It's the Little Things~ A Niall Horan Love Story

*Chapter 5

*Carmen's P.O.V.*

Liam shut off the car and we both unbuckled our seat belts. I looked over to him quick. I could see it in his eyes, he really was scared. Scared that Niall was going to die. I looked away and got out of the car, trying to keep my cool. I slammed the door closed as I adjusted my bag on my shoulder. Liam and I headed inside not saying a word. We walked through the glass sliding doors and walked up to the front desk.

"We're here to see Niall Horan." Liam said to the secretary. She brought up his name on the computer, which took a few minutes.

"Okay, he's in the intensive care unit right now, but room 725. You'll go down the hall, up the stairs, take a left around the corner and his room should be right past the upper food court." She told us. We said our "thank you's" and headed to Niall's room. As we were walking down the hallway Liam turned to me.

"Hey Carmen?" He said sounding hesitant.

"Yea?"

"Look, I'm sorry about the whole blowup in the car. I know you love Niall and I shouldn't have accused you of not loving him. But honestly, sometimes he doesn't feel like you love him and it upsets him, it really does." He told me, looking down while we headed up the stairs. I felt tears starting to come but I tried my best to hold them back. I didn't answer him back. Too many things were going through my mind. How long have I been treating Niall like this? I wish he would have said something to me. Because now I'm afraid that it's... to late. We stopped walking when we found room 725. I took a deep breath. I was surprised when Liam put his arm over my shoulder and brought me in for a hug. And no, I didn't turn him away, a hug was exactly what I needed right now. I hugged him back and held him tight.

"Are you ready?" He asked letting go. I nodded as I pushed the door open. I saw what I never in my life imagined thought I would ever see. Niall. He was laying on the hospital bed with IV's in his arms and tubes running up his nose. I could hear the heart rate monitor, beeping slow and steady. I couldn't speak. I slowly walked up to him and just looked down and his limp body. He looked so lifeless. His blond hair was abnormally messy and his face was paler than usual, if that was even possible. I reached over and held his hand. It was cold and clammy. I let a tear slip. I pulled over a seat to sit next to his bed, a doctor walked in the room. I instantly looked over at him, Liam was already speaking to him. I went over to find out what was going on.

"What's going on with Niall?" I asked, waiting for an instant reply.

"Well," the doctor started. "before he arrived at the hospital he had a heart attack, witch was why he passed out. We're still trying to find the cause of the heart attack but, we do know that he is going to be sick for quite some time." 

"Wha-a-t?" I stuttered. I'm glad he wasn't  dead or anything but I just want him home.

"We're going to run some tests, it's going to take an hour or so. You're welcome to stay if you would like." The doctor said, trying to make me feel better. I was kind of overreacting a little bit. I looked over at Liam. He nodded and told the doctor,

"Yes, we would like to stay."

"Okay, I'll need you both to wait in the waiting room and we'll find you guys when we're done running tests." The doctor told us as we walked out of the room, and back downstairs into the waiting room. We chose a couch over by a huge glass window allowing us to look out into the starry night. I looked at my watch, 8:30 already. Ughh, guess i won't be going to school tomorrow. But right now I wasn't worried about missing school tomorrow, I was worried about Niall.

*TWO HOURS LATER

"Carmen King and Liam Payne please report to room 725." I heard over the loud speaker. It's about time, I thought to myself. We've been sitting here for 2 hours, at the least, doing absolutely nothing. All I have been doing this whole time was thinking about Niall. Well, me and Niall. My mind kept drifting back to when Niall and I met. From the moment we laid eyes on each other I fell in love. I wanted him to be mine. I kept thinking back to the first texts we sent each other, our first date, our first kiss. Everything was so perfect back then. Why can't it be like that again? After hearing the announcement we got up and stretched.

"You ready?" Liam asked, putting his arm around my shoulder once again.

"Yep, let's do this." I told him trying to sound confidant. But the truth was, I was scared out of my mind. I just want Niall to be okay. No, I NEED him to be okay. I can't live my life without Niall. Sooner than I hoped, we had reached his room and walked right in. And I saw the most beautiful sight in the world. Niall. Sitting up in his bed. Breathing, talking, laughing.... living.
