Chapter 9:
Liam’s POV
It’s been a week since Niall woke up and tomorrow he is finally free to go home and back to school. I’m glad everything has worked out for him, hearing about his past and having him stand up to Harry was something new for him. A new beginning. And I was going to be there for him. Always.
Everyone has come back for at least once a day but Mel and I are the only ones that have stayed full time to take care of him. I still don’t like the fact that they are a couple now. He seems happier but I know Mel just wants to play with him; I don’t care how much they have in common.
Mel went for breakfast and Niall’s asleep right now, looking as perfect as ever. Color coming back to his face, his blonde hair slowly going brown again, he’s been eating more so he isn’t as thin. I pull a strand of hair of his face and put it in place with the rest of his hair. So peaceful, innocent. Hurting Niall is like slapping a cute puppy in the face. Who would ever want that for him? My thoughts are stopped by my phone buzzing. It’s Dani.
‘Hey Dani, what’s up?’
‘What’s up? Is that all you can say? We haven’t gone out for 2 weeks and you’re still sitting in the hospital with this friend of yours. When are you going to take care of me?’ she sounded pissed. But selfish and honestly she was being a bitch.
‘I’ll take you out when I can. Stop being so selfish! You know I love you but I care about Niall too. You’re not in my place. You wouldn’t understand. If it annoys you so much than just don’t talk to me.’ My voice got higher.
‘Fine. When you figure things out then come and find me but I’m not promising anything. It’s like Niall is all you think about. Niall here. Niall there. Make up your mind. Me or him?’ I honestly can’t believe she’s taking it that far. It’s been a few weeks. And to tell you the truth getting to know Danielle all that fun. Before I answer her let me tell you a story.
Dani is a great girl. But after I asked her to be my girl, things changed. She’s a total stalker. She follows me everywhere, wants to know where I am, and calls me constantly. I thought it was just a phase but it’s been almost a month now. I realize now how selfish she can be. Truth is I only kept it going because she was an amazing kisser. I may not find another girl anytime soon but I’d rather be single than go out with someone like her.
But she has a point. I haven’t gone out with her in a while. Mel walks in the door and I tell her I’ll be back in about 2 hours. I get up and start for the door. She nods as I go back to the conversation with Dani.
‘Meet me in the park in 15 minutes’ I hang up. I hate having to leave Niall but I love Danielle she may be a total bitch sometimes but it’s only because she cares about me. Right?
Melody’s POV
He is like an angel. Laying there with perfect blonde now kinda brown hair. Looking up at me asking for food. I give him spoon fills but Niall just takes the whole plate. I can tell he’s desperately hungry so I don’t get mad. I look at my watch. 1 o clock in the afternoon. Liam should be getting back soon.
‘Where’s Liam?’ he asks. I don’t get it. I’m here almost every day. Taking care of him, kissing him, teasing him, pulling strands of his hair, caressing his arm, and holding his hand. All he thinks about when he wakes up is Liam. I don’t love Niall, I don’t think I ever will. This is just a phase. I’ve never dated an Irish guy before and when he says my name I feel pleasure. After my last break up I think with Niall I’ll just make it a fling. It’s not like he cares about me.
