“Why not?” I spat.

“She is still being heavily monitored, it would be best if you just stayed in bed and rested,” the nurse said, as she  tucked me in. 

“When will I be able to see her?” I asked.

“I’ll let you know tomorrow,” the nurse said writing something down on a clipboard.

“I’ll go check on her,” my mum said when the nurse left the room. I smiled as I watched my mom leave the room.  

       I nervously bit away what nails I had left as I waited on my mom. A nurse came in and brought me dinner. I tried to keep a smile when she reviled the terrible looking food under the cover.  I poked at what they called meat, but thankfully someone knocked on my door.

"Come in," I said pushing the food away.

"Hey!" Louis yelled.

"Hey," the rest of the boys said quietly.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked surprised.

"What do you mean?" Zayn asked.

"We heard you were in the hospital,"

"Don't sneak off like that again," Paul said sternly.

"Sorry," I said.

"So how did you do it?" Niall asked.

"I fell on it a weird way," I explained.

"How?" Liam asked.

"I fell off the balcony," I paused seeing all of their faces change. I really do let things slip.

"What balcony?" I was just about to respond to all of my band mates but my mum walked in.

"How is she?" I asked ignoring everyone else in the room.

"I'll tell you later," she said smiling at the boys.

"Tell me now," I demanded. Everyone looked at me, surprised how mad I got.

"She's in a coma. I don't think it's a good idea for you to go see her,"

"Why not?" I asked frustrated everyone kept saying that.

"We should talk about this later," my mom said.

"Are you talking about Katherine?" Niall asked. My mum nodded.

"Why is she in a coma?" Liam asked concerned.

"The doctors said she over dosed," my mum said. Those words hit me like a brick wall. I just let it all out. All the emotions that I've been shielding from everyone burst through me. Everyone became silent.

"I could have been there for her. I could have done more for her," I said between sobs.

"Is this why you always," Louis trailed off.

"Can I talk to you outside?" My mom said walking out the door. Louis followed. I used my open hand and cleaned off my face.

"Why did she?" Liam asked quietly.

"She didn't say," I said between sobs.

"You couldn’t have stopped her," Zayn said stepping closer to my bed.

“Yes I could have! If I wasn’t in New York I could have been here quicker and stopped her!” I couldn’t control any of my emotions. A nurse rushed in hearing all of the noise. Everyone became silent.

“I think it would be best if you all left,” she said looking at every single one of them. I was livid; I felt my hand curl up and formed a fist. My jaw begun to hurt from clenching down so hard. They nodded and gave me one last look before filing out of the room.

   The nurse adjusted my pillow before leaving. I wasn’t attached to anything; I just had a sling supporting my arm. I exhaled, but it didn’t help lift the weight off my shoulders. My thoughts only went to her. Is she okay? How long was she lying there until I came? Where the hell was everyone? Why did she do it? I hoped she would wake and give me answers. I hoped she would wake so I could see her beautiful eyes once again. I would give anything for her to wake. I’d quit just to be by her side if she does.

   My head started pounding; I tilted it back and rested my neck. I sighed feeling my body finally relax. I knew I would be fully relaxed until Katherine is back at home, and well.
