Band Mixers

CHAPTER 10

Niall's POV

I have to get out of this hospital, all the memories are constantly replaying in my mind. The endless amounts of fluids and I.V. lines, children screaming and parents crying. This bad memory wanting to replay, someone wanting to take another person from me. Once before taking my mothers own life and leaving me in despair. The same hospital rooms the same nurses and doctors doing the same stupid thing.

"It won't work!" I screamed a little to loudly, all heads turned towards me. "Niall are you okay?" Steph asked from her bed. The same white bed my mother had once been in, but somehow different.
"Huh..uh yeah I'm fine, I think I'll just go for a walk though. get some fresh air okay?" I got up and began walking towards the open door where like always the rush of doctors and nurses awaited on the outside. "Niall you can tell me if you don't want to be here and I'll be fine with it" she left those words lingering in my ears "no I'm fine"
I walked out the door head high trying to make those last words seem true.

I walked outside and the cold air hit my face with a sudden rush, I walked down the street with my hands in my pockets and my hoodie on. The air was cold and the streets where empty a sudden feel of loneliness swept over me, I looked up into Stephane's window and saw her staring back at me. I quickly walked into the canopy of trees in the hospital garden.

This was the one place where my thoughts where free and no one judges me - partially because there was never anyone here. The garden was kept clean and always tidy never a leaf out of place. I wonder how many people just sit and think down here, probably not many seeing the few walking lonely on the streets - the beggars and the homeless mainly.

My mother past away when I was about 16, I lived with her and most of my siblings. when I found out she was sick and hospitalised I knew this was not just one of the small visits. After hours of sitting through classes and waiting for school to end I ran from the bus to the same hospital. I later found out that my own mother had stage four cancer in her lungs and never has the gut to tell us when it was at stag one or two. I knew being locked up in a room all day wasn't what she wanted.

My mother is a very 'I'll do it 'till I die' type of person. So whenever I could I got her out of the room and into the garden. After a few days I was turned into one of the family members sadly sulking in the waiting room.

Hearing the sad cries of families and seeing the purity of the hospital rooms put off my temptation to be by Stephane's side. She has had lost of visitors lately I suppose she'd want a breaks well.

After my mothers death I got my own apartment and began everyday life again but it all felt way to different but the same. I trusted school and got into a good university as my mother would have liked. But with Steph I forget all of that and I don't want to loose her again, I feel as though she will never leave the hospital boundaries like my mother.

I walked slowly back to the hospital, the doors opens with a gush of the warm heaters running through the building. I make my way to the ICU and see many nurses in a bigger rush than usual as I started running towards Stephane's room two men pushed me back.
"Steph! Steph! Where is she? Why are you doing this to me? I want to see Stephane. what have you done with her?" I screamed.

My biggest nightmare was coming true...
