I woke up by people whispering to each other but I couldn't quite focuse on what they were saying because I was still exhausted and extremely tired.

I noticed the warmth I felt through the night had disappeared so Harry must've woken up already and left or something. Instead of falling back asleep I forced myself to open my eyes and groan a little because of the bright lights from above.

"You're awake. Doctors said me & Richard are able to see Wes soon but unfortunately you guys are not allowed." Mary said, sounding excited that she finally got to see her son again.

"It's okay. You guys are more important." I waved her off as I sat up and rubbed my eyes to get used to the light. My eyes quickly adjusted and I looked around but Harry was no where in sight.

"He's in the bathroom." Mary answered without even having me ask the question.

I nodded with a smile and noticed Richard coming into the room with four coffees to go.

"Good you're awake. Didn't want your coffee to get cold." Richard said as he handed me one. I thanked him and sipped on my coffee in silence while Richard & Mary talked to each other.

Moments later Harry finally rounded the corner and my mood immediately lifted, especially after he noticed I was awake and smiled at me as he made his way towards me.

"Morning." He said as he sat down after grabbing his coffee.

"Morning." I replied before taking another sip of my coffee.

"Harry? Ana? Maybe it's time for you guys to head home and get on with your day. We're going in to see him soon and will go to his apartment afterwards to freshen up because we live a couple hours away. I know you guys don't like the idea but the doctor said he might be in the medically induced coma for a couple days so if anything changes we could call you immediately so you can head down here as well. I don't think Wes would've wanted you to stay here for days."

Harry & I looked at each other and I just knew he felt the same way I did. However, they were right. If anything changed we'll just get in the car and drive here as quick as possible but now that we can't visit hime it might actually be best to head home.

Harry gave me a subtle nod as if agreeing with me.

"Fine but please don't hesitate to call us no matter what. We'll check in with you later and say hi for us." I told them and they both smiled at us.

"Come here." Mary said and got up to pull me into a hug. I hugged her back just as tight and noticed Richard hugging Harry but not nearly as long as Mary & I.

When Mary pulled away she pulled Harry into a hug as well while Richard opened his arms for me with a smile. I hugged him too and soon we were on our way right when the doctor came to get Wes' parents so they could see their son.

As we walked to my car in silence all I wanted was to just lay in bed and watch Netflix. I didn't have any strength to do anything else apart from taking a shower maybe.

Harry held up his hand as we approached my car and I handed him the keys so he could drive us home.

As we left the hospital behind it was getting a little easier to breath. I never liked hospitals and so I was glad to have a little break from spending hours and hours in there.

I was deep in my thoughts when suddenly Harry placed his hand on my knee. Without hesitation I placed my hand on top of his and just enjoyed the little affection I got from him right now.

Not long after that we arrived at our apartment complex and soon enough found ourselves just standing in the lobby not knowing if we should part ways or not.

"I'll see you later?" Harry asked and I looked down a little disappointed that he didn't want to spend any more time with me.

"Sure." I nodded and just like that he was opening the door to the stairs while I took the elevator on my own.

I didn't know what I was expecting but for some reason it wasn't this. What if we're back to how things were before Wes' accident?

When I got home I quickly took a shower and finally let myself fall into my bed, wearing the most comfortable pyjama I had. I only got up once for the next couple hours and that was when I went to grab a bunch of snacks from the kitchen. Other than that I just laid there thinking and watching Netflix.

Early in the afternoon I heard my phone ring and immediately grabbed it, thinking it might be Mary or Richard but when I looked at the caller ID I saw that it was my mom.

"Hey mom." I answered the phone.

"Hello my dear. How are you? We heard you won't be at work today is everything okay?" She asked, sounding worried.

"Do you remember Wes?" I asked before I told her what had happened.

"Of course I do. He's your friend from work right?"

"Right." I replied before telling her everything. I left out the details about Harry because this wasn't about him no matter how much he was running through my mind right now.

Thankfully my parents understood why I wasn't at work and told me to call them if I needed them which I was very grateful for. Soon enough the call ended and I placed my phone back on the nightstand.

Tonight I fell asleep on my own with no one by my side to comfort me. I didn't have the strength to go to Harry's apartment because I didn't want to chase him any longer.

I thought after last night he felt different about us. He was so thoughtful and there were no signs of him retreating. Even today he showed a little bit of affection and I refuse to believe that it was just a nice gesture to comfort me.

He needs to make up his mind about what he wants and no matter what he decides I will be just fine. So let's see what tomorrow will bring.
