Letting Go (Niall Horan AU)

Chapter 52

Octobers POV

..........................

Harry and I sat and waited in the same damn chairs for what seemed like hours, until finally Greg, and Dr. Radcliffe appeared walking down the hallway. Harry glanced at me before we both stood up and I wiped my sweaty hand on my pants.

"Niall will be able to return home in a few days." The doctor says calmly, but not seeming very happy about it.

"Okay, that's good right?" I ask confused towards his tone.

"Yes, but even after that he will need to come back for a few more... check ups." He says, and I grow suspicious.

"Alright then, can we see him?" I question crossing my arms. All I want is to see him awake and healthy.

"Yes you can, but visiting hours end at 8:00." Dr. Radcliffe says to remind us. I nod and look up at Greg, there's a scowl on his face.

When the Doctor leaves Harry speaks up.

"You alright Greg? Niall's gonna be okay right?" He asks hopefully.

Greg frowns even more and sighs.

"Let's hope so."

We both nod and hug him before we make our way to Niall's room. When we open the door he has a tear stained face and a scowl to match Greg's.

I walk over and smooth away the lines on his forehead.

"Everything okay Ni?" I ask concerned.

He shakes his head and pulls a small smile onto his lips.

" 'M fine babe." He whispers.

"Good." I say letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"So I get to get the hell outta here in a few days, I can't fucking wait." He complains pouting. I laugh and quirk an eyebrow at him.

"Really now?" I ask.

"Yes."

I lean down to kiss him on the lips but he turns his head last second and my lips crash into his cheek.

"Sorry I just have terrible breath at the moment." He says quickly avoiding my gaze. Why the hell is he acting so strange? Harry finally walks over and clears his throat, to let his presence be known.

"So the Doctor said you'd have to come back for a few more check ups after you're released, what's that all about?" Harry questions.

"Eh.. Just the usual probably." Niall replies as he looks at his hands instead of Harry.

"Mm Kay." Harry says.

"Erm, guys I'm pretty tired so if could, um, leave.." Niall's asks scratching his neck.

"Oh,oh, of course I'm sorry. We can go right now. We'll be back tomorrow I promise. I love you Niall." I stutter.

He smiles some what sadly and nods.

"I love you too Tober. And thank you Harry." Niall says as we walk towards the door.

"No problem, get better." Harry smiles and closes the door behind us.

Sorry it was really short, but I'm tired and I decided us update because I haven't in forever. Also this is unedited sorry. There's only maybe 3 chapter left /: I'm sad it's ending because it's my first and most successful fan fiction but I also have lost my interest in this story, and wanna end it so I can focus more on my others. Honestly I don't like this story much hah but I'm glad a few people do. Thank you to anyone who's ever commented and voted, it means the world. - tris
