Live For Love // Niall Horan

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

~Ella White~

I sat on the hard plastic seats in the waiting room of the hospital. A hospital can both hold the saddest moments in your life and the happiest. It sees both death and birth; at the same time an old man is dying a new baby is being born.

I myself was having problems trying to hold myself together; since the moment Alex was admitted into the hospital the doctors had her in the surgery room under intensive care. They wouldn't allow me to go see her and neither would they tell me how she was doing. Apparently they needed to speak with a family member but her parents are unreachable at the moment. I called David and he said he would be there as soon as possible. Niall is outside the hospital having a mental break down. The boys are outside with him and trying to calm him down.

Everything seemed like a horrible nightmare. I kept closing my eyes hoping when I reopened them I would be back at the FBI headquarters with Dave and Alex. It never happened though; I'd open my eyes to see the saddened faces of some people across me.

"No...No, not Alex." I heard a soft voice crying from the hallways.

I looked up with curiosity as I got up off the hard chair; slowly I crept over to the doorway of the waiting room and peaked down the hall. David Kinley, Alex's brother. Without thinking, I ran over and jumped into his arms. He, of course returned the embrace.  

"How is she?" David asked.

"I don't know. They won't talk to me. They said, and I quote, 'I will only speak to a family member.'" I said.

I sat back down on the hard chair with David next to me when Niall and the lads walked into the waiting room. They gave me a small smile and I just looked down. I guess David understood from my expression that those were the boys we were hired to protect.

I was lost in my own thoughts when a tall dark haired doctor walked into the waiting room. He had been one of the many doctors that had been going in and out of Alex's room since she got here.

"David Kinley?" He called out while looking around the room. David jumped out to his feet while the boys looked up immediately.

"Is it Alex? How is she? Please, tell me she's alright?" He began to ramble as I quietly raced over to him.

He cleared his throat before motioning towards the hallways with his head. David and I followed him out into the hallways.

"She lost a lot of blood." He began; instantly the ears began to fall.

"But she's okay, right?" David managed to yell out.

"For now. We're lucky the bullet missed all major organs. The bullet pierced right through the side of her stomach and came out at her side. It was only a flesh wound."

I wasn't exactly sure what the doctor was saying. Did he mean that she was alright? She lost a lot of blood; what did that mean?

"At the moment she is unconscious. Due to loss of blood, her body went into shock. We've done everything we could but we're not sure whether she'd wake up."

"What!? What do you mean?" I cried.

"Her body reached a high level of shock. It prevented her cells from getting enough oxygen. Her body has gone into a coma. We just have to wait now. I'm sorry we can't do anything now." The doctor said quietly, "but you may go visit her."

"A...Coma? But when will she wake up?" David asked.

"It's hard to say, it could be days, weeks, months... We can't promise you anything."

"I'm sorry." He said before slowly disappearing down the hallway.

I stared at the empty spot where the doctor once stood; it felt as if he had just clawed his hand into my chest and ripped my heart out. I didn't even notice the mass amount of tears flooding my face. David excused himself as he was going to call his parents. You could make out from his expression that he was devastated, but he had to stay strong.

I walked into the waiting room and sat down on the hard chair. I kept wiping my tears until Niall was next to me.

He asked me and I told him everything what the doctor had told us. He was having a mental breakdown. I didn't give them much attention. They didn't even believe us in the first place. Why are they even here?

I was just thinking about Alex.

Alex had to wake up... she had too.
