say goodbye she surprised me a little. I had expected her to be wearing some pyjama's, but no. She was now wearing a night dress, with a bandau under it, and she looked amazing. I was so tempted to just rip it off of her, I had to hold myself back. Normally whenever I saw a girl in the clothes she wears to bed it would be just before I was or had slept with them.

I stood in the doorway and watched as she climbed in to bed, like a Dad, something she never had. She smiled at me, and thanked me. Then a thought came to mind, 'what if she wakes in the middle of the night with one of her fevers, and has no-one there to help her'.
"What's the matter aren't you leaving now"
"I was but......what if you wake up in the night with a fever and there's no-one there to help you"
"Oh yeah..."
"Do you want me to stay?". I asked anxiously, expecting an angry reply. I waited for an answer, but there was non, so I began to walk out.
"Wait!". I smiled, spun around to see Kaila patting the other side of the bed.
"I guess it cant hurt, just dont get any ideas cos I'm weak and cant fight you off". I laughed, then crawled over on to the other side, and slid in to the covers.

I was still fully clothed, but I didn't care...
