Kenzie pov:
We're halfway through rehearsals and I'm in a lot of pain. My rips feel like they are on fire but I'm trying to hide the pain as much as possible.

"Let's take a 15, I need a smoke break," Zayn said as he pulled out his pack and placed a cigarette in his mouth. I take a deep breath and put down my guitar. "Imma go to the restroom i'll be back" I walk out of the room.

I go to the mirror in and stare at myself. Eyebags and messy hair, god I look awful. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach I started coughing. I tensed up my stomach as that caused a lot of pain. Just then I tasted a metallic taste in my mouth. I quickly spit it out just see red. I slowly lift my shirt, and the bruising has gotten worse.

I quickly wipe my mouth and raise it out with water. I need to hold it together, I'll be fine. I take a deep breath which is kind of difficult to do.

I make my way back to the rehearsal room, the boys are still just messing around smoking. I sit down at the edge of the stage and pick at my thumbs. "Heyy" Louis said as he sits next to me. I look over and give him a soft smile. "Hey," I said back trying to figure out a good conversation starter.

"You're doing amazing, you already know pretty much all the songs on the set list and how the show is broken down," he said complimenting me. I smile at him and thank him.

It's been a while since I've been complimented like that. It felt nice.

"Okay let's get back to the set," Harry said going up to his mic. Louis helped me up which caused me a lot of pain but I hid it.

"Alright let's move on to better than words," Niall said reading his list. I flip through the pages untill I get to the song.

I took a deep breath and started playing, I felt so dizzy and out of breath. I just ignore it and push on.

For the rest of the rehearsal, I was in so much pain so when it was over I felt so much relief.

We finish playing best song ever which is the last song of the set list. "Okay, we have finished the entire setlist! For the next three days, we'll just go over songs to fix them up and to get the right tempo. But for the most part, I say you're ready to hit the stage next Monday" Liam said as he started packing up his stuff.

"Sounds good to me" I start putting away my guitar. Harry walks over to me and helps me out with my case. "Let me walk you out," He said holding my case in hand. I give him a small nod.

"Night guys see y'all tomorrow," I said as I walked out with Harry. The boys just give me small byes and I exit.

We make it to my car, he hands me my guitar. I hold it in my hand and thank him for walking me.

"You going to be okay tonight?" he asks worried. I hesitate and give him a small nod. "I'll be fine," I said lying.

He sighed and just gave me a small nod. "Okay well here is my hotel information. If you need anything and I mean anything please come, no matter the time" he said sternly and he handed me a small piece of paper. I give him and nod and thank him again.

He walks away and goes back inside. I take a deep breath which only caused me to wince in pain. I get in my car and drive away.

Harry pov:
I make it to my hotel room and lie down on my bed. I'm extremely exhausted, after rehearsal me, and the boys had to go over some stuff for the heist. Just the usual, how to get in, what to do if we get caught, how to not get shot and killed, the basics.

I change into some pajamas and unlock my phone, I see a text from Callan.

"Such a pretty girl, be a shame if she was wasted potential in a body bag"

I felt my throat close up and I lock my phone and threw it next to me on the bed not even wanting to reply. I don't know what to say to that. Cal is not someone you want to mess with. I mean he's the mafia, of course, you don't want to mess with him.

I take a deep breath and before I knew it I was passed out.

Kenzie pov:
I'm in my car with my seat all the way back. I'm in the most pain I have ever felt. I can barely breathe, I feel as if my lungs are collapsing. My chest feels heavy and stabbing pains throughout my stomach and chest. I'm sobbing in pain which is only making it worse.

I slowly lean up and turn my car on. I start driving with no destination in mind. I'm making turn after turn.

I feel as If I'm going to die. I start coughing and blood enters my mouth and exits through the side displaying the blood on my lips.

As I make one last final turn I make it in front of a hotel. I pull out a live of paper from my back pocket.

Floor 6. Room 708 - Harry

I stumble out of my car barely even being able to walk. Thankfully I find the strength and make it to the elevator. I click 6 over and over again thinking it would make it go faster. I hold my stomach in pain and wipe the blood off the side of my lip.

The elevator door opens and I make my way down a narrow hallway. As I pass by doors I look at the numbers.

705
706
707
708

I stop in front of his door and stand there for a bit.

I shouldn't be here I should go. I'll be okay, I'm being overdramatic. I don't even know him he won't care He will just be mad that I woke him up from his sleep over something small.

My mind is racing, I try and figure out something to do which causes me to start having a panic attack.

I start hyperventilating which isn't helping this situation and is only making it worse.

knock
knock
knock

I knock without even thinking.

Less than 30 seconds later I see Harry open the door. His hair is messy and his eyebags and prominently displayed under his eyes.

"Kenzie.. are you okay? What's wrong?" He said confused and worried. He looked at my demeanor and noticed something was happening.

"Can you... Can you umm come to the hospital with me..." I said softly.

Im crazy. Why would he want to come with me? I'm so stupid for being here. I'm so stupid to think he would come.

"Yes, come on," He said as he quickly ran into his room and grabbed his keys.

Oh, he said yes.

It's because he felt pressured to.

My mind is going a million miles an hour. I felt a sharpness in my chest. I start coughing, immediately blood comes out the side of my mouth I try and hide it. But Harry quickly notices.

"Kenzie... we need to go now," he said quickly grabbing my hand. I slowly follow him to his car.

As soon as we get into his car he starts speeding.

I'm the worst person ever. I shouldn't have bothered him, now he's speeding me to a hospital over something that might not even be a big deal. I should have sucked it up.

God, I'm so worthless.
