I Can't Help Falling In Love With You (A One Direction FanFiction)

Chapter 13

Liam’s POV

                  I felt my heart stop as Leah’s eyes fluttered closed and she collapsed into my arms.

                  “Lee! LEAH! LEAH NO DON’T LEAVE ME!” I screamed shaking her violently.

                  “Jesus Christ Liam don’t shake her like that. Why don’t you actually do something to help her and get some bandages so she doesn’t bleed out!” Niall’s irritated voice sliced through the air as he took Leah’s lifeless body out of my arms. I gazed at him worriedly. “Don’t just stare at me, DO SOMETHING!” I searched through the cabinets for gauze and tape, quickly locating it and dressing the cuts on Leah’s wrist. I choked back a sob, how could she do something like this to herself? I never thought she was so unhappy to do something like this to herself. “C’mon Harry’s called an ambulance, we need to get her to the hospital.” Niall said suddenly getting up, carefully maneuvering Leah through the doorway and downstairs to the awaiting ambulance.

                  “We can only take one person in the ambulance with her will that be you sir?” The paramedic asked Niall as he placed her on the awaiting stretcher.

                  “No I will.” I said stepping forward.

                  “No Liam, you’ve done enough damage. I’m going with her.” Niall retaliated pushing me back with a hand on my chest. I gaped at him but didn’t argue anymore and watched as the doors closed and the ambulance drove off.

                  “Liam babe are you alright?” I felt someone’s arms wrap around my waist. My eyes widened as I turned to face Danielle. I’d totally forgotten she was here, watching me cry over the only girl I’d ever really loved.

                  “Honestly? No I’m not.” She frowned and rubbed my arm, giving me a weak smile.

                  “It’s her isn’t it?” She asked quietly. I was a bit stunned and I stared disbelivingly. “I know it is… I saw the way you looked at her and how worried you were about her, you never looked at me like that…”

                  “Danielle I –”

                  “No you need to fight for her. Girls who make you feel like that only come around once and I wouldn’t want to be the one in the way of you having that…”

                  “I-I’m sorry.” I mumbled wrapping her into a hug.

                  “Don’t be… we can still be friends okay? Now go, you should be with her.” She walked away, dropping my hand from hers at the last second and turning to give me a smile before she got into her car and disappeared into the night. Whatever just happened felt so surreal. How Danielle wasn’t mad but instead she was completely understanding and supportive. I heaved a heavy sigh before turning back towards the house.

                  “Where’d Danielle go mate?” Harry asked as I came back inside.

                  “She… we broke up I guess. She noticed how I was around Leah and told me to fight for her…”

                  “Well then we should go because if we don’t Niall will beat you to it.” He nodded towards the door and shoved my keys into my palm.

                  “Where’s Zayn and Louis?” I asked.

                  “Not important right now. Go!” Harry practically shoved me out the door. “We’ll be there later kay?” He shouted from the doorway. I just nodded numbly and got into my car. I just needed to get to Leah right now.

*****

                  I jogged into the hospital, quickly spewing Leah’s name at the nurse before running off to the room she’d directed me towards. I arrived at room 127 only a moment later but something stopped me from going inside. I saw Niall and Leah asleep on her bed, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist, her small fragile body leaning against his with her head resting on his chest. Jealously panged at my heart. I clenched and unclenched my fists before bursting through the door. The slamming of the door against the wall awoke Niall with a grunt. He rubbed his eye and glared at me.

                  “Liam what are you –“

                  “Niall. Leah’s mine and you know it.” Niall slipped away from Leah’s sleeping body and stood facing me.

                  “No I don’t know it. Do you know why she’s even here Liam? Because of YOU!” He poked me hard in the chest. “You don’t deserve her and she definitely doesn’t deserve someone like you who doesn’t care about her the way she needs to be cared for.”

                  “OF COURSE I CARE ABOUT HER! I LOVE HER DAMNIT! And what makes you so deserving of her anyway? Huh?”

                  “I’m not the one who made out with her, told her how I felt and then instead of fighting for her went and got another girl.”

                  “Danielle was just a rebound and I realize that now.”

                  “Yeah well Leah didn’t realize that. She ran off tonight crying because you left her for Danielle. She almost DIED because she thought you didn’t care about her. I on the other hand was the one comforting her and letting her cry on my shoulder. So of course I deserve her. What have you done for her? Nothing. You’ve only hurt her more.”

                  “I-I-I…” I couldn’t think of what to say. Everything Niall was saying was true, I did hurt her but I still loved her. I wouldn’t be able to unlove her… I’d loved her since I was thirteen! There’s no way I’d be able to get over her like that.

                  “Yeah. That’s what I thought. I suggest you leave. You’re probably the last person she’s going to want to see when she wakes up.” Niall’s words were harsh and filled with subtle hatred. I nodded numbly and walked out of the room. I wasn’t giving up that easily though. I decided to camp out in the waiting room. Maybe I could sneak in to talk to her when she woke up and when Niall left. I had to apologize to her and make things right. I wasn’t going to lose her.

                       I couldn’t.

HI THERE PEEPS! 

So this chapter is dedicated to one of my best friends Michaila cuz it's her birthday and she really likes this story and has encouraged me to keep writing it. I LOVE YOU SHAY <3

I'm really sorry if this chapter is short. Whenever I'm writing this story I just feel kinda lost. I've decided I'm going to make this story a lot shorter than my last one. I just don't have as much motivation nor the ideas to fuel this story for that long. I'm thinking maybe like ten or so chapters maybe? I'm not completely sure yet. 

Well I hope you people who like this story weren't disapointed! 

Remember comments and ideas are always welcome!

VOTE/COMMENT/FAN!
