Little Things - A Niall Horan Fan Fiction

Chapter 16

It was like waking from a bad dream; with the panic in your breath when you finally wake and escape. But only this time, you were waking up in your own nightmare. 

Blurred vision and soft beeps from a machine nearby, Georgia knew exactly where she was. Her eyes felt heavy each time she blinked and he lips felt chapped with every breath. She looked down, and saw drips in herself, with a tight grip over both her wrists, she looked down and saw bandages wrapped around her delicate arms. Realising the slow beeps was her own heart beat, attached up to the machine. 

Again, she let herself down. 

Louis silently walked beside his friend as they entered the hospital, so unsure of the sight they'd see or the news they'd hear. Niall wasn't doing any good, you could tell in his eyes, the glossy texture of tears that were ready to fall at any moment if someone said the wrong thing. He was trying so hard to keep it all in, espically since he wasn't going to cry in front of Louis. That would've been the biggest piss take for Louis. But Louis too was close to crying, not because of almost losing his girlfriend, or if he felt guilty enough to even call her that. It was the fact he felt terrible; he lied, cheated and most of all made Georgia believe. He wasn't sure how he'd be the same around her after all of this, he wasn't sure whether he would tell Georgia the truth or keep lying to her. Louis's mind was just a big mess, he knew he'd screwed up. It also didn't help, he put Niall, his own close friend in this position. 

As they both reached the front reception, Niall shoved his hands in his pockets and weakly spoke, in a tired voice, "Hi, visiting hours are now aren't they?" 
The blonde receptionist, with the name Kelly on her name tag flashed her pearly whites, "Hiya darling, yes you've come at the right time. Now what's the name of the painent you're visiting?" 
For a moment, Niall didn't speak, he just looked down and sniffled. Straight away Louis knew that even the mention of her name in this state would bring himself to tears. So instead, Louis cleared his throat, "Georgia Bray is who we'd like to see, thank-you." 
"Ah," Kelly spoke as she typed away at the computer before her, "She's in the ICU on level 4, room 112"
As soon as she mentioned the ICU, Niall's head snapped up straight away, "That's the Intensive Care Unit, isn't it?"
Kelly nodded, and Niall choked on his own breath, "She-she's okay right? I mean, I-I can't lose her! She's not going to die is she?!" Louis had to hold his best friend as he was becomming weak at the knees.
"No, darling, she's going to be fine. She's been put there because her conditions are critical and she lost a lot of blood and overdosed on Xanx" Kelly softly spoke and under Louis's breath he took a shaky breath in, "Jesus," he spoke under his breath and suddenly he heard Niall break out into sobs. He felt so helpless for his friend, Louis had never seen Niall so worried about a girl. He also didn't know how bad or self-destructive Georgia really was. 
Interrupting his thoughts, Kelly, the receptionist spoke, "I think you should calm him down and take him to see his girlfriend"
Laughing softly, and feeling his gut turn Louis replied, "I'm the boyfriend here"
Kelly looked more than surprised, "Oh my. I'm sorry. You better watch out, he looks like he really cares for her"
Louis swallowed the lump in his throat, "Yeah.. He does."

After letting Niall calm down and convincing him numerous times that Georgia was going to be okay and Louis was just as worried, they both built up enough courage to see her. They weren't sure whether she'd be awake or in a deep sleep, it didn't bother the both of them at all though. All they wanted to do was see Georgia. While all at the same time fearing the state she'd be in.

ROOM 112 - in use
Paitent: Georgia Bray
Suicide Attempt

Both boys stood outside of her room, reading the plaque of plastic that had all of Georgia's details. Niall sat on the chair placed against the wall and took a shaky breath, "I can't do this. I can't bare to see her like this" 
Louis sighed and sat beside his friend while gently placing a comforting arm around him, "Yes.. You can. She's your best friend. She'll want to see you first"
Niall scoffed, "And you're her boyfriend" 
"I know," Louis breathed, "But I just need to clear my head before I see her. Plus, Kaylee's on her way and I'll just meet her down at the reception"
Looking up in concern, "You sure?" Niall spoke.
Louis half-heartedly smiled, "I'm sure"

And with that, Niall stood up shook his hair into place and pulled his baggy jeans up before pushing the cold hard door open and seeing the girl he loved looking as vunerable as she did the moment he found her. For a couple of seconds, Niall stood there helplessly watching her and listening to the soft beats of the heart monitor. He wished she could've just woken up and he simply would've took her away to some place where it'd only be the both of them. No problems, no worries, no fuck ups, no nothings. Just the both of them.

There was a seat propped right beside Georgia's bed and Niall wearily placed himself down as he acknowledged her state. It was less dramatic than Niall had pictured in his mind, so in that sense, he'd calmed himself down more. But being left alone in silence with Georgia and thinking he was the cause she ended up here made him once again, break out into tears. And this time he didn't feel like a bitch because Louis wasn't around, he just knew he could cry in front of her. 

Letting his head fall in between he's knees while placing his hand in Georgia's weak one. "I'm so sorry," Niall whispered, "I never knew things were so bad for you. I wanted to protect you, and take you away from all the things that were fucking you up. Because jesus Georgia, you deserve a perfect life, if that, even more than perfect." 
Suddenly, the heart monitor started to beep out of time and Niall started to panic as he saw Georgia's chest rise as if she was having a fit of some sort. Niall ran to the door about to scream for a nurse when he heard her weak voice speak, "Niall?

Niall's heart almost flew out of his chest as her heard her speak, it wasn't the usual up-beat, happy-to-see-him voice. But he heard in her tone, even at her lowest point, that Georgia was happy to see him. He turned around and sighed relief, "You're awake" was all Niall said as he sat back down. Georgia stiffly nodded, slightly turning her head to the side, "And you're..here" 
Just liked Georgia he nodded, "Yeah.. I'm right here," he softly laughs the became serious, "How are you feeling?"
Pursing her dry lips together, Georgia quietly spoke, "I'm sore. But I've had shitter days,"  she laughed, trying to cover the actual pain she was in.
Niall was going to say something, but he wasn't sure what and he'd already said what he needed to say, and maybe Georgia was expecting more of him, but all that came out was, "Louis's here too."

Georgia was in the middle of coughing when she heard those words, the last person she wanted to see, "What?"
Niall again repeated what he'd just said, and noticed Georgia's eyes start to brim and you could almost hear her teeth clenching, "Get him the fuck away from me"
Confused as ever, Niall pulled his eyebrows together, "Georgia? What are you talking about?"
"He..he's the reason I'm here," she begun to choke on her tears, "after..that night w-we spent together I thought I'd go see him, bring him breakfast and then.." she trailed off into her own thoughts, "And then I saw them..she was on top of him..screaming his name. And I-I I couldn't even bare it..just..just get him out of here." 

Instead of staying calm, Niall stood up, his fists in balls, knuckles turning white and his face heating up. Without taking a look at Georgia before leaving the room, Niall pushed out the door and saw Louis sitting there beside Kaylee with both his hands cupped between his legs and without hesitating, all the strength Niall had in him was enough to pull Louis by the collar and shoving him up against the wall, making a slight bang, "What the fuck man?" Louis almost whimpered, as he had no room to breath with Niall was that close to his chest.
"You cunt," Niall growled, "You fucking twisted bastard."
