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

*Chapter 6

*Carmen's P.O.V.*

"Niall..." I whispered, in shock of seeing him looking so healthy after just having a heart attack. I ran over to him as we both hugged each other.

"Carmen! I'm so sorry I worried you guys." He whispered into my shoulder while we were hugging. I pulled away and looked at him.

"Niall, don't feel sorry at all. This isn't even your fault! I love you and I'm glad you're okay." I said to him running my hands through his hair.

"I love you too Carmen." He said with a smile on his face. I looked down at his hands and intertwined our fingers together. He looked up at me and smiled even bigger.

"Niall?" I asked him.

"Yea?"

"Well, I know that this is kind of random but I really need to tell you something. I really love you. And I'm sorry if I don't show it as much as I should but I love you with all of my heart and I need you to know that okay? Don't ever forget it." I told him as I leaned in for a kiss. Niall opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the doctor who walked into the room.

"Okay, we had the other doctors looked at the test results and we found a few things that we are worried about that we need to keep an eye on." The doctor said as he sat in a chair and pulled out his clipboard.

"Well? What's going on?" Niall asked the doctor. His eyes were widened and he was obviously scared. But I know he's strong. He'll get better soon and life will go back to normal in no time. Right?

"Well, we've found that your heart valves are too narrow, which makes it harder for blood to pump through the body, a possible reason for you feeling faint earlier. A couple other things that we found are that your heart and liver are enlarged. This can become very serious if not treated soon." The doctor told us. After the news, it was a long silence. I couldn't make eye contact with Niall. I was staring at the ground, tears forming in my eyes. Our hands were still intertwined though, and I could feel him squeezing my hand. I looked up at him and I saw tears streaming down his face.

 "Baby..." That was all I could muster. I didn't know what to tell him. "You’re strong. It's all going to be okay."

"No, it's not.  I'm going to die Carmen." Niall said looking away.

"Niall, don't even say that! You haven't had any work done. You've been in the hospital for not even a day. You're going to get better and it will all be okay." I said to him.

"Carmen, can I see you out in the hallway?" The doctor said, waving me over. I nodded and walked out the door.

"Yes?" I asked messing around with my hands, giving me something to do. I was nervous; I had no idea what he was going to tell me.

"It's about Niall. We think we have a diagnosis but we're not 100% sure yet. But it is life threatening. We're going to do everything we can but we're not sure if he's going to make it a lot longer. I'm sorry."

"What?!" I screamed, instantly putting my hands over my mouth. I didn't want Niall to hear and think anything was wrong. "How much longer do you think?"

"Right now, a month. We're going to run a few more tests tomorrow and hopefully get him into surgery later this month, which will hopefully increase his time. But if we're really lucky it'll cure him."

I didn't even try to hold back the tears. They came and when they did it was waterworks.

"When can you tell us the diagnosis?" I asked trying to re-gain my composure.

"Hopefully we can tell you in a few days after the tests. So we're completely sure." The doctor told me. "You're also allowed to stay the night. We've talked to Liam and he said that he doesn't want to because he wants you and Niall to have time alone."

I didn't say a word back to him. I just walked into the room and looked at Niall. He was talking and laughing with Liam. I couldn't imagine him not being here with me. He was truly the love of my life. I honestly can't live without Niall. I walked slowly over to them and looked at Liam, signaling that I found out.

"Well, I have to go but Carmen, you're staying the night. See you guys tomorrow." Liam said. He gave me a hug, then Niall, then left the room. I walked over to turn the lights off, looked over at Niall, and crawled into the hospital bed with him. I wrapped my arms around him and for the first time in a long time, I held my entire world in my arms.
