More Than This (A Niall Fan Fiction)

Chapter 30

*Niall's POV*

It had been a week since the accident. Megan's condition hadn't gotten any better. her cuts and bruises were healing, but she was still in a slight coma.

Sierra, on the other hand, was getting worse and worse.

Tyler had gotten here just two days ago, and was here all the time. He and I only left when the doctors came to do tests and treatments, and those times they made us go home.

The first night I went home, I took a shower. I stood there for over an hour, until all the hot water was gone. I just stared at the wall, thinking.

I didn't want to lose Megan, not after all we've been through. Not after finally getting together. I remembered the time I realised my feelings for her.

We were twelve, and she had been back from the states for two years, her accent still tinted with American. We were at a park, playing football. We were getting tired, so we say on the swings. We had a competition to see who could go the highest. Megan won, but being the klutz she is, she managed to fall off while she was trying to slow down.

*flashback*

"C'mon, Ni! I bet I can go higher!" Megan said, gaining speed and height.

"You're on!" I said, doing the same.

After a couple of minutes, Megan clearly won.

"Ha! Told ya I could go- Ahh!" She yelled, landing face first in the mulch.

I screeched the swing to a stop and hopped off.

"Megan, are you alright?" I said.

She popped up, brushing herself off giggling.

"Yeah, I'm fine!" She said, her smile huge.

I smiled back. Eventually, her giggle made me laugh, and we just stood there, laughing.

"We should probably go home, it's getting late." She said after a minute.

"Yeah." I said. I grabbed the ball and we walked the couple of blocks back to our houses.

"Night, Ni." She said, waving as she walked in her door.

"Night, Megs." I said back, putting the ball in my garage and heading in.

I had dinner with my dad and Greg, then went up to bed. I sat staring at the ceiling, and my thoughts kept going back to Megan. She was so goofy and clumsy, and so sweet. Then I realised. I liked Megan. Really really liked her.

*end flashback*

That made me smile, and made me miss her even more.

*~*~*~*

I was sitting by Megan's side after the doctors had done another check up. They said her heart was getting stronger, and brain activity was up.

"Do you think she'll wake up soon?"

"We aren't sure. We didn't think it would be this long, and it could be longer. I'm sorry." Dr. Sanbourne said.

My heart sank a bit. "Oh, alright." I said. "Thank you."

He nodded his head and walked out, leaving me alone with Megan. I took her hand again.

"Hey Megs." I said. "I know you probably can't hear me, but if you can, just, just show me somehow. Okay? Just, show me, that you're alright." I could feel some tears fall. I wiped them away with my other hand. I sat back in my chair, and just watched her. She looked so peaceful. I wondered what was going on in her mind.

*~*~*~*~*~*

*Megan's POV*

I was able to hear more clearly. Things were less muffled. I could hear the different nurses and doctors voices talking to each other, and to Niall.

I could make out the doctors saying something to him after what I presumed was a check up. Something about how I was slowly getting stronger.

When I heard Niall speak, it broke my heart. He sounded so broken. But he was trying.

I heard the doctors' footsteps, and then I felt Niall take my hand. And then he spoke.

"Hey Megs." He said. "I know you probably can't hear me, but if you can, just, just show me somehow. Okay? Just, show me, that you're alright."

He sounded like he was crying. I wanted so desperately to get up and hug him. But I couldn't . I tried so hard to move just one finger. To show him that I was fighting. To just squeeze my hand was taking some great effort. But I did it.

I squeezed my hand. I squeezed my hand. If I could jump for joy I would.

*~*~*~*~*~*

*Niall's POV*

I was just about to drift off when I was startled. I felt pressure on my hand. The hand that was holding Megan's.

She was squeezing my hand. She heard me.

"Megs?" I said, leaning forward. "You can hear me!" I said, smiling. "You're gonna be okay."

"Nurse!" I called. One rushed in.

"Yes?" She said.

"She squeezed my hand. She can hear me!" I said.

"I'll get Dr. Sanbourne right away." She said, walking out of the room.

I turned back to Megan. "I'll see you soon." I said, kissing her forehead.

I had hope that she would recover quickly.
