The Ride Of My Life - Book 3

Chapter 14

Hey everyone! This story is a bit of mess… has been lately so I’m putting it back on track returning to Niall’s POV. I hope you guys like this and leave your beautiful feedback below xx

“Alright, you ready to stand up?” Doctor Riley asks as he bites his lip, the clipboard in his hands. “Y-Yeah,” I breathe as I hoist myself up using the handle above my bed. I look over to Harry who comes over quickly and grabs onto my hand.

I wince lightly as I sit down on the edge of the bed, looking down to the floor. I haven’t walked the entire time I’ve been here and now, I am. I was coming along great and I’m more than happy. I found out exactly a day ago that I was going to be alright and I haven’t felt better.

Pressing my weight into Harry as I stood up properly, I couldn’t help but feel a real pain in my stomach. “Is that normal?” I wince looking up to the doctor as I place my hand on my stomach.

“Yes.” He chuckles. “You haven’t used your stomach muscles in days – it is normal for it to hurt.” He nods as I take a step. I let out a cough as I take another, Harry following along.

“Do you reckon you could help?” He scoffs over to Louis who was reading something off of his phone. “Oh, shit sorry.” He breathes as he stands up, grabbing onto my other hand. I roll my eyes as I continue to walk around my room.

“Feel any better?” The doctor asks. “Yeah I feel much better.” I smile, it’s just sore but other than that – the bullet wound doesn’t hurt at all.” I smile as I quickly adjust my hospital gown.

“Alright then, I don’t mind if you boys take a walk around the hospital – just don’t leave the premises.” He chuckles out giving Harry and Louis a nod.

“He’s in good hands.” Harry chuckles as he links his arm with me, sending a smile my way. “Did you want to go to the cafeteria? I’m pretty hungry.” Lou gets out biting his lip.

“Alright mate, I’ve just got to go to the toilet first.” I mutter as I walk toward the toilet which conjoined to my room.

“Did you ah- did you need help?” Louis gets out warily. “Y-Yeah, can you lift the seat up?” I ask casing him to chuckle as he does just that.

“Hurry up Horan, got things to do.” Harry chuckles as I begin to pee. “Don’t rush a guy when he’s doing his business.” I mutter as I look up to the ceiling, cringing as I stretched my torso.
