Kate's POV

I practically ran into the hospital. I went to the check in desk so I could go back to see Luke.

"Hi, I'm Kate. I'm here to see Luke Hemmings. He was admitted about fifteen minutes ago," I explained to the woman behind the counter.

"Ah, yes. Mr. Hemmings is in room forty one. Go to your right, and it's the forth door on the left," I nodded, and she sent me a warm smile.

I was feeling a rush of emotions as I speedily walked towards Luke's hospital room. I was nervous, and I was scared, nonetheless. When I got to the room, I knocked lightly, but I didn't get a response.

I twisted the knob slowly, and when I opened it slightly, I saw him lying in the bed. He was still unconscious, and he was connect to a bunch of machines. They were all beating at a steady rate. I nearly broke down, but I held it together for the sake of the situation.

I walked in quietly, and I carefully shut the door. There was a nurse writing things on a board. She looked like she was old enough to be one of our moms. She noticed me as soon as the door closed.

"Hi, I'm Sharon. I'll be Luke's nurse for the time that he's here. You must be his girlfriend?" She greeted. I shook my head.

"No, we're just friends," I said sadly. "We've been best friends since we were six," I informed. I felt my stomach flip as I said those words. I wanted to be more than friends with him, but I wasn't sure if he felt the same way.

"Aw, that's cute," she said. She turned back around and continued writing her contact information on the dry erase board, in case of an emergency with Luke.

"W-What happened with Luke? Like, why'd he pass out? Do you know?" I asked her quickly.

"It was mostly from dehydration and malnutrition. We ran some test, and they showed that he's hasn't really eaten in days. It also came from lack of sleep. For our visual tests, by the red and puffiness of his eyes, we could tell that he had been crying before he passed out. From all of those factors I mentioned before, the crying cause him to pass out," she explained simply. "Well, if that's all, I'll be going now to give you guys some privacy. My contact information is on the board. If he wakes up, call me immediately," she instructed.

She walked past me to leave, but I stopped her before she could get out of the door. "Do you think he'll remember any of what happened before he passed out?"

"Most likely, yes," she started, chuckling. "But, he may be a bit confused as to where he is at first. If he sees a familiar face, he'll remember quickly. Good luck!" She walked out of the room, and I walked across the room to take a seat in the chair directly next to Luke's bed.

I sat for a while before a tired sleep started to take over my body. I didn't want to fall asleep before I texted one of my friends, so I quickly pulled out my cell phone to text Ashton.

Kate
Hey, Ash. Luke isn't awake yet, but they have him on a bunch of fluids, so he should be up soon. Would you guys mind waiting?

He texted me back moments later.

Ash x
sure...calum and michael are going to go home, but caitlyn said she's going to stay.

My insides started to burn with jealousy, but I pushed it back. I was sure Luke would never choose her over me, but with the incident at hand, my certainty wavered a little.

Kate
Okay, that's fine.

I closed my phone and let sleep overtake me. I dreamt about the conversation Luke and I would have when he woke up, and I silently prayed that it would go well.

The buzzing of my phone brought me out of my sleep. I looked at the screen to find the Ashton was calling, so I answered quickly.
