Chapter 17 - Falling harder

Niall’s P.O.V

I stood staring at the yellow petals of the flowers thinking of so many things at once it felt as though not a single positive thoughts could pass on. I studied the flower within its silver cold background of the hospital elevator. I rose my head and glanced at the glowing numbers changing with height as we merged higher and higher within this massive building.

I hate this place, it’s like a prison. I hate visiting it for a few hours a day, I couldn’t bear the thought of what it would be like for Lexi practically living here. The loud ding announcing I had met Lexi’s floor woke me from my thoughts. I stepped out of the elevator and made my way to Lexi’s room. 

I stood inside the frame of the room, as someone stood checking Lexi’s temperature. I gave a small cough grabbing Lexi’s attention. She looked to me and gave small weak smile. The nurse checking on Lexi looked up and gave a concerned look.

“I’m sorry Sir there are no flowers in the cancer they induce too many risks.” I sighed passing her the flowers and walking over towards to Lexi’s bed as the nurse left shutting the door. I lent down and gave Lexi a small kiss and sat down in the chair next to her.

“Hi.” I said in a remarkably small voice that took me by surprise.

“Hey, are you ok?” Lexi asked concerned taking my hand in hers. There. There it is. She’s done it again. Put me before herself. I can’t handle it, every little thing makes me fall even more in love with her. And it’s killing me because every moment I fall harder I get more scared of losing her.

“No. Alexis how could anyone be ok with this. It kills me to think about you, that everyday I’m off living my life and you’re here stuck in a never ending cycle of tests, examinations and treatments. And guess what? I’m in love with you Lexi.” I spoke rubbing her hand as a tear threatened to escape my eyes. “Every day I fall even further, it scares me that one day you might not be here, and I can’t live without you Lexi, it would kill me.” At that moment I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I broke out in tears and looked down.

“Hey. Hey. hey, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.” She spoke lifting my chin and staring me in the eye. “You can’t get rid of me that easy. I love you.” She spoke as she slowly pulled me into a slow soft kiss. I pulled away and stared into her eyes.

“I love you too.”

Zayn’s P.O.V

My eyes fluttered open as the light beamed on my face from a split in the curtains. I turned to move my head out of the light only to realize Justin’s arm wrapped around my waist.

“Morning.” Justin spoke in a cracked morning voice. I couldn’t help but turn to give him a kiss.

“Hey babe, I’m gonna get up mm k?” I said untangling him from me. I stood up and pulled on a shirt. I slowly opened the door and made my way down stairs.

I walked through the living room as Walyiha and Safaa sat watching something blaring on the television. I came into the kitchen and sat at the breakfast table mum stood over the stove cooking something.

“Morning sweetie.” Mum said.

“Hey mum.”

“Where’s Justin?” she asked

“Still sleeping. He’ll be up soon. Hey, what’s for Breakfast?” I asked

“Pancakes.” She smiled.

I walked over to the couch and sat down I pulled out my phone and started going through my twitter and Instagram. After a while of being on twitter I became bored and started watching some cheesy Christmas movie the girls were watching.

I jumped when I felt two arms wrap around my neck. Justin kissed my neck and I smiled.

“Good morning babe.” Justin spoke.

“Morning.” I said as I turned and gave him a good morning kiss.

“Awwwww” Walyiha and Safaa wined.

“Shut up!” I said kissing Justin again.
