Chapter 19
Niall’s POV
Today is the day Liam and Jade get out of the hospital. The past couple of days have been a blur. Being at the cabin without Liam and Jade has been very quiet. The day Lou, Harry, and I got home we all called Simon to see if he could meet up with us at the cabin today after we picked up Liam and Jade. He quickly agreed and said he had to go because he had a meeting. Paul has been around the cabin a lot lately to make sure no one tried to come back and like kill us.
It was now time to leave and go to the hospital. I hope after today, I never have to see this place again…then I remember some of us will have to come back for check-ups and all of that fun and interesting stuff. I have still been in pain and have been in bed all day and night since I got home. Zayn would usually bring me down some food and the only time I got up was to shower, which was a nightmare or to visit Liam and Jade. Standing in the shower hurts a hell of a lot more than you probably think. Today I finally just said fuck it and laid in the relaxing warm water for a nice bath. It beat standing there in pain so I was perfectly fine with it. Minus standing for too long I have been a little better. As long as I took my medicine I was fine for a while. Like right now, I can’t feel anything from my stomach down.
The ride to the hospital was pretty short and we were there in about ten minutes. The lads and I got out of the car and were immediately surrounded by the paps. Jade and I haven’t quite came out yet but I knew people were starting to figure out we were dating. I knew I had to talk to Jade about it at some point but as for now I just wanted her and Liam to get to the cabin safely and be able to relax for a while. I was also scared of the hate Jade would receive. There was no doubt a lot of people would be hard on her. Our life is like an open book, we have no privacy and I am not quite sure I want to bring her into all of that just yet. I am not sure how she would react to everything. Some would love her, some would hate her. Every move she made would surely be announced to everyone and no one would leave her alone. It was hard enough explaining that it was Liam’s cousin moving in and not some secret girlfriend. However this all goes, I hope it’ll be more good than bad.
We finally were able to get inside of the hospital after passing all of the paps outside and headed straight to the room that I hope to never see again. Once we reached the room Zayn carefully and quietly opened the door to see Jade and Liam was already up and eating breakfast. I was surprised to see Liam up. Usually he is asleep when we get here and he stays asleep until around lunch time. The doctor wasn’t kidding when he said Liam be sleeping an awful lot. We all walk into the room and hand both of them their clothes. The doctor came in and had Louis, since he was the oldest, sign the release papers. Once Louis was finished I helped Jade up and into the bathroom so she could change. Right before I could walk out and leave her to get dressed she stopped me.
“Uh can you um like uh…” I smiled at her and started laughing. I knew she was trying to ask me to help her change but couldn’t make out the words. I love how she will always freeze up and get shy when she is embarrassed, it’s quite cute really. Her legs and stomach was still hurting and she was barely eligible to walk let alone get dressed.
She looked annoyed and turned around to grab her clothes. I turned her back around so she was facing me and took them from her hands. “Sorry, it’s just really cute when you get embarrassed.” I calmed down from my laughing fit and saw she was on the verge of tears. I lifted her chin up and stared into her eyes trying to calm her down somewhat. “I would love to help you.” I gave her a soft gentle kiss on the cheek before helping her take her gown off. She shyly turned away from me as I took her t-shirt out of the bag. I unfolded the shirt before putting it on her. She gently slides her arms into the sleeves and winced in pain. I noticed she had bruises up and down both of the arms. I turn her back around to face me as I lift her right arm up. I place soft kisses on every noticeable bruise and I hear her let out a whimper. I looked up and saw a single tear slide its way down her cheek. I wiped it off and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer.
“Hey, it’s okay babe. He can’t mess with us anymore. Soon enough you will heal and everything will be better.” I gave her a tight hug and she nuzzled her face in my neck and started crying causing my shirt to get wet. We stood like that for about five minutes or so before she calmed down and pulled away. She looked down and noticed she still had no pants on and started blushing. I bent down to pick up her sweatpants and tried to put them on. I noticed she had multiple bruises on the inside of her upper thigh. I knew she had some but I didn’t know that they were that bad. They looked much worse than the ones on her arms. They were all different colors and were a lot bigger. I hadn’t realized I just sat there staring until Jade cleared her throat. I looked up before running my hand over the bruises. I quickly stopped as I noticed how far I travelled up. I shook my head and helped her put her sweatpants on. I stood up and saw she was just standing there awkwardly. I put my hands on her sides and looked into the beautiful brown eyes that I fell in love with the moment I stared into them. She gently wrapped her arms around my neck and stared back at me.
