MEANT TO BE?

MARISA'S P.O.V

One week has passed since I was taken to the emergency room. the boys are coming home today. I should be at the airport, waiting for them with the other girls. I shouldn't be trapped here, in this room. What is Niall going to think when I am not there? Does he already know? What if he doesn't want anything to do with me? What if I ruin his image? What if...

NIALL'S P.O.V

Finally, home. After a long ride, the plane began to dip to the ground. The five of us got up and stretched before grabbing our carry ons and hustling off the plane when we landed. After we grabbed our luggage from the baggage claim, we made our way towards the exit, luckily the place wasn't crowded with fans. As we got closer to the doors I saw three recognizable girls; Perrie, El, and Danielle. Where was Marisa? i felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to face Louis.

" El and I need to talk to you when we drop you off." He said. His tone was hushed but serious. Although confused, I nodded and contined to follow the others back to car.

Everybody was talking, except for El and Lou. both kept glancing from each other to their phones. sometimes they would look at me out of the corner of there eye, but looked away before I could make eye contact. I was the only one who noticed there odd behavior.

BZZZT BZZZT

I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone out of my pocket. It was a text from Louis.

El and I are going to get off at your house.

I was about to respond when the driver pulled up at my house. I stood up to get out to grab my stuff and so did El and Lou.

"Why are you guys egtting off with Niall?" Harry asked.

"El left her car here earlier when she was with Marisa." Lou responded.

"Where is Marisa? I thought she said she was going to be there with you guys?" Liam asked the girls.

The three of them got very quiet nd looked at each other.

"She wasnt feeeling to well this morning.' El chimed in after a moment of silence. Why hasnt she texted me back then? Was she sleeping?

The others believed them and said their goodbyes as we climbed out of the car. I wasn"t buying it though. Something wasn't adding up. I had a wierd feeling in the pit of my stomach and began to worry. Something was wrong, I could feel it.

"What the hell is going on Louis? Where is Marisa?" I demanded as soon as the car pulled away.

'Niall, let's go inside." Louis responded. Before I could reply, the two were already up the drive.

I slammed the door shut behind me once we got inside. I was worried and angry. I knew something was wrong. they wouldn't be acting like this if there wasn't.

"What the hell is going on?!? You guys better tell me now!" I demanded from the both of them.

Louis looked at El, she had tears in her eyes and was shaking her head. Louis wrapped his arm around her, trying to comfort her and let out a sigh.

"Well?!?" I nearly shouted looking from one to the other. Louis was the first of the two to speak up.

"Marisa is in the hospital Niall. She has been for a week now." He blurted out. I felt my heart sink to my stomache.

"Wha-"I could barely get the words out. My mouth went dry.

"She relapsed Niall. As soon as she's stable, they are checking her into a Partial Inpatient Clinic they have down the street from the hospital." El croaked. I felt my legs go weak and I collapsed onto the couch behind me. I couldn't believe it, Did I let this happen?
