Payback. Sequel To TMHJ

Chapter nine

Hey guys. Here is chapter nine. We meet Niall's parents in this one. I hope you enjoy. Or at least try to.

                 

Louis smiles at Niall's doctor as he leaves him. He looked back at the poor, fragile boy in front of him and his smile falters. Niall looked so pale. So peaceful. But he knows he isn't peaceful. The man they used to call 'uncle Simon' did this. He was the one who hurt Niall in such a way, he thought the only way out was suicide.

The continuous beeping was beginning to calm Louis down. It meant he was still breathing. His heart was still beeping. He wondered how long he'd be in this coma. He wondered if he'd wake up. He wondered if he'd be able to hold him again. It was only a few days ago they were joking around with Harry, teasing him about his lack of sex hair. He wanted those days back, but knew they wouldn't come back for a while. If Niall woke up—no wait, when Niall wakes up, their relationship would be rocky. Niall will be affected by what the monster did to him. Louis will be there for him, though. No matter what.

He remembers seeing in TV shows that he should talk to Niall. Niall will still be able to hear him. 'Hey, Niall. It's me, Louis.' Louis took a seat next to the bed, grabbing hold of one of Niall's hands. 'I just want you to know, I am here for you. I won't be leaving until you wake up. Please wake up. Simon has been taken into custody. You're safe from him.' Louis sighed. He squeezed Niall's hand.

-----------------------------------

Back in the waiting room, the foursome were stressing. 'He may not wake up,' Liam said, burying his head in Harry's shoulder. He was usually the strong one and has been the last few days for Niall. Now he needed some comfort. Harry slung his arm over Liam's shoulder and rubbed it, comforting him.

'He will. You know why? Niall is a fighter. He won't go down without a fight.'

'But he wanted to die. That's why he's here.'

'Yes, but Louis is in there. He will be talking to Niall and telling him he's safe. That Simon is locked away.'

'Is that right?' a voice asked, causing four pairs of eyes to shoot up.

'Simon?!' Zayn said, confused. 'How—'

He was cut off when suddenly someone screamed, 'you!' Louis charged at Simon, swinging a punch at Simon's head. Simon ducked, expecting it.

'Now, now, Louis. That's not very nice to do to uncle Simon.'

'You're no uncle to us. In fact, you're the reason we're all here. You hurt Niall and made him think his only option was suicide!'

'Oh yeah? What proof do you have? If Niall does die, it's just your word against mine.'

'If Niall dies, you'll be done for manslaughter. If you bully someone to the brink that they commit suicide, you'll be done for their murder,' Liam said, standing up.

'But I didn't murder him. Now, if you don't mind, I want to go see how little Nialler is going.' Simon started to walk towards reception.

'Oh no, you're not!' Louis screamed, grabbing hold of Simon.

'It's family only, Simon. You're not family,' Harry said, standing up next to Liam. They were both ready to go help Louis if he needed. They hadn't noticed Perrie had disappeared until she came back with security.

'Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to ask that you leave,' the guard said to Simon.

'I'm the boys manager. I have a reason to be here.'

'Actually, you're the reason he's in here. We also saw the bruises on his ass,' Zayn said, holding Perrie's hand when she returned to him.

'Come on. Don't make me ask again.'
