The change

Why am I here?

I hear a steady beep every 20 seconds going off to my left. I reach to shut off my alarm clock but nothing's there and it won't turn off, I look to see a heart rate machine to the side of the bed I was laying in.

I try to get up but my stomach hurts. So I stay in place and try to stay calm. I don't like hospitals considering that I was in a hospital for, 2 years with stab wounds and bruised bones.

I see the boys walk into the room and they flash me gentle smiles. I don't understand why they came they don't even know me that well.

The boys sat on the couch across from the hospital bed and my friends walk into the room and didn't freak out that the boys were in the room and shocked me without me saying anything.

"Um guys am I supposed to be here?" I hold my head and look at them.

"Yeah, you've been passed out for a whole day." Angel says to me and I nod.

"Oh, well then I guess that's why your not screaming that One Direction are here." I say and they nod.

"While you were asleep we've heard about Niall and you and the boys so we've gotten to know each other." Blair says and I nod making it good that I was passed out for the screaming part.

With the IV in my arm I could barely move it because it hurt. But why did I pass out for no apparent reason.

My phone rang and everyone looked at me and I looked at them, Angel told me to answer it.

"Hello." I say into the phone.

"Miss. Jean, you have a package from the store would you like us to keep it down here for you at the desk?" The front desk manager asks me.

"Oh yes, can you please, that would be great." I say and laugh.

"Yes Miss, thank you for the communication." he says into the phone with the raspy voice yet so flattering to hear that he has a good side to him.

"Your welcome." and with those final words the phone call ended. Everyone looked at me confused and very unaware.

"The front desk had a package from the store so I told them to keep it at the front desk." I told them and they nodded.

The nurse and doctor came in. They asked if I could fill out some questions on a sheet for them and I nodded in reply.

I was handed a clipboard with 50 questions asking Do you smoke? Ever been abused? Sexually active? I laughed because most of them are going to be checked off as yes.

Answering all the questions the nurse looks at them and nods and asks the girls and guys to leave the room to ask me some questions.

"Now according to your questions, we have to see any marks on your body, now Miss. Jean I'm sorry it's uncomfortable but it's for your files." she says with a guilty smile but it's her job.

"That's fine, it's your job." I innocently smile at her.

With her closing the blinds so no one can see looking in. I feel safer that way.

"Would you like someone to come in, to make you more comfortable?" She asks me and I nod.

She goes out into the hall way and comes back in with Niall. I figured she would come back with Angel but I guess she trusts him.

He looks so uncomfortable with his hands in his pockets and solemn smile. I feel bad and give him the "you don't have to stay look". He just shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders.

The nurse lets me put on shorts so it's not so awkward for Niall. She pulls up the hospital gown to show my bruised and injured skin, that purposely never gets revealed.

His eyes go wide as I bite my lip and look away from him. The nurse rights down some information and leaves the room along with Niall behind her.

(ANGEL'S POV)

Niall comes out of the room having his hands over is mouth in shock.

"You alright mate?" Louis gets up and walks over to him and he shakes his head.

"What's wrong?" I ask him moving closer to him and Louis.

"Angel, tell me about her scars." Niall demands at me. Skyla never told him.

"Ok Niall, I know it's hard to take in but she was abused and she has a self harm disorder." I say to him and he looks at the door and runs his hands through his hair.

Louis gives him an embrace and Niall just looks so down and depressed.

"I never noticed them before." Niall's words make me question him.

"Why would you see them in the first place." I ask him and he looks at me with his brow furrowed.

"Nevermind, I should just check up on Skyla." he says walking towards the door.

"Yeah, no your not, sit over there and I'm gonna go talk to her." I look at him sternly and he just parks his bum on the bench.

I walk over to the door, pushing it open. I look at my friend who is panicked.

"Hey Sky? You okay?" I ask her and she shrugs.

"Yeah I guess but Niall saw my scars and I don't know what to say." she says to me and I look at her reassuringly.

"I told him why you have scars." I say to her and she nods and takes a breath of relief.

"But, when Niall was talking he said, that he was surprised he's never seen them? What does that mean?" I ask her and she bites her lip and looks at the window.

Oh god, she didn't.

"You didn't have sex did you!?" I almost scream at her with a sour expression.

"No he just decided to come into a shower with me, only one time though." she looks down at her hands while her thumbs are moving in a circular motion.

"Ok, good no sex without my permission." I tease her with a smile and she laughs.

Everybody comes into the room and I just look at Niall thinking that well if he didn't just immediately have sex with her, he must be a keeper.
