Still Abbie

Chapter 3

I hear as a voice speak 🗣. A voice that I had imagined saying my name for as long as I can remember.

"You alright" his strong Mullingar accent pierced through my ears👂.

No Niall I am not fine I am FUCKING SPEECHLESS 😶.

"Yeah I-I'm o-okay" I say in a raspy voice since I have been passed out 😵 .

"You don't sound too okay kid 👧"

Kid?? That was a bruise to my ego. Being called kid by the man 👨 who's name you constantly put into love calculators is a real sting 🦂

That was a worse burn 🔥 than when I said 'when I say the word hoe my mouth autocorrects to Chloe Byrne'

"Abbie can you hear what I'm saying?" he interrupted my overthinking before it could get any deeper.

Wait. He just said my name!!God he say that again.

Abbie. I like 👍 my name but only when he said it.

"ABBIE, can you hear 👂 me"

Shit I need to stop zoning out every time he opens his mouth 👄.

"Y-yeah I can hear you. My head is t-throbbing. What happened to m-me? And h-how do you know m-my name?"

"B-b-b-because the paramedic John knew who you were" his joking 🙃 manor instantly calmed my nerves 😬 . "You fainted by the way"

I breathed a laugh 😆. "Oh" that's al I could manage to say as I was still in a state of shock.

When I heard the intro to Best Song Ever I was confused 😕 "wait should the concert not be over, I thought each act only performs one song 🎵?"

"Well yeah unless your the main act, which we are!"

"Oh right yeah" I felt so stupid. My cheeks flushed and went as red as my hair. I avoided eye 👁 contact. His big blue eyes holding a strong 💪 gaze was all too much for me to handle right now from my vulnerable state.

In the distance I could hear 👂 the other boys saying goodnight 😴 to the crowd.

On a regular day I would be fucking distraught that I just missed a One ☝️ direction concert 🎶 but not today, because today I had one of the singers standing right in front of me tending to my wounds.

He rummaged through a drawer and I was wondering 💭 what he was trying to find.

"Where is it" he mumbled to himself. "There's always one ☝️ in here" he said under his breath.

When he pulled out a neck brace I was confused again for the millionth time tonight.

He noticed my confused 😐 expression. "Oh. One of the paramedics said that you have to put this on. You tore ligaments in your neck".

"Your fucking joking 🙃 me" I exclaimed.

"No Abbie I am being serious 🧐"

"No Niall I am NOT wearing that". His name sounded to foreign coming from my mouth 👄.

"Abbie! The paramedics told me you HAVE TO WEAR THIS, whether you like it or not. It either this or be in a wheelchair ♿️ for the rest of your days"

I signed. He had a point and I really didn't want to use the lift 🛗 in school 🏫 everyday. I wouldn't la a second in the canteen on a Friday (sausage roll day)

He handed me the neck brace and I proceeded to put it on until I noticed a slight smirk creep up his face which made me halt my actions.

"What?" I asked because I felt like I was missing out on a joke.

And then he burst out into his iconic laugh 😆 that just made me want to laugh as well but I was still confused

"I'm messi-"he couldn't even finish his sentence without breaking into another fit of laughter.

He finally gathers himself  "I was messing you fucking eejit" he says with tears 😭 forming in his eyes 👀 from laughing 😂 so much.

I uncontrollably back hand 🤚 him across the face out of reflex from doing it to my brother.

"Shit oh my god Niall I am so so sorry I didn't even, I don't know- I just I don't know. Oh my god I don't know why I did that. I think 💭 my hand-

I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence before I felt a sting 🦂 form on my cheek.

Did this bitch really just back hand 🤚 me.

I meet his blue eyes once against he looks at me with a deadpan stare and says "muscle spasms"

He both bust out laughing 😆 and I literally cannot breath I am laughing so much.

I just hope I don't piss my pants 🩲.

But just as a I thought 💭 I was in the clear I felt a familiar warmth trail down my leg 🦵.

No no no no no. Fuckkkkk. No this can't happen no no.

My bladder really did wake up this morning and chose violence.

I have to make up an excuse to get out of here. So I go with the first thing that comes to mind.

"Sorry is there a bathroom 🚽 here" I ask as aw was begging to calm down from my laughter.

"Ya, just down the hall and the it's the first door 🚪 on your right. But come back here to me before you leave"

"Okay, thank you 😊"

But as I left the first aid ⛑ room I sprinted. My legs 🦵 really said 'you wanna see some real speed bitch'.
