ADDISON:
I've just got out of the shower and I feel a little better since eating and showering, until I walk into our bedroom, I see the pictures all around of us, the bed still messy, his clothes on his bedside cabinet, I can't do this. I fall to the floor and sob, I've grabbed a picture of me and him and I'm cuddling it sobbing. While crying I'm screaming out 'NOOOOO'. All of a sudden I feel arms around me "calm down Ads, come on love take a breath" I hear Jack tell me and Jordan holding me tight saying "it's okay, It's going to be okay." We sit on the bedroom floor for about 20 minutes, them just holding me. Then I feel it and so do the boys, my little boy kicks me, it's like he's reminding me he's there and it's like a comfort to me. I thank the boys and they find a bag and I tell them what I need to pack. Once they've done they tell me they're going to wait outside whilst I get changed.

About 40 minutes later, we arrive back at the hospital. I run into the room and Mase is sat exactly where he promised he would. I run up to him and hug him tight, no words just a hug we both need. I then break the silence "Mase I've been thinking. I think you should do a post to let the fans know. I mean the newspapers are just making lies up now." He nods and agrees.

MASON:
I know Ads is right the fans deserve to know what's happening, but I don't know if I can write the words. Most of the lads have gone home now and they'll be back tomorrow, it's now Ads, Me, Jack, Jordan and Ben. I've told them they can go but they want to be here for me and Ads.
Ben is sitting with Ads, chatting away trying to keep her occupied, Jack and Jordan call me outside and have just told me about Addi's breakdown, I know she's struggling, she's got a little baby inside her and her fiancé is sedated in hospital. I need to be strong for her too.

He has had surgery which means he should make a full recovery. He needs to stay sedated for 1 more day and then hopefully his body will be healed enough to wake up. It's a long journey of recovery and rehabilitation.
My sister and I are so grateful for all the well wishes and the support especially from the lads. We will update but not often. All we ask is for privacy and your prayers whilst we go through this.
Get better soon mate we all need you😭😭

All the football boys commented well wishes for Dec and support for us. It's heartbreaking seeing my best friend like this. It's always been Mason and Declan, I don't think I could ever cope being just Mason. He's my brother, he's my best friend. I need him.

-Time Skip: The next day-
ADDISON:
Today they're waking Dec up, they said they're going to do it in about 3 hours, me and Mase are both on edge, we've talked a lot more about our feelings in these last 24 hours and it's helped as we're both just as broken. I've had to make sure I still eat and drink and walk places as I need to for baby, as much as leaving Decs side is painful, I know it's what he'd want me to do. I keep placing Decs hand on my bump so baby knows he's still here too and hopefully it makes Dec want to wake up.

3:15pm and the Dr has come in to try and wake Dec up, it's such an anxious time, I'm sitting holding his hand, whilst Mason is cuddling me with his hand on Decs leg. It feels like a long time, then the machine beeps and I look and see him trying to open his eyes. I don't know whether to smile or cry, soon I feel something tighten around my fingers and see it's his hand. I try to talk but all that comes out is tears.
The Dr has done the checks and says he's recovered lots better than expected, it's still a long journey but we're out of the worst of it. I still can't talk, Masons given him his hug and gone to call everybody and let them know. I'm still sitting here holding his hand crying. "Babe I'm okay please stop crying" I look up and Decs smiling at me. "I thought I was going to lose you Decsy" I say and he shakes his head "your never going to lose me, I love you too much" I stand up and hug him. I feel the weight of worry lift off of my shoulders. He's alive, he's here. I feel baby move so I place Decs hand on my belly and he grins at me "he must know daddy's awake" he says and I nod, my heart is exploding with happiness that he's going to be okay.
