In Love With A Dark Man. (Niall Horan Fanfic, sequel to the sequel, used to be Please Change.)

Chapter 8:

Maddie's Pov:
I rushed into the hospital, Niall following me quickly.
I was out of breath, of course, so I needed a moment.
"May I help you?"
"Is.... Leah Horan.... Here?" I said between breaths.
"Lemme check." The lady says and starts typing.
"Room 713"
I nervously smiled and grabbed Nialls hand, pulling him to the room.
I stood outside of the room, holding the door knob, but not being able to open it.
I took a deep breath and turned it.
Her body was on a bed, she was laying still, her heart monitor steady, her face was pale, and it looked like she wasnt moving.
I moved closer.
This was all my fault.
I sat down next to Niall on a little chair.
I felt Niall's hand on my knee, slightly squeezing, making me relax.
I held Leah's hand.
My little girl, my little 13 year old, is in the hospital.
Nialls eyes brimmed with tears, and he looked at me.
"Remember..." He says and chuckled, " remember when she was a baby, and they brought her in here, and gave her a shot, making me angry and cry because my little girl was being hurt...?"
"I remember like it was yesterday." I say; as I stare into this mans' eyes.
"Now... I don't know my emotion." He says.
I sighed and got up, sitting on his lap.
"She'll be okay. I know she will. Shes strong, just like you." I say and wrap my arms around his neck.
"I dont want to go back..." He whispered.
I nodded and kissed his cheek; looking at our beautiful daughter.
"You dont have to.." I whisper.
"I do baby." He says.
I nodded as I watched Leah.
Her chest moving up and down, as she took breaths.
"I called Liam and Danielle and Perrie and Zayn. Theyre on their way."
I nodded. I had no words, just so many emotions.
I saw sad, mad, happy, irritated, but mostly, disappointed. In myself.
I was happy she was alive, sad at what she said, mad that I let her go, irritated that I was in a hospital room once again, and disappointed because I didnt raise her...right.
"It's not your fault..." He whispered. I nodded and kissed his soft lips.
"Mum?" I hear.
"Baby?" I ask and look at her.
She looked confused to why she was here and looked at Niall with confusion.
"Who's this... Man?" She asks.
"This is..-"
"Hello Ms. Horan. You're awake! Anywho, i'm Dr. Dallas. You sore?"
"N-no."
"Doc, a moment in the hallway?"
He followed me and Niall out and shut the door.
"My daughter, doesnt remember her father..." I say and point at Niall.
"Yes, thats where I'm getting at. Leah was hit so bad, that it made her brain kick back almost 7 years ago. Which you recall Niall left for the army..." He says as I nod.
"The only people she remembers is you, all her friends, everyone except ... Her father."
I feel tears build up and look at Niall, who is already crying.
"What do you mean?! She wont ever remember me?!" His voice raises.
"No, I cant say that.
Because she may remember you.. Give her time, dont remind her, let her figure it out. Im so sorry." He says and walks away.
I look up once again, to see Niall biting his lip with all his might, seeing blood appear.
"Ni..."
"What?" He softly says,
"I'm...so..sorry..." I whisper.
"She..., she forgot me, Maddie. Im-im a random m-man to her..." He says and looks into her room.
I pulled him in a huge hug, and whispered comforting words in his ear.
We walked in, Leah's face full of confusion.
"Whats wrong?" She asks.
"Nothing honey. You feeling okay?" I ask.
"Mhm..."
I wiped the falling tears away and hugged her.
"Everythings gonna be okay..." I whisper.
"How do you know?" She asks, and pulls away.
"Because. You have to have hope."
She looked at Niall, whom she didnt remember, and looked at me.
"I hope so..."
I nodded and sat next to Ni, holding his hand once again.
"So is he your new boyfriend?" She asks.
"Um, something like that." He says and squeezes my hand.
He was trying so hard not to cry.
She nodded once again, and her eyes slowly closed.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.
"Let's go home.." Nialls voice says, startling me.
I nod and stand up, grabbing his hand and walking out of the hospital I so desperately hate.😣

Niall's POV:

I lay my head on the pillow, thinking of Leah.
It just wasn't fair, my baby was hurt, and was in a hospital.🏥 (Emojis are so cool. Sorry 😜)
I didnt know what to think, how to think.
My heart was beating slower than usual, and to be honest, I finally knew what it's like to be heartbroken. Finally.
"Babe?"
I looked up and see Maddie.
Her eyes were red and puffy, makeup running down her face, but she still looked beautiful.
"Hm?"
"Shes...shes gonna be okay." She nods, almost having to convince herself as well.
I nodded and started singing , 'Lego House' By Ed Sheeran.
She smiled and listened to me sing.
I stopped as I had a thought run through my mind, as if on cue, Maddie saw me thinking.
"Whatcha thinking about babe?" She asks and rubs her hand on my arm.
"I have an Idea." I say and explain it to her.
She smiles and nods, agreeing to it.

*1 week later*
Leah's Pov:
Im finally out of the damn hospital, thank god.
I was tired of dealing with the white walls, the cleaners, the nasty smells..
Mum and her 'boyfriend' who I dont know brought me home,
Thank god, once again.
