*Juliet's POV*

I was sitting on my bed, writing in my journal when one of the nurses came in.

"Juliet, you have a visitor." She said. I sat up straight and put down my journal, and grabbed my white board. I nodded to the nurse, silently saying to her, "Let them in."

The nurse smiled and opened the door. She walked out, and a boy about my age walked in. My heart started to beat fast: that by was Niall Horan! From One Direction! Niall smiled at me and kneeled down in front of me: a white teddy bear and a single red rose in his hands. "Hi, I'm Niall Horan! You must be Juliet, right?" He asked as he handed me the teddy bear and the rose. I smiled and nodded. This boy was seriously the cutest. I grabbed my white board and a marker and wrote: 'Yeah, that's me! It's really nice to meet you, Niall. I've been listening to One Direction since the X Factor: The very beginning!'

Niall chuckled. "I heard you were a big fan of us...I mean, me and the lads, right?" He asked again. This time, I pointed to a big poster of One Direction that I had on my wall. Niall jokingly mimicked his own pose in the picture. "That's one handsome fella that you've got on on your wall there, Juliet." He said. I silently laughed. I swear, this boy was going to be the death of me. Then, Niall sat down next to me, looking at me with a curious look on his face. I blushed profusely: no boy had ever looked at me with such intrest before, and as a result, I looked down at my lap. I felt Niall slide two fingers under my chin, and then, I was looking back into his beautiful blueish-green eyes. "Don't look down, love. You're beautiful." He said, smiling softly. I wrote on my white board: 'You really think so?'

Niall stroked my cheek gently with his hand, sending chills down my spine. "I don't think so, Juliet. I know so." Niall stated. I couldn't help myself: I kissed his cheek, causing him to blush slightly. Then I wrote down: 'Thanks for coming to visit. It really means a lot that you would do this for a fan.'

Niall smiled and took me into his arms, hugging me gently. I smiled to myself as I hugged him back, laying my head on his chest. I felt him rub my back, and a warm, fuzzy feeling ran through my veins. His heart beat was nice and slow, very peaceful to listen to. Was this a dream? Was Niall actually here in my room...holding me like this? Well, if this was a dream, I sure as hell didn't want to wake up...

*Niall's POV*

As I held Juliet in my arms, I realized that she had no one on this Earth. I knew she had lost her family, the poor girl, but she was so sweet and innocent. I honestly felt for her. Somehow, in the short time that I have been with her, she has made her way into my heart. Not only was she beautiful, but she had a genuine heart and a charismatic personality. No, Niall, get a hold of yourself. You just met her. But no matter how hard I try, I'm never going to be able to get her off my mind.

I pulled away from her, almost shuddering at the loss of her warmth. Juliet was smiling up at me, an expression that I could tell that hadn't been used by her in a very long time. "Do you have a cell phone, Juliet?" I asked. She nodded, and handed her iPhone to me. I programmed my number into it, careful not to put the wrong thing in. When I was done, I saved the contact and gave back her phone. Then I handed her my iPhone, and let her program herself into it. She saved the contact and gave it back to me. "Listen, I know you're a huge fan, so the lads and I wanted you to have these." I said, handing her a ticket and backstage pass to our concert tomorrow night. Juliet took them gently into her hands, smiling. "I have to go, but I hope to see you tomorrow." I stated, hugging her one more time and then, I left the room smiling widely, knowing that I did the right thing.
