Chapter 24

 The boys finally come trudging into the room patting their stomachs.

“Considering that was hospital food, it was actually alright.” Sighs Harry, sitting down in his claimed chair next to me. He glances around the room. “Where’s Niall?” He asks. The rest of the boys look around the room at the mention of his name.

“He went in.” I reply.

“For his-“ Harry starts.

“Yeah.” I reply. Liam, Zayn and Louis all turn to look at us with puppy dog eyes.

“For his what?” Asks Liam.

“Surgery.” Bursts Zayn. We all turn to stare at him.

“How did you know?” I ask him.

“I found out, but he told me not to tell anyone.”

“How’d you find out?” Asks Louis.

“Caught him sneaking off when we got here.”

“Well we have to go see him!” Says Louis worriedly.

“I think we should, he has nobody else here for him.” Says Liam. Harry jogs out the door before I can ask him what he’s doing and is back five seconds later with a wheelchair. He helps me into it and we take off down the hall. Carefully avoiding any doctors in case I’m not supposed to be out of bed, we make our way down the hall and into a waiting area in the surgical unit. The room is thick with the smell of air freshener and smells  very fake. Over in the corner there is a hunched blonde figure with a very bloody hand. I point and Harry wheels me over. He sits down in the seat next to him. Niall doesn’t look up. He clears his throat. Niall doesn’t look up. He starts to hum What Makes You Beautful. Niall looks up.

“I’m sorry guys.” He huffs as soon as he lays eyes on us. “I didn’t want any of the attention taken away from Callie. Sorry I won’t be at your surgery by the way Cal.” He says.

“Really Niall?” Louis says.

“I understand Niall but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t tell us this sort of thing.”

“What are they gonna do anyway?” Liam asks curiously.

“Break my hand.” He replies. I hear a gasp as Niall faces the floor again. A nurse walks over.

“The doctor is ready for you, Mr. Horan.” She says quietly. There is a chorus of ‘good luck’s and ‘see you soon buddy’s and we go quit as he disappears behind the corner. Another nurse walks up.

“Niall just left.” Says Harry looking up. She looks confused.

“I’m here for Ms. Edwards.” She says. I had completely forgotten why I was here, being consumed with Niall’s secret. “So I’m just gonna run over what we’ll be doing.” She says. “ Simply, we would just go in and retrieve the wood. But you have a problem. A very important nerve that runs up your leg is in the way of where we need to make the incision. I don’t know if anybody has tested you yet.”

“I don’t think so.” I say warily. She bends down and starts to scan my leg carefully. She then pushes on a little part of it with her finger. I brace myself for the pain, but it never comes. I look down to see if she’s even touching my leg yet. She’s pressing it hard so it becomes white. “I can’t feel it.” I say. She sighs.

“I’m afraid to say that I have some bad news for you then.”

“What?” Asks Harry before I can even make a sound.

“Well I’m sorry to sat, but you’ll never be able to feel the left side of that small part of your leg again.”
