Chapter Eighteen

Niall's POV

"Niall! Wake up!" A sweet voice sang shaking my body, trying to awake me. I peeled my eyes open to see two beautiful green orbs staring down on me.
"Skylar?" I questioned. "You're awake?" I sat up quickly and took in my surroundings. I was seated in a chair. I didn't remember falling asleep in a chair. When did I come to the hospital?
"Yeah, I woke up a few hours ago, but you were asleep. I didn't want to wake you," She smiled warmly.
"I'm so glad you're awake!" I smiled excitedly. I grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her to my lap. I began kissing her face, grateful and excited to have her back in my arms.
"Me too. But Niall, I can stay long," She shook her head as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"What why?" I questioned nervously.
"I can only stay for a few minuets, I can't stay Niall. My family is waiting for me. I know you'll miss me, but don't let me hold you back Niall. You have so much ahead of you. I really don't have anything left," She shook her head.
"What!" I pleaded. "No Skylar, you have me. You have your music," I shook my head not believing her words.
"I know, but I don't think I can go on. My family is gone, my entire life," She whispered as she rested her head in her hands. "I don't want to hold you back,"
"You won't, please, Skylar. Stay. We can get through this. Please I'll give you anything you want. Just please stay," I pleaded tears streaming down my face.
"I'm sorry Niall. I love you so much. But you have to let me go," She whispered. She leaned down and pressed a warm kiss against my wet lips. She pulled back and I went to pull her back to me but she was gone.

I woke up gasping, a bright light blinding me as I shot forward. I had a thin layer of sweat covering my face and my body was trembling.
"Niall!" Liam's familiar voice rung through my ears. I looked over to see the worried boy getting up from his chair and making his way over to me.
"Are you okay?" He questioned, leaning down next to my bed.
"Where am I?" I asked shakily.
"The hospital, you're in Skylar's room," He stated his eyes flashing over to the bed next to mine, where my princess still laid, her eyes plastered shut.
"What happened?"
"You don't remember?" He asked looking down at my arms. I followed his gaze down and noticed my arms were wrapped up in a white gauze. "Why did you cut yourself Niall?" He questioned with pleading eyes.
"I don't know," I shook my head my fingers playing with the sticky fabric. Liam just stared back at me, not really sure what to say, which was weird for him since he usually always knew what to say. But I didn't blame him, I wouldn't know what to say either. I don't know why I did it, I just tried it.
"I'm going to go get the doctor to tell him you're awake," He whispered standing up and heading for the door.

I nodded slowly and looked back over to Skylar. She looked the same as when I had last seen her. Pale and skinny, that's all she was right now. She had little color to her skin except for the marks where her skin was still healing. She looked like she had dropped about twenty pounds just from being in here, which wasn't particularly good taking she used to be a good 130. She wasn't one of those skinny petite girls. She had muscle, she was curvy and I loved it. I didn't really like skinny girls. She used to get teased because she wasn't super skinny like the other girls. I told her not to listen to them because I thought she was perfect no matter what. However, now you could see her bones, her jaw and cheek bones were very profound. It pained me to see my princess look like that.

The door opening broke me out of my thoughts as the doctor walked in, Liam trailing not far behind him.

"Glad you're awake," The doctor said smiling slightly. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine, I guess," I mumbled.
"Any pain?" I shook my head and played with the white fabric on top of me.
"Okay, now, we need to talk about it," He said taking a seat next to my bed. "Why would you inflict pain on yourself?" He questioned resting his hands on my bed.
"I don't know why I did it honestly. I wasn't thinking," I mumbled.

Skylar's POV

Liam had come out into the hallway and got the doctor saying that Niall had woken. As soon as he said it, I dashed into the hospital room to see him staring at the white wrapping on his arm. It broke my heart know he'd done something to hurt himself, but now I knew how he felt when I had done the same thing so many times before. I walked over to his bedside when Liam and the new doctor entered the room. I crawled into his bed and laid beside him. The lack of emotion from him as I did so told me he wasn't able to feel my presence. I assumed he was just dealing and focusing on what the doctor was saying.

“We need to talk about it,” He said. “Why would you inflict pain on yourself?” He asked.

“I don't know why I did it honestly. I wasn't thinking.” He mumbled. I scooted closer to him as he continued, “I've just been under so much stress lately and I feel like I've lost everything. My life was absolutely perfect. I was living my dream, singing and playing my guitar. I was sharing my talent with the entire world along with my four brothers. I had the one girl I've ever loved at my side. When she was in the car accident, I just felt like I lost everything in that moment,” Niall looked down at his hands and a few tears escaped onto his cheeks.

It hurt so much to know that I was the reason he was going through this. I hated that I couldn’t do anything but lay in a hospital bed. I wanted to be there comforting him and holding his hand. I wanted to hold his hand and bring his cute smile back to his face. I couldn’t take seeing him like this. I didn't know how to do it, but I was going to try my best to get myself back in to my body. I will be strong enough to come back to him. Niall needed me in his life, and I needed him in mine. I was the only one who could make this decision, and I wasn't going to give up until I was in his warm embrace again.
