My Best Friend, Liam Payne?

Something Unexpected

*five days later*

*Liams POV* (day 20)

Beep. Beep. Beep.

That’s all I heard, all day long, I don’t know how these nurses can stand it, it’s the most annoying thing.

“I don’t think he wants to see you.” Harry spoke from outside, his voice travelling through. Louis and I looked up. I think everyone kept appointing one person to stay with me in the room in case I did something stupid which was completely unnecessary.

“I don’t care if he doesn’t want to see me, she’s my friend too!” I groaned at that voice, anyone but him, anyone but him.

"Hello Liam." Jake waved cheerily, the fake-ness practically oozed off of him. I didn't reply.

"Mind if I have some time alone with Gabby?" He continued and I stood up immediately.

"No." No way in hell was he going to be with her alone. I began to stare him down.

"I'll just... Leave now." Louis told us awkwardly, moving out of the room. Jakes emotions immediately changed.

"Poor little Liam." He snarled, taking a step forward. I backed up.

"Jake..." I sighed, he took another step. "I don't want to start anything."

"Too bad your whore of a girlfriend got into a fire before I could fuck her." As he spoke he took another step and his chest hit mine, big mistake. I grabbed his shirt and pushed him to the ground. I pinned him down, holding him by his shirt with one hand and going to punch him with the other.

"Another word..." I warned, I was really not in the mood to start anything but this guy just kept on pushing me and pushing me. He leant up to whisper in my ear.

"Gabby's a dirty sk-" I didn't let him finish; I punched him hard in the jaw.

"Don't you dare, ever, speak her name like that ever again." I threatened between punches.

"Why? Because you know it's true?" He laughed, blood dribbling down his nose. Jake had some nerve. I pulled him up and pinned up against the wall this time. He took a blow to his stomach and another and another. That's when he started to fight back.

I received a punch to my head and a knee to my stomach. He kept hitting me repeatedly and soon I was on the floor, my vision blurring. Jake kneeled over me and hit me again and again until the door burst open and he was pulled off me.

"Liam, are you alright?" Niall asked worriedly, kneeling over to look straight in my eyes, I nodded weakly.

"Sit up him, Niall." Harry ordered, lifting one of my arms and gesturing for Niall to lift the other. They pulled me up so I was leaning against the wall.

"What were you thinking?" Alex bent down to my level as I watched Louis and Zayn drag out the little imbecile.

"He went too far." I replied, using the side of my hand to wipe the blood that had come from a cut in my lower lip. Harry, Niall and Alex shook their heads.

"C'mon, let’s get you to a shower to clean you up." Niall started to help me up but I struggled against him.

"Liam, come on!" He whined, setting me back down.

"I'm not leaving her, not even for five minutes." I shook my head defiantly. Harry placed his hand on my shoulder and lifted my face with a finger to look him directly in the eye.

"Liam, I'm sorry, but there is a very small chance she's going to wake up in the next five minutes." he told me solemnly, I shook my head again, he sighed “if she does then I'll come and get you straight away and you can come down here half naked to see her if you like, I'm sure she wouldn't mind, actually, she'd probably enjoy it." He smirked and I couldn't help the small smile that was pulled onto my face.
