Stay or Leave (Narry)

Nineteen

Harry's POV

It's Christmas Eve. I should be spending time with my family, except my family is all right here in the hospital. Waiting for one of ours to wake up.

Niall has been in the hospital for almost three weeks. The doctor says he should be waking up soon.

All of us are hoping he wakes up tomorrow.

"Hey Louis, can you drive me real quick to get my guitar?" I ask my best friend.

"Yeah sure. Let's go now."

"We'll be back soon." I tell everyone.

Louis and I walk out to his guitar and beginning driving to Niall's house.

"Why do you need your guitar?" He asks me.

"When we were on tour, I wrote Niall a song, I haven't played it for him yet."

"What's it about?"

"It's about missing someone who means so much to you."

"That's perfect, Haz."

"Thanks. I'll be back in a minute."

I knew where the spear key was for the backdoor so I went there. It feels so weird being in here, when none of them are.

It's Christmas Eve, they should be in their house, not dead or in the hospital in Niall's case.

I run up to his room and grab my guitar that is always here. I lock the house back up and head back to the truck.

"All good?" Louis asks me when I get back in.

"Yep. Let's go see if my song can wake Niall up."

We get back to the hospital five minutes later.

"I'll be back. I'm going to sing to Niall." I tell everyone when we get back to the waiting room.

It's about 8 pm so some people are in the cafeteria getting dinner.

I walk into his room and put my guitar down next to his bed.

"Hey Ni. It's Christmas Eve. Please wake up tomorrow. That will be the best present to all of us, getting to see you awake."

I just sit there for a few minutes holding his hand.

"I wrote you a song when I was on tour over the summer. I haven't played it for anyone yet, not even you who it's about. I thought that right now would be a perfect time. I love you Niall James Horan."

I take my guitar out and start to strum the music for the song.

Been a lot of places.
I've been all around the world.
Seen a lot of faces.
Never knowing where I was.

On the horizon.
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know, I know the sun will be rising
Back home.

Living out of cases,
Packing up and taking off.
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was.

On the horizon.
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know, I know the moon will be rising
Back home.

Don't forget where you belong-home.
Don't forget where you belong-home.
If you ever feel alone-don't.
You were never on your own.
And the proof is in this song.

I've been away for ages
But I've got everything I need.
I'm flicking through the pages.
I've written in my memory.

I feel like I'm dreaming.
Oh, so I know, I know, I know, I know that I'm never leaving.
No, I won't go.

Don't forget where you belong-home.
Don't forget where you belong-home.
If you ever feel alone-don't.
You were never on your own.
And the proof is in this song.

Lights off when they should be on.
Even stars in the skies, they're wrong.
Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the things I've done
Don't matter how far I've gone-
I'm always feeling at home.
Oh.

Don't forget where you belong-home.
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it)-home.
If you ever feel alone-don't.
You were never on your own.
Never, never, never.

Don't forget where you belong-home.
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it)-home.
If you ever feel alone-don't.
You were never on your own (you were never).
And the proof is in this song.

Home.
Don't forget it.
Home.
If you ever feel alone-don't.
You were never on your own (you were never).
And the proof is in this song.

Never forget it.
This song.
Don't forget it!
No, I never forget it.
This song.
You were never...

"Please Niall. Please wake up. We all need you. I need you."

I sit there for a while longer. I leave his room at 10 pm realizing I have been in here for almost two hours.

Well that's what happens when the love of your life is in the hospital, fighting for his life.

I got back into the waiting room with everyone. The nurses and doctors don't even bother us anymore about staying here. Some people haven't left for as long as he has been here. The doctors let us use their showers, knowing some of us won't leave.

Tomorrow is Christmas and even though some of us haven't said it, we all know that our Christmas present will be Niall waking up.

Let's hope God answers our wishes and has Niall wake up tomorrow.

I love you, Niall James Horan.

Please wake up for us.

Please wake up for Christmas.

I finally fall asleep around 1 am, hoping that when I wake up, I'll wake up with news that Niall has woken up.

WOOO! Double update!

This chapter is quite emotional.

Don't Forget Where You Belong will probably always be one of my favorite songs.

Let's see will Niall wake up for Christmas? Or will he not?

No one knows, wait I do ;)

Happy Holidays!
