The First Chance (Niall and twin Payne's Liam and Leeroy

Missing Niall

A/N This chapter goes back to when Niall is in his coma. It's about two months into it. So this take solace right around the same time as the last chapter.

Liam's POV

It's been two months already and Niall still hasn't woken up. I'm starting to lose hope. Lee is the one having to be strong for the both of us. We are both broken especially since we are the ones who found him behind the dumpster. We go almost every day to the hospital to see if there's any change. Seeing him laying so still, battered and bruised woke something up in both Lee and I. We realized that what we had been feeling about him was a true and genuine love. The pain and hurt that we felt when we found out that Zayn was just playing us seems to have vanished the day that Niall came to Wolverhampton.

I was laying on my bed with Lee's head on my stomach when I sit up suddenly. I realized that I knew how I felt about Niall but I really need to talk it over with Lee. He jolted up from my sudden movement and we just stare at each other for a moment. He then leans in and kisses me trying to go father before I stop him. "Lee, we need to talk. How do you really feel about Niall?" I ask wanting to be on the same page as my brother. "How do I feel about Niall?!? I wanted to spend more time with him and get to know him before asking him to be ours." Lee responds. I smile and kiss him softly, happy to know we are on the same page after all. All we have to wait for is Niall to wake up and hope that he remembers everything that happened. The doctors told us that he might have some amnesia. It depends on how long he is in the coma for what the state of his mind is going to be like.

We are sitting in Niall's room and I'm holding his hand and I realize that I miss him so much. I miss his laugh, his smile, his beautiful icy blue eyes. I start crying because I realize that we could have prevented this from happening. We knew that day when we were at the pool that something was wrong. I feel Lee's arms around me as I think he realizes as well that this all could have been prevented. I feel like its my fault that this happened. I can tell that other people came into the room but no one was saying anything. I also knew that Lee was crying with us. I didn't know who it was until I hear ,"Li, Roy it's not your fault. Niall's gone through a lot in his life. If he remembers anything he'll tell you in his time." Lou's soft voice comes through. I look up and give a very weak and watery smile. I look back down at Niall and whisper, "I love you Niall, please wake up soon."

Leeroy's POV

I feel myself breaking down on the inside. All the pressure and I was the one who found Niall all still and broken is tearing me apart. I miss Niall so much. We did get close that day at the pool and now he's laying here broken. I love him and I know I do and it's not the type of love that Li adn I had for Zayn. It's much more pure and innocent. Ni and I got to talking and he told me part of his story. How he was hurt by his former so called friends and what do they do They hurt him physically to the point where he could die and they could be in prison for life. I have too many emotions going on right now.

I decided to work on my dance routines at home in our practice room so that I can keep my body limber and in shape. There is a competition coming up and I'm hoping that Niall wakes up before it comes so that he can come to it. My body goes through the motions but my mind is not there. I know physically Niall has healed for the most part but it's inside him that's wrong. He doesn't know that he's ok. He's safe, he doesn't need to hide inside himself anymore. Li and I will protect him and love him fiercely.
