Little Secret (One Direction/Niall Horan)

Chapter 19- Questions

  I got interrupted from my thoughts by the paramedic standing over Ashlin.

            “Do you think that this was planned?”  He questions with a serious expression.

            “I think so.  There was an empty bottle and 5 letters.”

            “Yes, it was probably a suicide attempt.”

            “Oh.”  Was all I could say.  I didn’t see that one coming from a girl like her.  I guess I really didn’t know anything about her.

            “You are her boyfriend, correct?”

            “Uh, yes.”  I stammer out.

            “Okay, was there any signs that showed depression?”

            “No, I was oblivious.”  It was true.

            “Okay, I’m not the doctor so I’m not going to ask any more questions.  He’ll probably ask some when we get inside, because we’re here.” 

           I stand there motionless.  The paramedics come over quickly and take her away with me awkwardly trailing behind.  I want to speak and ask questions but it was like my mouth was sewn shut.  Not to mention, my head was killing me still.  I couldn’t figure out how to ask questions.  I knew if I did open my mouth it would be all over.  I would have tears down my cheeks and eyes would be puffy.  I would start to have an anxiety attack and wouldn’t be able to breath.  All I could do for now was watch.  I am pushed back once I try to go into certain doors.  I didn’t protest, just went back into the lobby where all the chairs sat.  It was the least I could do.  All of the sudden I was faced with a doctor.  I look up and it looks like he was trying to speak to me.  I couldn’t hear anything although.  Maybe he would figure that out.  I close my eyes for a second and felt something warm run down my cheek.  It was like I got all my senses back.  I could hear and hopefully talk.  I look up and try to speak.

         “I’m sorry doc, can you repeat what you just said to me?”  It comes out in a hoarse whisper.

         “I said that she just came out of getting her stomach pumped.  She’s in her room which is 365.  She is still unconscious but should be awake in an hour.  I’d also like to ask you a couple of questions.”  How long was I just sitting there?

           “Do you have any idea of how long I was sitting there?”

          “We were in there for about an hour and a half.”  Damn.

          “Okay, thank you.” 

          “Now for the questions.  What is this young girl’s name?”

          “Ashlin Carsey.”

         “Okay, thank you.  Do you know her mother’s name or father’s name or anything to do with her family?”

          “Nope, I have no idea.”

          “How long have you known Ashlin?”

          “Almost a whole week.”

        "And you’re her boyfriend.”     

        “Uh y-yeh.”  I stutter.

          “Are you sure?”

           “Uh yeah.”

            “Okay, did she ever get a very pale face and body when running?”

            “Yeah.  A lot.”

            “Okay thank you.  I’ll ask you some more questions later.” 

            “Alright.”

            I sit in the lobby’s chairs for another 15 minutes before the doctor comes back out.  He informs me to go inside her room since she was supposed to wake up in about 10 minutes.  I follow him to the room and he stops at the door and letting me pass through.  I look at her shut eyes and fragile body.  Soon enough I would see her beautiful blue eyes.  It’s weird to think that just a little earlier today her eyes were dark blue and swimming with tears.  She was sobbing and couldn’t breathe.  But now it seems like she’s dreaming a peaceful dream.  Only if I knew the truth.

            “Uh, hey Niall.”  I look up and see Harry standing there with Zayn.  Zayn was here?  That’s strange.

            “Hi.”

            “We are really worried about you.”

            “Thanks Harry.  Where are Louis and Liam?”

            “They are there way here.  Zayn and I were together when we got the text.  Louis and Liam were with each other.”

            “Okay.”

           “Niall.  You have to believe she’ll be okay.”

           “How do you know that?”

            “She’ll be okay.”

           “HOW DO YOU KNOW?”  I yell as my Irish accent comes out thicker when I’m angry.

          “Niall calm down.”

          “DON’T TELL ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN.”

           “Niall.”          

         “WHAT HARRY?  WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?  YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER.”  I yell once again.

         “Niall, please calm down.”

         “NO HARRY.”  I just let it all go.  My tears were falling so fast and I couldn’t stop it.  I hear more footsteps come in and I already know it was Louis and Liam.  A strong pair of arms come around me and I cry even harder.  I hear Zayn telling Harry it wasn’t his fault and it’ll be okay soon.  I sure hope so.
