Change My Mind | A Sequel to Back For You | A Harry Styles Fan Fiction

Flawless

     "What?" I ask before my voice cracks. "Is he okay?" 

     "I don't know, Liam just called me. They're at the hospital now. I haven't been dowm there. I just came to be with you and see if you're okay." I follow him into the living room. 

    "Should I go down there?" I grab a Kleenex from the coffee table and wipe my face. 

    "I guess you could, but I don't know what kind of condition he's in." He sits and Darcy crawls up on his lap. 

    "Where's Leo?" She asks and readjusts herself. 

    "At home with Aunt Eleanor." He half smiles. 

    "I'm going down to see Niall." I start gathering all of my thing. "Do you know if he's alright yet?" I look over at Louis as I zip my purse. 

    "Well, Liam just texted me. He's still in his little coma but they think he'll be fine." He slips his phone back into his pocket and sets Darcy on the floor. "Are you sure you want to see him now?"

    "Yes, I have to..."I grab my keys.

    "Yeah, I can't watch Darcy. I'm sorry...but thanks for asking." He says and stands up. 

    "Oh, I'm sorry. I just didn't think. C'mon Darc." I put my hand out and she runs up and takes it. 

    "Where we going?" She asks wide eyed.

    "Mommy is going to go see Niall." I buckle her in and kiss her forehead.  

    "But why, he lives with us." I get in the front seat and shake my head. 

    "You'll see later babe." I back out of the driveway and race down the road. Nothing can happen to Niall, he has to be okay. Niall has been there from day one. He can't just leave. A few tears fall from my face. Dammit stop crying. He'll be fine. Louis even said so.  I tighten my grip on the steering wheel as I suddenly see the crowd in front of the hospital. There is already security holding back fans and the press back. A man leads me to a spot and helps me out of my car. 

     "Are you aware of Mr. Horans condition?" Another man yells and pushes a tape recorder in my face. I pick Darcy up and set her on my hip and slide my sunglasses down my face. 

     "Why are they yelling at us?" She asks and plays with my pony tail. 

    "I'll tell you in a minute Darc." 

    "Will Mr Horan be okay?" I push another mic away. 

    "I'm not answering any questions until I get to see him." I respond without looking up. I pass a group of crying teenage girls and give them a wave. I make my way to a finally empty hospital lobby where I'm met by Zayn and Perrie. "Is he alright?" 

    "We've waited till you got here to go in." Perrie looks down at Darcy and back up to meet my eyes as she talks. 

     We get to the floor Niall's on and find the door with his name written on it. "You go in first." I motion to Zayn. I needed to see Zayn's reaction to judge if I should look or not. 

    "I can hold Darcy out here." Perrie says and sits on the bench outside. 

    "Thank you." I say just as Zayn turns around and gives me the thumbs up. I slowly peel around the corner. When I finally see him, he's laying silently in his bed. He looks flawless, just a few cuts and bruises around his face and arms. 

     "The injuries are internal." Liam says. He's sitting right next to him just staring at him. Out of all the boys. Liam and Niall have grown the closest in the last year. I look up and across the room. Harry sat in the far corner and never said a word to me. This is the first time out of the office I've seen him. I don't know why we don't talk, we just don't. I bite my lip and sit in the chair next to Niall. 

    "He's so quiet." I whisper and stroke his arm. 

    "The doctor said he might be like this for a couple of days. The car did rip his knee up a little." Liam speaks softly again, still never leaving his glare off Niall. 

    The monitor beeped softly and Niall's chest gently rose and fell. Everything seemed fine. He wasn't on an exessive amounts of tubes. Just pain medicine and stuff to keep him asleep. 

"I really wanna talk to him again..." I say and swallow the lump in my throat. 

    "He'll be fine." Zayn said, leaning against the wall. "No one will leave him...ever. We'll be here when you're not Mads." I feel the tears in my eyes and stand up to leave the room. I walk out quickly down the hall and around the corner. I breakdown in the hall and lean against the wall. I hear Perrie's voice telling Zayn the direction I went. "Madi, c'mon. I know it hurts." I looked up at him as tears rushed down my face. "You can talk to me." He said as he slid down the wall to be next to me. 

    "No, Zayn I'm scared."
