Mine {Niall Horan sequel to Summer Love}

Chapter 31

--Chapter Thirty One--

*Payton's POV*

I opened my eyes slowly letting them adjusting to the light. I was laying in a hospital bed, in one of the gowns. I turned my head to see Niall sitting in a chair. He was holding my hand with one of his hands, and the other was rested on my stomach. His forehead was laying on the top of my hand and I figured he was sleeping. I picked my hand up slowly, it shook horribly. I was so weak it made me sick. I ran my fingers through his blonde hair, smiling to myself. Niall groaned sitting up to look at me. He had tear stains down his cheeks, and his eyes were red and puffy. "I'm sorry princess." He whispered bringing his hand up to my cheek. "For?" I cracked. "Not being there." He mumbled. His eyes started watering as he looked into mine. "Don't." I stated. He shook his head looking away from me, taking a deep breath. "How did you find out?" I asked. Niall took a deep breath, releasing it before speaking. "Cameron called. I assume he was still in the car, because I heard people yelling. He told me you were being bullied, and started cut-" He stopped putting his face in his hands, starting to cry. "Nialler..." I whispered, "Please don't cry." "I don't understand Payton. I don't understand!" He raised his voice looking up at me. I tilted my head down staring at the blankets. "How many times do I have to tell you?" He paused, placing his hand on my chin making me look at him. "You, Payton Marie Bentley are my life. You mean more than the world to me, and you don't even understand what would happen if I lost you." He continued. "I just want everything back to how it used to be..." I whined looking away from him. "Did you hear me?!" He yelled. "YES NIALL! I UNDERSTAND!" I screamed starting to cry. A nurse poked her head in the door, "Sir, if you are going to upset the patient, we will have to escort you away from her." She warned. Niall glared at her, "K." He muttered. "What else did Cameron say on the phone?" I asked. "He told me you started cutting your thighs. You two went out to eat, and a car pulled out and hit his side of the car. He told me you weren't breathing when they took you away...I thought for sure you were dead. He told me he did everything he could...and told me to get down here now, that you need me. Then he hung up." Niall finished. "I regret doing all of-" "Why didn't you tell me?" Niall asked, cutting me off. "Tell you what..." I said sitting up a little. "That you were bullied...starting to cut. I mean, the doctors were about to put you in mental rehabilitation hospital Payton! They think you're going crazy!" Niall responded. "I am going crazy..." I mumbled. "No you're not. Don't tell yourself that." Niall said scooting his chair closer to my bed. "Nothing is getting better Niall. It's getting worse...and worse. I wish that car wreck would've killed me." I said shaking my head. "Yeah I wish I was dead. But you were still alive." Niall muttered. I glared over at him, "What?!" "See! How does that feel Payton? You always tell me you hate yourself, that you want to die! You almost died in that car wreck, is that what you want? To be away from everybody, be away from me forever?" Niall exclaimed. "No..." I whimpered. "Then shut up about it!" He scolded. "I mean...no I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap like that..." He said gently. I looked over at him, scanning his face. I brought my hands up to his face, placing one on his cheek and running my other hand through his hair. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath, placing his hand on top of my hand. "I love you." I whispered. "I know babe. I love you more." He responded opening his eyes to look at me. "Niall..." I started, pulling on him to get him closer to my face. He nodded connecting his lips with mine. Niall stood up from his chair, keeping his lips on mine. His foot got caught causing the chair to fall over making a loud noise. He pulled away for a second looking back at it, then leaning back down. I closed my eyes waiting for him, but there was nothing. I opened my eyes seeing him leaning over my face, grinning at me. "What are you-" He cut me off reconnecting our lips. I deepened the kiss and Niall pulled away. "I have to stop..." He chuckled. "Why?" I asked. "Just because." He mumbled. I gave him a weird look as he sat back down in his chair.

"Miss. Bentley you have some visitors. Would you like to see them?" My nurse asked. "Yeah...sure." I said smiling weakly. Niall grabbed my hand intertwining his fingers with mine. The door opened and I saw Ryan walk in, followed by Kelsey. "Niall? Hey man!" Ryan said walking over to Niall. "Hey!" Niall cheered getting up and hugging him. "Hey Kelsey." Niall smiled hugging her quickly. She nodded at him walking over to me. "Hi girly. How do you feel?" She asked gently. "Fine." I smiled. "Does your head hurt?" She asked. "Uh...no?" I laughed. "You have a big scratch along your forehead by your hairline." She frowned looking up at it. "Oh..." I mumbled. "Have you seen Cameron?" Kelsey asked. "No...have you?" I asked sitting up. "Yeah." She frowned looking away from me. "What's wrong with him?" I said holding my breath. "A part of the car went through his back fracturing mostly all of his left lung..." Kelsey sighed. "Ok? And...is he ok?!" I exclaimed. "They don't know." Kelsey mumbled. "They don't know?! Is he alive?!" I yelled. "Payton, calm down princess...please." Niall said rushing over to me. "He wasn't awake when I went in there. He is on a breathing tube and has a big mask. I don't think he is going to ma-" "Kelsey!" Niall yelled cutting her off. He gave her a hard stare. "He's strong..." She murmured. "Niall! Nice man!" I heard Ryan chuckle. "What?" Niall said. "She's pregnant? Nice!" Ryan smirked, winking at me. I shook my head letting go of Niall's hand covering my face. I was so sick of people talking about me being pregnant. Ryan was only thinking about what led to it...not anything about being happy for us. "Cut it out." Niall said. "When did this happen? Wait...you guys were drunk?" Ryan chuckled. The tears welled up in my eyes, everybody kept saying that. Now that Ryan said it...it made me feel even worse, because he knew both of us. "I said knock it off!" Niall snapped. "Geez man! Calm yourself I was just asking! No need to get worked up about your mistake!" He said shaking his head. "Ryan! What is wrong with you?!" Kelsey said widening her eyes at him. Niall grabbed the sheets, pulling them up to show my scars from where I cut. I gasped grabbing Niall's arm "Niall!" I cried. "You see that man?" Niall yelled referring to Ryan. Ryan widened his eyes looking at me, tears ran down my cheeks. "She cut herself because of fools like you that assume things! No we weren't drunk! Payton wanted to and so did I! I love her that's why I did it, it's not a 'mistake' either." Niall muttered. I smacked Niall's wrist covering my leg back up. Ryan didn't say anything and walked out of the room. "You're pregnant?! Congrats girl, Omg!" Kelsey exclaimed shaking my hand. I smiled at her, starting to laugh "Thanks." "Just ignore him. He's just jealous." She winked. Niall laughed grabbing my hand again, kissing the top of it. "Ugh. I'm leaving. You two are adorable...I can't take it!" She winked walking towards the door. "Get better chicka!" She called shutting the door. "Sorry babe." Niall said suddenly. "Quit saying you're sorry!" I said. "Sorry." He winked. I rolled my eyes, smiling a little turning away from him to look out the window. "You're beautiful." Niall whispered. I turned to look at him, and he smiled at me. "Thank you Ni." I smiled. He leaned down kissing me gently, I kissed back placing my hand on his chest. He pulled back smiling down at me. I blushed looking away from him, smiling.
