My leg bounces up and down nervously as I sit in the uncomfortable plastic waiting room chair. It's been three hours and we still have no word on Harry or Niall.
"What if we loose them" Louis runs his hands through his hair "what if we loose them both?"
"Shut up Louis! God why would you say that" I shout at him
"I'm sorry I'm just so nervous. I'm sorry" he shakes his head
"I know I am too"
"Boys" Paul says and we look up seeing Dr. Victors walking towards us. We stand up quickly
"Is it over? Is everything alright?" I ask panicked
"Harry is out of surgery and in recovery. Everything went perfectly" I sigh in relief running my fingers through my messy hair
"Oh thank god" I sigh
"And Niall?" Paul asks
"Last I heard he was stable and everything was going well" we nod
"When can we see Harry?" Louis asks him
"You can come see him now but he's still unconscious from the anesthesia"
"Thank you" we follow him to the intensive care unit where Harry is
We go into the room to find Harry fast asleep with a bunch of monitors attached to him. We quickly go and sit next to him relived he's alright.
"Mr. Higgins" we turn around seeing a nurse in the door way " Mr. Horans family is here" she says
Paul thanks her and goes to get them and bring them up "what are we gonna tell them?" I ask Louis he sits on the other side of Harry
"Just what the doctor told us I guess"
I just nod bringing my attention back to Harry.
"Mhmmm" we turn our heads hearing Harry moan
He tossed his head "Harry? Are you alright?" I ask worried
"I think so" he mumbles opening his eyes slowly. I feel some of the stress leave me when I hear his voice again
"How do you feel?" Louis asks him
"Alright. A bit sore...have you heard anything about Niall yet?" He asks
We shake our heads "only that he's still stable"
"Boys" we turn around seeing Paul, Maura, Chris, Bobby and Daniel
I quickly stand up as they walk in "hey" I say softly honestly not knowing what to say
Maura comes over to me and hugs me crying softly into my chest "I'm sorry I'm just so worried" she says and I nod
"It's alright. We all are" she pulls away turning to Harry
"Paul told us everything, how are you feeling Harry?" She asks him
"I'm fine" he smiles
"Thank you for doing this Harry I-I don't even know what to say or how to thank you-"
He interrupts her "you don't have to" she nods wiping tears off her cheeks
We all sit down making light conversation, no one really knowing what to do or say. Everything's so dull and feels wrong without Niall.
An hour later there's a sudden knock at the door and Dr. Carl is in the door. We all stand quickly.
"Nialls out of surgery" he says and a wave of sighs erupts from everyone
