Don't Let Me Go (SEQUEL TO CMM)

Chapter 10

Niall's POV

My eyes felt heavy and practically impossible to open. I could feel body weight next to me and a tight grip on my arm. Why can't I open my eyes? I could hear small murmurs but couldn't quite understand them.

"I love you Niall. Never forget that. I will never give up on us". My top began to feel wet and I forced my eyes open, squinting at the bright room. My head was pounding and I flinched as my body slightly moved. I looked down to see Louis sobbing against me and I carefully moved my arm up, brushing my fingers through his soft hair.

"Lou?" His body stopped shaking and he slowly looked up, his eyes widening as he locked them with mine. "What's wrong?" He scrambled up and tackled me in a right hug and I gasped, pain flushing from my left side.

"Niall I'm so sorry! what is it?"

"My ribs". I tried to sit up but fell back down, wincing again.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Lou, what happened?"

"What do you remember?"

"I remember being in Australia.." I frowned. "I think..did we...we got married?" Louis looked at me with fear. "And I remember falling...I fell over while we were playing football together..and I..I knocked my head".

"Niall, what year is it?"

"2018?"

"Oh my god". I frowned.

"What Lou?"

"Niall, it's 2023". I just blinked at him blankly.

"No it's not. It's 2018".

"Uncle Zayn look! Dada wake!" A small boy ran towards the bed and Zayn helped him up. I looked at him, horrified as he smiled widely at me. "Dada?" His smile slowly faded into a frown.

"Tommy, come here". Louis took him into his arms and left the room.

"Ni? What's wrong?" I looked to Zayn and frowned.

"Who was that and why was he calling me dada?" Zayn's eyes widened.

"Mr. Horan, it's nice to see you're awake!" A nurse walked in and grabbed the clipboard at the end of the bed. "Can I ask you a few questions?" I nodded. "What's your name?"

"Niall Horan". She nodded.

"What's your birthday?"

"Thirteenth of September 1993". She nodded.

"What year is it?"

"2018". Zayn's eyes widened even more and the nurse looked at me quizzically.

"I'm sorry?"

"It's 2018". I frowned and looked to the door. "Where did Louis go?" I looked down to my body and noticed how extremely bony I was. "Why am I so bony?" She closed the clipboard and turned to face me.

"Do you know what happened to bring you here?"

"I was playing football with Louis and I fell over and hit my head".

"Okay. Niall, I'm going to tell you some things that will confuse you, but I promise you I'm telling you the truth. Just try not to freak out. It is the 14th of August, 2023". She paused. "You were in a car accident two weeks ago and you have been in a coma. You have two broken ribs on your left side and you did have a lot of internal bleeding. But that is all foxed now. While you were in the coma, you had a seizure from a low level of blood sugar. But I need to tell you that you are suffering from a small case of retrograde amnesia. You don't remember the last five years from before the collision occurred".

"You're trying to tell me, I'm missing the last five years of my life!?" I exclaimed.

"I assure you, there is a one in four chance you will remember". Louis walked in again, holding the small boy and the nurse left, Louis sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Remember what I told you". I heard Louis murmur and the boy nodded, scrambling to face me.

"Hi! I Tom but you call me Tommy". He smiled hopefully at me and I smiled back.

"Hi Tom". He squealed with happiness and jumped on Louis. "How old are you?"

"I two!" He held up his hand and frowned at it, trying to figure out what two was and I chuckled. "Dada happy!" He squealed to Louis and I frowned.

"Lou, I think you should talk to Niall. I'll take Tom out for a walk". They left quietly and Louis looked at me, nervous.

"Why does that kid keep calling me dada?"

"Ni, four years ago we...we adopted Daniel. He's fifteen now. Not long after we adopted Max. He's four. And this year you wanted to get another boy. So we adopted Tom. I think you're Tom's favourite. That's why he looked so hurt when you didn't know who he was or engulf him in a tight hug as soon as you saw him".

"And Harry and Zayn?"

"Living happily married with two kids".

"What about Li?"

"Got a wife and son".

"Is it Danielle?" He smiled and nodded.

"Who else?"

"So we have three kids?" Louis nodded. "We were happy, yeah?" He hesitated for a second but plastered a fake smile on his lips, nodding. He hovered over me and pressed his lips to mine, smiling as I softly kissed back. I sat up slightly but gasped again, falling back on the bed.

"What is it?"

"My ribs are broken. You didn't know?" He shook his head.

"I was probably told but too fixed on the fact that you could never wake up". I looked at him sympathetically.

"But I'm awake now". He started to lean in again.

"And I could never be happier". He pressed his lips to mine, harder this time and hovered over me more, leaning on his arms on either side of me. "I love you". I smiled and kissed his nose.

"I love you too". He pecked my lips again. "When can I meet Daniel and Max?"

"Right now". I looked to see Liam with a tall boy and smaller boy who smiled widely at me.

"Dada!"

"Hi dad". Max jumped on my and hugged me tightly. I groaned.

"Louis get him off!"

"Did you just say meet?" I looked to the Daniel who was frowning. I looked to Louis and Max frowned deeply. "You don't remember me, do you?"

"Dada? You mad at Max?"

"Dada! I back dada!"

"Dad?" The room began to spin and my head continued to pound.

"Dada?"

"Ni, are you okay?"

"Dada it Tommy!"

"Dada you mad at me?"

"Dad?"

"Dada"

"Ni" I clenched my eyes closed but my head didn't stop spinning.

"Niall"

"Dada"

"Dad". Everything went black.
