Team USA finished in 1st place barely. We would have won by much more if I could have done my floor, but I couldn't. I sat in Skylar's hospital room and waited for her to wake up. While looking through my Facebook, I got a text. My phone read- that adorable Irish boy you met- I laughed again before reading the text 'is Skylar okay? Can we come see you guys?' I looked at my friend, who was still teetering between unconscious and conscious. I replied quickly 'she's not too good right now :( please come see us! Room 316'

Soon later I heard the boys talking in the hall. They stopped in front of the door and got quiet, then the door was gangly pushed open.

"Hey!" They all whisper-shouted. I shushed them before hugging all of them. At the end of the Line stood Niall, the charming Irish boy I wanted to hold. I walked towards him but first said,

"Real classy, putting your contact in my phone last night" he laughed and pulled me in for the hug. I was trying so hard to be strong for Skylar, trying not to cry, not to worry. She would've hated knowing how much I was worrying right now. I tried to stay strong but when the boy held me in his arms, the tears just came flooding down. I saw the others kiss Skylar on the cheek through my teary eyes. Niall just sat me in his lap and held me, balled up like an innocent child, in his lap. I buried my head in his chest wanting to block out everything. I wanted to escape this reality and wake up and realize it was all a dream. He stroked my gold-blonde hair. I felt safe in his arms and he sang a song I didn't think he would know softly to me,

" I remember years streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go, when all those shadows almost killed the light,"

He continued, and I was running out of tears. He must've sang the song three times before I dozed off in his safe, strong arms.
