I Won't Let Go
Chapter ten
Jess. P.O.V
I drove to the airport with this heavy feeling in my stomach. Niall was holding my hand the whole way there and wouldn’t take his eyes off of me. He kept bringing my hand up to his lips and leaving little kisses on it. He would normally stare at me for a while, kiss my hand, squeeze it tightly and then just stare out the window.
I know that we would be super busy and even if he was in Ireland we would barely get to see each other and he knows that too, but it was still a very sad ride, so I decided to spruce it up. I turned on ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and Niall just looks at me and laughs.
The whole rest of the drive we just sing along to throwback jams before we pull up to the airport. I get to drive all the way up to the run way to avoid paparazzi. I put the car in park and we both just sit there for a couple of seconds.
Finally Niall gets out of the car and I follow him. He walks over and just takes me into his embrace. He hugs me really tight and I just hug back as tight as I can. We stand like this for about a minute before he kisses my forehead and walks over to get his bag out of the car. He grabs it and slings it over his shoulder and walks back over to me.
“Oh come on Niall!” Someone yells from the plane but I wasn’t paying attention.
He takes me in his arms one last time and we lock lips. He pulls away.
“Please go to the doctor’s and text me the whole time I am gone, I have wi-fi on the plane so we can text. And don’t worry, in a little less than two months we will get to see each other again, it will go by quickly” He says trying to cheer me up but his smile is so fake but he tried.
“Bye babe, ill text you!”
And with that he was gone. I got in my car and just watched his plane leave for the runway.
After I couldn’t see his plane anymore I pulled out my phone and dialed my doctor’s number.
“Dr. Bruce’s office, this is Donna, how can I help you today?”
“Hey Donna, it’s Jessica Reilly, is Leslie busy today?”
“Oh hi Ms. Reilly, I don’t think she is but let me double check, I am going to put you on hold for a second.”
“Okie dokie”
I sit and listen to Sweet Home Alabama for like 30 seconds before Donna is back on the line.
“Ms. Reilly, she can take you anytime this morning, when would you like to come in?”
“I am currently at the airport, I can be there in like 30 minutes, is that okay?”
“Absolutely! I will let her know!”
“Alright, thanks Donna”
“Mhm, no problem hun. Buh-bye, see you soon.”
I hang up and turn on my favorite band other than One Direction on. The song ‘House of Gold’ by Twenty One Pilots comes on and I am off.
“She asked me son when I grow old, will you buy me a house of gold…”
I just listen to Twenty One Pilots the whole drive to Dr. Bruce’s office, not even noticing my phone was being blown up. I pull into the parking lot and park my car and look at my phone.
3 text messages from Niall.
N: Miss you already babe.
N: The sky is really pretty, but not as pretty as you.
N: Let me know what the doctor says please, I am worried.
I decide not to text him back yet. I put my phone in my pocket and get out of my car and walk into the building. I walk up to check in.
“Ms. Reilly! Always good to see you! How’s the team looking this year? Are you guys ready for the World Cup?” Donna loves soccer and never wants to stop asking questions.
“We are ready as we can be but still room to improve as always” I smile at her.
“Alright dear, I will let Leslie know you are here, please have a seat. Oh and take a look at the People Magazine, you’re in it!”
I walk over and take a look at the magazine. On the cover is a picture of Kendell Jenner but then on the side is a little picture of me and Niall with the caption “Niall Horan’s New Bae?” I hate that word, bae, it’s so cheesy. I open to the page we are on only to look at the pictures, I didn’t want to read what they had to say because chances are most of it is made up.
“Ms. Reilly?”
I stand and follow the nurse into a little examination room where they make me sit on the examination table. I hate the stupid paper they have on them.
“Alright Ms. Reilly, before Dr. Bruce comes in, what seems to be the problem today? I see you have a yellowish tint to your skin, is there anything else?” the nurse pulls out her clipboard ready to take down notes. She already wrote down my skin tint.
“Well my whole body just aches and not like the normal exercise aches, but just aches. Also when I have run I have sharp pains in my back but they are only in little outbursts, not the whole time. I have been to the chiropractor for my back but it didn't help.”
“Okay, I am going to have you change into this gown while I go get the doctor. Are you having any other problems with any joints or anything? Anymore concussions recently?”
“Nope”
“Alright, here is your gown and the doctor will be here shortly”
“Thanks”
I hate hospital gowns, I have warn them too many times and they always smell and it is always cold in doctor’s offices but as a professional athlete I am obligated to go to the doctor’s for every little thing that is wrong. I am already late on coming to the doctor’s; I should’ve gone like a week ago. Suddenly there’s a knock on the door.
“Hey Jess! Always, well not always, but it is nice seeing you! How have you been? I see that you are seeing Niall Horan, lucky you!”
“Ahh Leslie! I’ve been pretty good and yeah I am officially Niall Horan’s “bae” as People Magazine is calling me. He is wonderful though but I won’t be seeing him for like two months,” I say with a sad look at the end.
“Well hopefully we can get you out of here quick today and get you all taken care of. I am going to ask you to lay down on your stomach so I can poke at your spine a little bit.”
I lay there just staring at the counter that has all the cotton balls, cotton swabs, band-aids, etc. all the doctor things. Leslie puts on gloves and the nurse is back in the room again with a clipboard, which isn’t normal but maybe she is new and is taking notes.
“Alright Jess, tell me if I hurt you when I poke you in certain spots”
I just nod my head, just now noticing how sleepy I am.
She goes down my spine and there was only one spot that hurt when she poked it but I heard her say there was a bruise there, no figure. I also heard her say something about a little bump in one spot. The nurse jotted down every single word that was said. After she was done poking at my back she took some blood and my temperature.
“Alright, I don’t want to freak you out but do you have time for a quick MRI? I want to get a scan of your head and back just to take a look. You know I always have to check you for concussions because you are prone to them,” she laughs.
“Yeah, I was just going to go home and nap but it can wait. Do you guys still have my slippers here so I don’t have to put my flip flops back on, my feet are cold.”
“Already had nurse Alex grab them for you, here you go,”
She hands me my classic pink bunny slipper, I come here so much that they have slippers for me, I feel like all athletes who come here have a pair here. I slip them on and hop off the table to make the walk to the MRI machine.
“Alright Jess, this shouldn’t take long so you can go home and nap your little heart out. You can even take a little snooze in the machine. You know the drill, arms to your side, legs straight, back of the head flat down, and no moving.”
I nod and hop up on the little bed. The MRI technicians make sure everything is a go and I am off. I do end up dozing off and Leslie has to shake me lightly to wake me up. I hop off the machine and the nurse hands me my clothes.
“I will call you if we find anything Jess! Have a good nap!”
And with that I walk out, go change and I am back in my car. Before I leave I decide to text Niall.
J: Hey babe, just got done at the doctors. Had to get probably my 15th MRI. How’s the flight?
I get a text back sooner than I anticipated, I hadn’t even gotten my seatbelt on yet.
N: What did you need to get an MRI for? And you know how plane rides are. FYI, you need to get better at texting me back haha, I get antsy if I don’t hear from you in two hours unless you have a game or practice ahah. ESPECIALLY THE DOCTORS!
J: Not sure what I had the MRI for but I am kind of freaked out, my doctor wasn’t acting normal. And sorry, I am just really sleepy. We were up late and someone woke me up early ;)
N: Go home and take a nap and I will take a nap too now finally. Wish I could be cuddling with you.
J: I wish you could too. Can we skype tonight?
N: Yeah, I have time tonight, especially with having jet lag. Alright well I am napping, drive home safe.
J: Will do hot stuff.