“Everything will be okay. I promise I will never let anyone hurt you again.” I leaned in for a kiss only for her to turn her head. It felt like my heart just dropped and shattered. I hope I didn’t scare her or anything. She looked back at me and I could tell she tried not to cry.
“He may not hurt me again but the memories will never leave and please baby, don’t make a promise you can’t keep.” She looked at me lovingly and I could tell she was hurting inside. She has been hurt and lied to her whole life it doesn’t surprise me that she finds it hard to believe me. She pulled me closer and started playing with my hair. I wrapped arms completely around her waist as she continued to look up at me. I felt one hand leave my hair and slide down to caress my cheek. I smiled and leaned into the touch.
“I will always be here to protect you.” I moved one hand up to cup her cheek. She finally smiled up at me and tried to get level with my height as she stood on her toes and leaned in to give me a short but passionate kiss.
“Now let’s go, I am sure Liam would love to get changed so we can leave.” I let out a small chuckle as I tried to imagine the things going through their heads. Jade and I have been in here for almost 20 minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had some sort of sarcastic remark. I have gotten used to the fact Jade isn’t quite ready for anything. As far as I am concerned, she is still a virgin and wants to wait until the right time and I am in no way going to judge that. I respect her decision and will wait as long as I have to. That however doesn’t stop her at all from teasing. She finds it ‘cute’ when the slightest things affect me in such a way. Though I have gotten used to her teasing nonetheless I still can’t help it and she finds it adorable.
As I am lost in my own thoughts I don’t even realize I was drug out of the bathroom and Liam had already gone in to change with the help of Harry. Just as I expected there was relentless teasing about what Jade and I were doing in the bathroom. I looked over and noticed that Jade was blushing a deep shade of red and tried not to laugh at Lou and Zayn as they were going on and on teasing and tried making sexual noises. Sometimes I question how I got stuck with such weirdo’s and how I am even friends with them. It’s no surprise that all of us have heard Louis, Zayn, Liam, or even Harry in bed; well all of us except Jade, and we all teased them about it so I guess it’s my turn now even if nothing has happened. I smile at the thought of Jade and I alone, feeling every inch of her body, hearing her moaning out in pleasure...What are you doing Niall? You do not need to be having these thoughts right now. I shake my head and try to erase the thoughts.
Jade looks at me lovingly before leaning in and whispering in my ear. “If we haven’t done anything yet and their already teasing, I could only imagine what they do when something does happen.” I shiver as her hot breath tickles my neck before she walks away to grab her clothes that she came here in and her cell phone off of the stand beside the hospital bed. Liam and Harry walk out of the bathroom, both with confused expressions as Louis and Zayn continue their teasing. I roll my eyes and go to help Liam pack up his stuff so we can leave.
Once everyone is ready we all walk out of the door and head downstairs, well all of us except Liam and Jade. They had to sit in the wheelchairs while the nurses took them outside. Thank god I won’t be back here for a while. We finally were able to push past the paps again and got everyone in the car. Zayn drove while Liam was in the passenger seat trying to go to sleep, Louis and Harry were behind them and in the last seat all the way in the back was Jade and I. Jade lied down and rested her head in my lap while I played with her hair. Cher had called Harry yesterday and asked if they could meet up later today. Since then, Harry hasn’t been able to shut up about it. Louis seemed to be a tad annoyed but Zayn and I just laughed it off. Harry finally seems to be happy and I am most definitely happy for him as well. Liam had decided against bringing Danielle out to Hawaii. He said he doesn’t want her to come out when all he does is sleep which is understandable but I think he needs Dani most right now. Louis and Eleanor still aren’t talking and all Louis really does anymore is keep to his self. Zayn, well Zayn is more complicated. He misses Perrie a lot but I as well as the rest of the lads think he is better off without her. He just needs to realize it. I keep saying that one day we will all be happy together and there will be no problems or drama but it’s hard telling when that day will be here. I hope it is very soon.
