I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Five

~Charlotte's POV~

I waited in the waiting room at the hospital, with Liam, Zayn, Harry and Louis. I was crying, and Harry was comforting me. Louis kept trying to make me laugh, but I just couldn't laugh. I wasn't injured in the car accident, only Niall. I felt bad, it should have been me.

"Louis, would you shut up already?" Harry said.

"Sorry, I'm just trying to lighten the mood." Louis replied, with his hands up in surrender.

"No, it's ok Louis. I know you're only trying to help." I said, softly.

"Charlotte, Louis, Zayn, Harry and Liam?" A nurse finally came.

I stood up, "Yeah?"

"Follow me."

We followed her to Niall's room and I ran up to him to give him a hug.

He put his arms out in front of me, "Who the hell are you?" he asked.

I was so confused, "Waht do you mean who am I? It's me."

He put his hand out for me to shake it, "Oh, nice to me you, me. My name is.. umm.. what's my name?"

"Ok, what the hell is going on?" I said, angrily.

A doctor came in and said, "The car accident has damaged his brain. He now has temporary amnesia."

"AMNESIA?!?" The boys and I said together.

"Yes, but only temporarily. He should be able to remember who you are and everything else in his life in about a week. You have to keep an eye on him though. He probably has no idea what anything is, so he could get hurt if you dont watch him. You can take him home whenever you like."

"Ok. So, would he remember anything that does for the next week, when he gets his memory back?"

"No. Anything he does while he has amnesia he won't remember when the amnesia is over." (A/N I knwo it doesn't work like that, but this is fiction, remember?)

"Ok, thanks doc," I said, and the doctor left.

It was late when we got home with Niall, and I took him to bed straight away. He still had no clue who we were and where he was, so tomorrow we were going to help him.

"This food is called Nandos. It is your favourite food in the whole world." Louis said. It was 11am and Niall had a little clue with who we were. Louis had bought some nandos for us and to refresh his memory.

"This is Charlotte. She is your bestfriend." Harry said, shaking me. I laughed.

"You are in a band with Zayn, Liam, Louis and Harry, known as One Direction and everyone loves you!" I explained.

That night, I put Niall in bed and sat next to him.

"Niall?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Do you remember giving me this ring?" I said, showing him the ring.

He looked confused at first but then he smiled, "Actually, I do! I gave it to you because I love you!"

I giggled and blushed, "I love you too, Nialler."

"No, I mean, I gave it to you because I really love you! I have had a crush on since we were like 5."

I was surprised with what he just said. Maybe it was just the amnesia talking.

"Really?"

"Really. You make me happy, and I wanted to make you happy, so I got it for you." he said.

"O-ok. Goodnight Niall." I said, then switched off the light and hopped into bed.

"Goodnight, Charlie," he whispered.

He remembered me. And he loves me.

The week went by quick. Zayn, Liam, Louis and Harry had all tweeted to their worried fans that Niall was ok and that he just had temporary amnesia. I still couldn't get off my mind that Niall actually said he loves me. For real. When he regained his memory, we told him what happened and then I decided to ask him about what he told me the other night.

"Nialler?"

"Yeah, Charlie?"

"Uhm, while you had amnesia, the other night, I asked you if you remembered the ring you got me."

"And?"

"And you said you remembered giving me the ring."

"Cool."

"No, but you also said something else." I said, nervous.

"What did I say?"

"You said t-that.. um... well, you said that you gave it to me... because you.. loved me." I said, slowly.

"Well, of course I love you! You're my bestfriend."

"No, you said that you really love me. You said you have had a crush on me since we were five." I explained.

He froze.

"Niall? Say something!" I said.

"Umm.. I don't know what to say."

"Is it true?" I said.

He looked down, "Yes."

"You love me?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? Everytime I'm around you I am way more happy. You make me happy, Charlie. Everything you do, makes me smile. You're beautiful in every way and you're probably the only person who has ever said my smile is beautiful." He grabbed my hands and whispered, "Please. Be my girlfriend. Let's just try dating. If it doesn't work, then we go back to being best friends."

I crushed my lips agaisnt his and put my arms around his neck. I felt his arms snake around my waist. I pulled away after a few seconds and whispered, "Ok, I will try."

"Really?" he cheered up.

"Really," I said, kissing him again.
