Save Me (A One Direction Fanfiction)

VI

Harry, Zayn, and Louis found the cafeteria. They walked up to the counter and placed orders for enough food between all five of them. Harry placed his order to the man behind the counter, then stepped back and felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it open and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Harry! Grimmy here, fancy a chat?"

"Am I on air?"

"No, not yet, listen mate we heard about Liam. We have to tell the people something."

"Umm, yea alright. Zayn and Louis are here with me, hang on I’ll put you on speaker."

"Great! I'm patching you through right now.

This is the Radio 1 Breakfast show, Grimmy here with 3/5 of One Direction on the line. Welcome Harry, Zayn and Louis to the show!"

"Hi" they all spoke in unison.

"Listen so we heard reports this morning that Liam is in the hospital, can you confirm or deny this?"

"Liam was rushed to the hospital this morning and taken to the ICU. They are treating him for alcohol poisoning." Zayn spoke over the phone that sat between the lads on the table.

"Alcohol poisoning? Wow! Now you say he is in the ICU right?"

"Yes, he is under constant watch, but is currently stable, they rushed him early the other morning, but he is awake and it moderately good spirits right now." Louis looked completely frightened but spoke smoothly.

"He is out of the woods?"

"No comment on that Grimmy, we are focusing on his health right now and staying positive." Harry looked from Zayn to Louis trying to comfort them silently as he told Grimmy the news.

"Well we are sending you all our prayers and hoping Liam a speedy recovery, Thank you for the chat boys, we will let you go now." The call clicked off.

"There you have it folks, you heard it here first on the Radio 1 breakfast show, I am your host Grimmy, and we will be right back after this commercial break."

Zayn, Louis, and Harry walked back to room 523. Louis, reaching the door first, peaked through the window to see Liam with his hand protectively wrapped around Niall's head as they both slept. Turning back to the others he held his pointer finger up to his lips as a sign to be quite.

"Don't wake them, they are just too cute!" The boys opened the door and sneaked in the room as quietly as possible. Zayn fished for his phone in his jacket pocket and snapped a quick picture sending it to twitter.

@zaynmalik: Look at how cute @NiallOfficial and @Real_Liam_Payne are as the sleep. #shh! #Niambromance #prayforliam

Soon twitter was trending both, #Niambromance and #prayforliam.

Harry, Zayn, and Louis began their feast of cafeteria food started a new card game, careful to keep the noise down. Every once in a while a nurse would pass through the room to check on Liam. One even commented how sweet it was to see five young lads supporting each other, they smiled and thanked her as she left.

Liam woke up a few times, but then almost as suddenly fell back to sleep. Niall was starting to leave a tiny puddle of drool at the side of Liam's bed, so Louis made the executive decision to move him to the couch so he wouldn't drown Liam.

The sun was just setting and the lads had all camped out to different sections of the room, trying to find some comfort. Louis was using Harry as a pillow both of them sprawled out on the floor. Zayn had commandeered the chair by Liam's side, doodling on some paper he'd found. And Niall was laying on the couch still sleeping.