I look down at Jade to see she is already staring at me. “Whatcha thinking about love?” She asked sweetly.
“About what’s going to happen from now on.” She looks at me confused before sitting up beside me.
“What do you mean?” I pick her up and sit her on my lap so she is facing me before letting my fingers play in her hair freely. She wraps arms around my neck and rests her forehead onto mine. I move a little so she is able to wrap her legs around my waist.
“What the future has in store for you and I. What the future has in store for the lads, for our band. Pretty much I am thinking about what will happen from here on out.” She places a gentle kiss on my lips, then cheek, and then moves down near my jaw.
“Well, what do you want to happen?” I look at her confused. I have never put much thought into my future really. I know I want this band together for a really long time. I know I want to get married and have a family at some point in time. My life would be complete and perfect.
“Well I want the band to be together for as long as possible. I want to get married and have a beautiful family in the future. I want to be the perfect boyfriend, husband, father, and even grandfather.” I smile cheekily at her. Her face lights up and we both lean into kiss. I bite down on her bottom lip making her gasp and giving me full access. I quickly let my tongue enter her mouth as we both fight for dominance. After a few she let me win and I let my tongue explore every inch of her mouth. After a while we both pulled apart gasping for air. When our breathing was back to speed she rested her forehead on mine again.
“Well I am jealous of your future wife, she will be very lucky. You are already the perfect boyfriend.” I let out a small smile until I realized what she said. My smile turned into a frown and she looked at me concerned. “What’s wrong?”
I stared up at her and saw worry written all over her. “You said you were jealous of my future wife. Who said I wasn’t thinking of you when I said I wanted to get married?” She looked at me confused before her face lit up.
“Baby, you still have to pop the question. Besides, I am surprised you’re not sick of yet. I hope one day, that lucky girl is me.” I smile brightly and give her another long passionate kiss. When we break apart I stare into those deep brown memorizing eyes and realize I am ready to tell her how I really feel.
“I could never get sick of you. I love you.” I whisper in her ear. I lean back to look at her face and its like she completely froze up. Shit did I say that to soon? “Shit, Shit, Shit…” I mumble under my breath. Jade moves her finger under my chin and lifts my head up like I do to her.
“I love you too.” My face lights up and she flashes me that million dollar smile before Zayn clears his throat. I look to see Zayn, Harry, and Lou smirking at us.
“Yes Zayn?” Jade asked innocently.
“Sorry to ruin your little moment but are either of you lovebirds hungry?” I looked around and noticed that we were at McDonalds near our cabin. Jade started jumping up and down on my lap and nodded eagerly. “I take that as a yes?” Zayn asked sounding amused.
“Do you have any idea how much hospital food sucks? I am starving.” I can’t help but to break down into fits of laughter. Jade looked at me stuck out her bottom lip pouting. It’s things like this that gets me. When she pouts and sticks her bottom lip out, or when she bites her bottom lip while trying to concentrate on something or when she is embarrassed. I swear this girl will be the death of me. I kiss her bottom lip and she looks down at me. I move down towards her neck and leave gentle kisses until I reach her soft spot and started sucking. She let out a soft moan. I smile and lean back in my seat…well tried to. Jade had other plans. Her fingers started playing in my hair and tugging at it every once in a while. She leaned down and crashed her lips on mine. She slightly opened her mouth and I immediately shoved my tongue through while it fought with hers. She pulled on my hair and I let out a soft moan trying to stay quiet so the others didn’t hear. Though, I don’t think it worked out because I heard them start laughing. Jade pulled away and smirked at me before getting off my lap and reached out to grab the food that Harry was trying to give us. She took the bag and moved to the window on the other side of the car. I let out a frustrated sigh and waited as we drove back to the house.
