Same Mistakes (sequel to Kidnapped By One Direction)

Chapter 11

Allison's POV

When the stitches start Niall passes out. There's quite a bit of blood and even after the wound has been cleaned and sealed it's bright red and terrifying to look at. A bandage is put over it and I'm relieved it's no longer in sight.

"I'm going to give him some Nubain, it should relieve most of the pain. He may be a bit distant when he wakes up though" He grabs Niall's arm and inserts the small needle into his vein, the liquid is pushed into his arm and the doctor pulls the needle out before putting a bandage over the injection spot.

The doctor writes out detailed instructions on how the wound has to be cleaned and how to take care of Niall. He tells me that he'll be back the next day with crutches if Niall wants them and the bill, that's all I'm told before he leaves me alone with Niall.

I don't want to wake him but I find myself getting hungry and I know Niall hasn't eaten in quite awhile. I remove my hand from his and silently make my way to the kitchen.

Looking in his fridge, I realize he doesn't seem to have a whole lot of fresh food making me result to apple slices and a piece of toast. It seems more like breakfast food but it works. I bring another glass of water to the living room for Niall in case he wakes up and I take a seat in the nest chair in the corner close enough that I can still watch Niall and make sure his breathing stays regular.

I eat my meal slowly, scrolling through my phone to lessen my anxious thoughts. I don't get this nervous often but being left with Niall to take care of him with a bad injury is definitely making me anxious. When I finish my food I get up and bring my plate into the kitchen, I think about doing dishes but I'd rather make sure Niall wakes up okay.

"Ally?" I hear Niall call out and I walk quickly back to the living room.

"I'm right here" I take a set across from him on the couch. He rubs his eyes and looks down at the stitches and back at me.

"The doctor said he'd bring you crutches tomorrow to get around easier if you want them."

"Alright, I don't think they'll actually help much but I'll get them in case they do." Niall doesn't seem nearly as distant as I was expecting him to be after the injection.

"How are you feeling? Do you want me to find you something to eat?" I ask.

"I think I need some pain meds and something to eat would be amazing if you don't mind."

"I can't actually let you take anything for the pain, he already gave you as much as he comfortably could. Do you know what you want to eat though?"

"Well, it didn't seem to work very well. As for food, there's leftover pizza somewhere in the fridge." With that, I get up and head for the kitchen to get the pizza from the fridge. Luckily I spotted it earlier and it's easy to find. When I get back to the living room Niall gratefully takes the pizza box from me, I know he must be starving so I take a seat on the couch and scroll through my phone again while I wait for him to finish.

"Thank you" Niall paused his eating to talk.

"For what?" I ask.

"Everything, you threw away your plans to come and get me and even though I'm okay now, you've stayed and helped me."

"I wanted to make sure you're okay"

"After everything I've put you through I don't deserve you being so kind to me. I've been horrible to you for years and now I've thrown you into my own problems. I'm so sorry." Niall puts his head in his hands and my mouth dries and I choose my next words carefully.

"It may not be right but it's in the past. Right now you need to just focus on getting better"

"I want to be good for you, but I can't. I've tried so damn much and I fail every time. You should even let me near you, I'm a damn monster."
