Theres Always a Catch. (Austin Mahone One DirectionFAN FIC)

First Steps.

***Eli's POV***  

I was left alone in my room and I felt terrible. Terrible about asking people every minute if they can get things and do things for me. I hate it. I want to be independent.  

I sat in my bed and I needed to go.to the bathroom. Mom was asleep, Lucy was in her room, and I still don't remember Austin enough for me to ask him for that kind of assistance. I would ask for a nurse but they look like they get annoyed by patients. Except for one. 

My favorite nurse who takes care of me is an intern here. She's 16 and has long black hair to match her long black eyelashes. She's a singer and very good at it too. She's one of the nicest people I've ever met and never gets annoyed by any of her patients. Her names Maricela and she has a beautiful complexion. She really is beautiful. She works the night shift a lot so we hang out when I have nightmares late at night.  

She's not here right now so I have no real assistance.  

I figured, since I'm alone, I'd try. Try to walk, I mean. The bathroom is five steps away and if I can't make it, there's a railing. Ill stay close to it and hold on to it if I have to.  

I took off my oxygen mask and uncovered myself. I had on a pair of dark grey sweats and a black v-neck. Just some things I found in my suit case my mom packed. My hairs in a bun and I have no makeup on. Austins a keeper if he.still likes me like this.  

I put on my slippers that were next to my bed and took a deep breath.  

I slid my hands on my thighs and ignored the pain in my back. I put all my weight on my feet and stood up as tall as I could. Standing up was no problem for me. Physical motion was.  

I picked up my leg and sat it down and doing the same with the other. I stayed wabbling with every step and had my arms in pirouette position the whole time. I made it to the bathroom and smiled at my accomplishment.

Once I was done going to the bathroom, I finally got used to walking again. I walked even more stable than before and I had a smile from ear to ear.  

"Austin!!! Mom!!!" They came rushing in. My mom looked tired and alert while Austin just looked like a protective bear on his cub. I laughed at their expressions.  

"What!?"  

They were so panicked they still hadn't noticed I was standing on two feet.  

Instead ofof informing them I walked over to the two most naive people in the world. I pecked my mom on the cheek and Austin on the lips.  

They smiled and finally noticed. I nearly died of uncontrollable laughter. They had a stupid grin on their face and tried to make me stop laughing so they could hug me.  

"Oh My Gosh. Elizabeth Rose Ramirez. I'm so happy baby girl." My mom sounded extatic that I was getting back to who I was.  

Austin started laughing and I gave him a confused look. "Rose?" He burst out uncontrollable laughter. Once he was done, I had a grin on my face and my arms crossed. "What?" He said, wiping away a tear.  

I got in his face and he tried to kiss me but I moved. "Carter." I giggled and ran behind my mother to protect me.  

"Oh your so lucky you can get away right now!"  

"Oh am I!?!"  

"Mhm!"  

I laughed and came back to hug him. He picked me up and spun me around finally congratulating me for walking on my own.  

Just as that happened, Simon called my mom on her cell phone and she went from a really happy look back to alert at everything. Her eyes went wide and I can tell something wasnt right.
