One Way or Another (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 17

I felt someone shaking me awake. I opened my eyes to see Louis. The sunlight shined brightly in the room. "Wake up, sleepy!" Louis shouted, "It's morning and you get to leave today!"

I just remembered that I was in the hospital from the incident with those fans. That was the reason Harry broke up with me. I shooed those thoughts away. I didn't want to become upset again. It was a new day, and we were still best friends. Everything was going to be alright.

"Lovely seeing you here this morning." I said towards Louis.

He chuckled slightly. "Get your lazy arse out of the bed! Let's go home!" He yelled.

I starting laughing and sat up straight and grunted a bit. My ribcage killed me. A nurse came in soon after to unhook me from machines. They told me that I was going to fine. I didn't have to stay the night like they thought I did. I was thrilled that nothing was completely wrong except the pain in the ribs and my memory was a bit off.

"Whoa! Where did that come from?" Louis asked pointing towards the stuffed animal and flowers on the table next to me. "Someone paid you a little visit, eh?" He walked towards my presents.

I did remember someone coming in and visiting late last night. I just couldn't remember who it exactly was. I shrugged. There was a card in the flowers. They were roses, my favorite. I picked up the card and read it.

Anna, I hope you feel better! I think that we should talk. I have some things I wanna say. Call me or something and we can meet up. Niall x

"Niall?" I whispered in disbelief. That was who visited me. He kissed me on the cheek and apologized for something. I remembered perfectly.

"Niall sent you all this?" Louis said admiring the stuffed animal. I nodded. "He really wants to fix things I guess. I know you guys got into a fight."

"But the fight was my fault. It's all my fault." I muttered the last sentence.

"Well maybe something else is happening. I'm not sure. I just know he never really does this unless he cares." Louis smiled.

I guess I'd have to call Niall once I get out. I was really curious as to what he wanted to talk about. I'd find out soon enough.

I left the hospital with Louis. He refused to let me go home alone, so I was going to be staying with him for the next few days. I didn't fight it. I loved Louis. He was like an older brother to me. He drove me back to my flat to pack up some clothes and other necessities.

Before I went back to Louis, I decided to call Niall. I figured that this would be some of my last moments of privacy until I came back. There was only a few rings before I heard Niall's Irish accent on the other side.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Hi, Niall. It's Anna." I responded. "You said you wanted to talk to me."

"Hi, Anna. Yeah, I do wanna talk to ya, but not on the phone. Can you meet me somewhere? I gotta do this in person."

"..Okay. Sure." I was slightly hesitant. I didn't want to break out into a fight like the last time we spoke. "Where do you wanna do this?"

"Come to my place. Or I'll go to yours if it's easier." Niall offered.

"I'm going to be staying with Louis for the next few days. We wouldn't have any privacy if you came." I explained.

"So I'll see you over here in about an hour?"

"Sure. See you then. Bye, Niall."

"Alright. Bye!"

We both hung up and I went back to meet up with Louis. He took my bags and threw them in his car. He opened the car door, and I jumped in the seat. He drove off back to his place. He was explaining to me in the car how him and Harry used to live together, but management made one of them move. That's really sad that best friends can't live together just because some people got the wrong idea, and they made a big deal of it. Turns out that Louis lives right next door, though.
