Carter's POV*

"Boyfriend? Really?" I said in shock over what had just went down. Niall just smirked in response and looked at me with adoring eyes.

"What? Is there something wrong with me calling myself your boyfriend?" Niall asked with a sparkle in his eye. It seemed like a game to him.

"Well, no but I, um, you-"

"Should have ran it past you first? Should have asked you first? Yeah I guess I should have. But I guess we can go and do it this way instead. Carter will you do me the honor of allowing me to call you my girlfriend?" Niall clasped my hand in his and revealed his crooked toothed smile as he asked the question.

What did I feel when I thought of Niall? I thought of flowers, fields of flowers and puppies. I felt of pure happiness when I thought of him. I genuinely liked Niall. I wanted there to be an us.

"Y-yes." I stuttered, my cheeks burning up. Niall just smiled and leaned over, caressing my cheek in his hand and connected his lips with mine. His kiss was sweet and deep, meaningful to me. We pulled away simultaneously and smiled at each other.

"Thank god you said yes. It would have been very awkward if you didn't." Niall said causing me to giggle.

Gabbie knocked on the door and popped her head in.

"Hey sorry for interrupting." She whispered.

"You're fine. What's up?" I asked with a soft smile.

"We bought a pair of sweatpants from the gift shop upstairs so you don't have to walk out in your bathing suit." Gabbie said passing Niall a bag with tissue paper sticking out of the top.

"Thank you." I said. Gabbie nodded and then left the room as quick as she came.

Niall gave me the bag and I pulled the sweatpants out of it. They were black with the white hospital logo on the left leg. They seemed extremely baggy compared to my small legs but they would have to do. I slid the sweatpants on underneath my hospital gown.

"Can you untie the gown?" I asked Niall. He helped me to my feet, being careful to mind my stitches on the arch of my foot.

He slowly untied each knot in the gown, tracing his finger tips on the back of my neck. I fluttered my eyes shut in peace at the feeling of his soft touch. The peace soon escaped me once  his fingers left my kneel and he sunk back down in his chair.

I slipped the gown off and adjusted Niall's sweatshirt I had on. Then I redid the messy bun in my hair and slid on my flip flops.

"You ready?" Niall asked me. I nodded and slid my phone and headphones into the pocket of my sweatpants.

"Thank you for coming and bringing my stuff. It was very sweet of you." I whispered, grabbing onto his arm and standing on my toes to kiss his cheek. He blushed under my kiss and smiled down at me.

We made our way to the clerks desk and I checked myself out.

"We have to leave through the back. We have a car waiting out there just so the paps don't see us." Niall explained. I nodded in understanding and followed him towards the back exit. We met up with Zayn and Gabbie back there then exited the hospital and entered the black SUV.

"So are you alright now? No amputation? All ten digits?" Zayn jokingly asked. I giggled and nodded my head, wiggling my toes at him.

Niall kept an arm secured around my waist and I rested my head on his chest. I'm glad we are together. He's an amazing guy. He gets me. He's my summer love.

Niall's POV*

I finally gained the courage to ask Carter out. I mean I think I really realized how much I care about her when she was in the hospital and I was still in the cabin. It was like a piece of me was missing and I had to be at the hospital with her. That's when I knew she had to be mine.

So there we sat, her head in my chest. I immediately knew she felt the same way about me. We were meant for each other.

The car pulled up to the campsite and we all hopped out going our separate ways. Gabbie and Zayn when back to our cabin while Carter and I went inside her cabin to put her stuff away. When she put her things away we walked hand in hand to the bonfire and sat next to each other on the log.

"I was afraid to ask you out you know." I softly spoke, running my thumb over the back of her hand.

"All guys get like that. It's normal don't worry." She replied with a soft smile that could melt my heart easily.

"No, I wasn't nervous. I was terrified. I feared the rejection. Ever since Cassidy, I didn't think I deserved to be with someone again. I am terrified of you leaving me Carter." I confessed to her, my voice shaking with each word.

She brought her hand up to my head and gently brushed my hair back with her fingers.  Her hand rested on the side of my face, thumb smoothing over my cheek.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to stay, I promise." She smiled at me, making me do the same.

And I believed her. I truly believe she won't do anything to hurt me. I am happy and I want it to stay this way forever. She makes me happy.

Well there you guys go.
