-Niall's POV-

(A/N: Oo, yes, finally a Niall POV!)

I opened my eyes and smiled instantly as I felt Jasmine's hair on my neck. She said she would stay with me for the next few days, which I'm super happy about. I wish she could stay with me always.

Jasmine was on my chest with her injured hand stretched out so she wouldn't hurt it. I felt a pit grow in my stomach again. I can't believe I hurt her. It was an accident, but I still felt so bad. I hated seeing her in pain. It was my fault.

I saw Jasmine's eyes flutter open. She looked up at me and smiled. Butterflies immediately erupted in my stomach. She is the love of my life.

"Good morning, baby,"she mumbled up at me before resting her head on my chest again.

I kissed the top of her head. "How are you feeling?"I asked quietly.

She inspected her hand and replied,"It hurt a bit overnight but the painkillers helped a lot."

I sighed. "I'm sorry I put you through this."

Jasmine sat up in the bed and rolled her eyes. "Niall, I told you it's okay. A million times to be exact. So just shhh." She put a finger against my lips and I pretended to bite it, making her quickly move her hand away.

I laughed and said,"Well, I'm going to go shower and then get us some breakfast, okay?"

"Okay, thank you babe,"she smiled. God, her smile makes my heart happy.

I went and showered and got ready for the day and when I came back into the room, I saw that Jasmine had fallen asleep again. The medications must make her tired.

I walked over to the bed and gave her forehead a kiss before going to get breakfast. Of course I went to Jasmine's favourite place, the Beachwood Cafe.

It was quite early so there weren't many people around or in the cafe. I ordered takeout for Jasmine and I, and as I waited for the food to be made, I saw a familiar face sitting at a table.

Harry smiled up at me from his coffee and waved me over.

I sat across from him. "Harold, great to see you,"I grinned.

"You too, man. How's Jasmine? I meant to text her earlier when I saw her tweet but I was in a meeting,"Harry said.

"She's okay,"I replied sheepishly.

Harry furrowed his eyebrows. "What even happened?"

"A little ice skating accident,"I mumbled, looking out the window. This is so embarrassing.

Harry chuckled lightly. "Wow. Well tell her I hope she gets well soon."

I nodded,"Sure thing."

"Everything going good between you two?"he asked, wrapping his hands around his cup of coffee.

I found myself grinning as I replied. "Yeah, everything's amazing. I love her so much, Harry."

"That's good. But don't break her heart, Niall. She doesn't deserve that." His gaze was cold, something that I don't see very often. It made me feel a bit on edge.

"Wh- What do you mean?"I asked, letting out a chuckle to try to lighten the mood.

Harry tilted his head. "Come on, man. You know you have commitment issues. You break up with every girl you're dating for the littlest things."

I felt my face go warm. "Oh... That."

"Don't hurt her, Niall. I talked her into giving you a chance. You better not blow it. She deserves the very best, and you better be that for her."
