The Perfect Storm (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 28 -- Time Has Past, But You Were Never Forgotten

Elsa's P.O.V.

As we got inside, Maura ushered us into the living room and I hugged Bobby, Greg, and Denise. They were all in shock and couldn't believe it was me. Eventually, Maura came into the living room and she brought all of us tea. She sat down next to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulder.

"I can't believe you're here." she said.

"I know it's amazing." I said.

"Now tell us please. How is this possible?" she asked.

"Well I make this short. About 12 months ago, as you all remember, Niall and I had got into a car accident, an accident where I wasn't supposed to live from, but I did. Shortly after I went into surgery, I went into a coma and for the first few weeks the doctors were sure I would wake up, but I never did. So they did more tests and found out I had severe brain damage, and I probably would never wake up. My sister, Sutton, insisted on keeping me on life support because she swore I squeezed her hand and smiled when she told me a story but that was around 8 months ago when it happened. So, the day I woke up my parents were in my room with a pastor and he prayed over me, left, and before I woke up they were discussing when they would take me off life support, and they decided right that day but then I woke up." I explained.

"But Niall, why did you tell all of us she was dead?" Greg asked. I watched as Niall moved around in his seat and I laced my fingers with his.

"It's okay." I whispered. He then gave me a weak smile and cleared his throat.

"When the doctor said Elsa wouldn't make it, I broke down. It killed me. I had lost the love of my life and my best friend in one night. I always blamed myself for what happened. I couldn't bare the thought of her family hating me and seeing them pull the plug on her life support. I went through it once with Felix and it nearly destroyed me. He was my best friend and it literally almost killed me. I never wanted to leave her but I couldn't do it. I know it was very selfish of me and I beat myself up everyday knowing that I was the reason she died. I killed her." he sobbed. I pulled him close to me and kissed the side of his head and tried to calm him down.

"I'm sorry if you all hate me now." Niall said.

"Niall, we could never hate you son." Bobby said. Niall's head instantly shot up and all his family was smiling.

"We love you Niall and we love Elsa as well." Greg said. Niall then looked at me and kissed my cheek.

A few hours later I helped Maura make dinner and we all talked for a long time and eventually Theo woke up, and Niall's currently playing with him. Maura and I are in the kitchen sitting at the table looking at some recent pictures.

"Elsa." she said and put her hand over mine.

"Ya?" I smiled.

"I'm so happy you're back. You know I've always loved you." she said.

"Well I love you too, Maura." I said.

"That Amelia girl was nothing compared to you. She was awful for my baby boy, but you are perfect. I always hoped you two would stay together and get married. I can see the love the two of you share. The love between you two is nothing like I've ever seen before. It's honestly true love and you're love is like a fairytale." she said.

"Maura that means so much to me. Thank you." I said and hugged her.

"Come on. Denise and Greg wanna discuss something." she said. We both got up and Maura took my hand and led me to the living room. When I walked in, I saw Niall holding Theo and I had to take a picture of him.

"Niall, smile." I said.

He turned around and brought Theo to his face and smiled.

"Aww how cute." I said.

I opened my twitter app on my phone and uploaded the picture.

I sat down on the closest couch and then Niall plopped down next to me and kissed my neck.

"I love the picture, and the fact that you called me your boy makes me so happy." he said.

"So Niall, since you came home Denise and I wanna tell you the great news." Greg said.

"And what's that?" he asked.

"We're getting married." he said and grabbed Denise's hand.

"That's awesome bro. I'm so proud of you." Niall said.

"Thanks. We know we kind of did it backwards by having Theo first but oh well. And Niall I want you to be my best man." Greg said.

"I'd be honored to be your best man." Niall said.

"And Elsa." Denise said.

"Ya?" I smiled.

"Now that you're back, we wanna make sure you come, but not only come. We've known each other for almost two years and I love you dearly, so I was wondering if you wanted to be one of my bridesmaids?" she asked.

"Denise, I would love to." I said and got up to hug her. "When's the wedding?"

"This coming weekend." Greg said.

"Oh wow. So in 6 days." I said.

"Ya, but don't worry. We have your dress Elsa and your tux Niall. You don't need too much. Just Niall you need to plan the bachelor party and Elsa you need to just show up to my bachelorette party." Denise said.

"Alright. Everything sounds amazing." I smiled.
