Chapter 5: Surgery Day.
Lyla:
Today was the day of my surgery; I was feeling the nerves from the moment I woke up. I turned over to hear Niall lightly snoring; I didn’t want to wake him up so I just kissed him on the forehead and went to take a shower. When I stepped in and let the warm water run down the body was when it actually hit me. I’m going to have surgery today whether or not I like it. The tears started trickling down my face just like the water was on my back. I knew I could cry in here and not have Niall worry about me because he couldn’t hear me.
“Babe, you okay?” He must have just woken up because I could still hear the grogginess in his voice.
“Yeah, I’ll be out in a minute.” I quickly finished my shower and wrapped a towel around my body then stepped out.
“Good morning, love. How are you feeling?” That was one question I bet I would be hearing a great deal of today.
“Yes darling, I’m fine; just ready to get this over with.” I went over and gave him a light, but passionate kiss.
“I love you.” He breathed out while placing his forehead on mine.
"I love you too.” This kid was going to make my heart beat out of my chest before I had a chance to get to the hospital.
I wish I was allowed to eat, but I couldn’t; not until after. I could tell Niall truly loved me because he didn’t eat anything either, and that’s saying something. After we got ready we decided to head over to Harry’s flat for a bit before I had to be at the hospital. When we got there we had the idea that we would go and jump on their bed to wake them up.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!” We were like children, I loved it.
“Go awayyyy.” Harry moaned.
“Five more minutes!” Chloe practically screamed.
“Come on guys, we have to be at the hospital by 11 to check in.” They both started arguing with us, but finally got up and went to shower. I guess Niall went to wake up Louis when the doorbell rang and I went to see who it was.
“Zaynie!”
“Lyla!” He engulfed me in a hug and spun me around. When he set me down I started to feel lightheaded again.
“Hey, you okay?”
“Yeah, just had a headache lately; nothing to worry about.” He hugged me again, this time normally. I missed my best friend; we haven’t been hanging out much lately. That needed to change after the surgery.
“Good morning Lili.” I went up and hugged him too.
"Good morning Lyla. Are you ready for today?” I knew I would be hearing that all day.
“Ready as I’ll ever be.” I reassured him.
It was 10 o’clock and time was ticking. I was extremely nervous that we were going to be late. I couldn’t be late for my surgery.
“Guys! We need to go.” I yelled throughout the house. Niall, Liam, Zayn, and I were lounging on the couch.
“Did you wake Louis up?” I asked Niall.
“Yeah, he should be coming out soon.” As if right on cue he stumbled his way out looking cheekier as ever.
“What’s up with you Lou?” Liam asked, I guess I wasn’t the only one who noticed how weird he was acting.
“Yes lads, I’m just in a great mood today!” Something must be going on with him; we need to get to the bottom of this. Just then Chloe and Harry stumbled out as if something had just been going on. Everyone else looked from one another as if wondering the same thing I was. What was going on today?
At about 10:15 we decided to head to the hospital. Things in the car were silent, and this time it was an awkward silence. I guess we were all a bit nervous. Niall had his hand held on to mine like he wasn’t going to let me go until he necessarily had to. I gave him a squeeze and leaned into his body. As we neared the hospital the jitters in my stomach were moving and grooving.
“Hi yes, Lyla Vanderbilt checking in for surgery.”
“Hello, welcome to the Regency. Fill this out and we’ll be calling you back soon.” The paper had basic information on it; name, birthday, address, reason for coming. I heard Niall’s stomach growl.
“Babe, you can go get food if you want.”
“No, I’m not going to leave you until you go in. I’ll get some later.”
“Okay.” I kissed him on the cheek.
“Lyla Vanderbilt?” That’s me. I got up and hugged everyone, leaving Niall for last.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” We gave one last kiss.
“See you when I get out.” After one more peck I was gone.
“Hi, we're just going to have you change and then we’ll give you anesthesia and you’ll be ready to go.” I took a deep breath and before I knew it I went into the nothingness of my mind.
Niall:
They called Lyla’s name and I knew I would have to let go of her soon. She gave everyone a hug and then finally came to me.
“I love you.” She whispered as if trying to tell herself everything was going to be okay.
“I love you too.” Then we kissed, one of the most passionate kisses I’ve ever had with her. Nothing will compare to the first kiss we shared. For a few minutes, it felt as if we were the only two people left on the planet and this was all we had to live for.
“See you when I get out.” She breathed after we let go and gave one last peck. Then before I knew it she was gone.
I sat down for what felt like an eternity, but in reality it was only five minutes.
“Come on guys, let’s go get food.” Louis recommended, I didn’t jump to the sound of food. For some reason it didn’t seem like anything I wanted.
“Everything is going to be okay bud.” Harry told me, I guess he knew how I was feeling.
“Yeah, it is.”
We ate for about 45 minutes and then went back to the waiting room.
That’s when I heard it, the nurses yelling, “Code Red!”
“Oh no, please don’t let it be Lyla.” I didn’t realize it before but I was crying.
“The patient is having a stroke, we need all hands on deck!”
“Guys, you don’t think it’s Lyla, do you?” But we all knew the answer even if Chloe never asked the question. We were the only people here, how could it possibly be anyone else?
“Please don’t let me lose her.” I was talking to myself, but I knew everyone else was thinking the same thing. The girls had become a big part of our lives, and losing one of them would be detrimental.
I just couldn’t lose Lyla, she is the one. The one and only for me. My princess, my all in all.
