Chapter 4:
“May I help you?” says the lady at the counter. She had long curly hair and was dressed in all white. “Yes, where looking for Ed Sheeran’s room please?” said Liam “Sorry, fans cannot see him, only friends and family.” “I mean no disrespect ma’am but were not fans. Were from One Direction. Ed is a close friend of ours.” Said Louis. “And I’m the queen of England. ID’s please.” We all gave her our ID’s and she replied “I’m sorry, I didn’t know. We get a lot of look alike's in here trying to see famous people. Room 2. Down the hall to the right.” “Thank you.” We said heading down the hallway. We walked into the room and Ed was sitting up watching the T.V. “ED!” I said loudly running over to the bed. “How are you feeling mate?” Zayn said slowly walking to the bed. ”Oh, I’m alright, just a few scratches.” “Scratches? Ed… You have a broken arm and cracked ribs!” Harry said sounding worried. “Well, I’m alive right? So, um, how’s Niall? Where is he?” “He’s fine, he’s up and walking, but, he thinks you don’t want to see him. What happened last night Ed?” Ed looked over to me and held me hand while he told me the story. “After Niall took you home, he came over to my place and wanted to go drinking. I didn’t know why until we got the pub. He told me he doesn’t know what he will do if you leave. He drank way too much and we got kicked out of the pub. He was out of control and hit me a few times because I tried to get him to get into the care. Poor mate was lost. I got him into the car but he was still being crazy. I wasn’t drunk so I was going to drive him home but he tried to jump out of the car while it was moving. I looked over and Niall was out of the car. I swerved and hit a car in the oncoming lane. And now here I am. Taylor. He’s going to be lost without you.” I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. I tried to speak but nothing came out. Harry took me out to the hallway and the rest of the guys stayed at talked to Ed. The hallway was empty. “Tay? You ok?” again, no words came out. “Hey, it’s going to be ok.” He pulled me towards him and hugged me. I buried my head in his chest as I cried. When I knew I would be able to talk I said “What is he going to do when I’m done. What if he seriously hurts himself? I’ll never be able to live with myself! Harry. What do I do?” he looked at me with his emerald green eyes and replied “Stay. Stay for him. Stay for me. I would probably be in prison if it weren’t for you. Well. And Liam. But that’s not the point. You are a big part of all of our lives. Niall’s in love with you. I’m not in prison because of you. You entertain Liam. Louis has someone to sass without hurting their feelings. And Zayn. You’re the one he comes to for advice. We all need you Taylor.” “But I can’t just not go.” Harry didn’t say anything for a moment but then hugged me again. We walked back into Ed’s room. “Hey, Harry is going to take me home so I’ll see you all later.” I walked over to Ed, kissed his forehead and Harry and I left the hospital.
