*Niall's POV*

I smiled brightly and ran a hand through my hair.

'You know.. You weren't supposed to hear that..' I whispered, lightly. I could feel the awkwardness in the room, so I let out a gentle laugh. I watched Emily blush and she moved to face the ceiling.

It was quiet for a while and I didn't know what to say. I occasionally glanced over to Emily, who was obviously deep in thought. Her leg looked really awkward, trapped in that contraption that kept it straight. The room was dull, but pretty considering it was a hospital room. She had some flowers in a vase on her bedside table surrounded by cards and a get well soon balloon. Her eyes looked puffy and red, like she had been crying and really, she looked unwell. The silence was broken when she let out a sigh and began to speak.

'Nialler.. Please let me explain myself..'


*Emily's POV*

I explained everything to him, in detail.

'...All I wanted to do, was get back to you..' I said, struggling to sit up and adjust my pillows.

Niall was silent as I fiddled with the pillows to prop myself up. A nurse walked through the double swing doors and looked concerned.

'Oh, I'm sorry.. Have I interrupted something Ms. Phillips?' The nurse looked between Niall and I, and gave her a gentle smile.

'No, its absolutely fine. My boy- I mean, Mr Horan is here to visit me.' I couldn't call him my boyfriend, because he wasn't that anymore.

'Nice to meet you Mr Horan..' Niall gave one of his winning smiles and the nurse turned back to me. 'Ms. Phillips, I will be bringing in your lunch in a minute and the doctor will also be visiting to discuss the safety precautions about the operation..' I gave a nod, but Niall spoke up.

'Operation? What operation? I thought she would just be in a cast and be sent home..' Fear and concern spread across Niall's face.

'Mr Horan, Ms. Phillips has broken her leg in three places. We have to operate to repair the bones. But if this operation doesn't go as planned, there are possibl-Look, I can't say anymore. Please wait for the doctor..' The nurse nodded and left, quickly returning with my lunch, which was chicken soup and dipping bread.

Niall turned to me once the nurse had left, 'Why didnt you tell me?' He whispered, tears filling his eyes.

'Look, I didn't want to make you feel obliged to stay with me because you feel sorry for me. Niall, I love you.. But I want you to stay with me because you want to, not because you feel sorry for me..' Niall was looking at his hands and ran a hand through his hair.


*Niall's POV*

I couldn't leave her.. No matter how much she hurt me, no matter what she did, no matter how much I told myself it would be for the best, no matter how much other people told me she wasnt worth it, I couldn't leave her. She means too much to me.

I stood up and sat on the edge of Emily's bed, bringing my hand up to gently stroke her cheek. I then gently leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.

'Your boyfriend and Nurse Nialler, reporting for duty..' She lent up and we shared a passionate kiss.
