A Different Life!

Chapter 42!

~Ary's POV~

"Ok Ary c'mon shots!" Harry begs. I cross my arms and look at Liam. "Guys leave her alone she doesn't want to do it" He says. The lads back off and leave me alone. I grab my crutches and hobble towards the movie room where Ryleigh is. "These boys can be really annoying sometimes" I tell her. She smirks and nods. "Tell me about it." She says. "You know that birthdays come with birthday presents right?"Harry says as he comes into the room. "I don't want presents." I state bluntly. "Oh but you do!" He says and sits inbetween me and Ryleigh. "Fine Harry whatever it takes to make you shut up!" I say. "Geez what's up your ass?" He asks. "Nothing never mind" I say and leave the room up to my bedroom. I close the door and lock it. "Cory!" Someone yells through my door. "Go away!" I yell. "Let me in please" They beg. "I just want to be alone ok" I yell back. "Babe, please" They yell back. Obviously it's Niall. I groan and get up. I unlock the door and open it up. Niall grabs my waist and walks into my room carrying me. He closes the door behind him and locks it. "What do you want?" I ask and try to wiggle from his grasp but can't due to my knee. He presses his lips against mine and runs his hand through my hair. We pull apart. "Why'd you do that?" I ask. "Because your either sad or mad so I came to cheer you up." He says. "You can cheer me up all you want" I giggle. He smiles and kisses me again. "Ok but before I cheer you up you have to explain why your so mad." He says. "Ugh...why can't you just kiss me?" I ask. "Because I need to know" He says. "Fine" I say. He lets go of me so I can hobble back to my bed. I sit down and lean against the bed post. "I don't want this Niall. My knee is freakin messed up and it's my birthday. I don't want to sound selfish or anything but I don't want this and especially not on my birthday." I say as tears flow down my cheeks. "You don't sound selfish. No one would want this....but listen maybe we can celebrate your birthday some day when you feel better" He says. "No it's fine we can just do it today" I tell him. "Ok now I'll cheer you up." He says. "Don't bother I look like a mess" I say and wipe some tears from my cheek. "But your still beautiful and that's enough for me" He says and sits next to me. I lean over and kiss his cheek. He shoves me down on the bed and kisses me. "Happy birthday!" He whispers. I put my hands on his cheeks and pull him so that his lips are against mine. "I love you, Horan" I whisper. "I love you too, Payne" He whispers. I kiss him again. "Seriously there are presents downstairs for you if you want 'em" He says. "Fine, if you insist" I say. He pulls me up and hands me my crutches. I crutch out of the door and downstairs. Liam greets me with a hug. He leads me to the couch and sits next to me. I cuddle into his chest and take a deep breath. "You'll be ok" He whispers to me. I give him a weak smile and grip his t-shirt. "So your going to open your presents?" Louis asks. I nod. He smiles and runs to gather everyone else. "He's strange" I whisper to Liam. "Yea!" He says. I smirk and watch as Niall sits down next to me. "First present is from me!" Harry says. I smile and take the box from him. I unwrap it and pull the box open. Harry got me special art pens! "Geez dude how much did you spend on these?" I ask. "That doesn't matter it's your birthday!" He says. I roll my eyes and thank him. "My turn!" Louis says. He hands me a small box. I open it and see a gorgeous necklace. "Louis it's gorgeous." I say. He smiles. "Thanks Lou" I say.

-----------------------------------------------------

I finish opening the presents. "I'm tired I'm gonna go to sleep" I whisper to Niall. "My room's open if you want" He whispers back. I nod and go upstairs kinda hoping  that Niall would join me. I hobble into his room and sit down on his bed. I look at my knee. It's swollen. I gotta switch the gause. "Hey" A boy with and irish accent says. I turn around and see Niall. "Hey...." I say and look back at my knee. "You ok?" He asks. "That's the millionth time you've asked me that" I say. He smirks and crawls onto the bed. "You still have to answer my question." He says. "Niall I'm not going to ever be ok until this is over" I say and motion towards my knee. "You'll be fine....you've got me" He says. "Uh..thanks Niall"I say. "You know you have to change he gause on that." He says. "I know I just don't want to look at it" I say. "You want me to do it?" He asks. I bite my lip and nod. "I'll go grab the stuff.....don't worry you'll be ok Ary" He says and kisses my forehead. He gets up and leaves to my room. After a couple minutes he comes back. "Ok, just close your eyes and you won't have to look" He says. I giggle and close my eyes. I feel the cool air hit my knee where the gause used to be as Niall takes of the old. He places the new gause on. "Ok finished!" He announces. I open me eyes and smile. "What?" He asks. "I just don't know what I would do without you." I say. "You'd probably take a very long dirt nap" He says. "Oh wow thanks!" I say. He laughs and sits down next to me."Time for you to get some sleep" He says. "Yes sir!" I say and roll my eyes."Don't worry I'm going to join you" He says. "I know" I giggle. He rolls his eyes and turns around. I crawl under the duvet and lay my head on the pillow. I really do have a good life, it's just a bump in the road. Yea I probably made a big deal out of it but you don't know what it's like. Niall walks into the room from the bathroom and smiles at me. "Stop smiling." I say. He rolls his eyes and climbs into bed next to me. I roll over and rest my head on his shoulder and my hand on his chest. He puts his hand over my hand and smiles. "Happy birthday gorgeous!" He whispers. He kisses my forehead and I fall asleep in his comforting arms.

-------------------------------------------------

"Ary wake up!" Niall whispers to me. My eyes peel open. "Since when do I have to wake up at a certain time?" I groan. "Since it's almost noon" He says. "So yesterday was my birthday I think I deserve to at least sleep in....and you have to stay here with me" I say. "Wow....your very persuasive...if anyone asks this was your idea." He says. "Ooh yea I know." I say and snuggle into his chest. "Your right we should just stay here" He says and wraps me closer to him. He looks down at me and kisses me. Niall curls his finger around a piece of my hair. "I love you Ary..I really do" He whispers. "I love you too...Niall" I say. He cups my face hin his hand and kisses me. This is perfect. I don't really want anything else.
