Snow White and the Five Dwarfs

I jerked awake and looked across the room.
Shit.
Hospital.
I look down and realize the hospital gown I'm wearing, the plug in my arm, transporting morphine into my veins.
Still jittery, I look over to a doctor who wakes when he sees me.
"Ah, Ms. White." He yawns and I blink.

I stay quiet.
"I'm sorry to tell you you have broken some bones we have repaired. You might have a slight headache in the next couple days and you will have to take some medicine to ease the back pain." He smiled kindly at me.

Raspily, I reply, "Did I fall off a balcony?"
"Yes." He nods.
"Now go on, your boyfriend is waiting for you."

"Boyfriend?" I ask.

He nods and lets me go after I dress in a simple white shirt, jeans, and a sweatshirt. The flats are okay.

Ugh, boyfriend? Who brought me here and why?

I silently pad down the hallway and see a guy sitting on a seat, thumbing through a magazine. He has ruffled blonde hair and blue eyes that are barely seeable under his eyelashes that are halfway closed.

"Mr. Horan, she's here."

"Thanks." He nods at the nurse and grins at me.
God, what the fuck?

"You have a nice day, dear." The nurse smiles at me. I almost want to flip on my knees and beg "DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME" But I decide against it.

We silently pad down the hallway until he clears his throat and says, "I think it's about time I gave you some answers."

"Who are you!?" I blurted out.
"I'm Niall. Niall Horan." He grinned.

"What's your name?"

"Snow."
"Snow what?"
"Snow White."

He stares at me for a second and laughs.
"Don't even try to be funny by asking where my 7 dwarfs are. It's not fucking funny." I snap.


His eyebrows rise uncertainly.
"Okay. Sorry. Not funny."

I bite my lip and look at him.
"Why are you helping me?"

"Well, my bandmates and I found you lying on the concrete in front of a mansion in a pool of blood. 1 hour later you were in the hospital and the doctor remarked you had a lot of bruises and scars not caused by the fall."

"Err.. I.." I stammered when the events came rushing back to me. Suddenly, I fidgeted and fell straight into his arms.

Wait.. what?!

"Hey. Hey. It's alright. Don't cry." Niall said soothingly and rubs circles into my back. It's only then I realize I'm sobbing into his sweater.

"I - I - I just.." I gasp.

"Calm down, you're alright, beautiful."

I sniffled and asked softly, "Why are you helping me?"

After an awkward pause, he rubs his arm and murmurs uncomfortably, "It seemed like the right thing to do."
