Hopeless, Depressed, Miserable.
I couldn’t believe what was going on, Niall got hit by a car to save my life it has been 5 months, my mom was unplugged from life support, and I had no one. I was in the hospital just sitting by Niall’s bed crying and wondering why this happened.
“Why did you do this to me?” I sobbed to no one in particular.
I was crying for a while but no one was here to calm me down, I wish I had someone, my mom is dead, so is my dad, and I have no friends except Niall, who was my best friend and boyfriend. Niall was asleep at the time, but he still hasn’t remembered who I am. I just don’t understand why this happened to me, I’ve never done anything bad, I never hurt anyone, and what did I do to deserve this?
As I was thinking to myself, I heard some voices in the hallway. They were coming towards Niall’s room and as they passed the door they stopped and doubled back.
“Guys this is it.” I heard a voice say, he had a think English accent. They came inside and didn’t notice me until they heard me sniffling. I tried as quickly as possible to stop crying and I looked up to see 4 boys. All of them were gorgeous, but not as good looking a Niall.
“Ello beautiful” One of them said, he had mesmerizing, electric green eyes, and was quite the cutie. “What’s your name?” he asked me. It took me a second to realize they were talking to me and finally I answered “I’m Jenna, Niall’s girlfriend” I said not looking at them anymore. They were all staring at me and it was making me quite uncomfortable. I quickly got up from my hard hospital chair, kissed Niall lightly on the forehead and walking out of the room, their eyes still following me.
Once I got outside the room I leaned against the wall next to the door and listened to the conversation inside. “Who was the girl and why did she leave?” said one voice. “What did you guys do?” said another. “Look guys her boyfriend is almost dead what do you expect er’ to do?” this one had a comforting voice, it was soothing just to hear. I started cry again at the mention of Niall, I slide down the wall and hit the ground with a thud.
“What was that?” one of the voices from inside said. I put my hands in my head and started to cry even more. I heard a pair of footsteps coming out of the room, but I didn’t bother to look up, I kept my head in my hands. I felt a body slide down next to me, the person still not saying anything. We sat there in silence for a while until the mysterious guy finally side something.
“You know a beautiful girl like you shouldn’t be crying.” I looked up to see a guy from the group of boys that come into the room, he went on “Listen Niall wouldn’t want you crying, he would want you to be happy that he’s awake, he’s not dead, he’s alive and we should be thankful for that. I know he doesn’t remember who you are, but he doesn’t remember me either. Together we can try and help him remember everything he forgot. Trust me it’s not only you who feels alone, depressed, and gloomy, and listen if you’re willing to give me a chance, I want to help you through this. Niall is not only my best friend, he is like a brother to me and I will do anything to make his girlfriend happy.”
I sat there for a little longer before standing up “Look, I don’t need your help, I don’t even know you let alone care who you are, and I don’t want people playing the sympathy card because I don’t need it. So please leave me alone and go away.” I sprinted away towards the elevator, but I felt him running after me. I picked up the pace and decided to take the stair because the elevator would take too long. The mystery boy was still chasing me, but I was slowly getting tired. I finally slowed down and when I got outside the hospital I stopped sitting on a bench. I though the boy had stopped following me because I didn’t hear his footsteps anymore, that was until someone sat down on the bench with me.
“I’m not trying to pull the sympathy card on you. Look at me.” I finally took another look at the boy, he was quite the looks, nice eyes and brown hair. “You’re not the only one who’s going through this, I almost lost my brother how do you think it feels for me?” He started crying, a crystal like tear rolling down his cheek. I stared at him for a while longer before finally speaking up.
“Look I’m sorry, I lost my mom on the same day I almost lost Niall, this whole 5 months has been hard for me, not having a mom or dad for that matter. I always push away the people who are trying to help, and I guess I should stop, because people actually care, don’t they?” I looked at him he had stopped crying and was looking me in the eyes, melting me and mesmerizing me. His eyes were like a drug, they calmed you when you looked into them, and beyond that you could see the hurt and sadness I his eye, despite the sparkle. I stood up and went to stand in front of him. “Listen I don’t know who you are, but I’m willing to give you a chance, do you really think he will ever remember me?”
He finally spoke up “I can’t give you a sure answer, because anything could have happened to his brain, but I will try my hardest as long as you give me the chance to help. Deal?”
“Deal” I shook his hand and he pulled me into a hug. I just stood there for what seemed like an eternity waiting for him to pull away but he didn’t, we just stood there. His hug gave me hope, it was comforting and made me feel safe. When we finally broke apart I remember an important question.
“Before we go back up to Niall’s room, what is your name and who are you?”
