Still The One

Thirty Nine

Niall’s P.O.V.

‘SAMANTHA!’

We were in the hospital. Sam had blinked a bit. Then she lost her consciousness. I let a few teardrops fall and then kissed Sam lightly.

There was a tragic fire. Luckily Liam could smell it before any further injuries occurred. The fire came from the kitchen, which architecturally was just underneath Sam’s room. Our guest room was far away from those two rooms, so even if they screamed, we couldn’t have heard it. Luckily Sam was said to be asleep the whole time. She didn’t feel most of the pain.

Hannah and Elise were injured too. Hannah had a burn in her back and her right hand. Elise’s hair was singed and her forehead had a burn too. They had to suffer as they woke up unlike Sam. But the doctor said that her leg was pretty badly injured.

I was very worried. ‘Niall, honey?’ I turned around and saw Sam’s mum. She looked as if she just came from a visit to hell. ‘Get some sleep, dear. You really need it.’ She said, patting my back. I nodded, slowly getting up. I went to our cabin. The other boys were there. Zayn and Harry were crying silently. I went and sat next to them. We hugged each other tightly. I felt like I would wake up any time. This all must be a dream. The happy, smiling face of Samantha kept flashing in my mind. I got up and laid down in the bed. I shut my eyes and instantly fell asleep.

‘Niall?’

Somebody was tapping my shoulder. I blinked. It was Louis. I suddenly remembered everything. I looked around. I was still in my bunk. I sighed. ‘Samantha is awake.’ Louis said with a faint smile. I jumped out of my bed and rubbed my eyes. After some time, I was walking my way through to Samantha’s bed.

She was there, talking and laughing with Liam. ‘SAMANTHA!’ I shouted and ran forward to her. Her leg was bandaged heavily, but her upper portion was still okay thanks to god. She saw me. We stared at each other for some time. Then I bent down and kissed her on the lips. ‘I love you.’ I mumbled into the kiss. ‘I love you too.’ She mumbled and pulled me closer.

 

‘Do you know what happened?’ I asked her after we stopped kissing due to the deliberately loud coughs of Liam and Louis next to us. She nodded. ‘Liam told me.’ She said. ‘Did the others wake up?’ I asked Louis. He shook his head. ‘Harry and Zayn are with them.’ Liam said. I sighed.

I hope they all get well.
