I opened my eyes only to close them again. I could hear people talking around me, multiple beeps and felt a sharp pain in my arm. I opened my eyes again and noticed I was in an ambulance, what happened? I soon realized Niall wasn’t to be found so I sat up as quick as I could and started panicking. I kept yelling at the paramedics and freaking out as they were trying to calm me down and get me to lay down again. No one would tell me where Niall was and I was not getting any better at controlling my anger at the paramedics it kept rising until we entered the hospital and I saw my mum. I reached for her and she ran to my side hugging me tight.
“Mum where’s Niall?” I asked her and started crying. She shook her head and told me she didn’t know where he was. She never once let go of me while the paramedics handed me over to the nurses and I got brought to one of the rooms.
“Baby calm down, let them fix your arm and we can go find Niall ok?” My mum asked brushing hair out of my face and trying to calm me down. I simply nodded and rested my head on her shoulder. I had a death grip on my mum’s hand while the nurse was putting stitches in my arm, it hurt a ton and I just wanted to get out of there.
Twenty stitches, a bunch of bandages and an hour later I was finally allowed to leave. As fast as I could I sprinted up to the nurses’ station and asked for Niall’s room. The news they told me was something I never wanted to hear.
“He’s in the intensive care unit sir, you can’t go up there yet but I can let you know when you can” A nurse told me with sympathy in her voice. All I could do was nod and run away. I ran right to the waiting room and into the arms of my mum and cried. I couldn’t take it, Niall can’t die he has to stay here, here with me, with us. I never got the chance to say I loved him more than as a friend. My mum tried to calm me down but it wasn’t working, nothing would until I was staring into those piercing blue eyes again.
Two hours. Two hours I sat in my mum’s lap watching the door, waiting on a nurse or a doctor to come out and tell me I can go see Niall. My eyes dried out a long time ago but I was still crying, rough, dry sobs. Finally the doctor came out and told me I could go see him, once he said the room number I didn’t care to listen to him; I sprinted off and went straight to Niall’s room dodging people in the hallways. As soon as I reached Niall’s door I stopped dead in my tracks, I couldn’t move, my hand shot up to my mouth. That should be me laying there on that bed connected to multiple machines, not Niall. He didn’t deserve this, I did. If only I took the first hint and went around the long way home instead of going the short cut this wouldn’t be happening. If only I kept my arm over him he would be fine, safe and in my arms again. I soon felt arms wrap around my waist and I fell into the comfort of my mum again.
“Baby calm down, it’s ok”
“No, no it’s not mum, I can’t calm down when the love of my life is laying there lifeless” I turned around in her arms and cried into her shoulder again. My mum knew how much I loved Niall, she was the only one I told about it and the only reason my sister knew was because she was listening to our conversation. But now Zayn knows and I could care less. I know they won’t judge me but the only thing missing was Niall. I was afraid of him rejecting me
I slowly walked over and took a seat next to his bed, gripping ahold of his ice cold hand. All I could do was sit there and stare at him wishing he would open his eyes. Hours went by, nurses came in and out, Liam even came to keep me company since my mom had to get home and he was coming up anyways to check on us. I closed my eyes and shot them straight open, took a look over Niall and quickly got up. I could feel Liam watching me but I didn’t care. I knew what would get Niall to wake up, it just had to work he needed his prince. Climbing on the bed I made sure to not touch the cords or pull anything. I leaned an inch from his face. “Niall, please you have to wake up, if you need a reason, it’s because I need you, I need you to be here with me, I love you so much and I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you” I quickly got out and kissed him. Not even a split second later Niall started kissing back. My eyes grew wide and I leaned away from him. One look and you could see his piercing blue eyes staring back at me with a smile.
Liam’s P.O.V
I was sitting next to Haz holding onto his hand watching Niall slowly breathe, out of nowhere Haz stood up and climbed onto the bed. I carefully watched him confused at what he was doing then he kissed Niall. My confusion turned into shock watching this, especially when Haz leaned up wide eyed and when I looked down I saw Niall awake and smiling. A blush slowly crept up on his cheeks as Haz hugged him tight and let out silent tears. Me myself couldn’t keep the tears back, my best friend was awake finally and the boy of his dreams sat here waiting for hours and hours and took the courage to kiss him out of nowhere to see if he would wake up.
Niall stole a quick kiss from Haz and when he looked over and saw me he turned a deeper shade of red. I couldn’t help but smile as I got up and hugged both of them. My babies are safe and both alive and breathing.
