Niall didn't dare to sit down on the bed, because Liam was still down on the mattress by medications, which meant that he couldn't tell him he was hurting. Instead, he sat down on a chair next to the bed stroking his cheek softly with his thumb, eyes not leaving his face.
The door opened as Louis walked in again with flowers. "Heey." He smiled weakly, putting the flowers down as he sank in the chair next to
Niall. "That was much of a suprise ha?" He asked. Niall knew he was talking about Josh and it indeed had been the least expected.
"Yeah, you're right.. I'm happy it happend though. It appears he really is sorry for what he has done." He said. "Well, sometimes things need to happen for someone to open his eyes. It's just sad that sometimes it contains someone's life." Niall nodded sadly in agreement and looked back and Liam.
"You never stopped loving him did you?" Louis asked. "Nope.. I tried to get myself as busy as possible so I didn't have the time to think about everything what happend. First it was school and an after school job. Then I joined the x-factor and fastly enough got world famous. This job is busy really. I'm already blessed with a week off." He explained.
Louis nodded. "So.. What are you going to do now you guys are together?" He asked curciously. "I have thought about it.. I was thinking that maybe I could continue my carreer and leave the concerts out. I mean, I could stay here and record in the local studio and I could sometimes leave for interviews and awardshows." He explained.
"Sounds like an idea. Maybe you should discuss it with your manager." Niall smiled weakly, it was good to know Louis thought his idea was atleast okay. His hoped his manager wasn't gonna make a big deal out of it. He meant, no concerts meant they'd make less money and that could be a problem.
Yet Niall was convinced that if he went to a tv show once in a while and get a performance there that would probably be okay eventhough it didn't make up to a tour. They just had to deal with it. He'd make more money then them getting someone new, trying to get the person famous etc. That was gonna take some time and time was money, as they said themselves.
Niall never meant to get lived. He didn't want others constantly telling him what to do or not. He should be able to decide certain things for himself as well and he somehow just knew Paul would be okay with that because he knew what was going on and he saw how hard Niall worked for everything.
"I have to go to work, the break is almost over." Louis said. "Could you text me when he wakes up? I might come visit tonight." Louis said. He had hoped Liam would have been awake by now. Niall smiled weakly and nodded.
An hour passed as Niall simply spend his time holding Liam's hand, looking through the boring white room with only a bed in it, along with a table and two chairs, plus a closet, whispering sweet nothings when a cracked moan left the older man's lips. Niall smiled weakly as Liam slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Heey.." Niall whispered softly, stroking his cheek again. Liam smiled weakly. "You sure talk alot.." Liam smirked, still appearing a big weak though. "You heard all of that?" "Yeah, no worries, I enjoyed." He said softly. Niall stood up to bend forward and kissed him softly. His eyes were closed, but he could tell Liam was smiling.
"You have no idea how much I love you and how much I missed you." Liam whispered against his lips just when Niall meant to ask how he was feeling. He smiled weakly. "I love you too, but I'm back now.. And I'm not gonna leave." He pulled back, sitting down again.
"What about your career?" "Aren't we suppossed to be talking about how you're feeling right now?" Liam laughed softly. "I'm alive and I'm ready to start all over with you to get old together." Was his answer. Niall couldn't help it but kiss him again. "Silly teacher." Niall mumbled. "Not anymore." Liam smirked.
"I'm gonna try and work less." Niall said. "I'll talk with my manager about all of it, he knows the story. If I live the concerts out there will be less travelling. We can record things here and going out for an interview of performance once in a while shouldn't be such a big deal." "Are you sure about this?" "Yes, why?" "I don't want you to give up on something you love for me." He said softly. "It's worth it. By that I didn't like travelling anyways."
Liam laughed softly again, kissing him softly. No words could described how much he loved this boy.
-
To his own suprise Liam had thanked Josh and accepted Josh's apologize for everything that happend two years ago. They both remained in Liam's apartment as he was home again after spending four more days in the hospital. Niall's vacation was suppossed to be over, but he simply refused to go to work again.
He had talked to Paul who had listened to his idea. They eventually decided Niall would do a last tour which had been planned anyways as Liam had decided he'd travel along with them.
Niall sank down on the couch next to him. "Say Liam.." He said softly. "Have you ever thought about what our life would have looked like if the baby had been here..?" He asked softly. "Yes, more then once.. All the time actually. I wasn't happy with the life I was living and somehow imagining how it should have been made me calm. I dreamed about it often and it satisfied me, untill I woke up ofcourse."
He explained. "And have you ever thought about trying again?" Niall asked. Liam turned slightly to look down at him. "Would you want that?" "Absolutely." Liam smiled and kissed his lips softly.
