Leaving You

Zayn's P.O.V

An hour ago I learned that my best friend might be dying. He crashed into a tree trying to dodge fans in his Range Rover. My best friend for almost 7 years could just pass away on an operation table without his best friends.

In front of me tears streamed down everyone's face. All band members, girlfriends, and close management were wiping away tears. It was astonishing to see how many people Niall's affected. My hands wiped away any stray tears quickly.

"I-I can't believe....." Leah began but it was to much for her. Out of everyone here Leah was the closest to him and it was killing her. I wrapped my arms around her entire body engulfing the state she was in. Never have I seen her like this, ever. Not when I put her in the hospital or when I proposed. This was her best friend too.

Suddenly a female doctor walked in with a clip board. Her tag read "Franks" . Everyone's head picked up from their grieving state. Backs of hands were used to brush away tears.

"Hello I'm Doctor Franks. I just got out of surgery with your friend Niall. Is his family here ?" Her quiet voice spoke gently. We all struggled for words.

"His family is in Ireland. We are his family here." Liam pipped up with red eyes. I've only seen Liam cry a select few times and now was one of them. Doctor Franks cleared her throat and fiddled with her clip board.

"Well he lost a lot of blood and has many cuts. Niall's face is pretty damaged so don't be surprised if he looks different." She stopped. His face is damaged ?

"Can we see him ?" Leah picked up. I looked down at the girl in my arms. Her long, deep brown hair was frizzy and her eyes were red. She was a mess and it broke me.

"He's in ICU for 48 hours. There is a window that you can look through to see him. Once that 48 hours is up we'll wheel him here where you can see him. He's in a coma." A few cries started back up at the word coma. Niall was out of it.

"Thank you ma'am." Liam thanked. She nodded sympathetically and left us. We were back to ourselves again. A small lift was in the mood because we knew he was alive.

"Shall we see him ?" Louis asked getting up. He was holding a teary Eleanor in his arms.

"Yeah I saw it when I came in." Harry choked. His fingers combed through his curls messily. We all got up in unison and exited.

Just down the hall was a massive clear window. It had many empty hospital beds with only two taken. One was Niall and another was a female burn victim. The glass separated us from hugging and talking to our friend. My heart ached at his body laid out with tubes and machines everywhere. His body was lifeless in the white room. It was the worst thing in the world to know that I couldn't do anything to help him.

"Management wants us to give a statement." Liam spoke up from the other end of the line facing the window.

"Now ?" Louis asked with annoyance. Our state was hideous and they wanted us to go on TV ?

"For Niall." Eleanor spoke. We all shook our heads and walked back to the room.

Liam made a call and news people came running inside. Paul and a few other guards held them back so we wouldn't be mobbed in his room. Once everything settled down we all huddled together in a group. Questions were coming from everywhere, it was overwhelming.

"How is Niall ?" A female voice shouted. Microphones were pointed at Liam because he stood ahead if everyone else. He held Dani in his arms as he prepared his words.

"Niall just got out of surgery. His doctor updated us just minutes ago. His in ICU with a coma. At this time we can only....only see him through the window." Liam spoke batti g away tears. Louis comforted him with a pat in the back. Dani whispered into his ears and he nodded.

"What happened today ?" A man asked waving a camera. I decided to take this one.

"Niall was driving outside of London when he was mobbed by fans. He ran to his car and tried to drive away. A large group wax in the road and he swerved into a tree. The fans are everything to him, he would never hurt them. Even if that meant hurting himself instead." My eyes welted up and released fluids of tears. Leah opened her arms and brought me in.

"We just want all the fans to go home and get some rest. Keep Niall in your prayers tonight. Please leave the outside of the hospital, we don't want anyone not to be able to get treatment themselves. Niall would want this." Louis spoke with free tears. He didn't even bother to bat them away. El held him tightly in a hug.

"We'll update everyone when we know more." Harry spoke while security helped them out. Once they were gone you could've heard a pin dropped in the suite.

"I'm staying." Harry spoke.

"Us too." Eleanor spoke up got her and Lou.

"Us too." I squeaked.
