A Dream Is A Dream

My world's falling apart

I woke up to a circle of 3 boys and Kay. "She's up!" Kay yelled. The doctor came running over and checked a few things.

I looked down and noticed Liam holding my hand. I pulled away. "Uh..oh.. Um, I..didn't.. It wasnt.. I.. Ya see," Liam tried to explain himself.

"Liam kept saying 'squeeze my hand if you can here me.' That's why he was holding your hand." Zayn said.

I nodded, trying to believe the story. "Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the hospital." Zayn said.

"Why?"

The boys looked at each other. Kay stepped into the middle of them, facing me.

"I don't think she's ready." Liam said.

"Not ready for what!?" I questioned. "I can take on anything."

"She'll be fine." Harry said.

Kay held my hands and looked me in the eyes. "Have you ever had a seizure?" She asked.

I started freaking out. "A SEIZURE!? I HAD A SEIZURE!?" The machine went off and everyone tried to calm me down. He doctor came over and stuck a needle in me.

"Yes, you had a seizure." Harry told me.

I alternated looks between the boys and Kay. Something was missing. "Where's Am and Niall?" I asked.

Everyone suspiciously looked at each other. "There..is..someone, out to.." Zayn started. "Maybe we shouldn't tell her."

"How many times are you gonna say that!?" I asked.

"Hey! Liam said it last time! Not me!" Zayn complained.

"Whatever. Just tell me already!" I said.

Liam continued what Zayn had started. "Someone is out to get us. Ya remember the person who shot Louise? Well... They shot Niall."

"Wh-wh-what!?" I screamed. "NOO! Where's Am!?"

Harry said, "She's in critical care with Niall. They're just across the hall in the other ro-" he was interrupted.

Am had walked in. "8:46pm." She said.

"Yeah. It's 8:46, what about it?" Liam asked, checking his watch.

"The time of Niall James' Horan's death." She kept walking, not making eye contact with anyone. Just staring at the wall.

Everyone ran to hug her, except me cuz I was stuck in bed. But I attempted to get out of bed and run per to her and give her a big bear hug! Yeah. That didn't go too well... I got really dizzy when I stood up and I fell to the ground. No one heard anything besides Liam. He rushed over to me and picked me up an put me on the bed.

Our eyes locked. I looked away. No! I can't be getting into another relationship with someone. Not yet, at least! And especially not with my old boyfriends close friend. He would remind me too much of Louise.

-----------------

The doctor came into the room. He looked towards Am. "I'm sorry for your loss." Then he looked towards the whole group. "Everyone's loss."

He looked towards me. "You will be released tomorrow morning." Then he walked out of the room.

Then we all decided the sleeping arrangements. Liam volunteered to stay with me, while the rest go home with Am for moral support. Everyone agreed.

After everyone ha left, me and Liam were in the dark room, all alone.

"So.. Are you going to stay up or sleep?" I asked.

"It depends. What so you want me to do?" He asked.

"Well, I'm not really in the mood for sleep."

"Yeah, mean either."

It's been really weird lately. Liam's been acting all lovey dicey lately. I hope he doesn't like me. I couldn't dare date him. I mid. Louise too much......

I started to cry.

I sat there, just balling my eyes out. Liam had hugged me, it was comforting in his arms. "Everything will be okay." He said.

He was really strong. I don't think I've seen him cry once this whole time. And with everything going on-

I sat up but he continued hugging me. "So are we going to reschedule Louise's funeral? I haven't even finished packing yet." I asked.

"Yeah, probably. And we might combined Niall's and Louise's funerals together."

I nodded. We sat and talked for a while then the thought came into my mind. I said, "Do you think the killer will strike again? Will they kill everyone in one direction? Will they kill me and Kay and Am? Will they kill each boys' family, and then the girls' family?" I was worried.

Liam thought about it. Then he said, "They might. But we don't need to worry about the future. Or the past, we need to live in the present. And just know that you're always safe in my arms."

That was so sweet of him. He always knows just the right things to say. I hugged him.

I looked at the clock behind him, it said 2:39am. I purposefully fell asleep in his arms.

I thought to myself as I was drifting asleep. I don't know what is going to happen between us. But like a wise man once said, "...Don't worry about the future. Or the past, we need to live in the present..."

I giggled at my joke. Cuz ya know, the wise man was Liam. Lol whatever. I needed to get to sleep.

And that's just what I did.
