Things Are Finally Looking Up

12. France

Lilly's POV
I went on the plane with the boy's that night and we all went on holiday in France and the boy's girlfriends joined us. Louis had met my friend, Annabelle and they started dating.
Well, I was having a surprise meet and greet tomorrow because I wasn't able to add anymore France shows, but plans changed.
We were having a movie night so I though we should have hot chocolate. I was going to get Starbucks with Niall. We were getting some drinks for everyone. As we were walking through the crowd with Paul, we were unnoticed until a person knocked my sunglasses off. It was a girl, she screamed, and then she started beating me. Niall pulled her off me, but some other girls were attacking me as well. I was pushed into a street lamp and I lost consciousness after that.

Niall's POV
As soon as I saw the first punch I tried to pull the girls off Lilly, then Paul moved the other girls out of the way and found Lilly on the ground unconscious. Nearby police officers pushed the girls back, an ambulance cane within ten minutes, and we were off to the hospital. I called the guys, Paul had the other security team move us to a different hotel, and they are coming to the hospital in about an hour. I was in a private waiting room with Paul while we waited for the doctors to tell us what's been going on. We were waiting for hours, during the time all the lads and lass came and waited with me. The doctor came in, we all stood up, and he said, "I'm Dr. David, who is closest to Miss Black?" I walked over shook his hand and said, "I'm her fiancé, Niall Horan. How is she Dr. David?" He said, "Well, she has a bruised stomach, internal bleeding in some places, a black eye, and a she's in a coma due to a concussion..." We all were shocked. He continued, "I suggest someone to go talk to her, I think she may be able to regain consciousness, but with patients in a coma it can be a while before they wake up. It all depends on how much fight they have in them..." Niall said, "Can we see her?" He said, "She's in the Intensive Care Unit, only family." Paul said, "All family is in another country, this is the only family she has had for over five years, can't that be an exception?" He asked, "Who are you?" Paul shook his hand saying, "Paul Higgins, her manager and head security." Charlotte said, "Forgive me, Dr. David, but given that the early stages of comatose are a cruital time where patients can be woken up with sound and vocal recognition, shouldn't we be allowed in as soon as possible?" He looked at her surprised and said, "Yes, but the law clearly states-" "This is a medical emergency, the law can sometimes be overwritten, and we, especially Niall are close family to Lilly, during this time we may be the only way we can help her brain heal faster and help her come out of a coma, so I suggest you let at least the boys to go in and see her, " Charlotte, looked a bit scary. He looked and said, "I assume you have a medical degree is neurology, then Miss?" "Charlotte, and I will, in two weeks, but this has happened to my grandmother, the neurologist realized that if we had been allowed in a few hours earlier, then she may have just been saved." He clenched his jaw and said, "Let me see what I can do..."
He left the room quickly and I said, "Thank you..." She nodded and Harry said, "I thought you were at Uni for being a writter, not neurologist?" She blushed and said, "I'm not, but my character is..." We laughed and we sat down. It was half an hour later and the doctor came in and said, "One at a time, no more. Who's first?" I looked at them and Harry said, "Well, go on Niall." I gulped and followed. He brought me to a room and Lilly was on the bed, she was so pale, her face was bloody and she had oxygen on her. He said, "If you have any questions, let me know." I nodded and said, "Thank you, Doctor." I touched her hand and said, "Hi, princess... I don't know if you can hear me, but please, please, please be strong... I need you to live, I need you to be here with me so we can get married, so we can have kids, see our grandchildren... please..." I was crying by then and I realized, voice recognition... I ran back to everyone and said, "I need my guitar and I need you lads in there with me..." Liam said, "Niall, we aren't allowed, only one at a time. It's It's the rules!" I said, "To hell with the rules! I think I know what can wake her up..." Harry said, "We're going to sing to her, aren't we?" I nodded and said, "I just have this gut feeling that if we sing to her, she'll wake up... I have a plan." Niall said, "Paul, I need you to get my guitar from my room, then once it's here we begin." Paul said, "You better not get caught, Niall." Paul left and I said to the boys, "Each of us goes and sees her individually, there is an bathroom in the ICU, once you see her, notice the nurses and once they aren't looking, slip into the bathroom. Once I go see Lilly again, slip out and we'll sing 18 to her..." Liam said, "It's going to be risky..." Louis said, "But it's worth a shot." Harry said, "She's done so much for us, now we need to do something for her..." Sophia said, "But, how are you going to distract the nurses at the front desk when she notices four boys in one room?" I said, "I didn't think about that..." Annabelle said, "It's simple, we distract the nurses. Ask about what's going on with Lilly, just keep them focused on us." I said, "Brilliant, so now, we wait." We sat down, after about a half an hour, Paul was back with my guitar... I muttered, "Let the games begin..."
