allison didn't want to believe the truth, but what was she to do if it was obviously stated in front of her? the trip to the hospital was rushed and she didn't even remember the trip, she just drove all the way and she didn't even hesitate.


as soon as she reached the hospital, she checked the floors out, and found the one that she had been before with harry. the counter was guarded by a stiff lady, and she gulped at the reason why she was there.


she said harry's name at the counter and the lady frowned. allison was questioned and she honestly wasn't sure why harry's visitors were doubted.


oh.


nobody ever came for him before, that was the main reason. her access was firstly denied because she wasn't granted permission without a passcode.


and as allison played with the chain on her neck -a reminder that harry was always there- she finally grasped the reason why harry gave it to her.


permission granted.


his room was at the end of the hall, and the walk to the room made allison's stomach clench. it wasn't due to the lack of nutrition she was getting and it wasn't because of the leftovers she had yesterday.


it was the nerves she had to see how harry was doing, and even if harry wanted to even see her anyways. she hoped he wanted to though, because she really did.


she couldn't really imagine how harry was, and allison hoped it wasn't that bad. but deep down allison knew that harry wasn't in the hospital without reason - something must've triggered this.


allison felt her eyes tearing up slightly, but quickly wiped them away. she didn't want to cry, it wasn't magical and it couldn't save harry. her tears were useless anyhow. this wasn't another tangles fairytale.


as soon as she reached the sliding door of his port, she quietly knocked but received no response. that was when she saw his messy flop of long curls, and allison slid in. the door wasn't locked and she closed it again behind her.


harry was sleeping, and she could hear his silent purr of snoring and allison couldn't help but let out a small smile. she sighed before taking a seat on the empty chair next to his bed.


she watched as his nose was wired up with an oxygen tube, and there was a wire on his hand from the water that he needed. his face was slightly paler than before, and allison watched as harry was slightly sweaty maybe because of the humid temperature of the room.


allison reached over to his forehead and wiped the sweat off using her hands, and she swept his unkempt hair so she had a clear view of his face. he was still handsome, and allison's heart fluttered at the beautiful sight.


her thumb caressed his cheek, and she wanted to kiss him. she knew she shouldn't but she couldn't help but feel so. it has been a while since she saw him, and she missed him. she missed this feeling.


as soon as she knew it, a pair of green eyes were looking into her blue ones. she couldn't help but sigh and caress his cheek again making harry whisper her name.


it took everything inside her to not cry at the lovely sound. his mesmerizing voice.


she smiled at him, and his faint smile at the edge of his lips made her heart churn. it made her feel some kind of relief because he still managed to do so.


harry gently sat up, and placed his legs at the edge of the bed so his long legs hit the floor. allison motioned for him to stop but he didn't listen.


"i'm okay allison, i really am." harry assured her.


allison frowned, and held his bicep as he fixed his hospital gown.


"but why are you here? isn't it serious?"


harry didn't say anything, and just smiled at her.


"c'mere." allison didn't hesitate at all before gripping harry's sides and she felt his warmth envelope her whole body making her sigh into the hug.


the hug lasted for a whole two minutes before harry rubbed her back with small shapes and allison pulled back slightly, trying her best not to cry there and then.


his forehead rested on hers, and their noses slightly nuzzled against each others and it made allison smile. harry was looking at her, placing his fingers against her waist. her hands placed on his thighs as he was in a sitting position.


"fuck, i miss you." allison closed her eyes as he placed a small kiss on her nose, and allison nodded. she couldn't find her voice anymore, harry made her feel at peace and she didn't want to ruin the moment with her squeaking voice anyways.


she nuzzled her face into his neck and kissed it slightly, taking in the familar smell of him that she had been longing for. his scent made her at ease, and she missed it. she missed him.


"i'm sorry for readin-" allison was cut by harry pulling her back, and allison frowned at the lost of contact.


"don't you dare say sorry." harry held her by the shoulders, and allison jutted her lower lip at him.


"but-" her lips were shut with harry's lips on hers, and she gave in. she kissed him back, without adding any pressure.


harry pulled away first, and murmured against her lips, "no no no, i shouldn't have even said anything about it." their eyes were locked, and allison pouted at him.


harry chuckled slightly before turning into a fit of coughs. allison just watched him as he calmed down.


"just know that i'm sorry for intruding your privacy." allison's hand was over his mouth, trying to make him listen and harry quickly pushed her hands away. she laughed at how surprised he was and harry laughed too.


"and i'm sorry for being such a baby." harry jutted his lower lip, secretly mocking allison. she took that chance to plant a peck on his lips, and harry smiled into the short kiss. his hands were on her waist, slowly drawing small circles with his cold fingertips.


"allison," harry cooed, making her look at him. "i have to tell you something."


and as brave as allison acted in front of him, she was breaking inside at those words that escaped harry's lips.


harry patted the spot next to him, gesturing allison to sit on the bed with him. she did as told and reached over for harry's hand, playing with his large fingers and palm.


harry eased in her contact and licked his lips before speaking.


"i want you to know that i adore you ally. i cherish the patience and strength in you, and you should know that without you i wouldn't know where i'd be, honestly. you make me think about how i shouldn't take things for granted. cause, i'll never know when i'll run out of time." harry paused before nudging allison to look at him.


his finger was placed under her chin, and she looked at his glossy eyes.


"but i know allison, i know when my time's gonna finish."


allison couldn't help but tear up at his words, making her confirm her assumptions.


harry cried, and allison helped him wipe them away making him chuckle slightly before leaning in to peck her lips. she happily accepted, before placing her head against his chest.


"but darling, i'll kiss you longer just to make most of the minutes. i'll hold you closer to make sure my fingertips stay, just like i'm saying goodbye. and most of all allison, i'm gonna love you like i'm gonna lose you even though i never want to leave you."


harry was already choking at his words, and his words were all over the place since his sobs were loudly heard. allison couldn't help but cry too, and they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, making them both giggle at how open they were. even though, harry's death was the main topic.


soon after they calmed down, and harry had gestured for allison to lie down in his arms, allison cupped his face in her hands and kissed him for a while. she knew she couldn't make out with him like they used to, but she gave him pecks and pecks, making him know that kissing would still happen even with his condition.


harry didn't complain though.


allison watched as harry was slowly drifting off, and allison finally mustered all her strength to tell harry that she wasn't going anywhere.


"harry," he hummed in response, his eyes still open.


"i love you. i'll be right here, and i'm staying. i don't know how i'd live without you. i will never be the same without you. please don't go." allison was crying, and harry wiped her tears with his thumb making allison nuzzle in his touch.


"please don't cry, because then i'll cry. it's such a hideous sight, darling." allison shook her head.


"i don't care. i'd rather see you cry everyday, than never seeing you again." allison choked on her tears, and hugged harry tightly. harry gripped her back, and allison cried onto his hospital gown, without caring if he minded or not.


"i love you."


allison knew harry didn't know what to say, and allison didn't want to push him. they were both clueless of what would happen, and allison didn't want to know.


all she know is that she was in his arms, and she never wants to let go.


"i love you allison."
