Never Leave My Side (A Niall Horan Story)

Never Leave My Side (Chapter Thirty One)

*Sapphire's POV*

My head snapped up the second I heard my da's voice. "Sapphire?"

I smiled, even though his voice was unsure. "Hey." I said quietly. "How are you feeling?"

He gave a small shrug. "I don't know. I'd feel so much better if I could remember things." He sighed.

I sat in the chair at the side of his bed, "well, how about you tell me what you want to know, and I will be more than happy to tell you." I smiled.

"Thank you." He paused. "Before we start this "One Thousand Questions" game, I really want you to know I am so sorry for not remembering you. I'm really trying. I promise."

I gave a small weak smile. "I know. It's okay."

"Shall we begin then?" He asked.

I leaned back. "Go for it."

"You should probably get some rest now." I said.

Da and I have been sitting in silence for about thirty minutes. Da sat thinking through all his new information I've given him. "Yeah. I suppose you're right."

I stood up and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "I'll be back later. I love you da."

I walked out as the nurse came in to give da his pills. I heard the door shut behind me as I walked down the long hallway.

I sighed in relief when I finally found the waiting room. Everyone turned to look in my direction when I walked towards Niall. "Hey. How's da?" He asked quietly.

I shrugged and moved to rest my head on his shoulder. "Confused. Lost." I sighed again.

Niall wrapped his arms around me, pulling me onto his lap. I put my head back on his shoulder, closing my eyes. "It'll be okay. Just give him some time."

I hummed my response, relaxing into him as he began messaging small circles in my back.

"You can sleep baby. I'll wake you up if needed." He whispered. He placed a kiss to my neck as I slowly drifted into a dreamless sleep.

*Harry's POV*

I smiled watching Niall and Sapphire. How did he even make it through the month?

I tore my gaze from them and looked at Tori, who sat next to me. She looked exhausted. "Hey." I whispered.

She smiled. "Hey."

I couldn't help but to smile back. Her smile is so beautiful. "You want to get out of here?" I asked quietly.

She blushed deeply and shrugged. "Where are you wanting to go?" She asked quietly.

I chuckled. "Anywhere that has a bed." Tori went quiet, staring at me. "Tori? What did-" Oh... "Not like that... You look as tired as I feel... I thought we could go cuddle and-"

"Come on. We can go back to Sapphire's." She said, grabbing my hand as we stood up.

I smiled and wrapped our fingers together. We waved goodbye to everyone as we walked out of the doors. I chuckled when Tori leaned closer to me, half asleep. "Let's just call a cab. I'm too tired to drive. " I said.

I leaned against the hospital building and called a cab. "It will be here soon." I told Tori, pulling her into me.

"Harry?" I heard someone say as the Taxi drove up.

I looked around, searching for the person. My eyes widened, landing on the tall brunette. "Stacy?" I asked.

She shrugged. "The one and only." She giggled.
