Things Are Finally Looking Up

13. Saving Lilly

Niall's POV
I said to the boys, "Wait seven minutes and then go, you have five minutes to talk, but keep an eye, if you need help, text me. Harry, you go first." They nodded and started to explain to Paul what we're doing... He said, "I'll be able to distract one nurse at least, they need her medical history." I nodded and he went off to talk to the nurse at the desk. One down, three to go... Harry and Liam were fine, but Louis couldn't go to the bathroom. I said to Charlotte, "Be a student nurse and ask her about her job and how she started out. Wait one minute and then, Sophia, ask one where the bathroom. When I go in, Anabelle, ask the other nurse where the bathroom is." They nodded and eventually we got Louis to the bathroom and then I walked in and the lads quickly followed. I strumed my guitar and we got through the whole song at least.. I grasped her hand and I was crying by the time we were done, I sobbed, "Lilly, please come back..." Harry put his hand on my back and said, "Niall, come on. I said, "No, I refuse to leave her side." Liam said, "Harry, Louis, we better go." They left the room and I just held her hand. I wasn't leaving her side. Charlotte texted saying the girls wanted to see Lilly and I left, but I left my guitar there because I know I'm going to go back and I'm going to sing her a few more songs. The guys pulled me into a hug and the doctor came and saw me. He said, "If she doesn't wake up in the next seven days, Mr. Horan, she will be counted as brain dead because she will probably be in an irreversible coma..." I said, "She'll wake up, she's strong." I said to Paul as the doctor left, "I want to tell the press a few words. I'm going to just tell the fans what happened." He said, "Just, don't doing anything crazy..." I nodded and he pulled me out to see them. I said to all the microphones, "Today, Lilly was attacked by our so called "fans" today, now she's fighting for her life. I don't care at this point who hurt her, but I do ask the fans, for the sake of Lilly's life and for the sake of my happiness to send us prayers and good thoughts at this time. She is in a coma and we have no idea when she's going to come out if it, but we could really use our true fans for support. Thank you..." I was ushered back in and I was crying... I was crying harder than I did when management turned my mic off during a concert. I was crying harder than when I was at the Ghana hospital. I was crying because I was scared that the one person I truly cared about wasn't going to be in my life...

I tweeted, "Please send us prayers and good thoughts, thanks x. @LillyBlack #PrayForLilly #BeStrongLilly"

The boys and girls retweeted it and so did a lot of other celebrities and important people.
