waddup???? after 172839483 years, i'm here with the big chapter.. and a quick note before you begin reading, i don't know anything about surgeries for being able to hear again or anything like that so some of my stuff will most likely be off so please excuse that. and i think that's it.. enjoy :-)
Today was the day of my surgery and I was nervous as hell. I had to pack some extra clothes and my laptop because my mother informed that I would be there for a little while. It was currently four in the morning because it took a few hours to get there and my surgery was at twelve. I had to have time to settle in.
I was sitting on the couch when my phone vibrated.
hey florence.. i won't be there to see you off but i hope your surgery goes well and i might be there later. :)
oh.. alright. thanks :-)
Are you ready to go, honey? We may have to get there early, my mother signed. I nodded and grabbed my bag, walking behind her. My dad was already in the car and he smiled as I slid in the backseat.
You excited? he asked. I shrugged and he gave me a smile, It'll be fine.
I laid my head against the window as my mother got in the car. She looked back at me and smiled before the car started moving. This surgery could either make me hear again or ruin my life.
I sighed and closed my eyes. Maybe a nap could calm my nerves.

I woke up to my mother shaking me. She was kneeling down beside me and I could see my dad standing behind her with my bags. Oh, we were at the hospital already..
I unbuckled the seatbelt and followed after them to the hospital. While they were checking in, I decided to check my phone.
niall (7)
heyyyy are you there yet?
FLORENCE.
you can't possibly be there yet..
is your phone off?
are you asleep ?
florenceeeeeeeee.
alright.. fine then..
I smiled and shook my head. He was so weird sometimes.
i fell asleep.. sorry niall.
FLORENCE HEY ARE YOU THERE?
yeah.. niall are you okay?
yes.. i am. i just wanted to tell you good luck.
are you going to be here later?
um i don't know.
I frowned. He told me he'd be here.
oh okay. i'm about to go in so uh bye niall.
I shut my phone off and sighed. I was disappointed that Niall wouldn't be here. He's the only one that could calm my nerves right now.
My mother came over and touched my arm, which was the universal signal for 'it's time'. I followed her and a nurse down this a hallway until we got to this room.
The nurse said you could change in that bathroom and after that, you could sit down, my mother signed. She handed me some clothes and I went in the small bathroom, changing out of my pajamas. I put on the ugly gown and met my mother back in the room.
The nurse and doctor will be here in a few minutes. You ready?
I shook my head, feeling my hands shake. I was beyond nervous. My mother grabbed my hands, holding them.
You'll be fine today. This hospital is highly qualified.
I nodded and sat down on the bed, folding my hands together. My mother came over and sat down beside me, putting her arm around my shoulder. I sat there with her until the doctors came in.
I saw them introduce theirselves to my mother as I kept my gaze on my lap. A few minutes later they came over to me and gestured for me to lay down.
"IV" My mother mouthed. It had finally occured to me that when I wake up, I'll be able to hear my parents' voices and Niall's and his friends. I saw them inject something in the IV and soon my eyes had closed and I had drifted to sleep.
I woke up to this strange beeping noise to the right. I opened my eyes and noticed my parents sitting in the corner. They noticed me and I heard my mother gasp.
Wait. The beeping noise was the heart monitor.. and I could actually hear it. And my mother.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
I could hear.
My parents hurriedly stood up and made their way toward me.
"Honey.."
I grabbed my mother before she could say anything else and hugged her really tight. "Your voice is so pretty," I whispered in her ear. She made this weird choking noise and I heard myself laugh. She pulled back and my dad decided to pull me in for a hug.
"Buttercup, how do you feel?" My dad asked.
"I can hear.." I whispered. He laughed, "Yeah, you can. I told you that it'd be fine."
He pulled back and I saw a doctor come in, "Miss Jensen, you're awake."
I nodded and he flipped through the pages of his clipboard.
"Alright, so we finished your surgery about three hours ago. We put in a cochlear implant which is what's helping you hear. It won't cure your deafness but it'll make it a lot more bearable. I'll have your parents come with me so I can talk some more with them. You might feel a little bald spot in your hair, it'll grow back. It's just where we put in the implant. Oh, and there's a boy waiting for you outside, I'll send him in."
I watched him take my parents out and to my surprise, Niall came in. He stood by the door for a while before he shuffled closer.
"Florence," he whispered. I smiled, "Hey, Niall.."
He grinned and tacked me in a hug, "Oh my God, Florence. You can hear, you can actually hear me speak."
I nodded, tearing up. His voice was the best thing to listen to, I couldn't wait for him to laugh. He pulled away and tucked a hair behind my ear. I moved my head away slightly and he frowned.
"Sorry it's just that there's this bald spot here and you might.." I trailed off when I saw him shake his head. "What?"
He gave me a small smiled, "I don't care, you still look beautiful."
And then his mouth was on mine.
HOLY ANIXUQW SO MUCH HAPPENED IN THIS CHAPTER WHAT THE FRICK I DIDN'T EVEN PLAN FOR THEM TO KISS BUT HOLY HELL IT JUST FELT RIGHT. I FEEL LIKE CRYING SHE CAN HEAR CWQEQVBEQVV. Okay.. alright I'm calm. So a lot of the stuff about the implant is changed around because I actually read about it and some of the stuff was actually really sad and I ddin't want to put it in here okay. Can we just take a moment please.. and think about 23 year old Louis?? I can't wait to see the first picture of 23 year old Louis wow I'm very passionate about this. But.. okay..
