I looked in absolute horror at the scene in front of me.

Justin was there, blood pouring from more than one area on him.

"Oh my-Call an ambulance!" Louis screamed, shaking.

Liam took the lead, pulling his phone from his pocket and making the call. Zayn pulled me towards him, giving me a hug.

I looked to Justin's face, realizing he was actually awake.

I pulled away from Zayn, and to Justin's side.

"Justin, a-are you okay?" I asked, not sure if I should touch him.

Justin groaned, squeezing his eyes shut.

"Stay calm, Justin. An ambulance will be here any minute." Liam said, trying to keep the situation under control.

I felt tears prick my eyes, staring at Justin's blood, and broken body.

"It-It hurts ugh." Justin groaned.

I was actually scared watching Justin in pain.

"Just breathe." Harry tried, running a hand through his curls.

"I'm so sorry Justin." Louis said, thats when I noticed he was crying.

I heart ached for Louis, feeling bad he was taking it so hard. 

I looked back at Justin, watching as he breathed deeply, his eyes still clutched closed.

Sirens began ringing in my ears as an ambulance pulled into the car-park.

----

Waiting in the hospital had to be the most nerve wrecking feeling.

Scooter, Paul, Liam, Zayn, Louis, Harry and I were the only ones here.

I rubbed my temples, trying to relax.

"Wh-What exactly happened?" Scooter spoke, worry filling him.

I swallowed, staring at Louis.

I wasn't blaming Louis, but he was the one driving.

"I-He came out of nowhere... He just ran out in front of the car, so I accidentally h-hit him." Louis stuttered quietly.

"I'm sure he'll be alright.." Paul said, trying to put hope in us.

I'm sure he would too, he was conscious...

That must count as something.

"Scott Braun?" A nurse came out. Scooter got up and rushed towards her.

"Is he alright?" Scooter asked, biting his lip.

"He'll be fine after a few nights rest... he's awake now but only wants to see one person." The nurse said, sighing.

"Who?" Scooter asked.

"A Niall Horan.." She said.

I stood up and rushed over.

"Thats me." I said.

"He only wants to see you, is that alright?" She glanced at everyone.

"Its fine with us... Niall could you please tell me how he is?" Scooter looked at me. I nodded, following the nurse down a hall and into a room.

Justin was in a bed, hooked to two machines.

He looked to me, a weak smile on his lips.

"I'll leave you two alone, be careful." The nurse said, walking out. I walked over to Justin, hesitantly grabbing his hand.

"Are you okay?" I whispered.

Justin licked his lips, "I'm in a lot of pain, but honestly, I'm relieved."

I raised a brow, confused.

"Why are you relieved?" I asked.

"Niall, I-I need to tell you something." Justin said, sighing.

I sat on the chair beside his bed, staring in his amazing brown eyes.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Its about my bodyguard... but before I start, I honestly don't care if you tell this to the police or the media... I want to feel safe.. and I realize now that to be safe, I have to tell you the truth." Justin told me, blinking away some tears.

I gripped his hand tighter.

"F-Frank... I had an encounter with him before he became my bodyguard." Justin said.

"The guy who came this morning?" I asked.

Justin nodded, "Th-The rumours spreading about me are t-true."

I stared at Justin, shocked.

He told me who exactly this Frank guy was, and what he did to him.

I couldn't believe it, and anger began to swell inside me.

How dare this Frank guy touch my Justin.

Justin started to tell me about what happened today, and showed me a small bruise on his neck, which happened to be a hickey.

I didn't know what to say when Justin ran out of words.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you.." Justin said, tears falling freely down his cheek.

I knew what I had to do, and that was to hug him.

I can't believe he went through so much.

I can't believe he had gone through this, and I hadn't noticed.

I didn't know how this had all possibly happened without me knowing.

Right now, Justin was silently sobbing into my shoulder, and I let him.

He's allowed to cry, he's allowed to have that stimulation of relief.

I didn't care how long I had to hold him for, but now, I was more than anything, determined to keep him safe and out of harms way.

Call me selfish, but I say he's my Justin, not anyone else's.

He can have Belieber's, just like I can have Directioner's, but at the end of the day, we have each other, forever and always.

It took a while, but Justin had settled down.

"Ni?" Justin mumbled, his voice cracking.

"Hm?" I hummed, rubbing his back.

"I... I love you." He was the first to say it.

I smiled, licking my lips.

"And I love you."
