CHAPTER 15

DECISION AFTER SICK

Harry frowned. He couldn't move. His body hurt badly and he had a piercing headache. His head felt like a block and he just wanted to cut it off. He was freezing and had curled up in his sheets like a sardine, but nothing made him feel better. His phone rung but he was too weak to move to answer the phone, so he just laid on the bed, waiting for the phone to stop ringing.

He was staying at his house on the outskirt of the city, not at his parent's house which was in the heart of the city. He only stayed in his house when he got visitors, and his mom felt lonely whenever his father went out of the country for his business. Then, he remembered what had happened between him and Draco. He clenched his jaws and shut his eyes when he remembered how Draco had looked at him. He must be thinking I'm selling myself,Harry thought before he coughed lightly. He was already planning on quitting, maybe after a year, and get a new job. After all he was a smart guy and did graduated from his college.

He sneezed and curled tighter when the cold wind touched his skin. He shivered and slowly closed his eyes, drifting into a nightmare.

ooOoo

Draco knocked on the office door after being told to do so by a secretary. He heard a gentle yet stern voice from the inside asking him to come in. He strode inside, walking toward the bushy haired woman siting behind the desk, and he took a seat on the huge white sofa facing her.

"Oh, it's you,"Hermione said."Uh, what can I do for you? Or do you want to introduce yourself first? I'm Hermione Granger."

Draco nodded."I'm Draco and I'm here because I want to know where is Harry. I want to talk with him."

"Who are you to him, may I ask?" she asked cautiously.

"I'm his...," he thought at first then grinned at her."Boyfriend."

Hermione stared at Draco before she nodded her head."Oh! You're the Draco!" Draco raised his eyebrow."So, it's because of you that he was always so depressed," Hermione explained as she noticed Draco's confused look.

"Excuse me, what?" Draco asked, not believing whatever she had just said.

Hermione shrugged her shoulder."You know, when you broke up, Harry was like a robot. Doing things he only needed to do for the money, so that his mother would be well."

"What happened to his mother?" Draco asked, confused.

"His mother almost died in a car accident with his stepfather. His dad, you know, couldn't afford to pay the fees for surgery, so Harry had to work and that's where the modeling comes in," she explained."So you two got back together, right?"

"Uh, not really actually."

"Well, you should. He was so depressed when you guys broke up. He even couldn't eat at all.," she shook her bushy hair."I don't want to see him like that ever again. Go to his flat."

"Where is it?"

Hermione wrote the address on a piece of paper and gave it to Draco. He took the paper and walked out of the office.

ooOoo

It was just a small white house without even a gate or any guards. How could a famous model live like this? Stalkers could follow him here, Draco thought to himself while he shook his head slowly. He knocked on the light brown door but to no avail, no one answered it. He knocked again but this time it was a little louder. Still no answer from inside. "Harry?" he called loudly but not too loud to disturb other neighbour.

He was about to turn around to leave when his phone rung."Blaise?"

"Oh, glad you answered fast," Blaise said, sounding worried.

"What's wrong?"

"Harry called sick," Blaise stated out."He's at his house on the outskirts of the city. Wait, are you already there?"

"Yes, I am. He's here? No one is answering the door," Draco said while circling the house and coming back at the main door.

"He is probably asleep. His room is on the second floor, so it's hard to hear anything, and he doesn't have the doorbells as you can see," Blaise said.

Draco rolled his eyes."How did you know about this?"

"I'm his stalker," Blaise teased and laughed when he heard Draco huffing."Duh, Hermione told me. She said Harry called like twenty minutes after you left to tell her that he's sick but he insisted that he is alright."

Draco looked around on the window and spotted a drawing on the wall. He looked closely at it and saw an earphone. He smiled and then looked at it more closely. Well, that probably reminded Harry of him. He knelt down and sat on the porch. "I don't have a key and I can't barge in the window. I'm too big for it. I can't tear the door down, it's too large and thick wood." He mumbled alone.

"Maybe the key is under the mat," Blaise suggested.

Draco rolled his eyes and glanced down at the dark brown mat that said 'WELCOME'. "Who's dumb enough to hide the house key under it?" he said and nonetheless raised the mat and saw a key under it."Oh."

"What's with the oh?"

"It's here," he stated, staring at the small silvery key.

Blaise laughed."Oh my God! Harry. He didn't."

"Yeah, he did," Draco said and grabbed the key. He stood up and placed it in the keyhole. "Now, let's see if it's fake," he turned it and there was a click sound. He pushed the door and stepped inside."Whoa, it's open. Idiot Harry."

"Not really an idiot. I mean, who would think that someone is placing their house key under the mat nowadays, huh?" Blaise said. You smart dude didn't even thought about it and said it was stupid. Only resourceful people like us think like that. But still... I didn't expected the key to be there. He's a celebrity, duh! I bet he has lots of bodyguards, gates and stuff like that."

"No bodyguard anywhere and certainly I didn't pass by any gates," Draco said." I'm hanging up. I'll update his condition to you soon."

Before he ended the call, he heard Blaise said,"Don't rape him, Drake." Draco rolled his eyes and scanned the clean hall. Nothing unusual except for the constant dullness around. Full of black and white things, and no other color around.

He went upstairs and guessed that the big white door was Harry's room. He knocked on the door but no one answered. He opened it slowly and peeked inside. He saw Harry curled up on the bed, shivering. Draco ran toward harry and touched him on the forehead. Draco frowned and cursed."What the hell have you been doing?"

