The Promise

Chapter 14

-Louis-

       Melody has been in the hospital for a week. She's in a coma, and she just won't wake up. She's still breathing and all, but she's just sort of asleep. The doctor said that it's just from her lack of sleep, and the shock of being shot. Harry won't leave her side. The X-Factor is over. We took 3rd place, but Melody didn't get the chance to do her final performance because of her coma. It really breaks my heart seeing Harry the way he is right now. He just sits at her bedside, holding her hand, a constant flow of tears making its way down his cheeks. He never leaves the hospital, and only leaves the room to go to the loo. We occasionally come to visit her, but nothing really happens. We just look at her, cry, and leave. It gets a little boring. The only interesting thing that she does is breathe, and occasionally twitch or something. Don't get me wrong, I love her, and I want her to wake up, but she needs to wake up...faster.

       "Mate, come on. Your mum is probably worried sick about you," I say to him.

       "I called her this morning," he says in an emotionless voice.

      "I know you did, but she wants you back home. You need to go see your family. You didn't even go to the welcome home party they arranged for you," I say, sitting down next to him.

       "Well I don't care. They didn't need to do that, they knew I wasn't coming home that day. It was a stupid move," he grumbles. How do I tell him? Simon offered us a contract with his company, and Harry doesn't know yet. He won't want to leave Melody to record, so we had to ask him for more time to consider it.

        "Harry, Simon offered us a contract with Syco. The other lads and I want to do this, but you don't want to leave Melody. Make a choice Harry, your life, your career, everything you've worked for, or her." We both look at Melody. She could pass for a dead body if her chest weren't moving.

        "Look Louis, I want to be the first person she sees when she wakes up. I don't want her to think I abandoned her. None of her family seem to care, so I'm all she has. If you lads really want the contract, then take it. You guys will survive without me, and I'll be with Melody."

       "Why Harry? Why are you trying to leave us?"

       "I never said I was leaving you, I said you guys could just do recording without me."

       "That's breaking away from the band!"

       "Then I guess I'm leaving."

      "You can't do that to us!" Suddenly the heart monitors went crazy. Her heart beat was getting really fast, and nurses were rushing into the room. Harry and I were pushed out into the hallway. I completely forgot that when someone's in a coma, they can still hear you. Maybe that happened because she heard us fighting. She always hated to hear us fight. Even when it was playful bickering. The nurses came out, followed by the doctor minutes later. The doctor walked up to us, looking a little satisfied with himself.

        "She's awake." Harry and I rush past him into the room where Melody was sitting up in her bed.

        "Melody!" Harry shouts. He runs up to her, and hugs her tight.

        "I'm sorry but, who are you?" Harry pulls back, and looks at her.

        "You don't...remember us?" Melody shakes her head.

        "I'm sorry, should I remember you?" The doctor walks in, and gives us a sad look.

        "You boys didn't let me finish. She's awake, but she lost all of her memory."

-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Oooooh. Melody lost her memory. I knowit's a little later in the afternoon, but hey, I updated on time. I'm really sorry if you're reading one of my other stories, I'm completely off schedule. My grandpa's internet wasn't working, so I couldn't work. Sorry! Oh, and I changed my user (:
