Unpredictable

chapter 28

Alex's P.O.V

I feel like shit once I'm finished. Which was fifteen minutes later. A few janitors went inside the room and I brought the trashcan across the hall, into the women's bathroom.

"You're boyfriend keeps asking me if he can see you, but maybe you'd, you know, wipe your tears from your pretty little face and chew this." She laughs giving a piece of gum. Maybe I should just carry a toothbrush with me from now on.

"Do you want your makeup bag out of your purse?" Debby asks. I nod my head and she leaves.

Debby comes back in with my whole purse and I thank her. The foundation is applied again, along with blush, mascara, and top eyeliner. I look back to normal now.

"He keeps asking if you're okay and I told him yes, but he doesn't believe me." Debby tells me while she leans against the stall door, waiting on me.

"Hurry up." Debby says to me. I nod and brush the tangles out of my hair, wincing every now and then. My hair has so many knots in it.

"I told you not to leave your room young man." She points to the door. I look in the mirror's reflection to see Niall going around Debby and coming to me.

I turn to him, brushing my hair, smiling and wincing. He laughs at me coming closer to me in the blue hospital gown. I turn to face the mirror to see how much I've brushed out.

Niall's reflection appears behind at me and his arms wrap around my waist, hugging my stomach, making my back press to his chest. His head lays down on my shoulder as he hugs me harder.

"Don't push down on my stomach, it still hurts." I tap his hand with my brush and he moves it quickly. He leans against the counter, crossing his arms over his chest, watching me as I brush my hair.

"Horan!" Debby shouts at Niall. "Did you take that needle out of your hand?"

"I didn't bring it in here with me." He laughs at her.

"Obviously not smart ass." Debby snaps playfully at him. "You didn't need it anymore, if you're leaving."

"I'm leaving today?" He asks me.

"I'm not a nurse. I don't know." I shrug, trying to detangle my long hair.

"At 5 p.m. I thought you already knew that. Your blo-, I mean, the red stuff in the tube from earlier was very good." Debby looks at me then looks away awkwardly.

"You can say blood in front of me, Mrs. Debby. I just can't look at it." I laugh at her, brushing the ends of my hair.

"Oh okay. Honey, just put your hair up, it's too tangled up to comb." She hands me scrunchy and Niall laughs at me, as my cheeks turn red while I put it up.

We get back to the room that Niall was in and I sit at the edge of the bed scrolling on my phone. I feel air behind me, so I turn around and to see Niall raising my skirt up.

"Pervert." I flip my body next to his as I lay down on my stomach and he stays sitting up. He pats my bottom and I glare at him. I'm trying to take a nap.

The door opens and Debby walks in.

"Niall, they told me you could leave, but you can't. Not today. I'm sorry, honey." She says looking through the papers on the clipboard. 

"Goddammit!" He exclaims angrily.

"Watch your mouth." She says sternly.

"The soonest you can leave is tomorrow morning at 5." Debby says and waves goodbye.

"What the fuck! They fucking told me I could go get checked out of this shithole and now I can't! Those motherfu-"

"Niall, you can leave tomorrow morning. It's okay." I cut him off, placing one of my arms over his legs.

"I got an hour of sleep last night. I hate sleeping here." He says, playing with my fingers. I wish he would stop trying to pick the polish off of my nails.

"What if I stayed here with you?" I suggest, holding my sleepy head up with my fist.

"If they allow you to, then absolutely." He says, hitting me on my bottom again. I ball up the hand that he was playing with into a fist and hold it over his dick.

"Okay, okay, okay!" He says quickly. I let my face fall onto the bed and close my eyes. I'm too tired to even respond. I got zero sleep last night because I kept thinking about Niall and because Harry and Nikki kept screaming after my iPod died.

The door opens up, but I'm half asleep so I don't bother to look.

"You do realize she stayed way past visiting hours right?" Debby says to Niall.

"Can she stay here with me tonight?" He begs.

"No, but she has to leave before 9 o'clock."

"Well, I'm leaving now. Leave the light on." Debby says closing the door. I guess she thinks we'll do something that we already have done. Niall kisses my forehand and scoots closer to me, as I lay on my stomach.
