In time [H.S]

Chapter 7.

Harry's POV.

I was frantic on the way to the hospital. I didn't know what to think.

Is she okay? Is she hurt? What happened? Who did this?

As soon as I got into the hospital ER, I went to find Niall, but was surprised to see Liam there of all people. I thought he didn't want her to find out?

Liam looked pissed, hurt, and confused all at once.

As I walked to him I started to slow down my steps.. He looked up but didn't look at me, instead he looked at the wall behind me.

"Why?" was all he said in a flat voice.

I didn't know how to answer him. I didn't even know the answer myself. So what should I say? Make up a lie? Hell no, he'll be more mad. So instead of answering him, I just sighed and sat next to him.

"I-

I was cut off my Niall walking in. he didn't look like himself.

His face was flushed, his eyes were red, tears stain checks, he had a little bruise on the side of his face.
As he came to sit by us, he kept his head down and didn't look at either one of us. it was weird. It's like he was scared or disappointed in himself. I'll just see what's up later..

We sat there in silence for So long that Niall was dozing off. It was around maybe 3 in the morning. The rest of the guys had came, and we're sleeping off of each other's shoulder.

As I was looking around I thought it was time to talk to Liam. I nudged him with my shoulder and he looked at me. He looked so tired and in thought.

"Are you doing okay?" I asked quietly and carefully. I didn't want to trigger anything.

All he did was look at me at blink a few times and turn back to look at the wall in front of us.

"I just don't know what happened, and it's killing me inside." He said softly.

I know what he's feeling, maybe not the same type of pain but I do know he's feeling dead inside. Maybe they didn't know each other on a personal level but Liam is still her older brother. It's an instinct.

"Liam, we all don't know, but we're going to find out soon m. it's going to be okay I promise." I said trying to hide my emotions. I looked up as soon as I said that and saw that Niall had heated us and was now fidgeting with his fingers while looking thoughtful.

Another hour has passed without hearing anything, I though it was going to be liked this all night, but the doctor ended up coming out..

"Ashley's family?" he said out loud and the guys woke up. we all stood up and started walking slowly to him. I'm so nervous for what's he going to say.

"So, when she got hit by the car it struck her really badly. She's lucky to be alive at the moment but she's okay, we're trying to get the swelling out of her brain but we don't know when she's going to wake up." Was all he said before he walked away. He was tired I can see it in his eyes.

As I looked over to Liam I saw him nodding a bit and then a single tear came out. it was shock to see Liam like that. He barely ever shows his emotions.

I ended up putting my arm on his shoulder and walking him back to the chair. Everyone was really high on their emotions at the moment.

As I looked up I saw Niall turn the corner instead of sitting back down with us. I didn't want to follow him so I just stayed back.

"Maybe it isn't that bad. Maybe she'll wake up soon?" I said to Liam. All he did was shook his head.

"Liam we need to go. it's almost 5 in the morning. Well come back again in a few hours." But all he did was shake his head again.

After 5 minutes Niall came back more upset then before. Liam finally spoke and said "I'm not leaving her." I understood where he was coming from so I left it alone.

Liam's POV.

the next few days were such a blur.

Life was going on around me, I just didn't pay any mind to it. I needed her to wake up. We weren't meant to meet but it was to early and I have something's going on that I don't want her to know.

Harry and Niall kept coming inside the room asking if I was hungry or wanted to take a while to rest but I just wanted her to wake up. Seeing her here like this made me so mad. Who would do this to her?

At around noon, Harry came in and dropped some McDonald's in my lap.

"Liam you have to eat. you can't keep starving yourself." He said in a tired voice. I know I'm being a pain in the ass lately but I don't care. Instead of answering I just looked out the window.

"Liam-

"Harry, I'll eat. just please shut up" I said annoyed.

He sat down next to me, I could feel his eyes on me so I gave up and ended up eating the chicken nuggets he got me.

After I ate rather quickly I looked at him, and he has a slight smile on his face. Dumb ass I though but couldn't help and smirk back.

"So, any news?" harry said while looking at her.

Me and Harry new each other for so long so I wasn't scared to show my true feelings towards him.

"No, doctors said she should be waking up but that was 3 fucking days ago man!" I said yelling a little. "I don't understand what's taking so long!" I finished.

"Maybe she's taking her time. You never know you just have to think positive" he said.

I know I have to think fucking positive Harry, I'm not stupid but I'm still scared I thought.

4 More days ended up passing by. I wear getting so fucking impatient. everyone keeps telling me to leave her in here while i go take care of my things but I didn't want to leave her. and neither did Harry. He's been in here with me all the time too. as much as he can and I can see it in his face that he was getting impatient too.

Niall only started coming once a day. He would always come and stay for 1 hour sometimes. and every time he saw her he would get a little bit more destroyed. I don't know what's going on with him but we're all going through the same thing. he can't think it's all about him.

I started to doze off, thinking about how I reacted when I first saw her like this, with tubes in her mouth, all over her face and arms. it broke me so much. I hate seeing the ones I loved so much in the hospital. I wanted to wake her up, or something but I knew it was no work.

As I was thinking I started to hear the faint sound of a cough. maybe it was Harry so I ignored it and put my head back against the window. but the coughing started to sound like chocking so I opened my eyes wide to see Ashley was starting to wake up.

She looked at me with wide eyes cause of the tube in her throat. I told her to stay calm that I would go get a nurse.

I ran as fast as I could and got the nurse. I was explaining to her in a fast rushed voice that she's chocking and the nurse ran back with him.

As we opened the door we saw Harry trying to get her to stay calm. the nurse moved to her and pushed Harry out the way.

"Ashely, take a deep breath do as I say, and I'll pull it out." she said softly.

As they started taking it out, she started coughing a lot more, Ashley had tears in her eyes. I was starting to get anxious that I didn't even notice Harry leave and get her some water.

She thanked him and took the water, gulping it down. I was so relieved she was a least awake. but I was to happy that I forgot she wasn't suppose to see me, so after finishing her water she looked dead into my eyes and asked me the question I was afraid to answer for her.

"Who are you?" she said silently with wide eyes.
