Forbidden Love

Chapter 10

**Liam’s POV**

All I can do is try to keep my head up and comfort Zayn, Niall, Harry, and Louis on the phone. He’d call every 20 minutes to check up on Mia. All of us were in tears. Mia’s been in surgery for a while. Louis said that they were coming back as fast as they can. They were warming up before their game when Harry called him. They only have one game and they were going to stay the rest of the week in London for celebration or if they lost just to have fun. Niall and Harry both lost one of their best mates, other than Zayn, Louis, and myself. All of Louis’ other friends are on the football team. Zayn, well Zayn only has us. Harry’s best mates, Chris, died. Niall’s best mate, Stevie, died. Zayn’s mum still hasn’t come, but she did call. We’ve been waiting an hour for results on Mia. The school bought all of us at the hospital lunch, but none of us ate, even Niall, and that’s saying something. My mum, Niall’s mum, and Harry’s mum came and checked on us. I wonder what we must have looked like. Four teenage lads, from a school that there was a shooting this morning, covered in some blood, crying, and sitting in the waiting room. I looked over at Niall. He was smirking.

“What are you thinking about Nialler?” I asked, but my voice was cracking a little bit due to crying.

“I was thinking about before the test, Mia and I were talking about how you didn’t warn us about the test. Well said that if we failed to kill you and now…” Niall leaned back in his chair with his head against the wall and squeezed his eyes shut. “I should’ve stayed. She wouldn’t be having lifesaving surgery right now. If I stayed she’d be safe and we wouldn’t be sitting here right now, we’d be at each other’s house waiting on updates on other students. It’s my fault.” Niall whispered the last part and never opened his eyes.

“Niall, don’t say that. It’s not your fault. If it’s anyone’s fault, its Damon’s. He fucks everything up for her.” Zayn told him. Harry and I agreed with Zayn. I looked at the doors and saw a doctor come out.

“Where is the family of Mia Malik.” He asked.

“That’s us.” I said as I stood up.

“Okay so she made it through the surgery. If she wakes up in the next 3 days she’ll have a 100% chance of survival.” The Doctor explained. I felt my heart sink. 3 days? I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

“C-can we go see her?” Niall asked seeing as I couldn’t even talk.

“Sure. If she wakes up call us, okay?” The doctor told us before walking away.

*Mia’s POV*

I can hear everything, but can’t see. Holy shit did I go blind? I like seeing, especially Niall. I know that Niall thinks he’s ugly and has ugly teeth, but I don’t care about his appearance. I love him for him. The crazy, food loving, Irish idiot named Niall James Horan.

“Mia…” A distant voice spoke to me.

“Mia, please wake up. I need you. I know that I haven’t been the best brother to you, but I promise I’ll be there for you more.” I hear Zayn say before his kissed my for head. I heard shuffling and someone grab my hand.

“Mia, I know you can hear us and that you’re trying to wake up. We need you, okay. Niall needs you. None of us have stopped crying okay. I don’t know what would happen if you… I can’t even say it. love you please wake up. Not in the way you think you think Niall.” Liam said and mirrored Zayn’s actions. Wake up Mia, c’mon wake up. I heard someone clear their voice.

“Mia, wake up. We miss your sassy self.” Harry said before getting up. Simply but affective. I felt someone held my hand and started stroking my hair.
