Remember -Narry Short Story ON HOLD

Chapter 1

Dedicated to SierraFarted because she helped me with this idea a bit. She is also awesome, so you should go follow her! :)

Harry~

“Niall is in the hospital.”

I dropped the phone. I sunk to my knees. I couldn’t hear, see or feel anything. I sat there, and vaguely realized that I was being carried somewhere. I just shut my eyes and let the shock take me over.

***

I could finally hear again, although it was hard to think because all I could think of was Niall is in the hospital.  Maura was crying and called me. It must be really bad if she called me, because she knows how I worry. No. This isn’t happening….

I heard Louis talking to Liam. I can hear him saying “What are we going to do? We can’t let Harry in there. He had a panic attack just hearing that he was in the hospital. If he sees how he is now, he will only get worse.” Louis’s voice was hoarse, as if he was crying recently. I couldn’t believe they would think of keeping me away from him. My mind began swirling with all of the horrible possibilities of what happened to Niall. I suddenly couldn’t take it anymore and blacked out again.

***

When I awoke for the second time, I opened my eyes immediately, deciding I didn’t want to hear anymore conversations that were not for my ears. I looked up and saw fluorescent lights, and I realized I was in the hospital. I looked around, expecting to see Niall in a bed. But to my surprise, it was me in the hospital bed, and Louis and Zayn were sitting in the corner of the room talking quietly, not noticing that I was awake.

“Why am I not with Niall?” I ask harshly, making Zayn and Louis snap their heads towards me. I met Louis’s eyes, so he knew the question was directed mainly towards him. He looked nervous for a second, but then tried to cover it up with a smile, while walking over to my side.

“You need medical attention Harry. You just had two panic attacks within twenty four hours. You just need to relax.” He says smoothly. I wasn’t buying it.

“Let me see Niall, now.” I growled, and Louis backed away a bit.

“Harry, calm-.”

“Now!” I yelled. My heart rate picked up, and I guess that alerted the nurses, because they came rushing in. I felt a prick in my arm before blacking out for the millionth time today.

***

When I awoke this time, I knew better than to let my temper get to me. I looked to my right and saw Liam and Louis sitting in the chairs in my room. Louis was asleep, his head leaning on Liam’s shoulder. I felt bad for yelling at him, but I was just frustrated. No one would let me see my boyfriend.

Liam glanced my way and realized I was awake. I gave him a soft smile, and he turned to wake up Louis. Louis woke up, and immediately blushed when he realized he was sleeping on Liam’s shoulder. He was about to say something, probably asking why Liam woke him up, but his eyes rested on me. He looked nervous, but when I gave him a small smile he returned it.

“Sorry about earlier I….” I trailed off.

“It’s okay. You are stressed out, and aren’t allowed to see Niall. I get it.” Louis said, and that reminded me why he was my best friend. He is always fair, and tries to see things from other people’s point of view.

“Thanks.” I am hesitant to ask, but I need to know.

“Can I see Niall now?”

Liam grimaces.  “Sorry. We aren’t allowed to let you out of here.”

“How long was I here, anyway?” I ask.

“A day and a half.  I was here with you the whole time, and Zayn and Liam switched off between you and Niall.” Louis replies.

Wow. I have been here for a day and a half? I feel like such a wimp. I passed out twice, and had to be knocked out once. I need to stay strong for Niall. If I keep passing out, I will never get out of here.

“Thanks Lou. You can go home. I think I will be fine.”

“Are you sure? I-“

“Yes. Liam will drive you home, right Liam?” I look at Liam.

“Of course.” He says, and I smile.

“Good. Now go get sleep. Hopefully, I will be able to relieve Zayn of his guard by Niall’s bed.”

They hesitated by the door.

“Go! I really am fine.” I tell them, and they eventually leave.

I move my arms and legs before sitting up. I slowly stand up and stretch my legs. Since no nurses came running in, I figured it was okay to leave. I wasn’t in a hospital gown or anything, so I didn’t look out of the ordinary. I made my way to the front desk.

“Hello, may I help you?” the receptionist behind the asked me with a polite smile.

“Yes. I am looking for Niall Horan’s room.”

Her face pulled into a sympathetic look as she looked it up in the computer on the desk. “Room 367 on the third floor.”

My heart sunk. The third floor was for more permanent residents.

I thank the receptionist and head to the elevator. I make it to the third floor and get off. I walk slowly down the halls, suddenly not so eager to see Niall. I am afraid I won’t be able to handle it. I pass door after door until I reach the one that holds Niall. Just as I am about to walk in, the door opens and Maura walks out. As soon as she sees me, she bursts into tears and holds onto me for dear life. She just keeps repeating “Our Niall. Our Niall.” over and over again. We both lean on each other and cry. Finally, we calm down and pull apart.

“Go ahead in honey. I was on my way to the restroom. I will be back soon.” She says shakily. I just nod, and she turns to walk down the hall.

I slowly open the door.

So, this is chapter 1! How do you like it?
