Kidnapped

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight-

I don't know how long it's been since that day when Niall cried because of me. The boys still visit me. But never Niall.

"Hey, Katie." I heard Harry say. "Zayn, Liam, Lou and I are here to see you." I could tell that he was trying hard not to cry. "Niall is still afraid to see you, but he's here, waiting outside the window."

I hate to see the boys, well hear, them like this. I could hear the television in he background, "Another show has been cancelled my One Direction management." The reporter said then I heard the management start talking. "Ever since Katie was shot the boys go see her every day. At the same time too. Niall, well, Niall is still in shock and upset. Once we found out that it was Niall who should have been shot, he obviously cried, but not as much as when he heard that Katie was in a coma." It cut off.

The boys were still talking to me, but I was concentrating on the television.

"Is Niall Horan in love with this girl? Stay tuned to find out at 7."

I went back to the boys, "... Jenny misses you. She always complains that she had no one to talk to." Harry slightly laughed, "And Liam's turtle had babies. He named one after you."

"We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet." Li said, with a small chuckle. The boys always tell me about their days because the doctor told them that I could hear, and probably remember, everything. And don't get me wrong, it helps me when the boys talk to me. I'm finally breathing on my own, and I can move some muscles, but not at a noticeable rate.

"So if it's a girl it will be called Katie and if it's a boy it will be Kato, like from the Hunger Games, but with a K." Harry said.

I heard a soft knock and the Irish accent of the boy I was, somehow, in love with. "Lads? Can I join you?" He asked in a shaky voice.

"Yes, c'mon over." Harry said. I heard his footsteps come closer.

"Niall, you should tell Kat what you did today." Zayn said. I guess I have a nickname now. In my mind I smiled, but probably not physically.

"Well.. I finally went out of my room and talked to some fans." He said slowly and in a soft voice.

"I took him outside while he was just in his pajama pants and his red polo." Lou said with a laugh.

I heard Niall laugh, "Yeah, I probably looked like a train wreck too." I could tell he was becoming more comfortable.

"Alright, boys." I heard my nurse,  Nikola, say. She talks to me and helps me exercise my muscles too. She tells me that I'm making a good recovery and that my head is healing just like it should and that the hair might not grow back but it's easy to cover up. "Visiting hours are over."

The boys whined, "Two more minutes?" Harry asked.

She laughed, "Two more." I heard her walk away and the boys laughed.

"Well bye my Kitty-Cat." Harry said kissing my cheek.

"Bye, darling." Zayn said, also kissing my cheek.

"Bye, Kate." Lou and Li said at the same time, planting a kiss on both my cheeks.

"Would you like to say bye, Niall?" Harry asked.

"I'm afraid." He said.

"We all did, Nialler. She's better. She won't freak." Li said.

Niall slowly walked up to me. "Bye, love." He said and kissed my forehead.

I heard what sounded like the boys all hug Niall and walk out.

Nikola walked back in, "They're sweet." She said. I thought, visiting hours end at 7. "Should I leave the TV on? Squeeze my hand if I should." She took my hand in hers and I gave it, what I hoped, would be a squeeze.

"Alright, I will." She said. She walked out, not before turning the TV up just a tad.

"Welcome back. I'm Cindy Alick. Earlier today we talked about One Direction and how their new 'family member' was shot. Niall is the one who seems to be the most upset. As we told you earlier, we know if he loves her of not." They stopped and then I heard another voice.

"So. Niall. Are you upest?" The guy asked.

"Well, yeah. I'm very upset." He said. Just as he said that my eyes fluttered open. I could see the TV. Niall was wearing his famous red polo. His eyes were puffy and red.

"Now, the question America's been waiting to hear... Do you love her?"

"Yes. I do. I have for about a month now, since the day I first heard her sing." He said, his eyes bright for once.

"So, kinda like a love-at-first-sight kinda thing right?" The interviewer asked.

Niall laughed, "Yeah. I guess so."

"We thank you Niall for joining us tonight." He said.

"It's my pleasure." He said shaking the guys hand, standing up.

"And there you heard it first from us. Niall Horan is in love!"

The TV shut off and I turned my head to the side where Nikola stood. "You're awake? And crying?"

I slowly moved my arm and my hand touched my wet cheeks. "I-I guess I am." I slurred.

"Do you want me to call the boys?" She smiled. I nodded and she did.

Man, I couldn't wait to see them..
