Foolish~10

*PRESENT DAY REESE*

I blinked my eyes open quickly.

It was incredibly bright.

Then my vision clears.

I see the ends of my feet poking up from a hospital bed...?

Oh god. Why am I here?! It's public everyone can see me!!

"Whoa whoa don't freak out love. I'm here" I hear an Irish accent.

I then realized I was almost hyperventilating.

"OW" I feel a sharp pain in my side.

"Shhhh calm down. You can't be under a lot of stress. You're still healing" Niall sits on the bed next to me.

What the hell?

"Why are you here?" I ask.

"I knew something was wrong. So I shot out here"

"No. You're here. For Harry. To get revenge" I start squirming in my bed.

Dagger pain all over my body takes over my senses.

"No I'm not. Harry.. Doesn't know I'm here" he says.

And I am soothed.

"I told you.. I am worthless. I am not worth your time. Let alone getting me to the hospital. I deserved every punch and kick thrown at me".

*NIALLS POV*

I can't believe she just said that.

I grab her hands to hold them and look directly in her eyes. But my eyes stop at her arms.

"Re..." I start.

Scars and cuts line her arms. She immediately jerks them back.

"Oh my god. It's nothing"

"REESE! It's not nothing!! You are so precious and..... I don't see why you did this...." I say. Stomach falling through my feet.

Her eyes welling with tears.

"Hey please don't cry. I'm here. To help you" I say cuffing her cheek. But she jerks back as if I'm hitting her.

"Just lay back. Try to rest" I take her hand. I begin to sing random words as her breathing slows.

I had been up with her all night. I begin to fade myself....

~~~~~

The hospital room is dim when I wake from my nap. I lift my head and I look up but.... Reese is gone...

"Reese?" I call.

I hear metal clashing behind me. The doctors counter in the corner.

Reese is over there.

Shit she can't be out of bed. What is she doing.

"Reese. You can't be up love"

I get up and walk to her but she doesn't turn.

She is shaking tremendously.

What the heck?

I lightly turn her shoulder towards me.

Her eyes are red with tears.

Hair nappy and flushed face.

"Reese answer me. What's wrong" I say. She doesn't meet my eyes.

"You're here to kill me." She says.

"What the hell Reese. Of course I'm not!" I say.

She pushes me and I'm caught off guard as I stumble backwards.

"I'll do it for you... It's okay I've been trying to do this for months anyways" she grabs a hand full of shots and begins to run.

"NO RE STOP RIGHT NOW!!! YOU DESERVE AND NEED TO LIVE" I run after her.

A nurse stops and gasps at the sight.

"OW MY SIDE" she whines and fell to her knees.

She sees me run towards her so she holds the needled syringes towards her chest.

I lunge at her. Smacking her arm away just seconds before they reach her chest.

"No!!!! I WANT TO DIE NIALL!!! IT WILL MAKE EVERYONES LIFE EASIER AND BETTER I DESERVE THIS!!! YOU AND HARRY AND EVERYONE WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME ANYMORE!!! IF YOURE MY FRIEND LIKE YOU SAY YOU WILL LET ME DIE" she screams.

I'm frozen. Tears plunging from my eyes. Her doctor storms in the room gabbing the needle in her arm to knock her out.

Nurses and him pick her up off the floor and put her back in bed.

I don't move.

Her words ring in my head "if you're my friend you will let me die". No one should let those words come from their mouth. Let alone cross the mind.

Reese is screwed up because of this stupid ass world we live in.

"Son. If you weren't here. We would have lost her. She is so lucky to have you here. The reputation media has created for her, has gotten to her head. She believes what they tell her she is..." He states.

He is more than correct.

"Did she really cheat on your band mate like that?" He asks.

"No sir. It was all a mistake"
