Niall was in pain, once again. The surgery was moved forward, so he was currently laid in a hospital bed with Louis and Harry by his side. He had to wait until it really started, and he knew that it would be the second toughest one to go through out of the many.

The one after that would be nearly a year later, and that would be the toughest to go through, emotionally, because it would be his last surgery. After the many he had to go through, facing that last one results into him being the male he's always wanted to be.

Nothing would need to be done afterwards, and nobody could stop him from changing, even shaping his future into what he whats it to be. It'll up up to him to make his own choices, fight his own battles, and live as a full grown male in the big, wide world.

It brought a smile to his face as he laid down in his bed, the continuous beeping from the machine keeping him in a trance.

Louis and Harry decided not to bother him though, but they still kept an eye out if anything were to happen. They needed him to be safe and strong just for a little longer, because they both had a gut feeling that the plan was working.

Liam still hadn't left his room, but he did text Josh a short message that got them thinking a little more positively than before. It made them think that Niall would have his friend back, the boy who has constantly been in his thoughts for the past few weeks.

|From Liam / 10:54pm|

I've been a bad friend to everyone, but I'm still figuring things out. Thanks for the help though, Josh. Its broadened my train of thought, and I couldn't feel more relaxed.

Niall still hadn't seen the text, but his friends figured that it would be good if he didn't, because he could possibly get his hopes up and not have Liam in the next few days. Patience was their main priority, so dodging that could result into something troubling.

The doctor came in moments after Niall went to the bathroom, wearing gentle smiles before getting prepared for the operation that would take a good chunk of time and effort.

Louis and Harry were asked to leave the room, which they did with pleasure, but were then greeted with Zayn, Josh and Liam's sisters waiting in the other room. They weren't there before, so maybe something was going on with the situation at hand.

Josh stood up in front of the couple, a gentle smile etched across his face as he showed the texts he received from Liam, all of them seeming so normal at first. But as he scrolled down, the pair couldn't help but smile either, feeling a wash of relief drench their bodies.

Meanwhile, Nick had just gotten finished with the work load for the day, flicking through the papers that were written on throughout the day. Multiple sighs had escaped past his thin lips, his jaw clenching in annoyance as he couldn't find what he was looking for.

He had taken a short job offering from his friend Shawn, who was a little younger than him, but a very hardworking male nonetheless, and it was good pay for such an easy job. But Nick was having difficulties with finding the smallest things, making his duties more time consuming than necessary.

Shawn was one of the cutest friends he's met though, being a young male, fit and all around sweet in every aspect. He was tall enough for Nick to not feel awkward, sweet enough to make Nick all fuzzy inside, and generous enough to have given such an important job.
