My Protector

Chapter 15

Hours later, I woke up, and Niall was gone. There was no note or anything. I wanted to get up and look for him, but I couldn't. My body was still unable to move without an excruciating pain rocking my body. So I yelled his name and within seconds, he was by my side.

            "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly as he looked around the room for a reason to explain why I had called him.

            "I just wanted to know where you were," I said.

            "Oh, I was eating dinner with the boys. I'll bring you some food. Let me get it."

            Niall left the room and minutes later he arrived with a tray full of food. A plate filled with pasta and salad was sat on my lap.

            "Thanks," I smiled and began to eat. He sat in the chair across from the bed and watched me; his eyes never leaving me.

            "Feeling any better?" He asked, breaking the silence. I, then, realized that I had slept for practically the whole day.

            "Yeah a little, but I kinda need to pee," I said awkwardly after finishing my dinner.

I mentally slapped myself after blurting this out. But I really needed to pee and I couldn't just get up and walk into the bathroom, so I needed his assistance.

            "Here, I'll take you to the bathroom," He laughed, carefully picked me up bridal style, and carried me several feet to the bathroom and next to the toilet.

            "Okay, thanks, but you don't need to be in here when I pee," I said awkwardly once again.

            "Right, call me when you need me," He closed the door behind him.

            After using the bathroom, I called his name. While washing my hands, I realized I hadn't showered in two days and I had dry blood all on my arms. I smelled like crap too. Yeah it was time for a cleaning.
