Valerie’s POV:
It had been about an hour since Kiara had drifted off to sleep and Liam was now calling Niall’s family, letting them know what was going on. Harry and Zayn had gone with Paul to clear some things with the press and let them know what had happened.
The door opened and a doctor came through.
“For Niall Horan?” I looked up and saw that Louis was going to talk to the doctor while the others were preoccupied. I took this as the time to wake Kiara up.
“Ki?” I said, shaking her softly, “Kiara, wake up.” She opened her eyes a little.
“Hmm?”
“Louis’s talking to the doctor about Niall,” I said. Kiara stretched and rubbed her eyes.
“He is?” I nodded just as Louis walked back into the room, a smile on his face.
“We can go and see him now,” Louis said, “We have to be quiet though. He’s in quite a bit of pain and the doctor said he’s really drowsy and a little loopy from the pain meds right now.” Perrie, Danielle, Holly, Kiara, and I nodded and we followed Louis as he walked down the hallway and over to Niall’s room.
“Hey Kiara,” I started, turning to her; “You should go and see him first.” The others agreed and Kiara walked over to the door, grabbed the door knob, and walked into the room.
Kiara’s POV:
I opened the door and slipped into the room. I turned to look at Niall.
He was asleep, no doubt from the meds. His arm was in a sling and his shoulder was bandaged. I walked over to the side of the bed and pulled a chair over. Unfortunately, the chair made a scraping sound and woke Niall.
“Kiara?” Niall said sleepily. I smiled.
“Yeah, it’s me Ni,” I said, sitting down, “How’re you feeling?” I asked softly. He gave a sleepy smile and he closed his eyes.
“Tired,” he said. I reached up to move some hair out of his face. He sighed, “Can you keep doing that Princess? It feels nice…” I smiled.
“Of course babe,” I said. I played with his hair as long as it took for him to fall asleep.
The door opened and I looked up to see the girls, Louis, and Liam in the doorway.
“Has he woken up?” Liam asked. I nodded.
“Yeah,” I said, “Briefly, then he went back to sleep.”
“Was he loopy?” Louis asked. Valerie elbowed him in the shoulder and gave him a look that told him to shut up.
“Nah,” I said, “He just said he was tired.” Everyone came in and sat down in seats around the room. Louis reached for the remote to turn on the TV and flipped to a random channel.
“Niall Horan, a member of the boy band One Direction, was shot earlier this evening. We have no word on what the cause for the shooting was or how he’s doing at the current time, but we will keep you updated.” Liam sighed.
“The fans are going to be in a frenzy,” he said. He took out his phone and typed a message out and sent it. My phone went off as my twitter feed blew up.
@NiallerForeva: @KiaraClarke Is Niall okay?!? What happened?!?
@1DLuva: @KiaraClarke OH MY GOD IS NIALL OKAY?!?!?!?! PLEASE TELL ME HE’S GOING TO BE OKAY!!!!
@Niam_Gurl: Why was he shot???? What’s going on??? @KiaraClarke is he okay???
I sighed and typed out a quick message.
@KiaraClarke: Niall’s doing just fine everyone. As to what happened, Harry and Zayn are clearing things up as I type this message…
I immediately got messages from relieved directioners, most wishing Niall a speedy recovery. The door opened again and Harry, Zayn, and Paul came into the room.
“Okay, things are cleared up now,” Paul said, “And I know this is the last thing you guys want to do right now, but you need to get some sleep, you do have a concert tomorrow.”
“The concert’s not going to be canceled?” Valerie asked and Paul shook his head.
“No, the boys will do the concerts without Niall until he’s ready to go back on stage.” Paul said.
My phone started buzzing from twitter messages but I didn’t check them right away, because I saw a sparkle from Perrie’s direction. My eyes were immediately drawn to her hand, more specifically, her ring finger. I caught her eye and held up my hand, silently asking her if the ring was what I thought it was. She smiled and nodded.
I grabbed my phone again and checked the twitter messages.
@1DUpdates: Niall Horan injured while protecting girlfriend! sns.mx/ATlNy2 @KiaraClarke
I scrolled through the feed and frowned when I saw what some fans were saying.
They were blaming me for what happened.
