Stealer || Niall Horan

Chapter 21

Niall's Point Of View

She's been asleep for about a week now. After the doctors rushed in that day she finally became stabilized again. I almost lost her and the thought of not having her with me pained me.

I've came here everyday since and haven't been able to sleep much, I've begun to get bags under my eyes. I just sit next to her, talking to her and watching her as she sleeps.

She'll wake up soon, I know it.

"Mate, want me to take over?" I hear someone say by the door. I look over and see Liam. He's been waiting with me for two days now and the other boys have come to visit but haven't stayed.

"Yeah, sure. I'm planning on something big for when she wakes up. I need to go buy something. I want to make her happy for the rest of her life." I say walking out the room and letting Liam in.

Liam's Point Of View

Make her happy for the rest of her life.

What did that mean? Is he gonna propose to her? If he is then I have to do this today. I have to tell her everything.

I sit down on the seat next to the bed and watch. I wait for her to wake up and I hope that it's soon. I hope that I have the time to change her mind.

~Minutes Later~

"N-Niall?" She stutters as I see a slight movement of her eyes.

"No, it's Liam." I say smiling slightly as I watch her.

"Oh, hi Li." She says while rubbing her eyes and looking at me. God she's beautiful even in her darkest days. I really do hope this works out.

"Where's Niall?" She asks almost immediately after looking around the room and not spotting him.

"He went to get something." I say and she nods as a smile spreads across her face.

"Alex I need to talk to you about something serious." I say now getting up and pacing back and forth, her eyes never leaving me.

"Yeah? What is it?" She asks slowly pushing herself up.

"I-" Breathe Liam breathe! I can do this.

"I like you Alex, a lot." I start.

"Liam I-" I cut her off trying to just get over with it.

"I know I know, you have Niall but think about it. If he was good for you, you wouldn't want to commit suicide. You would be happy but you're not, he's not good enough for you Alex open your eyes. I'm better, I can make you happy. I can give you the best life. I can love you better than Niall." I continue pacing even faster now trying to just let the words flow out.

"Liam I d-" I cut her off again.

"I can see it Alex, he isn't making you happy. He's make you miserable. I love you. Yes! I love you! So leave Niall and come with me. Forget about him. He doe-" I say starting to get closer to her.

"LIAM! No! I love Niall, not you! You're a really good friend but that's it! So stop it! He's perfect, he makes me happy!" She raises her voice at me and I can hear in her voice how she's about to cry.

"I can-" I start but she doesn't let me finish.

"No Liam, I don't want to hear it. I've heard enough!" She says moving away from me.

"Alex, please think about it." I plead as if she's gonna do it.

"I don't need to think about anything, I already said what I felt and thought. You can't just drop all of this on me. Not after everything that has happened." She says as I now move away and my vision begins to get blurry.

"But I love you." I say as I feel a tear fall down my cheek.

"No you don't Liam, you barely know me. Find someone else not me." She says her eyes getting glossy.

"Please Liam don't cry." She says as more tears start to leave my eyes.

"I won't allow this!" I say bringing my hands to my face.

"Get out Liam. I can't deal with this right now." She says pointing to the door.

"No I wo-" I say getting closer to her, wanting to hold her.

"Get out!" She yells at me making my eyes widen and I listen, I get out and walk outside leaving her alone.

Alex's Point Of View

I can't believe that just happened. I want to be dead, I want to end it. I thought that sending that video to Niall would give me enough time to end my life. I love Niall I do but this hate is killing me and now Liam.

"Hey Alex." I hear a voice say. Louis.

"Louis!" I say in excitement, I haven't seen him in like forever, or Harry which is weird because I always hung out with the two.

"I'm here too." I hear Harry say and I'm honestly so happy to have them here after the Liam incident.

"I missed you guys, a lot." I say now getting sad. Its been months since I last saw them and I honestly needed their company right now.

"We missed you too!" They say getting closer and opening their arms to hug me, both of them.

"Okay one at a time." I say while getting squished in between these two love birds.

They both chuckle and then release me. I smile politely but then my smile fades when Niall comes in with Liam by his side. They seemed to have been, laughing?

I start to get this feeling in my gut, as if something just isn't right. It's probably nothing.

"Alex! You're awake!" Niall says rushing towards me as he sees me. He pulls me into a hug and I start to feel happy again. We don't break apart until the boys start to clear their throats. Niall let's go of me while bringing my face to meet with his. He wipes away the hair covering my face and plants a soft kiss on my lips.

"Don't try that again, please." He says as he leans his head on mine. I honestly can't promise anything. I don't know if I'll want to do it again, but at least I know it won't be anytime soon.

This was all I needed. Him.

"Alex I don't want you to feel like you're alone, like you have no one to talk to. I'm here love, I love you." He says as my vision starts to get blurry.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you Alex, I can't fucking wait for the day we have our own children or just dogs. I can't wait to marry you and for us to live together. I just can't wait to wake up next to you every morning. I love you, I love you so fucking much!" He says now slowly getting up and placing one of his hands on his back pocket.

"So this is why I ask you now, Will you marry me?" My eyes widen and tears slip out as I see Niall kneeling in front of me with a little box with a bow and a ring.

I cover my mouth and try to think of what to say. I look around the room and my eyes lay on Liam, he seems sad. But then I look at Louis and Harry, they're happy. I'm happy.

I love Niall. I un-cover my mouth and say...

"Yes."
