Mute - Niall Horan

18

I was currently laying on the floor of the room that Niall was in before his surgery. I was just laying there staring at the ceiling. Yes I was that bored. It had been 4 hours and Tom had came to talk to me about two and a half hours ago.

Tom walked into the room and I sat up, looking at him.

"That bored?" He asked. I just shrugged and nodded. "The surgery is complete, it went really well there were no problems and we were able to do what we wanted to do" He told me.

"That's brilliant" I smiled.

Tom nodded. "We will bring him back in here, he will be asleep for 45 minutes to an hour, only then will he start to wake up and it will probably be another hour from then until the anaesthesia will wear off. During the mean time he will probably be confused, feel slightly light headed, ask lots of questions, and may shiver slightly, that's just the medicine wearing off. We will have a couple of nurses in here with me to closely monitor him until he is awake" Tom explained the procedure. I nodded and he left. I left and went and stood outside the hospital. I grabbed my phone and called Louis.

"Hey Nellie, what's up?" He asked.

"Niall's surgery is over" I replied.

"Awesome, did they tell you how it went?"

"Yeah, it went fine and there wasn't any complications" I said.

"That's cool, are you going to stay the night there with Niall or did you want one of us to pick you up?" Louis asked.

"I'll stay, you know to keep Niall company. You know how he hates hospital" I replied.

"Yeah we all know. Anyway, we'll call in the morning before we come up" Louis replied.

"Okay" I said.

"Bye"

"Bye" I hung up. I went back inside and knocked on the door before walking in. Niall was laying in the bed like before the surgery but this time he was asleep. Tom and two other people were here monitoring him. I got greeted by Tom and introduced to the others, who I learnt to be Lewis and Sarah.

Niall began to wake up and the doctors checked him over. Once they were happy they left and said that they would return in half hour or so. He opened his eyes and you could see his body tense up a bit.

"Niall... Babe, relax" I said, stroking his chest. His muscle relaxed and he closed his eyes before opening them.

"What time is it?" Niall asked sleepily.

"About 7:30pm" I replied.

"So we've been here all afternoon?" He said. I nodded. "Was I asleep?" He asked.

"Yeah, for 5 hours or so" I replied.

"woah" He replied.

"How's your knee does it hurt?" I asked. He looked down at it.

"I cant feel I-I-it" he stuttered before spacing out a bit.

I rested my head on Niall's chest and it made him jump.

"Shh its okay" I replied. Niall took his hand and lazily dropped it round my shoulder.

"You tired?" I asked him.

"Slightly" He replied.

"Get some rest then" I smiled.

"No" He replied.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because I don't need it" He replied. "Nellie" He whispered.

"Yes babe" I replied.

"I'm cold" He said.

"Do you wanna put your shirt on?
 
"I cant" He said.

"Why's that Ni?" I asked.

"because you can do it for me" He said. I just smiled and grabbed his t-shirt from his bag of things that we had brought with us. He sat up and I put his t-shirt on him. He then leant onto my body and closed his eyes.

"I feel dizzy" he said.

"Maybe you should lay back down" I advised him.

He shook his head.  "You smell too good"

"Thanks babe" I replied.

Tom walked in and smiled, seeing that Niall was awake, even if he still wasn't fully awake he was getting more alert. He put a blood pressure cuff round Niall's arm.

"You need to relax your arm for me buddy" Tom said. I held Niall's arm out straight and stroked his hair in order to get him to relax it, like he eventually did.

"Okay, you're probably going to be all good to go tomorrow some time with a pair of crutches." Tom said.

"Awesome" Niall smiled.

It was currently 10pm and the anaesthesia had fully worn off, Niall was back to his normal self, though his knee was giving him a little bit of pain. I was currently laying on the sofa that we had pushed up to the side of the bed and then lowered the bed so we were level with each other.

"It all went good" I smiled at Niall.

"Yeah but it bloody hurts" he sighed. I just put my hand to his cheek and began to caress it. Such an eventful day....
