Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Niall could hear the sounds of the heartmonitor far away. Was he... Still alive?
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. He heard voices far away.
"Does that mean he's going to be okay?" He reconized the voice. It was Liam.. What was he doing here? "Yes, but he'll need alot of rest. By that, we're trying to find out the cause of this. He can't stay at home after this happend. He meight end up in a clinic to deal with depression unless someone is able to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day." He heard someone explain who he guessed was the doctor.
Why was he alive in the first place?
He heard someone took place next to him. Or well, he guessed so because it sounded like a chair getting pushed back. Such an annoying sound it made, yet he was happy Liam was with him.
He felt two warm hands around his own cold hands. "Heey beautiful.." Liam's voice wispered as one of the hands left and touched his cheek carefully.
"You should wake up, don't you think.. You're going to be fine.." Niall would never understand why Liam cared so much about him in the first place, but like always, he liked it and then he realised what he had actually done to his teacher.
He would tutor him, so had he been the one to find him or had his mom come home early? If that had been the case then why was Liam here instead of his mom?
He heard Liam sigh softly and stand up. Niall wanted to scream out that he didn't want him to leave, but he couldn't. Instead of the footsteps he expected to hear he felt soft lips on his forehead.
"Wake up for me love, don't make me wait forever.."
Liam said softly. Niall adored the nickname and he wished more then anything that he could fullfill Liam's wish and tell him how much he liked it when he called him Love.
"Hm.." He moaned softly. He had to wake up. For Liam.
"Niall?" His teacher said softly. Niall slowly opened his eyes and looked into two brown worried eyes. "Heey.." Liam whispered softly as his hand reached out for his cheek again, thumb gently rubbing his cheek. "How do you feel..?"
"Weak.." Niall cracked. How long had he been here? He felt like he wasn't even able to lift his arm. Liam smiled weakly. "Do you want some water?" Niall nodded slowly, watching Liam's movements.
He helped him up a bit as he helped him drink. "Thanks.." He breathe out as he sank back into the pillow and swallowed.
"What happend..?" He asked speaking softly, slowly closing his eyes. Liam's eyes widened slightly. "You don't remember?"
"I can't remember what after I.. well.. you know.." He said softly. Liam looked at the boy. He looked pale and so fragile.. He had been thinking Niall actually started to feel better, yet he had been beaten and he didn't do that to himself did he?
"I found you.. In the bathroom." Liam explained. Niall opened his eyes again. "Sorry.." He said softly, eyes getting teary. "Don't apologize Love, I'll make everything alright again." Liam hushed as he sat down next to him and hugged him carefully. Niall sank against him. "Promise..?" Niall whispered softly. "Promise." Liam replied.
"I need to ask you something Niall.." Liam said softly after quite a while of silence. "What is it..?" Niall asked giving him a puzzled look. "Who did that damage to your body?"
Niall looked down and bit his lip. "Niall listen, if you don't let me help you know, it's only gonna get worse okay? They need to know to help you and get you save.."
Niall looked up in Liam's eyes and sighed softly. "So he won't hurt me again?" He asked, still doubting wether to tell the truth or not. Liam nodded as he heard the answer he had hoped not to hear, but expected.
