Sarah Ballard woke up in a hospital to remember that her fiancé, Niall Horan, is in a coma. Niall flat lined and had surgery. He is alive again but still in a coma. Sarah felt Niall lightly squeeze her hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah's P.O.V.
I'm on a side walk near my house. I look to my left and see a car coming and to my right Niall crossing the street. I see Harry next to me screaming Niall's name. Niall stops in the middle of the street and looks at Harry. I try screaming to Niall to move but nothing comes out. So I try running but I can't move. All I can do is watch as the car comes closer and closer. All of a sudden the car hits Niall. Niall goes over the hood of the car, over the trunk and onto the pavement behind the car. There's blood on the car's hood and trunk. I notice I can move my feet and run to Niall. He's unconscious, bruises all over his face and arms and legs. His right leg seems broken. There's blood on his face.

I bolt up right. I look around and see I'm in Niall's hospital room. I sigh. It was a dream. Ive been having the same dream every time I went to sleep. look at Niall and see he still hasn't moved from when I first saw him, maybe 2 weeks ago. Some of his bruises have faded. The doctor in wrapped his ankle. I haven't left this hospital room unless Harry forced me to go home and shower and change. Last time he came was this morning around 8ish, it's currently 4pm. I grab Niall's hand and wrap both hands around it. "Come on, Niall. Squeeze my hand. You did it before, you can do it again," I say to him. "Babe, he's not going to squeeze your hand again. He's in a coma still," I hear a British voice say behind me. I jump dropping Niall's hand. "Jesus, Louis. You scared me half to death," I say seeing Louis in the doorway. "Sorry 'bout that," he says. I face Niall and grab his hand. "It's like a part of me is missing. I can't function correctly without him. I know he's not dead, but we don't know if he's ever gonna wake up, or if he does, when. He could be brain dead or not remember me at all or me actually dating him," I say. "He's going to be okay," Louis says next to me. "What if he doesn't want anything to do with me if he wakes up," I say looking up at Louis with tears in my eyes. Louis sits down in the chair next to me and says, "Niall loves you more than anything. He would take a bullet for you without thinking." I wipe away the tears that fell. "I'm going to get some water from the vending machine down the hall. You want anything?" Louis continues. "I'm good. But thank you," I say kindly. "Alright. I'll be back," he says. "Okay," is all I say. I hear him get up then the door close behind him. A few minutes later the door opens again. "That was fast," I say turning around expecting to see Louis. Instead, I see Roselinde Lang, a girl who use to be my friend since I moved back to America up until 3 weeks ago. (She basically got me to believe that she slept with Niall a lot while I was kidnapped for 6 months. She also dated Louis for 4 years. She broke up with him.) "Roselinde. What are you doing here?" I say standing up. "I'm here to see my friend that is in the hospital," she says walking over to me. "Friend," I laugh. "You're a bitch to the boys and me. You are not Niall's friend," I say. "I am not a bitch to anyone!" Roselinde snaps. "Oh really? Says the girl who claimed that she slept with my fiancé," I say crossing my arms. "I may be a bitch to you, but I'm not a bitch to the boys," she claims. That's when I lose it. "You fucking cheated on my best friend! Not to mention it was with Trevor! I was being a good friend and kept your dirty secret. I even kept it after I pushed you out of my life. But right now, claiming that you're not a bitch to the boys. I dont know if I can live with the fact that you cheated on Louis not even 2 years into the relationship and know that I never told him. You're the ultimate bitch, Roselinde," I snap at her. I hear a bang come from behind Roselinde. She turns around as move to her right. When I see what I saw, I wish I could erase it from my memory. Louis is standing in the doorway and his water bottle is on the floor. His face is what killed me. There's tears going down his face and he looks like he's about to die. Out of the 18 years I've known Louis, I have never seen him this upset, and I've known Louis my entire live. My breath is caught in my throat. I walk towards him, that's when I notice that Harry, Liam, Zayn, Maya, and Alyssa are standing behind him. "Louis, I-" is all I make out before he puts a hand up to stop me. "I thought we told each other everything, Sarah," Louis says as tears roll down his cheek. "I'm so sorry, Louis," I say. "Save it," is all Louis says before pushing through the group behind him. "Can you guys watch Niall and get her out of here?" I ask. "Of course," Maya says. "Where are you going?" Zayn asks. "To Louis. You guys may say I'm crazy and he needs to be alone. But, being I may have just ruined my friendship with the one guy who has stuck by my side no matter what, I have to go make this right," I say. And with that I run out of the room and to the one place I know where Louis would be heading in New York City. Central Park.
