Be Careful [Niall Horan]

3.

I closed the front door behind me and started jogging. I just came home from uni and decided to jog around the park since the weather was very nice. It was 2pm now and I didn't have a lot to do today. I love sporting at the park, especially when the weather is nice.

I'm so lucky I live near a park, it's almost a huge front yard for me since it's a 5 minute walk.

I looked around me when I was running down the path. I saw someone playing the guitar a few minutes ago and he was very talented. I kept thinking about his talent until something brought me back to reality.

My shoe hit something and I fell down on the ground.

'Ow' I said loud.

Some blonde boy on a bike drove past me and immediately stopped when he saw me on the ground. He ran over to me and kneeled beside me.

'Are you okay?' He said worried.

'My ankle.' I felt pain tickle in my ankle and immediately reached out to my ankle.

'Come here.' He reached out for me and helped me to sit properly on the ground. 'Iris?'

I faced him and recognized the familiar face 'Niall?'

'Are you okay?' He asked me again.

'My ankle hurts so much.'

'May I?' He asked and put his hands on my ankle. The touch of his warm and soft hands on my skin made me tingle. I nodded as a reply. He rolled my legging up a little and carefully put off my shoe.

I bit on my teeth. 'Ow'

My ankle was already swollen and it didn't look very well.

'It's already swollen.' He carefully stroked my ankle with his thumb. 'We are going to a doctor now.'

'No, no, it's okay. It will fade within a few days. I can take care of myself.'

'No, Iris we are going to a doctor.'

'Okay, okay.' I gave up.

'Can you walk?'

'Don't think so.' He reached out for my hand. I grabbed his and tried to stand on my feet, but immediately sat down again.

'Plan B.' Niall said. Before I could say anything he carried me bridal style and held me in his arms. He walked to his mountainbike and placed me on the saddle.

'You have a car right?' He said while we walked out of the park.

'Yes'

'It's a bit far to walk to the hospital with a bike so I think it's handier if I drive us to the hospital.'

'I agree. I live near the park, so we're almost there.'

'But what exactly happened?'

'I was being distracted by a guitarist and I wanted to jump over a stump but my foot got stuck and I fell on the ground.'

'Ah that's sounds painful.'

'It is'

'Do you want a kiss on it?' He joked.

'Oh yes please that would decrease the pain!' I joked back.

After two more minutes of walking we arrived home. He unlocked the door for me while I leaned against the wall on his bike. He walked over to me and carefully put me down on the ground. I hopped inside and sat down on a chair.

'Do you want to grab my grey sweatpants and black vest from upstairs?' I asked him.

'Here' He came back after two minutes and handed me my clothes. 'I'll wait in the hallway so you can change.' He smiled.

'Thanks.' I smiled back.

I quickly changed into my comfy clothes before I got up and hopped to Niall.

He drove his bike inside my house and locked the front door while I hopped to the car. He unlocked it while walking to the car. I opened the door and sat down on the passengers seat.

'Hi, we don't have an appointment but my friend's right foot got stuck behind a stump and her ankle got sprained and  it's swollen and she can't walk on it.' Niall explained. Did he just call me a friend?

The receptionist asked me some questions and typed it on the computer. 'Take a seat in the waiting room, the doctor will come within a few minutes.'

We thanked her and we walked to the waiting room. Well, Niall walked, I hopped.

'Iris' A man walked over to us. We stood up from our chairs and shook hands. 'Hello' We both said politely.

'Follow me.'

'Are you okay?' Niall said worried as we walked out of the hospital.

'It hurts, but I'm fine.' I gave him a fake smile.

Apparently my ankle is badly bruised and I'm walking on crutches now. My ankle is wrapped around in bandage and I need to come back in two weeks and then we will see what happens.

Niall offered to take care of me when the doctor asked me if there was someone who could take care of me since I need to rest and I couldn't even protest.

'What are you thinking of?' Niall asked me as we drove to my house.

'Sorry what did you say?' He brought me back to reality.

'What are you thinking of?' He laughed.

'What I'm going to do with uni next week.' It was very obvious I didn't plan on going to uni for a few days.

'I'll take you there.'

'But you have work and I can go with my friend Fay or the bus.'

'No, I'll take you there since I'm on a little break.'

'Bu-' I couldn't even finish my sentence because Niall cut me off by asking me some questions.
