The Player Falls Hard
Chapter 21
BRYNN'S POV
When Harry realized that I agreed to date him again, he grinned before leaning down, placing a hand on my cheek, and kissing me. I kissed him back but pulled away, giving him a suspision look.
"No more bets?"
He shook his head and held up his pinky and wrapped it around mine.
"No more. I promise."
"Good."
He leaned back down and kissed me some more, and I enjoyed it. I knew that the old Harry was gone, and a new and inproved one was here to stay. Just as he pulled away and rubbed his thumb against my cheek softly, and I heard someone clear their throat at the door. When we both turned around and looked, we saw my nurse Gabby standing at the door.
"Gabby?"
She turned and looked at me, her brown eyes shining brightly.
"Yes?"
"Am I able to move about and stuff? I kind of want to get out of the room for a little bit."
She laughed and grinned with her deep red lipstick smile towards me and started smoothing down her dark brown bun.
"Well, if you think you want to, we can put you in a wheelchair. We just don't want you walking around because you need to be a little bit more stable. Is that ok?"
I nodded as Harry got up and grabbed the wheelchair by the door and rolled it over to me. I moved the covers off of me and Harry slipped his arms under me and lifted me up bridal style, pecked my head, and set me down in the chair.
"Well, I see your all covered." She smiled down at me and Harry.
"Are you feeling ok?"
Harry whispered in my ear as he pushed me down the hall. I took a second to reply because it was the first time out of my room, and I wanted to enjoy my freedom while I had it. I looked into the rooms we passed and saw a lady alseep in the bed, an older man laying down and watching television, and sadly, a little bald girl sitting in a large bed, playing with a doll. I watched her more as we went past, and I could hear her little voice singing.
"We're like na na na, then we're like yeah yeah yeah. Always like na na na,
then we're like yeah yeah yeah."
We started to continue past her door when a lightbulb went off in my head."
Harry, stop."
He stopped abruptly and came around to look at me, worry in his eyes.
"What's wrong? You feeling ok? Do we need to get someone?"
I shook my head and pointed back at the little girls room.
"Harry, there was a little girl in there. She was singing Na Na Na."
"Oh, really? Cool. You really scared me though, don't-"
"No, Harry, I noticed she was bald... I think she has cancer."
He looked back at the door and then at me, and confusion was written all over his face.
"That's sad... But why did we stop?"
"I think you should go see her. It might make her day better you know?"
He raised his eyebrows and glanced back at the door.
"You really want to do that?"
I nodded and he smiled, kissing my cheek.
"You always care about others before yourself."
I smiled and he turned me around, pushing me back to the girls room.
"I can push myself in. Come in when I say you can ok?"
He nodded and stayed hidden from the girl in the door when I knocked on the wall. The singing suddenly stopped and I heard her call out "Hello?", so I pushed myself in, which was very hard concidering how weak I was.
"Hi sweetie."
When I came closer, she looked up at me. She had green eyes like Harry, and I could see a little scattering of freckles across her face.
"Hi."
She looked back down at her doll, humming Na Na Na and playing with the doll's hair.
"I'm Brynn. What's your name?"
"Lizarae. It's pronounced Liz-ah-ray."
She looked up at me and smiled, showing me a little bit of her white small teeth.
"Well Lizarae, I heard you singing Na Na Na just a minute ago."
She looked back down at the doll and her face was blushing, like some one found out a huge secret of hers.
"I like One Direction."
I giggled and rolled myself closer, still smiling at her.
"Don't worry, I do too."
I whispered, and I heard a giggle escape her mouth.
"I don't want you to answer this if it makes you uncomfortable, but do you have cancer?"
She nodded and frowned a little, looking out the window and up at the blue sky.
"Yeah... My grandpa and daddy are gone now because of it. Soon I will too."
Just hearing a little girl say it broke my heart, and I had to push the tears out of my eyes.
"I don't like it. It's not nice. I wish no one had to go through it. No one likes it. Can't we kill it?"
I let out a small laugh and shook my head, half frowning.
"I wish sweets. I wish."
She looked back down at her doll, moving it's hands up and down.
"Who's your favorite guy in One Direction."
She perked up immediately, grinning and bouncing a little up and down.
"Harry!"
She said pretty loud, and I could hear Harry let out a little laugh, but luckily Lizarae didn't hear it.
"Me too! And guess who I found?"
I turned towards the door and nodded at Harry, and when he walked into Lizarae's veiw, she gasped.
