Chapter 20

~ Nina ~
We've spent a lot of hours at the hospital but we still haven't heard anything about Niall.
The guys have all comforted me a little bit and I'm extremely grateful for that.
They truly all care about me.
A little while later, a doctor came over to us that we had talked to before, and I instantly perked up.
"Hello, everyone. I would like to inform you that Niall is doing just fine. He's been asleep since we've fixed him up, but he should be okay. Feel free to visit him but just keep it on the down low. He's very weak." Dr. Mitchell told us.
He's okay!
Niall's okay!
I grinned and almost let a few tears slip from my happiness.
"He's in room 217." Dr. Mitchell added.
He left and I turned to Louis.
"We have to go see him. I know he said he was asleep but I just need to see him, please." I begged.
"Nina, maybe we should let him rest." Louis said.
"No! Please, Dr. Mitchell said it was fine if we saw him anyways. I just need to see him, please."
I pulled out my begging face that makes everyone melt so I get what I want.
"It's not gonna work." He said.
I kept the face going and Harry turned away.
It always worked on him.
"Nina." Louis warned.
Liam and Zayn turned away, not being able to take it anymore.
"Fine! Okay, we can go see Niall!" He gave in.
"Yay! Thank you!" I grinned and hugged him.
"Just be quiet and don't wake him." He added.
I was already halfway to the room by the time I heard the guys getting up.
I just can't wait to see him and tell him how much I love him.
After all, he means everything to me.
When I finally got to his room, I waited until the other guys were with me so we walked in together.
"Don't talk loud and don't touch him either. We don't want to wake him." Louis said.
Quietly, I opened the door and saw Niall laying in the hospital bed.
He looked so peaceful, yet so in pain at the same time.
It was evident from the cast that his wrist was broken.
He still looked as handsome as ever though.
That's the thing about our relationship.
We love each other unconditionally and think of each as perfect no matter what state we're in.
I walked over next to him and saw his pain filled face.
His eyes were squeezed tightly closed and his lips were pursed in a straight line.
I couldn't help but want to feel all the pain for him.
He's hurt too much because of me.
"Oh, Niall honey." I whispered, running my fingertips over his chest lightly.
"Nina!" Louis warned me in a hushed voice.
I ignored him, I needed Niall.
I leaned down and softly pressed my lips to his forehead.
"I love you." I whispered.
I backed away from Niall before I woke him up because I would feel bad if I did.
He really did need his rest, I just also really needed to see him.
The guys didn't go over to Niall, they didn't want to wake him.
You know what I've realized, Niall and I have been in the hospital way too many times.
And it's not even for like minor things; it's for major things.
A little while later, I was about to go to sleep for a little, after the guys convinced me to.
They really want me to go home and get some rest but I just can't leave Niall.
So, I took a little nap, hoping to see Niall awake when I was.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"I'm alright. Broken wrist and a few cracked ribs is all. I'll recover."
"Well, we're glad you're awake and alive." I heard Louis say.
"It's good to be." I heard my prince chuckle.
Wait a second.
If I can hear Niall talking, that means he's awake.
I forced myself to open my eyes and stretched, yawning, causing Louis to notice me being awake.
He smiled and moved his hand in a "come here" motion so I obeyed him.
I grinned myself, I finally get to tell Niall I love him now and I get to hear and back from him.
Harry moved aside, letting me stand next to Niall.
"I am so sorry." I apologized, grabbing onto his hand. "That never should've happened to you."
Niall just looked at me, no emotion showing whatsoever.
Oh my god he hates me now.
Or maybe he's just continuing on with our argument.
"Erm, I'm sorry, love. But do I know you?" Niall said.
"What do you mean, Niall? Of course you do, I'm your wife." I said, confused as to why he was asking that question.
Maybe he's just fooling around with me and he'll start laughing in a second and make fun of me because I seemed confused.
But he didn't start laughing.
He had a confused look on his face as well.
"That can't be, I don't have a wife, I'm not married." Niall said.
I felt this weird feeling in my chest, like it was getting tight.
"Haha, Niall, funny joke." I laughed lightly, although it made my chest get tighter when no one else started to laugh.
Niall gave all the boys a confused look and that's when I realized it.
He really doesn't know who I am.
"You really don't know who I am, do you?" I asked, tears crowding in my eyes.
"I'm sorry, love. I don't." He apologized.
Louis placed a hand on my back, trying to comfort me.
It wasn't going to work.
"Oh wait!" Niall said. "You're the songwriter for our band. I can't believe I forgot you, Nina."
I covered my mouth with my hand, trying to muffle the sobs that would slowly be escaping.
He only remembers me as the songwriter of his band.
The tears fell quickly down my face, me not being able to stop them.
"Nina-"
"I just- excuse me." I cried and walked out the door, letting go of Niall's hand.
I slid down the wall next to the door and pulled my knees up to my chest.
He doesn't remember me as his wife.
Only by the songwriter.
All of our memories, gone.
I sobbed hard, not caring if anyone saw.
The door to Niall's room opened and Liam walked out.
He sat on the right side of me, reaching out to grab my hand.
"He doesn't know who I am. He doesn't remember I'm his wife. He only remembers me as the stupid songwriter." I cried.
"Oh, baby girl."
Liam wrapped his arms around me and I cried harder.
I love Liam and all but knowing that his arms aren't Niall's kills me.
"What do I do now? My life was finally going the right way. Now my husband doesn't even remember me."
"It's okay, you're going to get through this." Liam said.
"Stop saying that! You all say I'm going to get through it but I know deep down inside that I can't get through this one!" I yelled out in pure frustration and anger.
"Shhh, nurses are calling in the doctor to see what he can do." Liam said in a calm voice.
"How could he have forgotten me, Liam? After everything we've been through, he doesn't know that I'm his wife. He said he loved me and knew very well who I was before he came to the hospital. He has to know." I cried.
"We're going to figure this out, babe. We're going to get Niall back." He said.
"Does he remember you guys? What else did he forget about?" I asked.
"He remembers us. As of right now, he remembers everything else too." He said slowly, not wanting to be the one to tell me.
"He remembers everything and everyone except me and the moments we've had together, right?"
Liam sighed before lightly nodding his head.
"I'm going to see what's going on. I'll be back." He said.
He started to get up until I grabbed onto his arms, pulling him back down.
"No, please! Stay with me. I can't lose anyone else."
He had the most sincerely sad look on his face.
"It's okay, you haven't lost anyone yet. He's still there. Don't you worry, Nina. It's all going to get better." He whispered, kissing the top of my head and pulling me close to him.
Again, I felt like dying because I knew that it was Liam's body that was comforting me, not my prince's.

<><><><><><><><><><>

Oh snap! Plot twist! So now Niall doesn't remember Nina but he remembers the boys. What's gonna happen? I know, but you don't ;)
