Just a Casual Get Together

**Chapter 14**

 "Are you happy to be going home today Niall?" The nurse Megan asked as she pushed him down the hall and out the entrance doors.

Niall smiled, "Yeah, I'm super excited, but guys, c'mon. I can walk. I'm not paralyzed." he complained as he got pushed in his wheelchair.

A smile spread upon my lips, "Don't complain. You're getting five star treatment right now." I said and I heard him huff under his breath.

"We're just so happy that you're coming home." my mom said, patting Niall's shoulder. 

When we approached the car, Megan stopped pushing to let Niall stand from the wheelchair. He pushed himself out of the chair with ease, "See, I can walk perfectly fine." he said before climbing in and shutting the door.

Megan grabbed a hold of the wheelchair bars once more, "Have a safe drive home, and I'll see you tomorrow Dr. Turner." she said before turning to leave, waving goodbye to us.

"Thank you! See you tomorrow, Megan." my mom called back, and we hopped in the car. 

Three clicks could be heard, followed by an engine coming to life, "Where to now?" I asked as we drove away from the hospital.

My mom looked over me then back to the road, "Well, since we're having more guests, I figured we could do a little snack shopping before we went home."

"What other guests?" Niall piped in, sounding a little confused.

I really wanted to leave him in suspense, "You'll see when they get here later."

"Let me take a wild guess," he said and paused for a moment, pretending to think really hard, "Harry, Analeigh, and Zayn." he guessed. Even though he was right, I still want to keep him guessing.

"Even better." I teased. 

"Who's even better than that?" he asked, still confused.

I laughed, "You will see I told you." I said. I'm excited for this get together. I just really hope everything goes well.

Niall sighed to himself as he came down from the guest room, "I don't like your brother's clothes."

I shrugged, "It's all we have right now for you. Besides you look good in them." I said as I straightened out his shirt, "Tomorrow we'll go over to your house and gather some clothes for you." 

"Sounds good. So how long will I be staying here?" he asked as we wandered our way into the kitchen.

"Until we don't want you anymore." I teased.

"Gee, thanks." he huffed, rolling his eyes playfully at me.

I smiled at him, "We wouldn't get tired of having you here." I said and hugged him around his waist. Niall laughed and put his arm around my shoulders. I pulled out of the hug and looked up at him, "To be honest though, maybe this weekend my mom will let you go home."

Niall hopped up onto the counter, picked an orange out of the fruit basket right next to him, and tossed the fruit back and fourth between his hands, "How can you live in that big house all by yourself?"

Niall shrugged, still tossing the orange, "I don't know. I'm just used to it I guess."

"Have you talked to your parents lately?" I asked, pulling a bag of pretzels and nutella out of the pantry.

"Yeah, my mom called yesterday to see how I was doing. I didn't tell her about what happened though." I said. I opened the bag of pretzels and the jar of nutella and Niall dug right in, "You are the world's greatest best friend."
