another lifeline

nooooooo!

The show continued without further news.

As soon as the lights were turned off, I hurried backstage.

Followed by the other lads I made my way to the dressing room.

I quickly changed and sprayed some deo before leaving the room again.

I went to look for Aria but got worried when I couldn't find her immediately.

Liam was next to come out of the room and he also noticed the girls were not yet here.

'Where are they?'

'I have no idea.' 

When it was silent again, I heard that there was still a lot of noise in the performing area. 

Was it possible I even heard crying?

Niall and Louis soon also came out, Zayn was last like usual.

'Ooh, were are the girls?'

'We were wondering about the same Louis.'

When we heard footsteps we all turned around.

It was Paul and he didn't look happy. 

He was speaking in his phone while jogging to us.

What was going on?

He said goodbye to whoever he was speaking to and hang up. 

He looked as worried as I was and as soon as he reached us he grabbed my arm.

'Harry. It's Aria,'

He started to drag with me with him as he jogged back.

'Wait what? Whats wrong with her?'

I followed him and heard the other boys doing the same.

'The ambulance is coming.'

'Paul, please what's going on?!!'

'We don't know yet but I think she got unwell.'

'What! Where is she?' 

I release my arm and started to run harder.

I pushed the doors leading to where she was sitting open and looked around.

I noticed a lot of guards stopping the crowd who was watching the scene in horror, a lot of them crying.

I noticed a sobbing Eleanor who was holding Lux. 

Danielle was seated next to her, holding her hand with shock in her eyes.

Lou had Aria's head in her lap while one of the nurses we had for emergency was doing something with Aria.

When I saw Aria lying there with her fragile body and thick belly, unconscious, I felt something break in me.

'Aria!' I heard my own scream as I knelt down next to her.

Tears streaming over my face I took her hand, I wasn't ashamed to show my tears.

This was my girl who was lying here.

I noticed the others had also entered now.

Louis and Liam went to comfort their girlfriends while Niall took Lux from Eleanor.

Zayn sat down next to me, putting his arm over my shoulder.

'Is... Is there nothing you can do?' 

I liftted up my head to the nurse who was doing god-may-know-what.

'Not for now, I just gave her something. I'm not a real docter, I'm sorry. But the ambulance should be here soon.' 

She looked worried at her watch while she had Aria's wrist in her hand.

I stroked Aria's hair.

'Please, Aria, wake up.'

But she didn't, she just kepy lying there without any movement.

'Is the ambulance not yet there?'

The nurse called out again. 

A securityguard showed up.

'Almost, from outside we can hear the sirens.'

Please, please, let them be here soon.

Now we could clearly hear the sound of the sirens and Paul sprinted out to show them the way.

A minute later he returned with two men pushing a stretcher.

They kneeled down next to Aria and covered her from my view. 

A second later she was lying on the stretcher with an oxygen mask on her mouth.

They already wheeled her out and I followed. 

'Please! Can I come?'

One of them nodded. 'Two persons allowed.'

'I'll come too.'

Zayn stood up at my side. 

I tryed to smile at him but I don't think it came trough my tears.

'It's okay.'

I left the others as I hurried with them behind the stretcher.

There was the girl I loved and I couldn't leave her.

And she couldn't leave me.

I jumped in the ambulance as we sped off to the hospital.

I couldn't loose her.

Sorry! Please don't kill me!
