Why me? (a Niall Horan fan fiction)

Chapter 4-Why me?

Chapter 4

I woke up to beeping, white walls and many concerned faces hovering over me. I looked around and the bright light hurt my eyes. I shut them, trying to remember what happened, and trying to block out the pounding in my head and stomach. The people had masks over their mouths and their brows furrowed in concentration. I tried to speak but I just made a raspy choking noise. I felt something cool run through my veins from a pump to my left and I felt sleep drag me under again.

When I woke up again I had a throbbing pain in my left side and in my head, and I was light headed and dizzy. I didn't open my eyes but I heard my sister. She was speaking to me, telling me how much she wanted me to wake up, how she missed me. And then, she started singing. She had the voice of an angel, and she was singing "Torn". My parents didn't let her sing at home. I let her sing the whole song before I stirred. I opened my eyes and found I was in a different room, thankfully this one darker than the last. My sister had tears rolling down her cheeks and she wasn't looking at me. Her hair was all messy and in knots and she wore the same outfit she wore on my birthday. Which reminded me of everything that happened that day, and especially that night.

"Hey honey. How's your back?" I ask as loud as I could and Stephanie whipped her head around. She saw that I was up and she smiled from ear to ear. She gave me a big hug and I hugged her back. I missed her. I wondered where she had been staying for as long as I was here. Wait, how long was I here?

"5 days and 9 hours." Niall said from where he stood in the doorway, reading my mind. I smiled when I saw him standing there. He walked over to me and grinned his large mouth, showing his teeth. I realized something different about them. When did Niall get braces? I guess the people on his TV show didn't like his teeth.

"Hey, um... Allie?" Niall seemed kind of nervous, and I wondered what happened."so, they, um, had to take out one of your kidneys. One of them was punctured by the, uh, knife. The operation was mostly successful, but they found out this morning that one of your veins was cut in the process. You will have to have a few more surgeries to attempt to close it, and you'll have to be in the hospital for a month."

As the news sunk in, he was smiling nervously and shifting his weight on his feet. Stephanie was shocked as well. She looked like she was holding something back, but now was not the time to ask. I drew this all in and had a sudden thought.

"Where are mom and dad?" I asked, outraged that they couldn't even come to see their daughter in the hospital. Now it was Stephanie's turn to spill. She had on the same look as Niall had a few seconds earlier.

"Well, you see, mom came to pick dad up after, you know, the incident, and they were at an intersection when an 18-wheeler ran the red light and t-boned their car. They both died on impact."

Now it was Niall and I's turn to be shocked. Our parents? Dead? What does this mean? My head was swirling, landing on random thoughts. My face is cold. Stephanie has curly hair. I like dogs. I was thinking about how great Niall looked when I blacked out again.

A/N hey guys, I really have nothing to say rite now. I don't think anyone currently reads this, if you do speak now! Haha bye guys :)
