One Direction Stories #Wattys2017

"Niall, are you okay?" (Luke from 5SOS; Niall Centric; Part 1)

For the sake of the story I made it so Luke wasn't apart of 5SOS, and he's Nial brother.

BTW! The song is the media section, I love this song so much! It's Fight Song by Rachel Platten, and the lyrics are just so meaning!

Hope you enjoy!

(Luke's POV)

I was watching One Direction's soundcheck/rehearsal for their show tonight. I saw Niall look at me making sure I was alright. I nodded back to him and he ran down the catwalk.

You see I'm Niall's brother. I was on tour with him and the boys of One Direction, for one reason. I had a tragic accident about 2 weeks into the X-Factor tour. I was walking home from school with my friend Michael and Calum, when the driver fell asleep at the wheel, and crashed right into us. Michael and Calum, fortunately, were hurt badly. Calum call 911, while Michale called my parent.

At the hospital the doctor told me that I had been paralyzed from the waist down. I pretty much needed help with everything. While I was in the hospital, Niall called and asked how everyone was. Once he heard about me, he instantly took a break from the X-Factor tour to come see me. I was in the hospital for about two weeks before Niall showed up, and I was able to go home.

It was the car ride home from the hospital when Niall asked me.

(FLASHBACK; Niall's POV)

I had been visiting Luke for a week, and my mum and I were talking. I told her I would love it if Luke could come on tour with us. She was a little hesitant at first, but then agreed.

I decided that I would ask him on the car ride home. After Luke was discharged I carried him to the car, and place him in the backseat right next to me.

It was silent for a few minutes until mum spoke up.

"Luke, honey, Niall has something to ask you." Luke looked at me with a confused face.

"Luke, I thought long and hard about it. Mum agreed with me. Luke would like to come with me on the rest of the X-Factor Tour?" He looked shocked at me, but instantly agreed. We all talked about the details, how we would call home a few times a week. The rest of the boy and I agreed to help take care of Luke.

(End of Flashback)

That's how I got here. After the X-Factor tour I had been on every tour with Niall. I went everywhere with him. I sat backstage at the interview, photoshoots, and everything in between.

I still needed a little help with things here and there, but as the time past I slowly became more and more independent.

(Niall's POV)

Luke and I were having a brother-to-brother moment. I was pushing Luke around outside in his wheelchair, while he told me funny stories that made absolutely so sense at all.

I heard footsteps from behind us, but I just kept walking.
*

That's all I remember from that day. I let everyone down. I told them that I would protect Luke with my life, but I failed at protecting him and myself.

This man, Jimmy, had kidnapped us.

He beat me till I looked like I had through Hell and back. He beat me everyday, for hours. The worst part was he made Luke watch, yet he never cried.

I would beg him to stop. If I begged he would make the beating longer, and longer. I never spoke a word after that.

(Luke's POV)

I was scared for my life, and Niall's life. I was scared that Niall wouldn't make it out alive. His face was all bruised and swollen. He had cuts, scratches, and bruises all over his body. I'm pretty sure that he has a few broken bones, but I couldn't be sure.

I has been forced to watch beat my brother to death everyday. He said if I didn't watch he would kill Niall. I didn't want that to happen. I didn't want my older brother, my inspiration, my mentor, my rock to die. I would be able to live with myself. So I watch.

That's what I'm watching him do right now. This has to be the worst beating Niall ever recieved. I was distracted from watching as I heard cars pull in. Sirens. The cars had sirens.

Suddenly police officers burst through the door. The man wouldn't stop beating on Niall. The officers had to shoot him just to get him to stop.

Once Jimmy was brought out of the building paramedics rushed over to Niall and I.

Louis and Liam ran over to were Niall was being swarmed with people.

Harry and Zayn came over to me. I told that paramedics that I was fine he didn't even lay a hand on ms, and that they should be more worried about Niall.

Zayn and Harry pulled me in for a hug. I started to sob uncontrollably.

I latched on to Zayn shirt and wouldn't let go. He has to carry me out to the ambulance.

"Are you okay alone in the ride to the hospital, or do you want one of us to come with you?"

I cuddled closer to Zayn, still to scared to say anything. 

"Sir, could you lay him on the stretcher, please?" 

"Luke, I need to put you down now. Alright?" I grabbed onto shirt with all of my strength. I didn't want to let go. "Luke, you need to let go." I shook my head. I placed my head in the crook of neck. I cried. I was scared. I wanted to be held, and cuddled. "I'm sorry. I can't get him to let go."

"It's alright I understand. If you could lay on the bed with him. I could check him over the best I can." 

Zayn laid on the bed, Luke still in his arms. The paramedic asked Luke a few questions. 

"Luke, did he touch you at all?" 

"No. He left me sitting up against the wall to watch what he was doing."

"Did he feed you?" 

"He fed me, and gave me water, but not a lot." 

"Alright." 

(Liam's POV)

I was watching the paramedic look over Niall. I was scared that there would be permanent damage not on physically, but emotionally. 

"How is he?" I dared myself to ask not wanting to know what Niall had been through.

"I can't the full extent of his injuries. But, I can tell there's a lot of bruising, cuts, scratches."

(At the Hospital; NO POV) 

The boys were waiting in the waiting room for any word on Luke and Niall. I was brought from my thoughts when a doctor came out.

"Luke Hemmings?" They all stood, and walked over. Once we all shook the doctor's hand he told us what was wrong with Luke.

"Mr.Hemming's, was very lucky. There's no since of him even being touched by the man. Only signs of dehydration, and little malnourishment. But, other than that he's fine. We have him on fluids. I wouldn't give him solid food just yet, maybe wait a few day or so."

"Can we see him?" Zayn asked. 

"Yes. Right this way."

They got to Luke's room and were shocked at what they saw.
