Meeting One Direction

Chapter 23

Previously:

"No I'm fine" I whisper as another wave of pain comes over me. I lean against her and I throw up. "Your fine right? Lets go," she carries me to the ambulance and sets me up. The last thing I remember is a sharp sting in my arm.

Indieana:

"Mommy lets go to the park!" my 5 year old self said.

"Go ask your daddy; I have work to do. He should be in his work office." Mommy seems like she doesn't want to spend time with me anymore.

"Daaaaaaaady...Can we go to the park? I wanna swing with Ed because he said he was gonna be there."

"Come here pumpkin, I haven't seen my Indie 500 in awhile." he grins, giving me kisses all over my face.

"Daddy stop it!" I giggle, trying to be serious. "And I'm not Indie 500!"

"Of course you are! You wanna go to the park eh? Do you wanna have a race there?"

"Yeah! And if I win you have to get me ice cream too," I add. When we get ice cream it's always the best.

He stands up and stretches, scratching his chin. "I don't know...what if I win?"

"Then you can have two scoops with sprinkles. If I win, I get three scoops with that brown syrup on top ok daddy?"

"That's called caramel sweetie. Lets race!"

I wake up to a bright light, instantly blinding me. I feel a huge headache coming on. I sit up, covering my eyes. I make to get up but something is holding me back. I look around me and see that I'm in a hospital. My heart rate accelerates, causing a nurse to come in.

"Your awake! Finally, you've been out for a couple days now." She talks loudly with a accent. New York? Pretty sure it's New York.

"Why am I here?" I ask. My voice croaks like a frog which causes the nurse to laugh. She walks to the bathroom and fills up a cup of water. I frown, this isn't funny. I'm in a hospital and I don't know why. She returns with the water and hands it to me. I chug it and feel much better.

"...I'll call Dr. Connie in and he can explain. Also, you must be a popular girl because you've had quite a few visitors." With that being said, she hums quietly to herself and walks out the door. Why am I here? I can't remember anything.

"Honey you're awake!"

"Mom?" my head swivels from side to side, looking for her. She emerges from the closing door carrying a plate of food. "Mom!" She puts the plate down and runs to me, tears in her eyes.

"Baby, you're ok. I was so worried when I got a call from Harry..." she sobs into me.

"Harry? Where are the boys at?" I get out of her hug and look for them. "They're in the cafeteria. Niall is in his room." she seems to be holding something back from. She keeps looking behind my shoulder but not my eyes. "What's going on? Why am in here? Is Niall okay?" I ask, confused. Why is Niall in a room?

"Do you remember what happened a two days ago?" she asks, carefully wording what she says. "I remember being in the shower and I asked Niall to get me a towel..." I can't recall anything else.

"Is Indie awake? Wakey Wakey looooove." Louis yells as he struts in. "Louis!" I am so glad to see his face.

"Indie! You're awake!" He jumps on the bed, causing me to wince. I look down and notice that my leg is covered with different colored bruises, creating a canvas of blues and purples. He pulls me into a long hug after he makes sure I'm okay. Harry walks in and I suck in a breath. He's wearing black skintight jeans. He's got a burgundy beanie on and a dark green v-neck. My heart speeds up, making my monitor go
beepbeepbeepbeepbeep.

He smirks and plops in a chair next to me. He grabs onto one of my hands and leans forward, kissing me on the cheek.
"Hello Indie. How are you?" he asks, concern so evident in his green eyes.

"I-I'm okay," I answer quickly. The boys exchange looks and seem to talk without saying anything. Harry nods slightly and looks back at me. "Indieana," he starts. He's never said my full name before, it's startling.

"Yes?"

"Do you know what happened to you?" He begins to get angry, his hand staring to crush mine until I release a small "ow". He lets go and gets up. He starts pacing and glances at the boys again. He sighs and is about to say something when Niall walks in.

( hmmm...)
