PRANKSTERS.

Chapter 47

Shawn's POV

I look at Allie's frail body again. "Um," I say, my breath hitching in my throat, "I can't cancel. I'm sorry. It's just my fans. I can't let them down. I don't expect you to care because you hate me, but I still do love you. I just owe it to my fans to be there."

Tears well in my eyes, and a big tear lands on my lap.

Her lifeless body doesn't move a millimeter.

"I'll sing another song. I don't know how this song even happened honestly. I was thinking about leaving this life with you and Madi and Liam behind when we were fighting. Even though I was pissed, I still wrote this about you. It's called 'Never Be Alone.' After I sing this I have to go. I'm sorry." I say.

I close my eyes, and start singing.

I promise that one day I'll be around
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you sound

Right now it's pretty crazy
And I don't know how to stop or slow it down

Hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about

And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now

Take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone [2x]

You'll never be alone
When you miss me close your eyes
I may be far but never gone

When you fall asleep tonight just remember that we lay under the same stars

And hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about

And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now

And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone [6x]

And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
Never be alone.

"You'll never be alone. I'm always with you. I just need to go. I'm so sorry, Allie." I say with multiple tears streaming down my face.

Before I change my mind, I grab my stuff, and turn to leave.

Madi's POV

This is all so insane. It all happened so fast.

Last night, Liam and I were just hanging out, then the subject of Allie being missing still came up, so I got emotional, and Liam was comforting me. That's all I remember before falling asleep. Next thing I know, I woke up with Liam gone, a smashed window, and a bloody driveway. He called me, and told me what happened, and my heart dropped down to my stomach.

I couldn't believe it.

I called her mom, then Shawn, who ended up hanging up on me. Then, I slipped on one of Liam's hoodies, some leggings, and converse. I threw my hair up in a messy bun, and didn't even bother with makeup since I'm already letting the tears flow. I arrived at the hospital within minutes, and asked the front desk where Allie's room was. She directed me to it, and as I'm walking to it, I find Liam. I run and hug him, and the tears all come out.

"Shh. It's okay. C'mon, let's go sit down." Liam says, guiding me to the waiting room. He sits down on a small bench, then pulls me to sit next to him. I immediately wrap my arms around him and start bawling.

"She's gonna be okay, Madi." he says, reassuring me. Though, his eyes are tearing up, as well.

"B-but what if she isn't? She was gone for s-so long, and she could've been hurt the whole time."

"She's strong, and you know that. Everything's gonna be okay." he pulls me closer, and lays his head on top of mine.

Allie's POV

"When you miss me close eyes your eyes I may be far, but never gone."

The words ring in my head repeatedly. The song was beautiful. I heard everything. Absolutely everything. I can't move, but I'm completely aware of everything happening. Shawn's gone. Once he left, everything felt worse. I don't feel safe anymore. I feel scared. I don't know if I'll make it through this whole thing. I thought I could, but I don't know anymore.

I hear footsteps. They are faint at first, but they get louder with every passing second.

"Where's Shawn?" I hear a familiar voice ask. Liam.

"I don't know. She looks worse." I hear sniffles from another familiar voice. Madi.

I hear another set of footsteps. These ones are much faster. Desperate footsteps.

"Oh my god." A voice I didn't expect to hear erupts. My mom. "Is she going to be okay?"

"I don't know. I think so." Madi's voice says sadly.

"Can I have a minute?" My mom begs.

"Of course, ma'am." Liam says.

I hear a shuffling of footsteps and then they're gone.

"Allie, honey," my mom's voice cracks. "Please be okay. I couldn't live with myself, I just couldn't if you died."

I just want to reach out and hug her. So badly.

"I'm selfish, aren't I? It shouldn't matter what I can live with. It's your decision, honey. I don't want you to leave me, but it's your choice. I love you so much." I feel a faint pair of lips touch my forehead.

I hear her move and the footsteps get quieter. I hear sobs come out of my poor mom's mouth.

I want to get out of this freaking coma. I have to.
