Summer Love

Chapter 14

July 2011

Niall's POV*

I stood on the porch and watched the ambulance drive down the road, leaving me in a trail of dust.

"Well come on, let's go." I said to Zayn who was standing next to me.

"Calm yourself, Simon said to wait at least ten minutes. He sent a car over already and we will enter through the back of the hospital." Zayn said while sliding his cell phone into his pocket.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I needed to relax a moment and breathe. Once I cleared my head, I walked inside of Carters cabin and grabbed her phone and a pair of headphones from her nightstand then put them in my pocket. Next I jogged over to my cabin and grabbed my purple jumper then made my way back over to Zayn where a black SUV was waiting.

"Come on let's go." Zayn quietly said before disappearing into the car. I followed him and took a seat in the back then prepared for the short trip to the hospital.

Carter's POV*

Once the ambulance had pulled up to the emergency room entrance, it was a lot of quick movements. Steve rolled me out of the vehicle and I was soon taken over by a team of doctors and nurses. I was admitted to the hospital and put into an examination room, waiting for the doctor to return with the supplies to stitch me up.

"You know I'm going to have to leave when he comes back." Gabbie reminded me but I already knew I would be alone for this part. Gabbie was never good with blood. I just hope Niall shows up soon.

"I know. Don't worry I'll be fine." I flashed Gabbie a small smile to prove my statement.

"Can you call my mom?" I asked her.

"Yeah sure."

"I left my phone in the cabin. Do you still have her number?" Gabbie scrolled through her contact list, then nodded her head yes.

"If I'm not back, then the doctor is on his way in." Gabbie said while dialing my mother's number. I nodded as Gabbie left me all alone in my room.

I was forced into a light blue hospital gown upon my arrival and it was much more revealing in the behind area then I anticipated. A knock sounded at the door causing me to cringe because I knew that it was time for the stitches.

"Come in." I shouted towards the door that hid my doctor. Instead of my doctor, Niall came inside my room with a handful of items.

"Niall! You made it thank god." I said relieved that I didn't have to do this alone. He smiled and took a seat next to the examination table I was on.

"Told you I'd be there every step of the way. Well except the ride here. I mean it's just a car ride, nothing special." He winked at me causing me to giggle.

"I brought you some things I thought you might need." Niall said, placing the items down next to me. He brought my phone, some headphones and his purple sweatshirt.

"Thank you so much. But why the sweatshirt?" I asked him, confused as to why an item that belonged to him entered the mix.

"Well for one it smells like me so you don't have to latch onto me to feel safe every second of this. And two I figured the gown would be a bit um revealing." Niall grinned at the exposure of my behind. I slapped him on the arm and quickly threw on the large sweatshirt, settling in its warmth.

"So how are you? Pain wise." Niall asked me.

"I'm good. They numbed me before Gabbie left with quite a large needle. The IV is for fluids and some kind of antibiotic in case of infection from the bottle." I replied, rolling up the sweatshirt sleeve to reveal the needles in my arm. The IV didn't hurt as much as I anticipated. I'm just nervous about the stitches. Another knock came at the door and before I could answer, the doctor came in with a tray of materials on it.

"Okay Carter. We are going to get started. Hi I'm Doctor Nelson, you are?" My doctor said when he noticed Niall sitting next to me.

"He's-"

"Niall. Hi, I'm Carter's boyfriend."

My heart stopped.

Boyfriend.

He just said he's my boyfriend.

He used the label.

Does this mean we are exclusive?

What are we?

Are we a thing?

I guess this means we are a couple.

My head was swimming with so many questions that I didn't even realize Doctor Nelson had begun stitching my foot until he was done.

"Okay Carter. That wasn't so bad now was it?" Doctor Nelson said while he wiped off the excess blood on the bottom of my foot. I nodded my head in response, still frozen over the fact that Niall just called himself my boyfriend.

"Okay well since the cut was on the inside arch of your foot, you won't need crutches. That part of the foot doesn't touch the ground so you should be okay to walk. Some bruising is normal. Make sure you clean it everyday with this and if you have any signs of infection, come back in right away. Have a nice day." Doctor Nelson said, then he exited the room leaving me and Niall in an awkward silence.

"What's wrong?" Niall asked me as if he didn't already know.

"Boyfriend? Really?"
