I Do (One Direction Fanfiction ) #2

Ouch, What happened?

Belle P.O.V
I felt like I had been run over by a Mack truck while simultaneously being thrown out of a plane with no parachute. My eyes we refusing to open as I struggled against the heavy weight of them. After minutes of battle I gave up, content to listen to my surroundings. The beep of the monitors and the slow drip of the IV bag indicated I was in the hospital but I couldn't remember much. Just indescribable pain that radiated from my chest.

"I'm sorry Belle, just please princess, please wake up" At the sound of Niall's fammilar voice my heart did a painful flip. I tried to scream out Niall's name or anything for that matter but I couldn't. It was probably the painkillers they were pumping into me, I both loathed and loved them evn though they were keeping me sedated I knew that I was in bad shape and if they took me off them I would be in a world of pain. I started drifting back into dream land to the sound of Niall's broken sobs

Niall P.O.V
"She wouldn't want to see you like this Niall" Tash was sitting on the otherside of Belle's bed. I didn't acknowledge her but instead just kept staring blankly at Belle's face memorizing it while I still could.

"She's right mate" Liam placed a hand on my shoulder "Why don't you go and take a shower, clean up a bit"

"No"

"Niall you are no use to her like this. You need to have a shower or get some sleep"

"What if something happens? " My voice broke on the last word.

"I will be right here beside her Niall. Nothing is going to happen" Natasha assured me. Just in that moment Belle's hand twitched sending me lunging for it.

"Belle?" A strangled moan was all I got in response but it was worth it. Belle was finally waking! "Princess please" Her hand tighned around mine as I looked at her face willing her eyes to open. I needed to see that beautiful hazel colour again to know she was truly alive.

" Can you open your eyes love?" Liam was on the other side of her bed clutching her other hand. Another groan answered Liam and we all held our breath. It took about ten minutes but I cried in relief when Belle's eyes opened. She squinted then looked around in panic.

"I'm here Belle, oh princess I'm here" I came around the bed to stand by her head so she could see me. She looked at me with such love and relief that a lone tear rolled down my cheek. As I started crying Belle started crying. I gathered her up in my arms, as much as I could with all the wires and comforted her. It felt so good to hold her in my arms again. To feel her soft breath and heartbeat.

"I love you" Her voice was raspy and weak but I hear her clearly. My heart jumped in my chest and I let out a small chuckle.

"I love you too Belle so so much" I lay her back down on the bed remembering that she was still sore. The doctor's instructions had been clear, plenty of bedrest and no strenuous activity which I took as too me no activity. I wouldn't risk losing Belle again because I was lax about her wellbeing.

"Water, please" She croaked and Natsha came over bearing a white plastic cup. I took it with a nod of thanks then turned all my attention back to Belle. She was still so so weak; he hands shook and it was a great effort for her just to lift the cup to her mouth.

" Do you want me to help?" I almost laughed when Belle glared at me and her mouth set into that determinded line. She was back, probably not fully but she was alive and herself.

"At least she's still the same old Belle, as independent as hell" Natasha and Liam laughed

"I heard that" She whispered sending me a small smile.Her eyes showed a different story she was in pain and didn't want anyone to know. She wanted to keep her pride.

"Hey guys? We really appreciate you being here and everything you have done but I think we need a moment alone" Tash and Liam walked over each squeezing Belle's hand and in Tash's case kissing her goodbye on the forehead. With a final wave they exited the room closing the door behind them. As soon as they were gone the mask fell from Belle's face revealing how much pain both emotional and physical she was in.

"I'm sorry" Her lip trembled as if she was struggling not to cry "I put you through hell"

"Shhh babe, don't stress yourself" I soothed her hair back as pain tore across her face

"The worst thing is..I don't remember what happened and I have this terrible pain" She indicated her chest "I can't-I can't breathe" She started hyperventilating; without a second of hesitation I threw open the door calling for a nurse. Instantly a team of hospital staff flooded the room as Belle continued to have a panic attack. I stood out of the way watching until Belle reached for my hand. "Nnniall" She stuttered,painc was written all over her face. I squeezed her hand offering comfort as Belle finally calmed down. A breathing mask covered her face and she was shaking severely.

"We will be monitoring her progress Mr Horan, just call if anything happens"

"Will do Moria"

"Niall, I just need answers" Her words were punchered by a heavy breath from the oxygen mask

"You have had surgery"

"Surgery? " Belle's breathing became shallow and quick. She had started to panic again.

"Belle, Belle princess calm down. You really need to calm down"

"Sugery? " She echoed still panicking

"Belle!" Natasha rushed into the room followed by Liam and...Duncan!

"Get him out of here" I hissed to Liam "He doesn't need to see his mother like this?"

"Duncan?" Belle inquired and reached for him. "Duncan baby?" Tash set him in Belle's arms oblivious to the glares and hostile signals I was sending her.

"He has been missing his mummy" Liam said. Belle was cuddling Duncan and whispering things about how much she missed him in between bouts of sorry.

"Mummy" Duncan cooed earning a smile from everyone in the room. I watched as Belle's breathing slowly went back to normal with each minute she held Duncan. Her heart monitor slowed to a normal regular beat.

"See, you should have trusted me" Tash said smiling

"That's debatable" And for the first time in ages I cracked a small smile. Everything felt like it was going to be okay