Not five minutes later we were parked in front of the cabin. I don’t get how this thing is a cabin. It is huge! Zayn lightly shook Liam to wake him up. Louis and Harry had already taken off and went to unlock the doors. Jade got out of the car and tried walking to the door but instead I snuck up behind her, picked her up and carried her bridal style into the house. Even though it hurt, I didn’t care.
She giggled softly and wrapped her arms around my neck with the McDonalds bag still in hand. Since both Jade and I are supposed to be on bed rest Zayn had made sure our food was in a different bag. He has barely let me do anything the past few days but I can’t complain. It has felt good just to relax in bed. Before I started walking downstairs Louis walked up and tapped me on the shoulder I turned around and he looked really upset about something. Jade got down and quickly kissed me on the cheek before walking off. Well this can’t be good. Before Louis or I could say anything Zayn yelled at us telling us that Simon would be here soon. I quickly nodded before Louis grabbed my hand and rushed me to his room.
Once we were in his room he closed the door and locked it. I looked at him confused before he fell to his knees and cried. I rushed to his side and sat him on my lap. After about ten minutes he finally calmed down enough to talk.
“I love Eleanor!” He shouted out. I looked at him dumbfounded. Everyone knew he loved her so why is it all of a sudden a big deal? Before I was able to say anything he got up and looked at me. “I love Eleanor but with her gone my mind is fucking with me. Harry kissed me and now, now I-I don’t know what to do!” Wait so that kiss was more than an experiment?
“I-I am confused Louis, what are you talking about?” I asked calmly. I stood up and brought him into a hug while he cried causing my shirt to get wet again.
“Welcome to m-my world. I-I love El b-and Harry k-kissed me the other d-day and now I-I don't know w-what to do. I-I don't like him l-like that and I feel bad a-and I don't even know m-mate.” I could barely tell what he was saying as he continued to cry and it made completely no since. I felt useless. I didn’t know what to say or do.
“Maybe you just miss Eleanor, Lou. Go call her and see if you two can work things out. If you’re still confused later I’ll be in my room.” He pulled away and I smiled shyly at him. He nodded his head and went to get his phone. I walked out the door and headed to the room Jade and I shared. I really hope El and Lou work things out. I know he misses her terribly and after a break up your mind really starts messing with you. I know from personal experiences. I walked into the room and saw Jade lying down on the bed eating. I climb in beside her and she smiles up at me. I start eating my food in silence. I look over and see Jade just staring at me. I give her a confused look before she speaks up.
“When you’re done will you go get me a bath going pretty please?” She gave me her best puppy dog look that she knew I couldn’t resist. I nod my head and finish eating before heading to the bathroom. I hear Jade climbing out of bed and walking to the dresser to get some clothes. I turn on the water and grab her shampoo and conditioner out of the closet as well as some stuff for a bubble bath. Once the tub was filled up Jade walked in and smiled at me giving me a kiss on the corner of my mouth. Tease. I turned around to let her undress and once I heard her get in the water I turned back around. I pulled up a small chair and sat it on the side of the tub behind Jade. She gave me a confused look before I put my hands on her shoulders and started massaging. She relaxed into my touch and let out a soft moan. After about ten minutes of massaging I finally picked up her shampoo bottle and squirted some onto my hand and started washing her hair. She stayed in the bath for about 45 minutes before the bubbles started disappearing making it easy to see in the tub. She ushered me out of the room while she got out and got dressed. I climbed into bed exhausted and turned the tv on. After a while I felt the bed dip down beside. I crawled over wrapped my arms around Jade’s waist pulling her closer to me. Not five minutes later Zayn rushed into our room to tell us Simon was here. Both Jade and I got up out of bed and headed up the stairs to see Liam, Louis, Harry, Simon, and Paul all sitting on the couch waiting for us. I grabbed Jade's hand and walked over to sit beside Liam with Jade on my lap.
Simon stood up and started talking first....

o Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars
I had terrible writers block while writing this chapter so I hope it didn’t suck that much. I thought about ending the book there when they are talking about the future but I thought that would a terrible ending so I didn’t bother. This is coming close to an end though and I will be starting book 2 soon…If anyone is interested in reading it that is. Thank you for all the votes, that means a lot(:
Have a good day. Bye <3