Harry open his eyes and looked up at Draco."Dray? Is that you?"

"Yeah, your savior."

ooOoo

Harry sat on his bed, clearly not remembering anything that had happened for the past few days. He stared at the white wall opposite to him and ran his finger in his dark hair. He looked at his cellphone and saw five messages. Two of them were from Hermione, one was from his mother and two others were from his father. He tossed his cellphone aside and remembered the last thing he had seen... Draco."That was a dream. He can't be here and... Took care of me, right?" he mumbled to himself.

He shook his head and jumped up from his bed. He went to the bathroom and changed his clothes. He went down and stopped in front of the sofa, staring at the man sleeping on it. "Whoa! Dray?" he pinched his arm to prove himself that he was not dreaming right now and it was not a dream, since wherever he pinched, it hurt.

Harry walked towards Draco slowly and looked at the clock on the wall that indicated six in the morning."How long have you been here, idiot? Don't tell me you took care of me?" he whispered and sighed before he went upstairs, grabbing a blanket and putting in on Draco. He shook his head as he stared at Draco."You shouldn't do this," he whispered again."You shouldn't care about me or else... I can't forget about you," he touched Draco's soft lips with his finger and stood up. He shook his head again and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He had a lot work to do today.

ooOoo

Draco remembered seeing Harry walking pass him in a blue shirt. He sat up from the sofa and smelled something good. Food? Who was cooking?He noticed the blanket draped above him. Who put this on me? Harry? He looked around and called,"Harry?" No one answered. He stood up and went to Harry's room but Harry was not there."Where is that guy?" His phone ring."Blaise?"

"Harry's at work again," Blaise said.

"Ah... So, he's back. He didn't even wake me up. Just left me alone here," he frowned and went down towards the kitchen. There was toast bread and fried bacon on a plate, with butter and blueberry jam bottle beside the plate and a hot coffee with a note stuck on it. Thanks,"At least he left me a note and made breakfast for me."

"He did?" Blaise exclaimed. "Let me have one. Is is hot dog, egg or bacon?"

"Shut up," Draco laughed. "I'm not sharing it and you know that I hate sharing. How do you know he's at work again?"

"Well, I was keeping tabs on his manager, Hermione. We've become friends and I almost visit her regularly," Blaise explained."Do you remember when we were on triple date along with Pansy? The dare for harry to kiss a girl?" Draco murmured a mmmm."That girl was Hermione and she said that was the first time she met Harry."

"Oh, really?" Draco asked."She was that Hermione?"

"Yup, she was."

"So, where are they now?" Draco asked, eating the toast bread casually.

"In her office, they're discussing something and I think it'll take a long time. Something with Harry...," Blaise trailed.

"You don't know what it is about?" Draco asked.

"I don't know... Yet. But I have a huge guess," Blaise said.

"What's your guess?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"He's giving up modeling," Blaise blurted out.

Draco choked. He coughed at what he have heard."He's what?"

"I think he is resigning on modeling."

"Why?"

"Because of...you, probably."

"Is that for sure?"

"Nope, I told you it's a guess but that was what it looked like when Hermione went out earlier to ask for some coffee. She looked stressed. Like she was losing a big shining diamond, and that diamond clearly is Harry," Blaise explained.

"I like your conclusions but we don't know if it is a fact yet," Draco said.

"We'll find out later but I think the conversation will still last for an hour at least. Want to come over here?" Blaise asked.

"Sure, where are you?" Draco asked.

"Outside Hermione's office with her secretary," Blaise laughed.

"Ginny will kill both of you, mate," Draco said and laughed.

"I'm not cheating."

"You're defensive meaning you're guilty," Draco teased.

"Actually, I was just learning something from this girl."

"I wonder what you can possibly have learned from her," Draco rolled his eyes.

"See it for yourself when you come here," Blaise said.

ooOoo

Harry tapped his left foot."What's the plan?"

"How can you drop something important like this so suddenly, Harry? Have you really thought about it?" Hermione asked with a troubled expression.

"I certainly did," Harry said."It's either I quit modeling without going on another career or I'll quit modeling and do something else. What do you think? Either way I'm quitting modeling. You know I hated it in the first place."

"Not really hated. You just not into it," Hermione corrected.

"Right, not into it. I got enough of people fantasizing about me in their bed about what isn't happening."

"Which person's bed are you going into anyway?" Hermione asked."Draco?"

"Certainly. If he let me," Harry laughed at her expression."Just kidding, plus I think he likes sleeping ont he sofa more than sharing a bed with me."

"What the hell are you saying, Harry?" Hermione asked, more troubled than before."You're so crazy with that guy. Why don't you just tell him you love him and live together."

"Wow, that's a piece of cake," Harry said sarcastically.

"I know, it's easy and yet you can't do it," Hermione said.

"It's not easy, Mione," Harry stated.

"Let me tell him if you can't," Hermione said.

"Shut up and let's stay on the matter at hand," Harry said."What do you think? That's the best I can think of. And I'm smart enough to handle a business. I'm thinking of a resort..."

"Oh, a resort. That will be a big hit," Hermione commented.

"Does that mean I'm out from the modeling world?" he asked, staring at Hermione."Am I?"

Hermione looked at Harry and let out a deep sigh before she gave a faint smile to him."I will miss you here, Harry. The company will surely lost many sponsors after you leave."

Harry smiled at her and hugged her."I'm not the only model who works with your company, Mione."
