Rumor Has It (HIATUS)

Chapter 9

-Niall's POV-

I almost passed out at all the blood that was there. I got down, and checked her pulse. Her heart was still beating.

Thank God.

I scooped her up in my arms, and began to cry when I saw the razor that she used, covered with dry blood. I would punch something, but I was carrying her.

Gosh, why would she do this to herself?? I was furious.

If Tara hadn't been so dumb, and arrogant, and believed her when she said she she didn't sleep with her damn boyfriend, none of this would have fucking happened. 

If she didn't have such a big ass mouth, Lauren would not have done this to herself.

I raced down the stairs, struggling to open the door. 

When I finally got out of the door, I opened the back door of my car, and laid her there.

I raced through the streets, and rushed into the hospital doors,

"Please help me!!!" I shouted. "Please help HER! PLEASE!" I shouted through tears, almost breathless. 

-Lauren's POV-

My eyes fluttered open to a room that was dimly lit. I looked around trying to figure out where I was , but everything still looked hazy. I leaned my head back, and just waited. My vision slowly returned, and I began to make out small figure walking into the door.

"Oh good, you're up! How are you feeling?" 

Oh great. I'm in a freakin' hospital. I felt a little dizzy and I couldn't really feel any part of my body, and my head ached.

"Good." I lied, because I wanted to get out of here.

"Great, because someone wants to see you.", she smiled and left the room.

Who could possibly want to see me?, I thought. I messed up. I looked at my bandaged arm. Look what I did to myself. Who could POSSIBLY want to see me.

Suddenly, the blonde-ish haired boy that I love to call my best friend walked in with a look of relief on his face.

"Oh my gosh, you're okay!!!", he yelled, as he hugged me. "I thought you left me....for good." He hugged me again.

A wave of guilt washed over me.

I put him through pain.

I worried him. 

How could I be so selfish?

"What happened?", I asked only remembering bits and pieces of what happened.

His happiness suddenly disappeared and turned into confusion, then anger and pain. He pulled my arm to my face. "This happened. Lauren, why the hell would you ever harm yourself like this? Do you know how close you were to...dying? Do you know how many people would be mourning your death right now?!"

"Not very many.", I muttered.

"Many people would, Lo."

"Yeah right."

"Yeah, I am right. He pushed my hair out of my face, and looked deep into my eyes. His blue eyes piercing through my soul. "Look Lo, even if nobody cried over you, you can bet that I would be the first one bawling like a baby." He pushed my hair behind my ears, and kept his hands there. "I know I'm not your boyfriend or anything but.....I love you.Like..Love, love you."

What?!?!? I could not believe my ears. Did Niall James Horan just tell me that he....LOVES me? I couldn't believe it. I know that I told him I hated him, but honestly, I know I loved him too.

He looked into my eyes, as I looked into his amazing eyes. I pressed my forehead against his. "I love you too." I whispered.

We leaned in, our lips only centimeters away from each other.

Then he pulled away.
