She's Not Afraid (1D)

Hiding From The Past

**Sophie'sPOV**

The tears streamed from my eyes when the words left the doctors mouth. I felt Harry's grasp tighten on my shoulder.

"How long will it be for doctor?" Louis croaked, he cleared his throat. I could tell he was also upset by it all.

"It's unknown to us currently how long it will be for" He replied. "I'll leave you guys to it then" He left the room, me choking on my tears when he had gone.  I got to my feet, falling into Harry's arms. He patted my back, telling me that everything would be okay. It was like a replay of when Max had been in hospital, I wasn't able to sleep for weeks knowing he was trapped in this place. Having no way of escaping, it scared me to think.

I lifted my head from Harry's chest, looking over at Louis who was stood staring at Taylor's lifeless body, not blinking. His face had no expression, Simon patted Louis' back. 

"Come on, I'll take you down to the cafe and buy you all a drink" Simon smiled. 

I shook my head, pulling away from Harry "I want to stay here" I sobbed, using my fingers to wipe the tears from my face. 

"So do I" Louis agreed, walking over to sit down in the seat I was earlier sat in. 

"Harry?" Simon asked looking at Harry. 

"Will you be okay without me for a few minutes?" Harry asked me, planting a kiss on my forehead as I looked up at him.

I nodded, as he placed one final kiss before exiting the room with Simon. It became silent as Louis grabbed me, wrapping his arms around me. and pulling me to sit on his lap. I rested my chin on the top of his head, letting the tears spill from my eyes. I could feel his breathing becoming unsteady, meaning he was also crying.

Simon and Harry came back about an hour later, followed by the rest of the boys. I jumped from Louis' lap running to Zayn and wrapping my arms around him. He stroked my hair, squeezing me tight. 

"You okay squirt?" He tapped the bottom of my chin making me splutter out a small laugh. 

"Never been worse" I cried as he wiped the tears from my face. 

Niall and Liam ran to Louis, beginning to comfort him as Dan, Phil, Harry and Simon came over to me and Zayn as we continued to hold each other. I pulled away, turning to face Dan and Phil who stood staring over at Taylor, there faces dropping. Dan turned to face me, pushing my hair from my face. He gave me a small smile before both of them pulled me in for a hug. The moment was interuppted as the doctor entered the room again. 

"Guys, I'm sorry but it's time for you to leave" His eyes made contact with mine. "Sophie can you stay here please, I need to talk to you before you go" I sniffled, wiping the remaining tears from my eyes. 

All the boys exited the room, giving me small smiles as they went out. Harry blowing me a kiss as he shut the door. I stood awkwardly waiting for the conversation to start. The doctor neared closer to me, as he stood in front of me I realised how tall he actually was. I strained my neck to look up at his smiling face.

"Are you alright?" He said, resting a hand on my back. 

I pushed it away. "What gives you the right to touch me" I hissed at him. 

"Listen, I'm a changed man. I would never do what I tried to do to Max to Taylor" He sighed, placing a hand to his heart. His grey hair falling across his face. 

"You tried to get rid of my brother, you wanted to pull his life support when you were so close to the end of his surgery. Why?" I spat at him.

"He was going to die anyway" He shrugged.
