He's my best friend not my boyfriend!

Chapter Thirty!

Niall's pov!

"Taylor!" I yell. She had blood coming out of the wound on her shoulder. She took the bullet for me. I was supposed to be shot not her. Why would she do that?

"Well not who I was hoping to shoot, but I'm glad it was your girl friend. I bet that hurts just as much as the bullet hitting you," the old dude said. Girlfriend!? Why did he think that?

"Niall. Calm down. Let's get her to the hospital. Erika is calling the police. They will be here soon," the girl, I think Melissa, said. How could I be calm at a time like this? We have already had three shootings! I grabbed Tay and held her bridal style.

"We don't have time for the police!" I yell. The restuant already evacuted but the trainers and their 'students' and the couple all stayed. I layed Taylor on a clean table. This was the table she was cleaning earlier when I was surving the couple. Hm. "Get me a cold towel, a wrap, and guaws!" I yelled at them. They were all back with the supplies. I took the rag and whipped it off as best as i could getting a wince from Taylor. I slowly got the guaws and placed them over the wound. I wrpped it up slowly. "Don't move," I whisper to Taylor.

That is when I heard another shot go off.

This time, it was......

Louis' pov!

"SAM!!!!!!" That idiot just shot Sammy in the leg. What is with this guy!? Well like the police officer said. It's just defence. I was going to run at him but Liam beat me to it. He took boxing so I wasn't surprised when he had the gun out of the lads hand. I charged at him right after Liam picked the gun up off the ground. I hit the guy right in the chest. Considering he aasn't expecting it, he fell backwards, right onto the table hisdate was sitting on. She ran. Gosh woman! All it took for you to leave was him ruining your salad!? Stuborn much?

The guy recoveredand sent me flying. I hit a wall and slid to the floor. Then everything went black.

•••••••••••••••••••

I woke up in a hospital bet. Why am I in a bed and Sam is beside me looking just fine? Her leg was in a cast....Is it broken? She was supposed to be hit by a bullet not have a broken foot or leg or whatever!

"Hey Handsome," she says noticing I'm awake and kissed my forehead. I smiled. "How are you feeling?"

I laughed, but I winced. "Why am I in a hospital bed? What happened afater I blacked out? Why do you have a cast?" I say all too quickly and wince again. She had a tear run down her face.

"Calm down. I don't need you in more.pain than you already are,".she says and pushes me back down onto my pillow.

"Well then what happened!?" I say.

"Lad you passed out. But before you did, Taylor saved Niall and took a bullet; Sam got shot in the leg, which by the way, broke a bone; me and you charged the guy and you got thrown across the room then you blacked out," Liam said, just walking into the room.

"Why am I in a hospital bed!!!?" I yelled.

"When you hit the wall, a bone in you back cracked. They have to do surgery," Sam whispered. "As soon as I fojnd out, I told them to give me a cast and a wheelchair that I had to come see you. I've been here ever since," she said.

"How is Taylor? Is she okay?" I ask.

"Yeah. They got the bullet out a few days ago. She is resting now. That's where I was before I came in here," Liam said.

"A few days ago!? How long have I been unconcious?" I ask. Why didn't they try waking me up?

"Um. Five days."

I couldn't believe my ears. Why? Why did the old prick come to the restuarant in the first place? Why my friends? Why me? Why now? What did we do wrong?

"Louis Tomlinson?" A nurse asked. I nod. "Okay so how are you feeling?"

"I've felt like Superman before. Right now I feel as if I had eaten kriptonite," I say. The nurse giggles.

"Okay. Well we are taking you into surgary now. If we don't you will start to feel major pain," she explains. I nod. Then I got wheeled away.

Taylor's pov!

Well. I have just been informed that Lou is going into labor. Just kidding! Wow that would be awkward. But he is going into surgary. Poor kid.

I have a surprise! Niall told me something last night I will never forget.

FLASHBACK!

It was nine o'clock and everyone went out for food. Niall was the only one who didn't which was not normal. He loves food!

"Hi," I whisper as he walks over and sits on the bedside chair.

"Ello Love. How are you doing?" He asks.

"I've been better," I say. He chuckles. He takes my hand in his. Not really holding it but examining it.

"I have a question," he says. I nod trying to get him to continue. "Why-Why did you take a bullet to the shoulder for me?" I was tooken aback by the question but I deside to tell him the truth.

"Because-Because I care about you, Ni."

"Really? You care enough about me to take a bullet?" He asks. I hesitate but nod slowly.

"Why did you nurse me until the police got there? It was because you cared. Am I right?" I ask.

"Does this answer you question?" I was kind of confused at first then he started to lean in. My eyes got wide. Oh. My. Wow. I'm going to kiss Niall. I closed my eyes and met him half way. His lips were soft. Hmm.

"MY EYES!" Harry said from the door. We both pulled away and laughed.

Niall leaned down next to my ear. "I think I love you," he whispered.

"I know I love you," I whispered back. His face got red and I giggled. "I think I need some rest. Good night you guys." And with that I driftedoff into a dead sleep.

END.

"Tay. Why is your face so red?" Em asked. I came back to reality.

"Oh. Um. I was just thinking what if Lou went into labor," I said. Everyone started to laugh. Sam and Liam just walking in. We told them what we were laughing about and Liam laughed too. Samantha on the other hand looked like she was going to cry. "Oh. I'm sorry Samantha. I just thought it would brighten the mood."

"It's okay. He should be out of surgary in about a hour," she said. We all nod.

This wasn't at all what I thought the week would go at all.
