1D | Niall Seizure At Home (3)

Lewis's POV
"There's a letter here for you Niall. It says that it's from our energy company but I swear we changed them to... Niall?" I asked as I went into the lounge and saw him shaking on the ground. "Oh shit," I said as I realised that Niall was seizing. I dropped the letters and ran to him.

"Ok, ok, clear everything away," I told myself quickly before I moved everything that could hurt Niall away from him. I then went to turn him onto his side, but a spark made me stop. I looked more closely and saw that Niall's hand was gripping his phone charger tightly and the socket was sparking.

I ran into the kitchen, got the oven gloves and turned the plug off at the wall. Immediately, Niall's hand relaxed and I turned him onto his side. Although his seizure continued, he wasn't being exposed to live electricity any more.
"It's ok Niall. It's Lewis, I'm with you," I reassured him. I knew that Niall had had epilepsy so he knew what seizure felt like, but I had never seen him seize, so I was terrified.

Thankfully, the seizure soon stopped and I remembered that our neighbour was a doctor. I got out my phone and called his number.
"Hi Matt, it's Lewis. Are you at home at the moment? Great. I need your help. Niall's been electrocuted and he's had a seizure. I don't think that it's important enough for an ambulance and he seems ok now. He's had seizures before and I think he'll be ok, please can you just come and check him over? No, he's not awake yet. Ok, thank you," I said before I hung up.
"Lew...?" Niall whispered and I turned to him.
"Niall, hey. You're ok, you've just had a seizure."
"Hmn... hurts..."
"What hurts love?"
"Hand..."
"Ok. Let me have a look," I said before I pulled up his sleeve on his right hand. His hand was red and felt warm, but other than that, it was ok.
"It looks alright Niall. Matt's on his way over to check you over alright?"
"Matt?"
"He's our neighbour. Are you doing ok? Doing you need me to do anything?"
"Water..."
"Ok," I said as I went to the kitchen and got him a glass. I heard the door open and someone come inside.
"Lewis, it's Matt. Are you in the lounge?" He called before I came back into the lounge and saw him already kneeling beside Niall. "Hello Niall. Do you know who I am?"
"Yeah... Matt..."
"That's me," Matt said before he shone a light into his eyes. Niall recoiled a little, but he didn't have the energy to move more than a few centimetres.
"It's alright Niall, Matt's here to help," I said as I knelt beside Niall and rested my hand on his side.
"You've had seizures before haven't you Niall?"
"Yeh..."
"Ok. Does anything hurt, or feel weird?"
"My... hand."
"Which one?"
"His right one. It's red and feels warm," I told Matt before he inspected it.
"Is this the one that the electricity went through?"
"It is."
"Elec...?"
"I'll explain later babe," I told Niall before he relaxed and Matt began pressing on his hand. Niall winced from time to time in pain, but I made sure to keep him calm and relaxed.

After a few minutes of checking Niall's hand, pulse and blood pressure, Matt seemed satisfied.
"There doesn't appear to be any permanent damage, and Niall's body is recovering well from the seizure. I would recommended keeping an ice pack on his hand for the next twelve hours to stop any major swelling. The redness will fade, but keep an eye on it Lewis."
"I will."
"As for the seizure, I would say that it was a one off due to the electricity. You don't need to call for an ambulance as I'm happy, but if Niall has another seizure or loses parts of his memory I would recommend calling for an ambulance."
"I will. Thanks Matt."
"It's no problem. Will you be alright with Lewis now Niall?"
"Yeah. Think... so."
"Ok. Don't get up too fast alright. Stay lying down a for bit."
"I will."
"Good lad. Just rest and get Lewis to run round for you. He needs the exercise."
"Yeah," Niall said with a small smile.
"Oi."
"Ok, I'll leave you two to it."
"Thanks Matt."
"Your welcome," Matt said before he left.
"I've got some water for you Niall."
"Thanks," Niall said and I lifted his head up so that he could drink it. "More," He said once he'd finished.
"More?"
"Yeah..."
"Ok. Wait there," I said before I went into the kitchen and got another glass of water and a bag of frozen peas.
"Pillow... Li would... give... pillow," Niall told me as I came back.
"Oh, sorry," I said before I got a cushion and put it underneath his head. "Am I not as good as Liam was?" I asked as I got him comfortable.
"No."
"Right, you're on your own then," I joked as I stood up before I felt Niall touch my ankle with his hand.
"You. I love..."
"I know, I was joking. I love you too," I said before I kissed him. "I've just never seen you have a seizure before."
"I hope to... never have one... again," Niall said before he relaxed into the pillow.
"I hope you never have one again either," I said before I gently lifted Niall's hand up and put the frozen peas underneath it.
"Argh. Cold."
"It's cold?"
"Yeah."
"They're frozen peas, they're meant to be cold."
"Yeah..." Niall replied with a smile. "Tired."
"Go to sleep and I'll find you a blanket and a radio. It looks like we're going to have a relaxed day."
"Yeah..." Niall said and I went upstairs in search of what I needed.
