The Unluck of the Irish

Part 4: 24 Hours

Liam was holding me in the chair trying to keep me calm. We had been waiting hours to hear something for the doctor and I was Beyond worried. After, waiting so long to hear some news I saw the doctor approach us.

"Are you hear for Niall Horan?"

"Yes!" We all said in unison.

"He's stable for now but that could change. He's in critical condition. We'll be keeping him here for several weeks and see how he's improved."

"C-Can we see him..?" I asked shakily.

"Well, he's not awake yet but I don't see why not. Follow me.."

We all followed him until we got to Niall's room. When I walked in, I immediately burst into tears seeing the state he was in right in front of me. He was so much more pale than usual.. He was covered in several bandages and hooked up to a machine.. I couldn't stand the sight of it. I walked over to the chair next to him and held his hand.

"God, Nialler..." I sobbed.

I then heard a groan escape his lips and I looked up to see his blue eyes opening.

"Niall? Baby?"

"L-Laura... Hi.." He cracked me a small but weak smile.

"Hi.. How do you feel?"

"Like I was just in a car wreck..." He gave a slight giggle then winced from pain. I smiled a little, loving how he was taking this with humor.

"Baby, what happened..?"

"Well, I was on my way home when I got a phone call.. I looked and it was Haz calling.. We were in the middle of a conversation and didn't notice some idiot fell asleep on the wheel. He completely invaded my lane and hit me head on..."

I looked over at Harry and he was still crying his eyes out.

"I-It was my fault! I shouldn't have called while you were driving!!" He yelled. I felt bad. He was blaming himself when really it wasn't his fault at all.

"No, Harry. It wasn't your fault.. It was an accident.." I said trying to calm him down, but he burst into tears even more. I looked at Niall and walked over to Harry hugging him to reassure him everything was okay. After his sobs calmed down a little I walked back to Niall. He had a scratch on the side of his cheek that I gave a quick kiss to. He gave me a smile, took my hand, and kissed it.

"I love you, Princess.."

"I love you too, Nialler.."

Niall looked okay, but the doctors said that could all change within the next 24 hours... I just pray to God it doesn't..
