~ELIZABETH'S POV~

Ugh. I feel so tired. I opened my eyes and was suddenly greeted by extremely bright lights, making my eyes hurt. From what I made out, I was in a completely white room on a hospital bed. A couple voices caught my attention, their serious tones confusing me. Niall's voice blurred through and pretty soon Kyle's did the same

What's he doing here? I can hear people arguing but I can't make out what they're saying. What's going on?

~NIALL'S POV~

WHAT THE HELL?! I LEAVE HER ALONE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND NOW SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL?!

I was driving home from work when I suddenly got a call from Elizabeth but when I answered, some guy said that she was in Mercury Field Hospital and then hung up. When I got there, there was some guy sitting in the chair next to her hospital bed; he introduced himself as Kyle and said that he was an old friend of Elizabeth's. And Elizabeth. My Elizabeth. She looked so pale and fragile. Just lying there. Not moving. There were so many tubes attached to her. I had a sick feeling in my stomach. I didn't know how it happened but the next thing I knew, I had grabbed Kyle by the collar and slammed him against the wall. I mean I'm not that tall but I got him up pretty high. The look on his face: pure terror.

"What the hell happened to her?!" I demanded, my grip tightening in anger.

"I...She...fainted...Starbucks...talking..." he manages to get out.

I put him back on the floor and took a deep breath,starting to calm down for a bit. I scratched the back of my neck, "Sorry man. I didn't mean to hurt you. What happened?" I apologized and asked him.

Kyle fixed his shirt and sighed and began telling me what happened. "Long story short, I saw her outside of Starbucks and I stopped to talk to her. But she didn't want to talk to me...and I brought up the...past...and then she started breathing hard and next thing I knew, she was falling fast. I called you because you were the first one on her speed dial." Kyle rambled.

"Well thanks man. If it wasn't for you, who knows what could have happened to her." I said as I looked longingly at the beautiful girl lying very still on the hospital bed. My girl.

"....Wait. What past...?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes at Kyle.

He started telling me everything.

I don't even think I let him finish talking. All I remember was seeing red and then I lunged at Kyle and started pounding his face. He got a couple of hits in but not as much as I did. He was lucky that he was already at a hospital.

I felt the security guards pulling me away from him and the nurses screaming. It took a while for the guards to constrain me. I'm not exactly one to just give up. I saw them put Kyle in a gurney and take him to another room. Elizabeth's hospital-room floor was covered with blood, signaling that I did some damage to her childhood companion. They took me down to tend to my split lip; that's about all the damage that asshole gave me. I looked up from the stained floor when I heard someone enter the room.

It was the doctor.

"Mr. Horan. Are you a family or relative of Ms. Elizabeth Martin?" he asked.

"Uhm no. But I'm her uhh....boyfriend." I said hesitantly. At that moment, I didn't really know where we stood or what we were.

"Well, you're the closest thing to family that she's got right now. I have some important news. She was just diagnosed with epilepsy. Some type of stress or something probably triggered it. She needs to rest a lot and just take it easy for a couple of days. We'll keep her overnight for observations but other than that, she should be fine with lots of bed rests." The doctor assured me.

"Thanks, Doc." I said.

That bastard! It was all his fault! I just know it. If what he told me was really what he told Elizabeth, I would probably be traumatized too. I mean, now it makes sense on why she was hesitant on going out with me at first. But I'm no good for her. If she really does have epilepsy, my job will just add to it. I can't handle seeing her hurt.

I look over at her angelic face.

Would it be better for me to leave her?
