In Your Dreams

Chapter 37

A/N just a quickie before I start this chapter. I apologise again for the previous chapter, I actually got the idea from XxSkater2Girl16xX where she did this one fake chapter in the middle of her story where everyone was totally shocked and then she told everyone it was fake the next chapter. That was my original plan BUT I decided to carry on the story this way to see where it goes :) Sorry for not updating in like forever but my life has been too hectic. This is possibly the last chapter, not totally sure, so I hope you enjoy!

_________________________________________

I hear unfamiliar noises all around me with increasingly annoying persistent beeping. The air around me smells clean and of some sort of cleaning fluid. I scrunch my nose up at the horrible smell. At the exact moment I do this I hear multiple gasps from around me and someone clutching at my right hand. My eyelids flutter but I cannot find the strength to actually open them. My forehead creases in frustration and a few more gasps echo around the room. What on earth is going on?

"Becca?" I hear a voice say beside me, and I know immediately that Eilidh is here with me wherever the hell I am.

My lips part as if to reply but no sound comes out as I can't seem to find my voice anywhere.

"Becca, please talk to us," a different voice says this time, a voice that I heard not that long ago. I would speak if I flipping could Ryan!

Someone squeezes my hand again and with all the strength I have I squeeze back to show I'm with them, even if I have no idea what I'm supporting them with. Why am I so tired? Why are there so many people here while I was sleeping? There's definitely something going on here.

"Becca..." a voice says from beside me that's wracked with sobs. This voice instantly grabs my attention and has me hanging on every word. "All you need to do is open your eyes. Please."

Niall... he's here. Has he forgiven me? Why is he here? Where even is here? But damn it, I'm going to try my bloody hardest to open my eyes for Niall.

I struggle for about five minutes before my eyelids eventually flutter open and relief floods through me. All I can see is blinding white light when I first open my eyes and it eventually fades away until I can take in the scene around me.

The room is jam packed full of the people I love. Natasha and Zoe stand in the back along with Adam, Joel, Andy, Liam, Louis, Zayn and Harry. On one side of me is Eilidh and my mum who is clutching my hand in a death grip and tears streaming down her face. Sitting on the chair beside her is my dad, holding my mums hand to comfort her. Sitting on the end of my bed is my sister, who is crying with joy now, with my niece Chloe sitting on the bed looking slightly confused as to what's going on. My nephew Rylee sits on my sisters knee oblivious to everyone and everything and being his usual boisterous self. Eventually, my gaze lands on Ryan on my other side who practically tackles me in a bear hug. When he moves out of the way, I find who my eyes have been searching for the minute I woke up- Niall.

I attempt to reach out for his hand, but it falls lifelessly to my side. He quickly reaches for it and takes it in both of his hands and kisses it. My eyelids flutter closed at the sensation of his lips on my skin.

Of course someone has to come in and interrupt the beautiful moment. The doctor pushes himself through the crowds of people which is the first moment I realise that I am, in fact, in a hospital and demands only family to stay. As everyone files out Ryan protests that he stay because he was the one to save me and Niall reluctantly gets up to leave.

"Stay," I say in a croaky unused voice. The doctor does not argue with my demand and Niall sits back down along with Ryan.

The doctor first explains to me that I have been in a coma following a jet crash which spikes tears in my eyes. In a coma? How much of my life have I missed? Before I can ask any questions he then proceeds to shine a light in my eye that makes me squint and causes me to see bright patches in my vision for the next five minutes.

"What is the last thing you remember?" he asks, waiting to write down my reply on his paper.

I search my brain for any last memories after being on the jet with Ryan and just when I think I'm not going to remember anything, every single memory comes flooding back. The plane crashing into the deep water, the heavy object falling on me, the feeling of drowning...

"I thought I was dead..." I say not any more than a whisper.

The doctor motions towards Ryan. "From what Mr. Fletcher has told us, you weren't breathing when he saved you but he performed CPR and brought you back to life.. You're extremely lucky"

My heart fills with warmth and love as I look at this beautiful man. "Thank you, Ry," I say and I begin crying.

Niall clutches my hand tighter to offer support. After the doctor asks me a few more questions and performs a few more test on me he says, "I'm glad to inform you that you have no head injuries or memory loss. But we will keep you in here for observation for a couple more days just in case and you can rest up."

My parents mutter their thank you's and the doctor exits the room.

"I was so scared that you were never going to wake up," my mum cries.

My brow crinkles in confusion. "How long was I out for?"

"Three weeks," my mum whispers and my dad soothes her by rubbing circles on her back. "We visited every day, but this boy right here, has barely left your side," she says while motioning towards Niall.

I turn to face him and my heart swells with love and begins to beat faster and faster, causing the heart monitor to beep. Niall laughs slightly at my hearts reaction to him. Stupid machine. My parents and sister silently get up and leave the room to give Niall and I some privacy. Ryan is a little less reluctant to leave, but after a slight glare from Niall, he plants a kiss on my forehead and leaves the room too.

"Niall..." I say, my voice breaking slightly. I remember everything I did to him and all the things he did to me. He broke my heart but I refuse to let that stop me from getting what I want. I love him and I was going to tell him. I still am going to tell him.

"Shhh," he soothes me and rubs circles on my hand with his thumb.

I shake my head and try to sit up in my bed but Niall is immediately on his feet and pushing me back down, giving me a warning glare while he's at it. In frustration I say, "No, Niall I need to tell you why I was on that jet."

"No you don't," he says quietly, now brushing a strand of hair away from my face and then caressing my cheek. My eyes flutter closed and I can almost see the panic in him through my closed eyes. I open them again and he relaxes.

"I do Niall. I was coming to tell you-" I stop, unsure of whether to say it or not, but his patient expression urges me to continue. "I was coming to tell you I love you."

My voice is barely above a whisper and Niall's expression is confused for a moment, as if trying to figure out whether I did actually just tell him I love him. But when it finally hits, his expression mirrors mine and he leans down to plant a soft kiss on my cheek. Slyly, I lift my hand and move his face to the right so his lips touch mine. He seems surprised to start with, but then he responds eagerly until I have to pull away for breath.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that. I love you too," he says as he begins stroking my hair.

"Really?" I ask, relief flooding through me that he said it back.

He laughs slightly. "Yes. I knew it from the minute I saw you finish that packet of crisps in the limo within twenty seconds. I thought 'boy she could be the only person on this planet to match me' and I knew you must be the one."

I give the widest smile I have in months right then and I know that I too, have found the one.

Well I hope you liked that chapter, because it was the last one. BUT DON'T WORRY! there will be an epilogue :) Are you glad that they finally ended up together? You have no idea how long I've waited to write a chapter where they eventually end up together, but what can I say? I like to make things interesting. I'm so sorry it was a little short but this is all I felt like I needed to put into this chapter.
