Mute - Niall Horan

19

The next morning it was 10am and Niall was still asleep. I had recently had a phone call from Louis telling me that they were on their way, so I bet Niall will be glad to see them. There was a knock at the door and it opened, Liam, Louis, Zayn and Harry walked in. They took their seats on the sofas and I poked Niall's cheek to wake him up.

"wha- oh hey guys" Niall smiled.

"How is it?" Liam asked.

"Sore but im fine" Niall said.

"Him on anaesthesia is the funniest thing ive seen" I smiled.

"god, I bet that was embarrassing" Niall blushed. I nodded, confirming his guess.

"I would have loved to have seen that" Louis laughed.

Just then the door opened and in walked Tom with Lewis.

"Morning guys" Tom smiled. Lewis just gave a simple nod beside him.

"So we'll just do a few tests and you will probably be good to go" Tom smiled. Niall nodded and Lewis handed me a big bottle of pills.

"He has to take these three times a day until the bottle is complete" Lewis told me. I nodded and thanked him before putting them in my bag.

"All clear Niall, I think with the aid of a knee brace and crutches you should be able to leave" Tom grinned. Niall nodded, thanking him as he strapped the knee brace on. He then got passed the crutches and was able to get up. We signed the release forms and was able to leave the hospital. There were fans and paps everywhere, we waited inside the hospital while Paul got Niall safely to the van. I stood beside Zayn as he was the closest. He put his arm around my shoulder and we went to the van together.

Once everyone was in the van and the doors were shut we let out a breath of relief.

"So we all separating tomorrow" Louis said.

"What?" Niall and I asked at the same time.

"Oh right, you weren't with us at Simon's yesterday. Um Zayn continue" Louis said awkwardly.

"Well basically because we have a massive tour coming up Simon wanted us to go and spend the next month with family then come back together for the brits before we go on tour in may" Zayn explained.

"Can you come to Ireland with me to meet my family?" Niall asked.

"I have to go and see nan and the girls but I will stay here with Lou and Nan for two weeks, then come to Ireland for two weeks, how about that?" I asked. Louis and Niall agreed. That was that one sorted.

 When we got home Niall and I had to go and pack bags because the boys had done their yesterday. I did mine really quickly, and managed to get my stuff into two suitcases. I then went to help Niall. He was sat on the bed with the suitcase open beside him. I passed him his clothes one at a time and he folded them and placed them in the suitcase. Teamwork!

"NIALL! NELLIE! LUNCH!" Liam yelled from downstairs.

"Just coming!" Niall replied.

He got up from the bed and steadied himself on his crutches. When he was ready I followed him and carefully watched him as he slowly hobbled down the stairs. In the end he let go of his crutches and let them slide to the bottom. He then put his hands on each banister and hopped down, finding that much easier. Then he collected his crutches and hopped along the hallway to the kitchen. I followed and sat on the seat beside Zayn. Liam was dishing up Pizza.

"Yay pizza!" Niall cheered.

"Took you long enough" Zayn teased.

"Well Malik, using crutches is bloody difficult especially going down stairs." Niall replied.

"Whatever you say Horan" Zayn laughed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nellie!" Louis called. I bounced down the stairs to meet him at the bottom. 

"Yes brother" I replied.

"Traffic looks bad for tomorrow but good tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to head up to Doncaster tonight?" Louis asked.

"If you want" I replied.

"Right go say goodbye and we'll go" Louis said. I nodded and went upstairs to where Niall was laying in bed watching TV while resting his knee on a pillow.

"Louis wants to go up to Doncaster tonight" I said quietly.

"Okay babe, well I'll book your flight to Ireland this week and send you the tickets" Niall said. I nodded and hugged him.

"I love you" I whispered.

"I love you too" He replied and leant down to kiss me.

"I'll miss this" He said.

"So will i" I sighed.

"I'll text you each day" Niall said. I nodded and got up, putting my shoes and jacket on and taking my suitcase downstairs.

"Bye guys" I said. I gave each of them a hug (harry's hug was reluctant) before leaving and putting my stuff in the back of the car. I sat in the passenger seat and Louis got in, we then began our long trip up to Doncaster.

------------------------------------------

"You said traffic was good" I sighed. We were currently on a motorway and it was like a car park. No one was moving at all. In the end Louis turned the engine off to save fuel.

"There wasnt a hold up when i checked" he replied.

"So now what?" I asked, currently playing angry birds on my IPhone.

"We wait" Louis said.

"Can we turn the radio on?" I asked. Louis nodded so i pressed the on button.

"Oh look" Louis said as Story Of My Life was playing.

"I wonder who sings this?" I laughed.. Well you have to make fun of a long journey ?
