Just Another Fairy Tale

*Amanda's POV*

I wake up. Breathing normally again. My body is still sore but better than last night. But my headache got no better. I sit up and remove my oxygen mask. I hand it up beside my heart rate monitor. I grab my phone at the side table and check the time. I sigh. 8:43 am. I wanna go back to sleep. I lay back down and face Niall. Uh he's so perfect! I flip over so that I'm facing the other way. I pull the blanket up higher and scoot closer to Niall. I feel his arms wrap around me.

"Mmm." He mumbles.

"Stop waking up so early." He says sleepily. I yawn.

"Sorry babe." I say obviously very tired from the long night.

"And stop scaring me like that." He mumbles. I turn around and face him. He opens his eyes and looks deeply into mine. His eyes were red and watery. It's either he's up late or he's been crying.

"Are you okay, baby?" I ask.

"Yeah yeah. Just a little sleepy." He says.

"Niall, have you been up crying?" I ask. Niall sighs.

"When you were kinda dead for a minute, I thought you were gone forever. While you were sleeping I kinda thought about.. what would happen if you were gone forever. So.. I cried." He said.

"Can I just say, I'm speechless." I say after a moment of silence.

"I'm just glad you still here. Don't scare me like that." He says. I giggle. I move closer and plant a soft and short kiss on his lips.

"Never again." I say.

*Later*

I am currently breathing through my oxygen mask while looking out the window. Having trouble breathing again and it's totally getting on my nerves. I am sore from head to toe and I'm sick of it. I wanna get out of here! I'm cooped up! I need to walk and be free! But most of all, I want to remember. Soon I have an x-ray. For my rib cage. The doctors want to know if it's getting any better.

"Amanda.." Niall says from the bed. I turn around and look at him. I nod.

"Come here." He says. I walk over and sit down beside him.

"Check out this text." He says and hands me his phone. I read the text.

Dear Niall and Amanda,
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not shout
I'm telling you why.
Cause your in great danger..
By me.
~Unknown

I read the text over. She's back. I think to myself. Nope. This can't be happening. Not again. Not now. I'm too hurt and beaten. They still haven't found who almost killed me. Maybe this text was sent by them! I remove my oxygen mask.

"Niall..." I say.

"Yes baby?" He asks.

"Maybe this text was sent by whoever gave me the broken ribs. I know I didn't break my ribs by just falling someone was to blame." I say.

"Do you think we should show the doctors and maybe they'll get an officer to investigate?" Niall asks.

"Yea. We should." I say. I watch as Niall runs out of the room. He shows the doctors the text. I put on my oxygen mask again and lay down. Dozing off to sleep once again.

*Night time*

I wake up again. A tray of food on the side table. I yawn and sit up. Stretching as I do. I look around and spot Niall sitting on the ground and listening to music. I remove my oxygen mask and crawl over to him. I remove one of his ear buds from his ear and kiss his cheek.

"Hey baby girl." He says as he plays around with his phone.

"Hi." I say. He wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me closer. I rest my head on his shoulder and watch as he scrolls through twitter.

"It's been a slow day." He mumbles. I nod.

"Yeah. As long as we're together." I say. He kisses my head.

"Your the best, you know that?" Niall asks, putting down his phone. I blush.

"Your way better." I say.

"No, if I was way better than I wouldn't be cutting myself." He says, obviously disappointed with himself.

"Cutting makes no difference. Your way better than I ever will be." I mumbles. Niall sighs. There was a long moment of silence.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you more." He replies.

"No, I love you more." I say.

"I love you way more than you love me!" He says. I giggle at his comment. Instead of having 'I love you' wars, I decide to press my lips against his. It does't take long for him to kiss me back. Just then, my headache all of the sudden disappeared. Events, people, places all coming back to me. I pull away from Niall, his face full of disappointment because I pulled away.

"Niall." I say.

"Yes?" He asks.

"I remember..."
