Louis

I'm dead. SO dead. I. Am. So. Dead. Liam will kill me for this, and I know. Was all that went through my head, over and over again.

Niall whispered some words of encouragement, but they really didn't help.

I walked into Olivia's room, the others waiting at the door. I walked closer to the bed and looked over the two of them.

Liam had his arms rapped around Olivia, who almost seemed to be trying to escape his hold. Then Olivia shifted. She MOVED. I gasped and stepped back. Then I saw a tear run down Liam's face. What was going on in their dreams?

Olivia

Wake up Olivia. You need to wake up. For Liam. For Danni. For the others. For you. Wake up!

I felt my body for a moment. I moved something, I'm not sure what. I felt something warm from beside me. A soft blanket. Breathing, other than my own. A gasp. A squeak.

Gone.

I was back in my old purple-walled room. Liam in the corner, crying. It tore me apart inside.

I started to cry and dropped to my knees. I heard Liam crawl over to me.

"Shh, don't cry darling. Don't cry." he cooed, rubbing my back comfortingly.

"I'm sorry Liam. I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. You never left me, I know that now." I said through sobs.

"I knew that. I always did. I'm your brother, you know I'll always understand. Just take your time to figure it out."

"But Liam, I've tried! I woke up for a minute. I felt my life, my body! But I couldn't do it. I'm so sorry..." I looked him in the eyes. He looked more proud than I had ever seen him. Not in a concert, not at a race. But right now. For me.

"You woke up? Thank you. That's the best news I've had all day. I must tell the others. But to do that, I need to leave you for a little while. Is that ok?" I nodded

"Could you just wait with me for a while?" I sniffed.

"Of course anything for-" he was cut off.

Not only that, but he was gone.

Bethany

Louis finally worked up the nerve to wake Liam. He ran back once he had, and hid behind us.

Liam jumped up and started screaming at us.

"YOU F*CKING *SSHOLES! SHE WAS THERE! WITH ME! SHE WOKE UP FOR A MINUTE BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T GIVE A F*CK DID YOU?! HUH DID YOU?!?!" he collapsed to the ground, crying, but he kept screaming "AND F*CK OFF HARRY! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT NOT SWEARING IN FRONT OF YOU OR THESE OTHERS *SSHOLES! She was there... I was with her... YOU TOOK ME AWAY FROM HER!!!" he tried to jump at us. Zayn and Niall tried to keep him off us, but I stepped forward passing right under them, ignoring their warnings.

"Liam. I'm sorry for this but..." I drew back my arm and slugged him in the gut. He doubled over, winded. "Well?" I asked, as I turned to face the others "Don't just stand there! Get a nurse!" they looked at me in pure shock. I shrugged as a nurse came bursting into the room.

"What happened?!" she cried

"He fell off the bed, and I tripped over him trying to find the light switch. I heard him crying, then swearing. I think he was having a stress attack, or whatever those things are called." I replied nonchalantly. I was really good at thinking on my feet. The others looked dumbfounded. "I mean, his sister just got to the hospital, then in this coma thing, and his band schedule, it must've finally gotten to him." I added, just for affect.

The nurse bought it and got another bed for Liam, giving him sleeping medication and a stress relaxant for when he woke up. When all of that was said and done, I turned to the others and took a little fake bow.

"Your welcome!" I said, making sure my annoyence over not actually being thanked came through.

No one said a thing.

"Fine! Be that way." I fake pouted, crossing my arms and everything.

"Umm... Can we agree on one thing?" Sumi piped up

"Never tell Liam?" Josie asked

"Never tell Liam." Sumi nodded

"Never do that again?" Zayn asked

"Never again." Sumi nodded again

"No more Truth or Dare?" Louis asked meekily

"Certainly not." Harry replied

"Might I just ask one thing?" Niall chimed in "Bethany, where'd you learn to lie like that?"

They all turned towards me. I shrugged.

"Having 4 younger brothers teaches you something, I guess."

Niall laughed. "I should've known. Lou has 4 younger sisters." he smiled.

That turned the attention to Louis, who shrugged and rubbed his left arm bashfuly.

"Does that mean Sumi, you have 3 brothers, Josie you have 2 brother, Skylar, 1 sister, and Arlene, 1- er, I guess 2" he motioned towards Olivia "brothers."

"No.." Arlene looked down "Just one." Josie moved over to comfort her, rubbing her back.

"April 27. Saddest day ever." Skylar looked gloomy

"The funeral." I whispered.

"Olivia..." Niall whispered, making the connection.

"She won't make it." Zayn breathed

"But she has to! What about Liam?" Louis asked, almost pleading. Silence. Harry moved to beside Olivia's bed.

"What happened to 'never tell Liam'?" Harry asked quietly as he stroked Olivia's hair.

I had no idea.
