Memories

Chapter 22

*Stephanie's POV*

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

I heard a machine.

I felt a huge headache forming. I felt around where I was laying and felt an IV on my arm.

I shot my eyes open, I was in the hospital.

With as much strength I could I pulled half of my sheets off to see if I had everything attached to me. I did, I was grateful I didn't break anything.

I hear snoring to my left and slowly turn my head finding a sleeping Niall.

"Niall?" I groaned. I saw him jump and look at me.

"Steph? Shit Steph, thank God you're okay!" He got up and caressed my shoulder.

"Why Niall? Why did Kevin do this?" I asked letting a tear fall down.

Niall sighed and wiped the tear off me, "Fuck him, I already called the police. I'm just happy to know you're okay." His eyes were red, he's been crying.

"You didn't call my mom, right? I didn't want her to be worried."

He shook his head, "I didn't anyways, because I had no time."

I saw pillows scattered on a chair, "Did you sleep here all night?" I asked putting his hand into mine.

He tightened his grip, "Yes, I went to sleep about an hour ago, I thought I was going to lose you Stephanie, I couldn't ha-have someone else dying in my life, I would've been devastated," he broke out into tears.

My tears came out too, I pulled him down and tried giving him a tight hug.

"I know Niall, I couldn't leave you, I love you," I blurted out the last three words.

He froze at our hug and brought himself back.

"Oh God, I'm sorry, I was just in the mo-"

I was cut off by his lips latching onto mine.

I look to see his eyes closed, I closed my eyes also and kissed him back.

*Niall's POV*

I couldn't believe I was kissing Stephanie, my bestfriend since I was a kid.

It felt perfect.

I pulled away and wiped my eyes, "Steph, I lo-"

I was interrupted by the door opening and in came Stephanie's doctor.

"Oh you awoke!" He smiled shaking her hand, "My name is Dr. Cruz, how are you feeling?"

Stephanie smiled, "I feel good, thank God."

The doctor chuckled, "Yes indeed, so Stephanie, all you had was a small concussion, with the pills I prescribed for you, it can get rid of all your headaches," he told her passing her the prescription.

"When is she allowed to leave?" I asked.

He looked at his watch, "You guys can leave today. And by the way no driving for her for about a week."

He took her IVs off and shook both our hands and headed out the door.

"Thank God, no more of your driving," I laughed as I gathered her clothes and bag.

"Shut up! Let's go home Niall, I miss my bed," she got off the bed and and headed inside the bathroom to change.

After a few minutes she finally got out, "My head hurts alot," she stated as we walked out the room.

"Let's get you those pills," I smiled as we finally headed out of the hospital.

*A/N: Will Stephanie and Niall start liking eachother? Who knowsss? ;)*
