An Angel Named Niall

Chapter 26

JULIETS POV

"Here honey, take this," a nurse told me as she handed me a cup of coffee. Her green colored eyes met my teary and fragile ones. I wiped my eyes and grabbed the cup. My shaky hands almost made it impossible to drink. She gave me a sincere smile and I knew she felt sorry for me. 

The coffee felt so good as it made its way through my throat. I needed the warmth. My appetite was gone and nothing mattered at that point. 

I noticed a little girl and her mom sitting at the far corner of the hall. The little girl was wrapped in her moms arms. The mom looked very devastated. We made eye contact and I knew at that point, we both were losing someone. 

Tears gathered in my eyes and I squished the empty cup. I couldn't believe this was happening. 

The day had passed and night came by quickly. I was still sitting in the same place and different nurses took positions. 

Seeing my grandma wasn't even in the picture. And even if I had the privilege, I don't know if I would've liked to see her like that.

My phone rang and it was a message from Matt. 

When I read his name, I got chills. I had this sudden fear that he was going to show up and do it all over again. 

I opened up the text and he had sent a picture from last night. It read "Hope you had fun. We should do it again."

I shut my eyes and took in a deep breath. Surprisingly no tears made their way through my eyes. I guessed it was all gone. Just like that. 

I threw my phone to the shiny ground and it smashed even more. 

"Your phone!" a nurse said looking at me in surprise I had done that. She grabbed it, looked at it, and handed it to me. 

The screen was still the same. I was surprised it didn't smash even more. I wanted to break this phone and never get a new one but Niall was the reason why I didn't let it go. 

As soon as I began thinking about Niall, What Makes You Beautiful came on. I looked everywhere to catch where it was coming from. 

Turned out a nurse had a small portable radio at her little desk. I watched as she tapped her pen to the beat. I couldn't believe I was crying. A slight smile came to my face at the thought of Niall and it went away when the thought of him and my grandma being gone. 

My grandma was almost gone and when she was, I didn't want to be alone. I didn't want Niall to leave me. But he was so sweet to me. He made me feel better and speak up. 

I sighed and a nurse scared me out of my thoughts by handing me a pillow. 

"We have a room we can lend you. It's not the most comfortable thing sleeping on a chair, especially at a hospital." 

All these nurses felt sorry for me. I didn't accept and decided to stay on the chair even though half my body was aching. 

An hour passed and I noticed a nurse pointing towards me. The doctor began walking my way. Not a smile on his face. 

"Juliet is it?" I nodded. He sounded hesitant. He looked at the ground and then at me. "Your grandma isn't doing well. I'm not able to say, as of now, that she will be better." 

At that moment, I froze.

"She has a second heart attack and usually the unwanted follows. We'll keep her on check but-"

He stopped and noticed the state I was in. It was obvious he didn't have the will power to tell me.  

He took in a breathe and said, "Your grandma might not make it through the night."
