An Angel Named Niall

Chapter 29

I stood by the heart monitor and watched as the nurses and the doctor checked my grandma one last time. My hands were shaking and my lips mumbled. My whole body trembled as I watched them pull the sheet over her. 

Tears made their way out but not a single sob was heard. The motion of everyone in the room was slow. My heart beat was slow. 

"Juliet, I'm sorry for your loss."

The doctor put his hand on my shoulder and left. All te nurses left the room, each giving me a sympathetic smile. I was left in the room with the corpse of my grandma. 

My phone began vibrating. I took it out of my pocket and saw it was Niall calling me. I ended it and put the phone aside. 

One of the nurses came into the room and gave me some paperwork and her clothing. 

I left right after, leaving my grandma. I felt as if everyone was watching me and everyone knew what had happened. 

I began walking out of the hospital area and it was gloomy. The wind was cold and the only thing I used as warmth was my grandmas clothes. 

Twenty five minutes and I arrived at the front of my grandmas house. I stood in front of it and looked at every inch of the house. 

I was sobbing in the front of my house. I was all alone now. I went on my knees and kept my body down. 

I felt someone's arms go around me and I flung at them. Only to realize it was Niall, who was on his knees, in front of me. 

He looked at me straight in his eyes and I jumped into his arms. I let it all out and cried. He rubbed my back as we both stayed on the same spot. 

I don't remember how long we stayed there but it felt like eternity. I wanted to stay there once and for all. 

I let go and he held my face with his hands. He removed the hair in my face. I couldn't look him in the eyes. 

"Come on, let's go inside." He got up and grabbed my hands. 

We walked inside and I couldn't bare it. The absence of not having my grandma to treat Niall with a smile or cookies brought more tears. 

Niall and I walked to the couch and he sat me down. He went to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water. 

He offered it to me but I rejected it. I put my hands over my face and continued sobbing. 

NIALLS POV

My heart broke little by little as I saw Juliet so fragile. I wish there was just something I could've done. Her pain was transmitting onto me. 

I didn't want to tell her anything yet. I wanted her to cry it all out because that's what she needed. 

"What are you doing here Niall?" she said with her hands over her face. 

"I needed to be here."

"Don't you have somewhere else to be?"

Something told me I needed to be Juliet right now. I couldn't wait to arrive any longer. Everything I had planned got cancelled and I got lucky enough to catch a flight. 

"Juliet," I grabbed her hands and removed them. She slowly lifted her face and looked at me. I scanned her face for a second and I went straight into a hug. 

I felt her body relax. 

"Don't see me like this, Niall." She let go and moved away from me. I moved in closer and grabbed her hands. They were ice cold.
