My Secret Heart

Chapter 22

STILL NIALL'S POV:

I was starting to hear my surroundings as I was waking up from my sleep.

"Here is you purse Ms. Bronshnic. The man was sent to jail and is charged a wide amount of money for the crime, not only committed once, but for the third time. You know you are very lucky you had this young boy here to help you out, or something could have gone worse."

"Thank you Mam" I heard her sweet voice say. Maggie! I forced my eyes open and tried to figure out where I was at.

"Niall! Your awake!" Maggie half yelled at me as she ran to hug me. I grunted as I felt so much pain as she squeezed me tight.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I forgot you broke two ribs."

"I broke...how...w..where am I?" I stumbled getting it out of my mouth, I was so confused.

"You blacked out after you were trying to get the thief to let go of my purse. Now you are in the hospital with two broken ribs, a fractured nose, and many bruises and scrapes." She told me looking at me seriously with her sweet eyes.

"Oh yeah" it all started coming back to me.

The nurse came in and told me I needed to rest a little bit before she let me go home. So I quickly went back to sleep, I was so tired and my body ached.

MAGGIE'S POV:

I watched him as he slept in peace in the hospital bed. His black eyes, his nose all wrapped up, and all the bruises and scrapes, it was all for me.

Flash backs went through my mind at how the man beat Niall to the ground. How even when he was so beaten up, he still got up to save me. A tear slid down my cheek.

"Baby?"

"Oh Niall, you're away." I said quickly wiping away a few fresh tears.

"What's wrong? Come here." He opened his arms gesturing me to the side of his bed. I walked over and gently laid down in his arms, trying not to hurt him.

"You realize I do love you right?" he asked in my ear as he kissed the top of my head. I sniffled a little as another tear fell from my face.

"I realize now. And I'm sorry I didn't believe you" I didn't even have to tell him what I was talking about, he already knew.

"You have no reason to say sorry, I'm the one who needs to be apologizing." He said running his hands through my hair.

"Niall" I said choking back the tears. "I love you more than anything, I'm sorry I left. I just thought it would be best for me." I couldn't hold back the tears I just let them all fall onto Niall's hospital gown.

"I love you too princess. Please just, love me for me... I am going to make mistakes, but I won't try and hurt you in any kind of way"

I pulled away and looked him in the eyes, as he wiped away my tears. "I know you wouldn't. And I will always love you no matter what." I told him.

He took my face and pulled it close to his. Our lips just brushing against each other's. He pulled me deeper into the kiss. He grunted a little and I knew I was hurting him, so I pulled away.

"No I like this kind of pain" he said smirking and pulling my lips back to his. My heart filled full with happiness and love when our lips met again.

We pulled away and he tucked a strand of hair back behind my eyes.

"You are so beautiful, I hope you know that" he told me taking my hand. A wide smile formed on my face and I cuddled back up with him.

He started singing to me "I'm yours." I loved it when he sung to me. I felt so happy and safe.

In no time at all, I fell asleep to his soft voice and his steady heartbeat.
