My Saviour

Chapter 18: Niall

I wake up and the first thing I hear is that annoying beeping sound. What the fuck is that?

The second thing I hear are people's voices. And none of them sounds like Greg's. But when I listen carefully, I think I can recognise a few voices, but I could be mistaken. So I just lay here and listen to what they are saying.

"I really think it's a good idea that we're doing this. It'll be good for people out there in the same situation and can maybe help some." A voice said.

"Yes, but I still think Liam has a lot of ass kissing to do." Wait,  Liam?

I snapped my eyes open and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I knew I was in hospital but what the fuck are Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Ed Sheeran and the crew of Catfish are doing here?

I turned my head and saw there was a camera focusing on me. What?

"What's going on." I cringed at the sound of my voice. How long was I out? "Can I have water?" And before I finished the sentence, there was a straw in front of my lips. I drank a little to moisten my throat.

"Thank you." I said with a nod to Liam. I know I appear as if I'm keeping my cool here, but I'm honestly freaking out on the inside. There are famous people in my hospital room.

"Hey, I'm Nev." He pointed to himself. "This is Max, that's Liam, Ed, Zayn and our crew." He then continued to point at people in the room.

"I know who you are." I blurted out before my brain could even comprehend what I was saying, causing my face to heat up. You wanna know what they did? They laughed.

"We figured you'd know." Max said. And I think my face could put a tomato to shame.

"But on to serious news, we know you want to know what's going on," he paused for a second and looked around. "And to amuse ourselves and watch him squirm,  we're gonna let Liam tell the story."

"Hey! Isn't this your job?". Okay I take back what I said, Liam's face could put a tomato to shame.

And just when Liam was about to speak, the door flew open, revealing 5 guys.  "Did I miss it?" A guy about my height with blue eyes and brown hair asked. Miss what?

"No, it's about to start. You guys are right in time." One of the crew guys said at the same time I asked: "Miss what?"

"Awww he's so cute." He said as he came closer to me. "Does anything hurt?" I just shook my head and he jumped into my bed and curled up by my side. "Good, 'cause I need a cuddle from my future brother in law."

"LOUIS!" Everyone shouted at the same time.

"What's your name?" And at the same time, I have decided if I'm going to marry his brother, I might as well get to know him. "I like your name, Louis. Can I call you Lou?" I asked

"Yeah, most of my friends call me that anyway. I like your name too, Niall." He looked thoughtful for a second. "Yes, I've never met a Niall before." He said.

"Really?" I asked happily.

"Yes. I've ne-" "Guys!  Focus!" Liam cut Lou off and we both looked at him.

"I don't know Liam, they seem to be getting along great. If I were you, I'd take this moment to calm my nerves." One of the four guys said but whispered the last part.

"Wait! Who am I getting married to again?" I decided to ask since I just realised I don't know who my future husband is.

"Liam of cause." I froze while he smilled a thousand Watt smile.

"No! No. Absolutely not." I basically yelled out. "I'm sorry Liam, I love you,  I really do but I-" I froze after I realised what I just said. I didn't realise what I was saying until I said it.

I looked at Liam and saw so many emotions in his eyes, love, admiration, you name them, but there was one that stood out the most: Hope.

"You love me?" He asked barely above a whisper. He walked closer to my bed and sat on the chair next to it. He took my hand and kissed my knuckles.

"I'm so sorry. I get what I did hurt you a lot, and there's nothing in this world I regret more than that. I really wanted, no craved to have normal live, so I decided to make that account and I happened to find you."

Liam looked me in the eyes and took a deep breath before continuing.

"A few days before my wedding to Sophia, I realised I was in love with you and I was so scared, until I talked to Andy.

"I found out she was cheating and I was so relieved because I knew I didn't have to marry her. And then the fans found out about that account and I figured you knew, so I kept calling and sending messages.

I asked Max and Nev here to help me look for you and we found so many things that made me want to kill myself and I just wanted to find you and get you out of here to somewhere safe.

"I am really, really sorry and I hope you can forgive me. And if you allow me, I could take you with me and hire a tutor for you if you want. I really can't leave you behind."

I wiped my tears and sniffed. Something is wrong. I looked at Lou and saw him wiping his tears away, with my clothes. So that explains the second sniffle.

"That is so sweet." Lou whispered.

"Love, do you need a tissue?" The guy with long hair said. I really need to learn those 4 names.

"No, I'm alright. I don't think Niall minds." He said and then laid his head on my shoulder. Isn't there supposed to be a 'right Niall?' after that sentence?

"We know that's a lot to take in, so while you think about Liam's proposal, we should fill you in." Nev started. "We have decided to turn this into an anti bullying episode and we were thinking that you should tell your story to our viewers. Maybe it will help some of them. Any questions."

I thought about what Nev just said for a second. "Yes I have a question." I said urgently.

"What is it." Nev asked.

"What are your names." I looked at the four guys. "You really don't want to know the names I gave you guys." I finished off with a giggle.

"Oh yeah, we forgot about them." That earned a few 'Hey!'s and chuckles, but Lou continued anyway. "The handsome one is my boyfriend, Harry, and then you have Andrew, Andy, and Liam's lawyer, Michael."

I just nodded and looked at Andy, then at Harry, and back to Andy. "I don't get it." I said after a while. That received confused looks around the room.

"You said the handsome one is your boyfriend and then you pointed Harry instead of Andy." I explained. They all looked at me for a few seconds before everyone, but Lou and Harry, laughed.

"I kid, I kid." I said when Lou started pouting. "How about I say that again. You know what this means? We could have a double wedding, get pregnant at the same time and die at the same time." I said with enthusiasm.

"I mean, I am going to be married to your brother,  we might as well start to bond immediately." That got a cheer from Lou. I hope Liam gets the hint that I'm willing to give him a second chance.

I looked up at Liam and see him already looking at me. "Thank you." Is all he says. And it's all the confirmation I need that he understands.

@kadiebmore I really hope you feel better soon.

I started a new book called Our Favourite Secret, which is likely to change once I think of a better name. Suggestions are welcome.
