Chapter Nine Niall's Point Of View I left Jade's room and searched the hallways. I found out a little about this Daniel Douche from Willow. I made her tell me about him and show me what he looks like. In case there were a situation such as this one. I took the elevator down and just as I stepped out and looked out the window of the hospital and he got into his car and left. I growled under my breath as I kicked the wall. "Um, sir. Are you alright?" A nurse asked me. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about kickin the wall." I nodded as I went back to Jade's room. "He left." I sighed as I went and sat down in a chair. "Good. God only knows what you would have done to him." Jade said, sighing in releaf. "He deserves it." I mumbled. I looked over and saw Jade pull Willow down to her and whispered something in her ear. Willow nodded and stood up straight, then turned to look at Liam, Harry, Louis and Zayn. She motioned for them to follow her and walked out of the room. Jade sighed and looked down. "Niall, I don't need to protect me." She said quietly. "I can handle things myself." "But he hurt you." I replied. "So? Why should you even care? We're not together, it shouldn't matter to you if he hurt me or not." She said back, a bit louder this time. I frowned and bit my lip. "Niall, I understand you like me, and that's cool. But I can't handle a relationship right now. You don't understand what I go through at home, you don't know the pain I feel everything single day, physical or mental pain." I could tears forming in her eyes. "Help me understand, Jade. If you explain things to me, I can try and be there for you." I said. She shook her head. "No, Niall. I'm sorry, but it's not a good idea for us to be together." She was a little calmer now, but tears slid down her face once ni awhile. "I told you, I'm broken." I sighed and leaned foward a little. "Fine, but I will never give up on you." I insisted as I walked out of her room. Jade's Point Of View Niall sighed and leaned forward in his chair. "Fine, but I will never give up on you." He said as he walked out of my hospital room. I watches as the door shut behind me and I stared. Just picturing him leave. The tears were still sliding down my face and I sniffled. The door opened a few minutes later and Willow and Liam walked back into the room. "Well?" Willow asked. "I told him we couldn't be together and he told me he's not going to give up on me." I replied as I sat up a little. "Niall's stuborn, that sounds like him." Liam stated as he nodded his head. "Yeah, I can tell." I sighed and looked around. "Can one of you go get me a drink?" I asked, looking up at them both. "I will." Liam nodded as he started for the door. "Thanks, Liam." I said as he left the room. "Jade, I think you should give Niall a chance." Willow told me as she sat down. I rolled my eyes. "No Will. It's not happening. I can't handle anything serious right now!" I almost shouted. I was already pissed off because of everything that happened when I haven't even been awake that long and she was going to make it worse if she tried to talk to me about Niall right now. "I just think you should have a man in your life right now. One that isn't treating you like shit." She urged. "No!" I yelled loudly. "I'm not ready." I didn't realize it until now, but I was feel on crying at this point. I was upset because I hurt Niall, upset because he was just going to get even more hurt if he never gives up, angry because of Willow always needing to try and put a man in my life, angry because Daniel is once again trying to get into my life. She frowned and looked at me. "Jade... He's a goos guy." She mumbled, now looking at the floor. "I don't care." I stated. "I'm not ready." Liam was now back with my drink and he noticed the tension in the room. "Should I leave again?" He asked as he rose an eyebrow. I shook my head and cleared my throat. "You're fine, Liam. Thanks for the drink." I half smiled as he handed it to me. "You're welcome." He said and smiled back. Later On That Week I was droving home in my car that Willow brought to me yesterday. I was pretty much better besides I had a broken rib from the impact and my head hurt a little. But, the doctor could only give me a perscription for some pain medication so he gave me the perscription and sent me home. I pulled up to the pharmacy and quickly went inside to grab the medication and then go home to relax. The doctor told me to just lay in bed for awhile. I doubt that was ever going to happen, though. With my father, brother and sister always being up my ass about stuff. But, the doctor told me if I was having anymore major problems to come back and he'll check me back into the hospital. I sighed as I walked back out of the store minutes later with the white paper back that had the plastic bottle that contained the little white pills that would make my pain go away. I took one as soon as I got in the car. My head has been throbbing on off since I've woken up. The meds help alot. When I got home nobody's cars were in the driveway. Well, considering it was Saturday night about nine o'clock at night, I could see why no one was home. Sighing, I walked into the house and immediately went to take a hot bath to hopefully relax my muscles for awhile. I was tense from the Daniel thing a couple days ago. I kept having flashbacks of him, which is why I was still a bit stressed about it. My body instantly relaxed as my cool skin hit the hot water. It burned a little, but once I was all the way in, I lost the tension in my muscles completely. I laid my head back and let my hair soak into the water as I just laid in the tub with my eyes closed. I could feel the steam rising from the water. This is really the only time I could ever relax, when I was taking a bath. But, I always take a relaxing shower afterwards so I can get all the filth actually off my and not just sit in dirty water. When I was done I got dressed in some yoga pants and a tank top. I laid in bed after turning off all the lights and plugging in my phone. As my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
