From:Jill

Lillian! You NEED to come home! It's your dad call me ASAP!!

Love you Lil xxx

My eyes widened with worry, what if something really bad happened to him? Niall gve me a curious look, I held up my finger to say 'wait' and turned around bringing the phone to my ear. The phoe rang once before Jill, my dad's bestfriend answered the phone.

'Finally Lillian! Gosh were are you?!' She said sounding worried.

'Im still at the concert, why what has happened?'

'I went to go to your room,' She said and took a deep breath 'He was just there at the bottom of the steps, I'm so sorry Lillian!' I didn't even realise that there were tears steaming down my face.

'He didn't make it did he?' I asked in a whisper.

'I'm sorry, his heart gave out before they made it to the hospital.' I could tell she was also crying, but trying to stay strong while telling me the news.

'Okay, I'll leave now.' I croaked as more tears streamed down my face. I couldn't bare to tell my little sister that the only man in her life that she trusted was gone. Never to come back, that was it. I should've been there, if I was there I could've stopped it! I could've helped....maybe he was still alive.

'Lillian! what is wrong?' Niall asked pulling me into a bear hug.

'W-we have t-to go' I stuttered. I then remembered Gracie...what am I going to tell her?

'Why? Whats wrong? You can tell me anything' He said pulling back so he could look me in the eye.

Nervous that Gracie may hear I pulled him out into the hall. 'It's m-my d-dad he passed a-away' I shuttered as more tears made there way down my cheeks.

Niall pulled me into a hug, 'Do they know what happened to him?' He whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

'His heart g-gave out, m-my a-aunt found him at the bottom of the ste-steps.' I managed to get out. At his point I was crying harder. He continued to hug and stroke my hair.

'Shhhh! It's okay...i'm hear for you Lil.'

We both pulled back and he wipednthe tears off my cheeks with his thumb. He leaned in and gave me a kiss on the forehead, 'Do you want someone to come with you?' He asked with an concerned look.

I nodded my head 'That would be nice.'

'Okay, I'll ask the boys to watch Gracie until we come back.' Before he went back into the room I asked him not to say anything to the boys infront of Gracie. He nodded his head and continued on, I couldn't bare to tell her right now. Expecially when this is supposed to be the best day of her life.

It only was a moment before Niall came back out. He gabbed my hand and interwined our fingers as he lead me out of the place through the back. We got into a car and Niall told the driver where to go, I assumed it was the boys personal driver. Niall and I sat in the back seat with his arm around me while I leaned my head on his shouler. For someone I have known for about 3 hours, the silence is comforting.

It didn't take long to get to the hospital but, when we did I didn't hesitate before getting out of the car and running in, realization hit me and tears were streaming again. Niall followed behind me as I made it to reception, 'Where is Ewan Smith?' My voice cracked as I finnished my sentance.
