Liam's POV
**************
It had been about 3 days since Katie had gone deaf. She was getting out of hospital today. They had done all the tests they could do but now we were leaving to another place and I wasn't leaving Katie behind. I had tried to be with her as much as I could but I couldn't miss the signings, concerts or interviews. All the boys had gone to visit her, all the dancers and stylists too. Kathy and Cecilia have been with her the most.
I feel bad. No one knows what to do anymore. We can't all write on notepads. I feel the more we do that the more she gets upset. So when we are all there. All that happens is silence really. Katie tries to brake the silence every now and then but it was hard for her. No one could really answer her. We all started to avoid going as a group to see her, that was more awkward.
Right now we were outside the hospital. Everyone was going to wait here and I was going to walk in and help her.
I walked in and went straight to her room. She was standing there looking at the pills that the doctors had given her. Apparently they were meant to help or something. I didn't know how they worked but oh well. She turned around and looked at me. She had been crying. It was pretty obvious.
'I'm sorry' I said but then I remembered that she couldn't hear me. She must have seen my mouth move because she started crying again. I rushed over to her and wrapped her in my arms. She had packed up the notepad so I couldn't speak to her. I didn't know how to tell her that we had to go now. So I just grabbed her hand. Grabbed her bag in my other hand and started to gently pull her out of the hospital. She understood after a while and ended up walking beside me.
We walked out and were welcomed by not just the boys but a whole mob of fans. They were all holding signs. I smiled, it was really nice of them. None of them were screaming they were all standing there silently holding their signs up. The word must have gotten out about Katie.
I looked down at Katie to see her looking out at the crowd in amazement. I dug through her bag and found the pen and paper.
'I'm sorry if this is too much but they just want to do something nice for you' I wrote and gave it to her so only she could see.
'No, it's fine. It's amazing. Do you have a speaker phone or something? I want to talk to them.' Katie answered after she had read it. I nodded and called Louis over and told him to bring the speakerphone we had with him. He got there and gave it to Katie.
'Thankyou all so much for coming out here. It means a lot. Your signs are amazing. I love them all. Thankyou. You really made my day. Well you made this so much better than it is. It will be much easier to get used to being unable to hear with your support and I-' Kati said into the speakerphone before she broke down crying. I hugged her and took the speakerphone away, giving it back to Louis. I turned Katie away so she couldn't see Louis talking but also so the fans wouldn't see her crying.
'As Katie said, thank you all for coming and thank you for not saying a word. Not that she really knows if you are. Sorry. It is really hard for Katie as hearing is a big part of life and with out her hearing she will hardly be able to dance which is her passion. We ask you all respect her privacy and make her feel normal so we can make it the easiest way possible to get used to this. Thankyou all for coming. Each and every one of you. I hope you all have tickets to our shows. Unfortunately Katie will no longer be performing with us. Thankyou again but we have to go' Louis spoke to the crowd.
When he finished I directed Katie to our bus and we got on the road. It was going to be a long trip.

Katie's POV
*****************
It has been 3 hours on the road now. I keep checking. I am still amazed that the fans did that for me. There were so many people there. It was amazing. I can't believe it. It didn't really make me feel any better though.
The whole time we have been on the road I have been trying to dance. I mean there is nothing wrong with my legs but I can't keep in time with the music. If I could even hear the music to start with.
I gave up on music about 2 hours ago and now I was just counting in my head and dancing some ballet. It was my favourite type of dance. It had so much passion and feeling in it. It was emotional, I was getting my emotion out.
Liam was downstairs on the bus with the others. I knew that he wanted to help me but I just wanted to be alone at the moment. To dance. I didn't want anyone to watch me while I failed at going with the music. I cried when I realised I couldn't do it. I had been hopeful that maybe I was wrong. Maybe I could do it but I was just telling myself I wouldn't but no, I can't. I had cried then, now I am just dancing with the beat in my head.
I was so caught up in my dance I didn't see anyone come in the room but I realised when thy walked over to me, getting in my way. It's not like I would have heard them.
It was Liam. He walked over to me and made me stop. I moved away from him. I was sweaty and disgusting and I didn't want to be with people.
He pulled out his phone and typed something on it. He showed it to me.
'We are stopping at McDonalds for a bit if you would like some food.' I read. I shook my head. I didn't want food. I didn't want to give myself the pleasure of eating when I lost the one thing that mattered to me most.
Liam took his phone back and started typing again.
'Come on, you have to eat something' He had typed.
'I don't want to' I told him firmly.
He took his phone back again and typed once again.
'Fine. Can I do anything for you then?' He had written. I just shook my head. Liam walked out of the room and I followed him. Down to where I had put my stuff. I got out my laptop and sat on my bed. I felt the bus stop but I didn't move. I shut the curtains around my bunk and opened my laptop.
I searched up sign language and how to learn it and began learning how people can speak to me with out having to write.

Liam's POV
**********************
I walked out of the room and heard her following me. I went into the room with the other guys but noticed she didn't follow me into there. I felt so bad. I hated how there was nothing I could do.
'She doesn't want to come?' Kathy asked and I shook my head. I felt guilty because I could hear and she couldn't.
'I'm really worried about her' I said everyone in the room nodded.
'We all are too. But we can figure it out. We'll learn signlanguage or something. But the bus has stopped so let's go get some Macca's!' Zayn said and we all got off the bus. I walked past the bunks to get off and noticed Katie's curtains around her bunk closed.
I hope she is okay.
