They Don't Know About Us

She's The One - Chapter 19

*PAIGE'S POV*
It was good to see everyone again. I've been unconscious for days and can't remember anything in-between. Thankfully. Niall stares at my hand which he caresses repeatedly, clutching it tightly. "How's Shelby?" I ask curiously. Hoping she's okay and recovering like me. Although there's some damage that doctors and Niall can't take away. "She's errr...she's fine. She's in the room next door." He replies with a smile but dodging my gaze. What's wrong with him? I nod, happy that she's okay. After about five minutes of awkward silence I get to a point where I nearly burst. I've had days filled with silence and I've figured that its now one of my fears. "Niall? Baby, what's wrong?" I mumble, a crease appearing on my worried forehead. He shakes his head and blinks his eyes repeatedly, refusing to tell me. Even though it sends shooting pains up my bruised arm, I lift it up and stroke his cheek. He leans into it, seeking comfort "Please...please just tell me Niall. I'm okay, you're okay. We're all okay." Suddenly I feel terrible, Becky! I forgot about Becky! She got shot and...she was so still. Lifeless still. "Oh my god! Becky! Is she okay? Please tell me she's not..." I disturbed by Nialls' shaking head "She's not good babe. She's in surgery as we speak but...but that's not why I'm upset." He explains, finally meeting my eyes but breaking down soon after. I attempt numerous things to stop him but nothing seems to work. "Okay Niall, you're scaring me now. Please just tell me! If you love me you'd tell me!" I exclaim, taking long deep breaths. The machine I'm hooked up to begins to beep when my heart begins to beat faster than normal. I ignore it. "You're pregnant Paige! This whole time, ever since we slept together! You having to go through all this is bad enough but a baby, it's just....heartbreaking for me to talk and think about. I've been trying to get my head round it for days but I couldn't! Not until you woke up!" He stops suddenly and notices that I'm crying. "Oh shit! I'm so sorry babe. I didn't say how I was meant too but yeah you're pregnant.." he finishes his point and gently wraps his arms around me. 

"Wh-what are we going to do? You and the boys have got the tour to finish?" I mumble. I'm worried about how calm I am about all this. I guess I've sort if known in a way. My first time and I'm pregnant...kinda poetic. Luckily I'll be finishing college in a few weeks and I've already received a job as a make-up artist. One Directions make-up artist. So I'll be okay in that department. "We've postponed it for a couple of days while you all get better. Your parents came by a few hours ago and I know you should've told them but I told them you're pregnant...I only told them and surprisingly they were okay with it I guess.." He explains to me slowly. I look at him confusingly "What do you mean by okay?" I ask, worried that he's underestimating my parents reactions. "I mean, they nodded and said that I was a good man. That you had a good, stable career and a house that was completely paid for so.." He tells me before shrugging his shoulders, smiling and brushing my hair away from my face. I look into his eyes with a grin "What do you mean a house?" His grin appears bigger than mine, as if he's ready to blurt out some big secret. "I might have bought us a house in Mullingar...it's a nice big house with enough room for all of us!" He says happily. I scream happily and kiss his lips passionately. Our first kiss for what seems like months. "Wait!" I say before pulling away gently "Don't you think it's too soon?" I ask curiously. Niall shrugs his shoulders "There's no time like the present!" He sings back to me. I smile again, but suddenly Zayn charges through the door "Becky's going to be okay!" He screams at the top of his voice before Niall jumps up and gives him a bro hug. Then Mike, Becky's brother, charges into the room worriedly. "I'm popular today!" I say to myself before giving him a chance to speak. "I'm glad you guys are okay Paige but is Becky okay?" He asks seriously, looking towards Zayn. I had no idea she told him about her and Zayn. Actually, she probably didn't. He probably found out on the news "She's fine! Her room is a few doors down. Wanna come see her? The nurse said she'll be awake soon!" Zayn sings again, a grin spread across his restless face. Mike nods and follows Zayn out of the room. 

When I thought me and Niall could have some time alone. Someone slowly opens the door. "Louis! How's Shelby? And Liam?" I ask. After seeing Harry and Chloe earlier I knew they were okay but I didn't see Liam and to be honest I was kinda worried about him, he understands me. He's basically my best friend, like all them. "Liam's fine. He went to pick up Danielle. Shelby? Why don't you asked yourself?" Louis says happily before Shelby rolls into the room, sitting uncomfortably in a wheelchair. "Shelby!" I shout with a smile pulled across my face. "Paige!" She shouts back, mirroring my expression. She stands up slowly, with the help of Louis and Niall, and gently hugs my damaged body "Congratulations by the way!" She whispers in my ear.
