Justin's POV.


When I first woke up, all I wanted to do was throw up all the the water I could feel in my stomach. I tried to open my eyes, when I heard Niall next to me, but I couldn't. I started to panick but it didn't matter, because my body wouldn't move and I couldn't make a sound. It was like everything was too heavy for me to handle, which I guess was true.

I stopped trying after a while, and just lay there listening to the soft irish voice which was like music to my ears. All I wanted to do was reach out my hand and pull Niall close to me, just hold him in my arms and never let go.

As I lay there I started to think. Why was I lying here? Why can't I open my eyes? Where am I? Everything came to me left right and centre, and I started to panic again. 

I tried with all my energy to open my eyes. I tried, and tried and tried, but it was just no use. 

I was about to give up, but then I heard him say it. I heard him say he loved me. He loves me. Niall fucking Horan loves me. And that when I knew I had to open my eyes, it wasn't an option anymore. 

With one final push my eyes shot open and floods of light covered my eyes.

I could hear someone voices;

"Justin, Justin you're awake! Justin! Justin?.. Out of the way, son, you need to leave.. No, I'm not leaving him! Justin!.. Get out, Niall.. No, stop it! Get off of me!.. Niall come on.."

The sound of Niall crying out made me upset and I tried to get up to see him but I couldn't, and suddenly I realised that I couldn't even breathe. 

"Justin, lie down." I could see again now, and a small nurse that had a blue robe on, was trying to push me down from my sitting position that I had managed to haul myself up to.

There were doctors and nurses left right and centre, and I panicked even more. Why were they surrounding me? What's wrong with me? 

Suddenly, a small plastic mask was pressed harshly down onto my face. I flinched away a little, but after a few moments I took a deep breath in. 

It hurt to breath and unbearable pain shot to my head, and I could still feel water sloshing in my stomach.

After a few more minutes the doctors had finished fiddling with the machines around me and whatnot, by breathing went somewhat back to normal and I could see properly.

"Justin," The nurse said, and pulled the mask away from my face.

I looked up at her and nodded a little, croaking out a "yes." 

"I'm sure your friends and family want to see you, are you okay with that?" She asked, before turning to the door.

"A-Alright." I managed to say, but my voice was quiet and raspy, and it hurt to speak.

The nurse nodded and left the room, before I fell back down because my arms were too weak to hold me.

"Justin?" I recognised Maddie's voice instantly, and I smiled as she stumbled into the room.

"Justin!" She squeeled. I laughed and put his hand out to grab Maddie's, after she leaned down and hugged him gently. 

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for making you mad, it was my fault. And when I saw you in the pool I just wanted to cry and I'm so so so sorry, Justin." She babbled on and on and I could tell she was about to cry.

I smiled and shook my head, because I didn't want to talk when I didn't have too. "It's o-ok."

And then started thinking over what she had just said. 'When I saw you in the pool..' What does that mean?

"Pool? What d-do you mean?" I gasped, looking up at her with worried eyes.

Maddie sighed and shook her head. "You don't remember." She scoffed a little and then looked up at me again.

"You and Niall. You, uh, you got drunk. And you went skinny dipping, and uh, yeah." She smiled sadly at me. "Niall saved you. He's blaming himself and he's a mess right now." 

Hearing those words broke my heart, and I just wanted to wrap him up in my arms. "Where is he?" I said, sitting up and trying to see out of the window.

"He got upset, I think Harry's calming him down. Want me to get him?" She asked, standing up and smiling down at me.

"Please." I wispered.

Niall struggled and tried to shrug off Zayn's arms from around him as he pulled the blonde out of Justin's hospital room.

"Niall, stop fucking struggling." Zayn hissed into his ear when he finally got him out of the room. 

"Why won't they let me stay?" Niall shouted, finally pulling away from the other boy and shoving him off of him.

"They'll let you in in a minute, let's go outside." Harry said, grabbing Nialls wrist and ignoring his protesting. He pulled him outside and Niall instantly started shivering. 

"Harry, it's cold out here. Why are we outside?" He grumbled as he fell into step beside Harry.

"Look, Ni. Justin's probably gonna be tired, and upset, and he probably won't remember what happened that night, ok?" Curly said, ignoring Niall's questions. "If he doesn't ask, then don't bring it up. Not yet. We'll make sure he's stable before we tell him anything, ok?"

"Why? That's stupid." Niall huffed and crossed his arms over his chest like a four year old.

"Stop being such a child." Harry said, "This is for Justin." He said, and put a reassuring hand on his bestfriend's shoulder.

Niall sighed but nodded anyway.

"You calmed down now? You can go see him." Harry said, raising a hand to brush through his curls.

 Niall nodded and pulled Harry in for a quick hug, because he really did appreciate the fact that his best friend supported him. "I love you, Haz." He whispered into the younger boys chest.

Harry chuckled and ran a hand through Niall's hair, "I love you too, buddy. Now go and see your lover." 

Niall didn't have to be told twice, and was back in the hospital before the other boy could even blink. 

 "Justin? Justin!" He half-shouted as he flew into the room. 

Maddie grinned and winked at Justin, before leaving to give them some privacy.

"Hey, Nialler." Justin's face lit up and he opened his arms out for Niall to fall into. 

"I'm so sorry Justin, you should have just said you couldn't swim I would never have suggested it. I'm so, so sorry." The blonde rambled, only lifting his head from it's place buried in Justin's chest, to talk.

"It's not your fault, silly." Justin grinned, stroking Niall's hair and smiling at the blonde infront of him.

"It is. It was my idea to go skinny dipping!" He said.

"We were drunk, you could have suggested anything and I would have agreed." Justin blushed and shrugged a littl. He opened his mouth to say something else, but was caught off guard when Niall clung tightly again to his chest. 

"And and Ni?" Justin said, still twirling his fingers in the blonde hair. "I love you too."
