Liam's Point of View

We spent the rest of the day cuddling each other and watching TV until we were bored out of our minds. Louis and Harry came to visit at about 4pm after they did stuff and I don't know what stuff but I hope it was safe. And legal. 

We also finally persuaded Maura to go home for the evening and night to get some proper rest. I told her that I would be with Niall all the time. Also, we still had a few police officers keeping an eye on the door. 

Dinner was served at 5:30pm and Niall rejected the food without hesitation. I had mixed feelings about this. Firstly, I wouldn't blame him. Hospital food is gross. Secondly, he needs to eat and what that Sam person had said about him not eating much is haunting the back of my mind. 

"What if I go to Mc Donalds or something and get some half decent food for you? There's a restaurant a few blocks away from the hospital anyway." I told him, holding his boney hand.

He looked down in his lap. "Lili..." He trailed off. 

"You will die if you don't eat, Ni. Please. Hospital food is horrid but I'm offering you something better." I pleaded. 

"Can't you get ... just... I don't know anymore." He sighed and fell backwards onto the bed from his sitting position. 

"What about something healthier then? A smoothie and some salad?"  I offered. Oh my gosh a smoothie sounded great right now. 

"Okay... don't be long, please? I don't want to be by myself for too long." He said. I smiled at him warmly and stood up. 

"I will be back in half an hour or so. Okay? Put the music channel on, I'm sure the charts are playing." I tell him.

He nodded. "Love you." He said.

"Love you too." I kissed his forehead and let go of his hand before walking out of the room. 

I walked my fastest out of the confusing hospital. I got lost about 5 times to say the least. I tried following the signs but at one point, I ended up at pathology. 

Now I was out the hospital, I needed to find a good smoothie and salad place. In London. London, the capital of fast food restaurants that vary from vegetarian pizzas to kebabs and stuff. 

I walked down to a take away that said Fruits and Juices maybe they sold smoothies. I walked into the orange and white painted building and they did indeed sell smoothies. Ah ha. Luck is on my side.

I brought two strawberry and banana smoothies then asked the lady at the counter where I could find a salad place. Of course, she directed me to a place called Salads and Seeds . It was nice in there. I didn't know what kind of salad Niall wanted but fruit salad will do. They taste nicer in my opinion.

I realized that I had been gone nearly 20 minutes and turned around. It was so hard carrying drinks and salads that cannot be spilled back to the hospital in a busy London rush. 

Just... manic. 

Eventually, I get back to the hospital and take the lifts back up to Niall's room. A police officer at the door saw my struggle and opened the door for me. I entered with a thanks and saw Niall on the bed humming to a song that was on quietly. 

"Who's this?" I asked.

"John Newman." He replied, eyeing the food in my hands. 

"Oh right, here." I handed him a smoothie and a pot of fruit salad then sat next to him.
