They Don't Know About Us

Don't Let Me Go - Chapter 20

*PAIGE'S POV*

The weeks we have to spend in this god for saken hospital are the longest. The boys have yet again postponed their tour. We keep telling them that they should go and we'll just meet them wherever they are once we've been released but no, they're having none of it "I'm not taking my eyes off you ever again!" Niall says every time I ask him about it. Becky's still recovering in the ICU but me and Shelby repeatedly get told off by the grouchy nurses for sneaking into one another's room in 'our condition' I just wanna strangle them when they say that! Do they seriously wanna keep reminding us about it, even though its hard to forget. Every night. Every night, those memories enter my dreams and shatter any happy moment inside. 

Me and Shelby have always been close but never as close as we are now, after everything that's happened, we just feel like we owe each other our lives I guess. Which is right, in every way possible. We did save each other. So, after hours of persuading the doctors (and a bit of persuasion from the boys as well), they allowed us to have a double room. Which includes two hospital beds, four chairs and one extra single bed. Louis and Niall have to top and tail on that bed nearly every night when their not sleeping on the chairs on being forced to leave. That's not happened so far though. 

Liam, Danielle, Chloe and Harry walk into our room as we're in the middle of playing a surprisingly humorous game of 'eye spy' "Don't ask!" Louis laughs as he catches their weird looking expressions. "Okay then.. we won't!" Liam replies, winking towards him. "So how are you guys feeling?" Harry asks curiously, keeping his tough arm round Chloe's body. "Healthy as a horse...well sorta..." Shelby replies before she bursts out laughing for no apparent reason. She's nearly back to normal. "Ow! Shelby please stop! Laughing hurts!" I stutter in between the painful laughing. "Tell me about it but I can't stop, it feels great to laugh! You know it, I know it, they know it!" She more or less shouts. All I can do is laugh. But in no time, everyone is laughing along with us. During all of our laughter we didn't notice that someone is standing directly under the door frame. "Hello Doctor, how are things?" Niall asks politely. "Good morning Niall and everyone. I just thought that I'd come and let you know that you'll be getting discharged in two days." He says confidently. "Seriously!" I reply."Yes. Your wounds are healing nicely and shouldn't be a danger to you. As long as you keep them clean then you should be fine." He clarifies before nodding his head and leaving. "Did you hear that! That means you can come on tour with us in a few days! We can't wait to show you America, Australia, Brazil, Germany...everywhere." Niall sings, kissing my lips and my stomach. I smile. When I found out about the baby I was still toying with the idea of whether to keep it or not but after seeing what Niall just did and how attached he's became towards he or her. The decision is obvious. 

Everyone has left. The boys have gone to re arrange their tour to available dates. Chloe has gone over to Danielle's for the night and me and Shelby. Well, we're entertaining over selves. "Oh c'mon that sounds nothing like me!" I say, half shouting half laughing at her impression of me. "Wanna play ball? Fine! Just remember you asked for it!" I reply. Hitting her with my impression. Then, a nurse walks through the door sternly. Taking time to state at me and Shelby. "Can we help you at all?" I ask confused. "Yes. As a matter of fact, you can." she snarls before jumping over to Shelby's bed and wrapping her hands around her delicate neck. "No!" I scream, wrapping the wires, which hold me onto the bed, from my body and jumping onto the attackers back. With the beeping noise constantly appearing from the machine and my wounds screaming in agony this isn't exactly an easy mission. "Get off her you psychotic freak! Nurse! Doctor! Anyone!" I scream over and over again. "This is for my daughter!" The attacker mumbles before pushing me off her back. I can't tell if Shelby's breathing or not.
