-Niall's POV-

Before I had even got my car started, the ambulance was speeding away. I quickly started my car and raced after it.

I pulled into the hospital's parking lot and ran inside. It wasn't busy at all in the hospital which was good. It meant that they would be able to help justice right away. I spoke to the lady at the front desk and she told me that I wouldn't be able to see Justice until the doctor had examined her. Since she got to the hospital about 5 minutes ago, the lady said it could be a while. I groaned and plopped down onto a chair in the waiting room.

23 agonizing minutes later, and there was still no news. I heard the hospital doors open and someone call my name.

"Niall?"

I turned around in my chair.

"Cher!"

Cher walked over and sat down in the chair opposite me.

"Have you heard anything? Is she okay?"

"No, the doctor still hasn't come out yet. I don't kn-"

But just then one of the doors opened from one of the rooms and a doctor came out. He started walking our direction. I sat up straighter in my chair expecting him to talk to us but he passed right by and went to the front desk. Of course. I slumped back down into my chair.

I heard him ask something to the lady at the front desk and heard her respond with,

"Over there."

I looked over and saw her pointing at me. I glanced at Cher but she was looking at her phone. I turned back and saw the doctor come back over to us.

"Are you Niall?" he asked. Cher looked up.

"Yeah," I responded standing up.

"Well I just got done examining Justice in there and she's going to be okay. She seems to be suffering from a pretty bad concussion. Do you have any idea what could have happened?"

Cher spoke up.

"I do. When we were in gym today, she got hit in the face with a football. It pretty much knocked her off her feet."

"That would definitely be the reason why. Well she's going to need to take it easy for the next few weeks. No rough physical or mental activity. I'll write her a doctors note so her teachers understand."

"Can I see her?" I asked.

"Yes. She might be sleeping when you go in but you are allowed to see her."

"Cher, you coming?"

"Nah," Cher smiled, "I'll let you see her first."

I smiled at her in thanks and headed into Justice's room. She was laying on the hospital bed and she was hooked up to a machine that was beeping in the corner.

"Oh justice," I whispered.

I pulled a chair up to her bedside and sat down next to her. She looked so beautiful sleeping. 

"You had me so worried. I'm just glad you're okay."

I looked at the girl in front of me and thought about the past few weeks.

"Justice what are you doing to me? You have no idea the affect you have. I never thought I'd be able to feel something like this again but you're making me question everything."

I paused and took a deep breath.

"Justice, I think I'm falling in love with you."

I started to lean in but just then Justices eyes fluttered open.

"Niall?" she mumbled.

I pulled back and smiled, my heart racing in my chest.

"I'm here, love."

"What happened? Why aren't we at the party?"

"The doctor says you have a concussion. He says you're going to be okay but you need to take it easy for a few weeks."

"Good, then I won't have to take gym for a while."

I chuckled. I knew she hated gym and I'm glad she didn't have to take it anymore but I wish it had been for a different reason.

"I'm sorry for making you leave the party so early Niall."

"Don't worry about it. I'm more concerned about you."

Justice smiled and it looked like she was about to say something but just then Cher walked in.

"Justice! How are you?"

"Cher, hi! I'm fine I guess. My head hurts a little but other than that I feel perfectly fine."

"Cher you can sit here," I said standing up, "I'm gonna go get something to drink."

The second I left the room I leaned my back against the wall and let out a deep breath. I just admitted to Justice, and myself, that I was falling in love with her. I mean, she was sleeping when I told her but still. She woke up right after, she could have heard me.

After what happened last year, I told myself I'd never be able to feel anything for anyone again. But Justice is different. She's an amazing person. There's no way I couldn't feel anything for her.

I sighed and headed towards the hospital cafeteria, thoughts running through my head faster than I could make sense of them.

OH MY GOD
