Deception (N.H)

CHAPTER 44: 2 DAYS TO GO

"It was absolute shit." Harry ends off his rant about how bad the tour was without Niall. Turns out they called the hospital to check in with them about Niall like they have since the minute they left for tour while Niall's been in a coma.

The doctor, Mary, came to check on Niall. He's now just admitted to be monitored and we can leave tomorrow which is the best news I've gotten for months besides when Niall woke up.

We've sat here for about 30 long unbearable minutes listening to them go on and on about things that have happened. I trace patterns on Niall's chest as he does the same to my arm.

We were able to move positions so now I lay beside Niall, his arm wrapped around me and my head on his shoulder. I close my eyes as I take in Niall's gentle movements on my skin. The way his rough hands delicately trace patterns on my skin.

His slow breathing and the occasional rumble every time he laughed. My hand grabs hold of the hospital gown as I press myself closer to him. The door to Niall's room opens and a blonde nurse walks in.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry but the visiting hours are over. I must ask you to leave." She says, looking at all the boys besides Niall and they nod in return. She then turns to me and I smile. "I know, Stacy. Keep myself hidden and if anyone comes in just hide."

She gives me a smile and nods before turning to leave. "We'll be back tomorrow." The boys all gather their things and each hug Niall as best as they could before leaving.

I let out a sigh as the door clicked closed. I look up at Niall and breathe in his scent. "Hi." I whisper and he smiles. "Hi." He whispers back, his voice still somehow rough. "Hi." I giggle as I trace his jawline. "Hi." He smirks as he trails his fingers along my spine.

"Hi." My eyes are filled with amusement as he grins, squeezing my hips. "Hi." I move up a bit and place a kiss on his lips. "Hi." I whisper against them and he smiles once again. "Hi." He whispers after placing a kiss on my lips.

I place a kiss on his lips before my phone rings, interrupting our little moment. I sigh against his lips before giving him one last peck and pulling away. I sit up as I grab my phone.

"Hello?" I ask as soon as I accept the call.

"Hey." I instantly recognise the voice to be my mum. "How are you? How's tour going?"

I turn my head so I look at Niall. "It's different than I thought but it's been good. Had a few bumps in the road but all in all it's been quite a good time." Niall looks at me with an amused grin.

"Only a few months more, yeah?" My mum says excitedly.

"Yeah." I mumble looking down at my lap.

"I'm sorry darling, I have to go. I just wanted to check in because we haven't spoken in a while. I'll try to call you soon." Her voice filled with disappointment and urgency.

"Okay, I love you." I say and I know she's smiling.

"I love you too. Bye darling, be safe." I nod even though she can't see me.

"Bye." I whisper as I end the call.

Sighing, I throw my phone on the sofa next to the hospital bed. "You okay?" Niall asks as his hand rubs circles on my back. I shake my head as I bring my knees up to my chest. "Why not?" Niall says as he scratches my back gently.

"I don't know." I mumble, turning my head to look at him as he sits up. He nods and places a kiss on my shoulder. "Wanna listen to 'Iris'?" I quickly shake my head with wide eyes. "Why not? It's your favourite song. Maybe it'll make you feel better." I shake my head, trying to keep myself from crying.

"Was. After what happened, I can't listen to it." Niall's mouth opens a bit and he slowly nods. "Do you have another favourite song?" I shake my head, taking a deep breath.

"Maybe we could write one?" I smile and nod, leaning into his touch. "We don't have any instruments though." He points out looking around the room.

"How are you feeling?" I ask and he looks at me confused. "Does anything hurt? Is anything sore?" He shakes his head and I nod. "Come on." I get up and walk over to my bag, pulling out his clothes and handing it to him.

"You have my clothes?" He asks, looking at the clothes. "It helped to wear your clothes." He nods with a smile, kissing my head before pulling off his hospital gown. I hand him his clothes as he starts putting them on.

"We'll go through the back exit. That's how I used to get out before any nurses could throw me out before we created this system of me hiding out with you." He nods, grabbing our things and putting them in my bag. Hanging my bag over his shoulder, he grabs my hand and we walk to the door.

"Usually there's people outside but I think since you're awake there won't be many people. We could probably bribe the couple that might be there." I explain as I open the door. As soon as I open it, I come face to face with a very familiar guard. "Oh hey David." I say with a sheepish smile.

"Ms. Davidson, what do you think you're doing?" He says with a small smile and I sigh. "Come on, just a few hours. We'll be back before Mary comes to check on him." David looks at a confused Niall behind me before turning back to me and sighing. "I'll hunt you down and torture you before feeding you to Benny if I get fired."

I smile before running to him and hugging him. "Thank you D." He rolls his eyes, nodding, before letting go. I grab Niall's hand and pull him through the hospital. I lead him through the small exit I've managed to find a while back.

After a few struggles, we finally make it out and the cool air hits us. "Come on." I smile as I pull him towards his car. "The guys brought it here. They've been taking it out for a few drives so the battery doesn't die." He nods, touching his car with a small smile.

We get in and I let out a long breath as I turn on the heater and get comfortable. "Off to the studio." I say and he laughs as he begins driving. I look over at him and see him deep in thought. "When you were in a coma, the first month was the roughest." I say, looking out the window as I feel Niall's gaze momentarily turn to me.

"I wouldn't do anything. The nurses and security kept kicking me out but I kept trying to get back in. One day I found that small place and kept sneaking back in to be with you. That's when David found me. I snuck back in and he was there and I just froze. We had a talk and I somehow convinced him to let me stay. A few days after that, Stacy found out too. Slowly, everyone just knew I wasn't going to leave and they all just accepted it. We all created a plan that I would just hide if anyone came in. Worked wonderfully until you woke up." I explain as he listens intently. "Oh and Benny is David's dog. He wouldn't feed me to humans. At least I hope so but you never know what D is capable of." We both laugh before we come up to a signal.

Niall's hand grabs mine and he smiles at me when I turn to look at him. "Glad to see you missed me." I roll my eyes and turn on the radio to stop the conversation. Niall turns off the radio after a little while and I look at him in confusion.

"You owe me sex."
