Things Are Finally Looking Up

14. She's Who's Sister?!

Niall's POV
I was sitting with her the whole night. It was about midnight now and Harry texted me, "Come out to the room." I went and I saw Harry's mum, Anne, was here I asked, "What's going on?" Harry said, "I don't know, my mum wanted to talk to all of us." She said, "This is something I've kept secret for a while, but given the situation, you all should know..." Harry said, "What is going on?" She said, "When I was pregnant with you Harry, I had another child as well... She unfortunately died when she came out four days later, or so I was told. Your biological father took her and put her up for adoption... I found out when Desmond told me about seven years ago. I told him to tell me everything, but he refused to. It took me years to find her using private detectives, but I had to take care of you. I was able to find her a year ago because I went to the hospital you were born at and they showed me the release form your dad signed. It was to an adoption service and I was able to find her through that. Your twin sister is Lilly..." Harry looked shocked, everyone was. Harry asked, "Are you sure? I mean it could be an honest mistake..." Anne shook her head saying, "No, I'm positive, I talked to Lilly's family and they confirmed who she came from..." I said, "Wait, does Lilly know about this?" Anne said, "I was going to tell her, but I didn't know how... I was going to invite you all to our house for the holidays, but given the situation I thought I should tell her now..." I said, "She needs to know she has a mother." Liam said, "She can't though, Niall, she's in a coma..." I said, "I know, but there's always a possibility!" Louis said, "Niall, it's been a long night, you need to sleep, we'll talk to her in the morning..." I shook my head and said, "No, I am not leaving her side." Harry said, "Niall, you won't be any help to her now, you need to sleep and first thing in the morning we will all come back and see her." I snapped saying, "No! You don't get it! I refuse to leave her side! I made a promise and I'm going to keep it!" Louis said, "Enough! Niall, you aren't the only person in this room who cares about her. You know in your right mind you need sleep." I ran my hands through my hair and Liam came up to me and said, "Mate, come on..." I kept shaking my head and Charlotte came up and hugged me. She said, "I know it hurts Niall, but you won't be any of help to Lilly if you keep falling asleep when she wakes up... Come on..." After a few moments I said, "Let me say goodnight and grab my guitar..." Everyone sighed in relief as I walked out of the room. I took her hand and said, "Before I go for the night, I'm going to sing you a song and I'll be back as soon as visiting hours open..." I sang her, Strong...

"My hands, your hands
Tied up like two ships
Drifting, weightless
Waves try to break it
I'd do anything to save it
Why is it so hard to say it?
My heart, your heart
Sit tight like book ends
Pages between us
Written with no end
So many words we're not saying
Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone
You make me strong
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?
Think of how much
Love that's been wasted
People always
Trying to escape it
Move on to stop their heart breaking
But there's nothing I'm running from
You make me strong
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
So, baby, hold on to my heart, oh, oh
Need you to keep me from falling apart
I'll always hold on
'Cause you make me strong
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong"

"Lilly, you make me strong, I need you to please be here for me, I can't do anything without you. Whether it's being my inspiration for songs or being there for someone to hold. I need you to live. I know you don't feel like you should deserve to live, but you do..."
I kissed her lips, went to my hotel, took a shower, and I couldn't sleep all night...
