Silently in Love [Niall Horan]

Chapter Thirteen

I woke up the following Monday by my mother shaking me.

Morning honey, I made breakfast so come downstairs.

I nodded and sat up, rubbing my face as she left my room. The first thing I grabbed was my phone, smiling when I saw a text from Niall.

hi.. goodmorning sunshine!

I replied and got out of bed, brushing my hair out and changing into some jeans.

what are your plans today??

i don't know?? i might watch some tv shows.

sounds awesome.. have fun babe! i might stop by.. just to watch the shows with you.

I sighed and placed my phone on the nightstand. I'd been thinking about what Liam said but I wasn't sure if I believed him. There was no way that he liked me.

I met my parents in the kitchen, kissing both of them on the cheek.

Morning.

My dad smiled at me, What are your plans for today, Florence?

That seemed to be a popular question today.

Might just watch tv.

Don't forget to catch up on your schoolwork, Florence, my mother reminded.

I nodded, stuffing a piece of bacon in my mouth. I'd completely forgotten about my schoolwork. Whoops.

I finished and put my plate in the sink, kissing my dad goodbye before walking back upstairs. After brushing my teeth, I laid back down on my bed, grabbing my laptop. Time to waste my entire day.

I watched three episodes before I decided to grab my books. Homeschooling was pretty easy, for the most part. I just hated doing it. My phone vibrated in the middle of me doing math. Of course it was from Niall.

hey.. you busy right now?

yeah.. why?

what are you doing?

school.

i'll be over in a few minutes.

True to his word, ten minutes later, Niall opened my door.

What subject?

I picked up my texbook, showing him. Niall nodded, and sat down beside me. So how does homeschooling work?

It's just like regular school except online.. I still have textbooks though.

Niall smiled and nodded, laying back. I finished a few minutes later and set down my books down. Niall tugged my arm and I fell back into him. I didn't move, Niall was comfortable.

We laid there for a while until my mother came up. She had the phone in her hand so I assumed that she just finished talking to someone.

Can I speak with you?

I nodded and got up, signaling for Niall to wait a minute. I followed my mother into the kitchen.

So I just got off the phone with a hospital.. and they told me some great news.

I nodded, confused. Why was she talking to the hospital?

They might be able to make you hear again!

I stood there, watching as her face lit up. What?

I told them that I'd let you think about-

No, I signed. She frowned.

No? But Florence-

No, I don't want to.

I had read about what could happen if you went through with a surgery. Some surgeries weren't successful.

Florence, please.

I shook my head as Niall came downstairs.

"Everything alright?"

I saw my mother explain what was going on. Niall looked towards me, eyebrows furrowed. My mother turned back to me.

Florence, this hospital has performed surgeries like this a bunch of times and they've been successful every time. The only problem is that they're three hours away but just please-

"No!" I shouted, tears coming to my eyes. I'm sure my voice sounded choppy but I didn't care. I didn't want to go. Something could go wrong and I didn't want to risk it.

Both of their eyes widened and I saw my mother start tearing up. Please, Florence. I know how much you hate being deaf and I want you to be happy again. Think about it, honey.

She patted Niall on the shoulder before heading into the living room. Niall walked up to me and pulled me in a hug, smoothing down my hair. He let me silently cry for a few minutes before he pulled back.

Are you worried that something will go wrong? He asked. I nodded and he sighed. I understand but don't you want to at least try? If you want, we can look up information about the hospital.

I shrugged and he signaled for me to stay still while he went in the living room. He came back, phone in hand.

Your mother told me the hospital name and I looked it up. Florence, this surgery has a ninety-nine percent chance of working.

He handed me his phone and I read it. He was right. This hospital was highly qualified.

But what about the money? It cost twenty-one hundred dollars.

Your parents must have the money for it if they're talking to you about it. Are you thinking about saying yes?

I shrugged, slightly nodding. Niall grinned, slightly bouncing. He opened his mouth and a few seconds later, my mother appeared.

She rushed towards me and hugged me. I'm so happy you're thinking about it. Your father is going to be so happy.

I smiled and she let go to hug Niall. I saw Niall give me a thumbs up above her and I gave one back, blushing when he blew me a kiss.
