Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 19

I wake up in the morning to Niall getting out of bed. He throws on a shirt and adjusts the boxers hes wearing. He leaves the room and I hear him answer the front door. He talks to someone for a minute, and then the door closes. He comes back into the room and shuts the door. He smiles when he sees I'm awake.

"Good morning, princess," Niall smiles. I return his smile with a tired one. "C'mon, we can go see Harry in the hospital!"

"He's OK?!" I ask excitedly, sitting up suddenly. My tiredness gone. Niall nods his head.

"Yep. Liam didn't give me much detail, he said he stayed the night there with Krysta in Harry's room. Let's go!" He grins. I sit up and then run my fingers through my hair.

"Uhg I have to shower really quick," I say.

"That's fine. I'll make breakfast," Niall smiles. He comes forwards and kisses me. I gently kiss him back and pull away, standing up and throwing my hair over my shoulder.

"Breakfast, Niall," I giggle, heading to the bathroom. I can pretty much feel him roll his eyes. I grab a towel, step into the bathroom, and shower. When I'm done, I make Niall go to my room and grab my suitcase. When he's back, I dress myself in a cute outfit and head back out. I down a glass of orange juice and eat a bagel Niall made me. He is already dressed and smells fresh and I kiss his cheek, smelling his aftershave. We head out and drive to the hospital. All of the others are already there in the lobby waiting on us.

"There you two are," Liam smiles. He pulls me into a hug and kisses me on the cheek. "Visiting hours just stared so let's go," I make sure to keep a small distance from Niall so people wouldn't suspect we're together. My heart races with excitement as we enter Harry's room. I really do hope he's alright... And he is. When we walk in, he's sitting up in his bed, playing a game on his phone.

"OH COME ON- hi you guys." Harry says, locking his phone and giving us a smile.

"You're ok!" Zayn exclaims. Harry nods his head.

"I'll be in here a few days, doctor said," He says. "It could have hit my spinal cord and put me into a coma! Cool right?" I look over at Krysta who is pale and looks like she might faint. "Oh calm down, Kristen, I'm fine,"

"Whatever. You could have died!" Krysta exclaims, leaning forwards and crossing her arms. Harry shrugs and lays backwards in his propped up bed, satisfied smirk on his lips.

"Buuuut I didn't," He grins. Krysta walks over to the bed and gives him a hug. "I wuv you sissy," She laughs a little.

"I love you,too, idiot,"

"So, Harry, when do you get released?" Niall asks.

"Like... Ask the doctor I have no idea," Harry says, shrugging again. With that, Liam leaves the room. My guess it's to find a doctor. I follow after him. He's a few feet ahead of me so I bite my lip and grin. I run at him and jump on his back. My stitches surprisingly don't hurt. He let's out a surprised gasp, but reaches back and catches me.

"Hello, Kat," Liam giggles.

"Hello brotha," I say.

"Oh so I'm considered your brother now?" He asks, adjusting me and walking a bit slower.

"Yes. I decided to stop holding a grudge on you, and that I really do need you in my life, so," I press a kiss to the back of his head and catch the scent of his Axe shampoo and conditioner.

"I am very sorry Kat," Liam says.

"Sh!" I silence him. "No more apologizing, no more explaining, I forgive you and you're officially my brother again,"

"I'm glad. I missed you a lot. Want to go get coffee after this? Brother-sister day?" He asks.

"I'm down for it. But weren't you looking for a doctor?" I realize we're standing in front of a giant window, me still on his back, looking out at the city.

"Dang it woman!" Liam exclaims. "You distracted me," I laugh and he turns around. "OK, down." I slide off Liam's back and walk next to him as we look for a doctor. We find one. "Excuse me sir, do you know any information on Harry Styles in room 3B?"

"Yes I do! I'm about to go give him his daily checkup actually," The man grins. "How can I help you?"

"Do you know when he will be discharged?" Liam asks.

"In about three days if he's able to get around on his own. He is quite a miracle. Most people aren't awake or are in a coma after being shot. He's pretty...Well."

"Well, that's Harry for you," I say out of the blue. The doctor chuckles and grins down at me. Ok, yeah, I am five eight, but this dude is tall.

"Let's go check on him,"

-----

After Harry's visit, we find he'll be discharged in two days, and then he can perform again. All of us decide to go out for coffee and go shopping. I suggested it and Liam tried to protest but we all do need to hang out. He agreed and said we could have our day tomorrow. Niall wraps his arm around me and grins down at me. I grin back and we head to this little strip mall. It's where you can walk around and go from shop to shop, like a regular mall, but it's outside and there's lots of places to eat.

We all split off into groups. Liam and Krysta go off, Zayn and Louis leave, and so Niall and I are together. Once they're out of sight he kisses my cheek and continues to wrap his arm around my shoulders.

"So I was thinking, maybe when Harry's discharged we can tell Liam and the others about us," He says.

"Sounds good!" I grin. "Liam shouldn't get mad at me, at least I hope not." Niall smiles down at me and then I crash into someone. I begin throwing apologies when I look up to see who it was. Just Louis.

"Oh, you, sorry," I say, walking away from him, Niall trailing behind.

"Kat wait!" Louis yells. I stop and Niall steps in front of me as a protective barrier. "I need to talk to you,"

"Really? You had plenty of time to talk to me but you never came," I shout. I honestly have no idea what I just said but oh well.

"Please that's all I want to do, it's been keeping me up at night!" Louis exclaims. Coming closer to me. "I just want to talk to you," I look to Niall who looks to me. I notice Zayn talking to some fans behind Louis.

"It's alright, Kat, go. I'll hang out with Zayn and we'll meet up later," Niall tells me. I look to Louis, then back to Niall. "Go," I sigh, and step around him walking towards Louis. He takes my hand, and quickly drags me away. ____________________________________________
