Niall's Pov:

I said nothing, I did nothing, I walked away without saying a word to him. Zayn poured his heart out to me and I did nothing but stand there. Since the beginning I've been fighting my own personal battle, I've been fighting my head and my heart. I disobeyed all my fathers teachings because I fell inlove, I went against everything he taught me because Zayn meant so much to me. At the time I didn't think about what would happen when this ended, I didn't think of the reality that I'd have to leave Zayn behind. Before Zayn came into my life bodyguarding was all I knew, I wanted to be my father, I wanted to make him proud of me, Bodyguarding it was my whole life but then Zayn showed me love, I followed my heart and although things became really personal I did what I set out to do, I saved him, The stalkers gone and Zayn's safe but now I have no idea what to do. I have two options, Two roads to go down, I can either follow the road of bodyguarding, Which will mean leaving Zayn behind, Or I can stay with Zayn but that means leaving bodyguarding behind, If I choose Zayn am I letting father down? If I choose bodyguarding am I losing Zayn forever? My hearts tugging and pulling, I can't have both and I know that but I just don't know what road to choose.

Zayn and I haven't spoken since that day, He went home to see his family, Cher decided that was the best thing to do while our team take down all the cameras that were put up in his home, I've stayed with Louis, He's on the mend doing really well. I smiled as I walked into the hospital room seeing Harry sitting with Louis, Harry hasn't left Louis side since he's been in here, He's been taking care of him.

"Nialler" Louis stated with a smile on his face.

"How you feeling mate?" I asked as I walked up to the bed, I gave Harry a quick hug before kissing Louis forehead.

"Felt better, Doctors reckon I can get outta here in the next couple of days, I'll still be in pain but least I won't have to eat the shit they feed you" Louis exclaimed, I chuckled before shaking my head. 

"Same old Louis" I said, Louis chuckled before shaking his head. "Give us a minute Haz?" Louis added, Harry nodded his head.

"I'll go get us all some tea" He suggested, Louis nodded his head as Harry left the room.

"What's going on with you and Zayn?" Louis asked the second the door was closed.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"I mean what's going on? Harry said you haven't spoken in three days" Louis informed me, I sighed before sitting down.

"He asked me what happens now, Between me and him, He poured his heart out to me begging me to give up bodyguarading, He told me he didn't want to seem selfish but he couldn't watch my body be lowered into the ground" I mumbled the last part.

"And what did you say?" Louis questioned.

"Nothing" I said, Louis eyes widened.

"Nothing? He poured his heart out to you and you said nothing!" Louis yelled, I lowered my head before slowly nodding. "Niall fucking Horan are you an idiot or just plain stupid! Your lucky I'm in hospital right now because if we wasn't I'd slap you right round your head! He poured his whole heart out to you the least you could have done is replied to him!" Louis stated, I sighed.

"I know ok, I know, But, I don't know what to do Louis, My hearts telling me two different things and I don't know what to follow, You know how much bodyguarding means to me, How much I wanna make my dad proud, But then Zayn he means so much to me, I can't have one without losing the other" I exclaimed.

"Niall, This has been a problem since the very start, Your dad is proud of you, He's proud of everything you've accomplished, Your so brave but your also so stupid, Your not your dad Niall, You never have been, You've got somebody who loves you and wants you in there life, For god sake Ni you love him, I didn't just take this bullet because he's a client, I took it because you love him, A job can only last for so long but love its there forever, Yeah maybe you can't have one without the other it just comes down to what one you can't live without" Louis stated, Tears began to fall from my eyes. "Niall can you wake up everyday with Zayn in your arms knowing you had to leave something behind for him?" Louis asked.

"Yes" I mumbled.

"Can you wake up everyday without Zayn beside you?" He questioned, I shook my head.

"No" I whispered.

"Then you've already got the answer you need haven't you, It comes down to what you can't be without" Louis stated, I sighed before nodding my head.

"I love him Lou, Nearly losing him it scared me so much, All I could think of is getting him out safely" I mumbled, Louis nodded his head.

"It's not me you need to say all this to" He pointed out.

"Thanks Louis" I said before standing up just then Harry walked back into the room. "I gotta go" I stated.

"But I got you tea" Harry said.

"You drink it! I gotta see Zayn tell him I love him!" I stated.

"I always knew he was insane" I heard Harry speak as I ran out the room, I quickly pushed past all the doctors before running out the hospital, I quickly jumped in my car before starting it up, Since the very start my duty has been to my heart, I'm sorry dad but I can't change that not now.
