---------------------------------------------------
It's Christmas Eve here in New York City. There's a about an inch of snow on the ground and just barely snowing. We all agreed to stay here for Christmas. I guess we just want to spend our last Christmas together before the boys start touring and Torn Silent goes on tour. You'd think Id be happy, being tomorrow's Christmas and the boys are here with Alyssa , Maya and me. Well, I'm kinda sad, actually. Christmas is tomorrow and Niall still is in the hospital. The boys, Alyssa, and Maya have been very secretive lately. When I come into the room everyone stops talking. Niall's doctor won't tell me when he's getting discharged. I'm scared that something's wrong and no one wants to be the one to tell me. Oh my god. What if he's dying? I mean it's terrible thing to think. But that'd explain why everyone has been so secretive around me.

"Sarah, go home. It's getting late. Go spend the rest of the night with the lads," Niall says snapping me from my thoughts. I'm currently sitting in the chair next to his bed. "I don't want you to be alone on Christmas Eve though," I say. "Sar, I'm probably just going to go to bed or watch tv. Go enjoy yourself," he says. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" I ask before getting up. "I'm sure," he says. I put my coat on and grab my purse and keys. "I love you," I say standing next to his bed. "I love you too," Niall says. I lean down and kiss him. "I'll see you tomorrow," I say smiling at him. I walk out of his room and see Louis and Zayn walk down the hall, coming from the opposite way I'm going. Louis has been friendly to me, but not the way it us too. I miss him. He's not the Louis I've know my whole life. I just want him to forgive me. I know it'll never be the same, but I hope I didn't screw up everything. I wave at them but try to not draw attention to them. The paps have been swarming the hospital trying to get some gossip on Niall and the rest of boys. The two boys wave back. I walk to my car and hop in. It takes me 20 minutes to get home, giving there's snow on the ground. I pull into the drive way and hop out, locking the car behind me. I walk inside and hear a scream come from the living room. I drop my things on the counter in the kitchen and quickly head to the noise. I see Alyssa, Harry, Maya, and Liam in the living room watching a horror movie, I assume. Alyssa is hiding behind Harry, along with Maya behind Liam. Harry looks at me. I mouth I'm going to my room and point toward my room. He nods his head. He holds up his index finger indicating to hold on. I walk into the kitchen. I hang my coat up in the hall closet. "How is he?" I hear a British accent say behind me. I turn around and see Harry, "he's doing good." "How are you holding up?" Harry asks as we walk into the kitchen. "I'm fine. I just wish someone would tell me when he's getting discharged," I say. There's a pause between us as I put my keys away. All of a sudden this ball of anger rises. I grab Harry's wrist and drag him into a spare room. I let go of his wrist and close the door. "Why has everyone been so secretive around me lately? It's like everyone's hiding something from me," I say. There's a pause before Harry says, "what do you mean? No one's hiding anything." "You and I both know that's a bunch of bullshit. Is something wrong and everyone's afraid to tell me?" I say. "No. Sarah, there's nothing wrong," Harry says. "Then why the bloody hell is everyone being so fucking quiet around me!" I nearly yell. "Look, I can't tell you why, yet. But nothing is wrong," he says. "When can you tell me?" I say sighing. "Tomorrow maybe," he says. "Fine," I say. Harry goes back to the living room. I grab my purse from the kitchen and go to my room.

Christmas Day
I wake up to Alyssa jumping on my bed and making as much noise as possible. "Let me sleep," I groan. I feel a body plop down on me and a girl voice say, "nope." I open my eyes to Alyssa sitting on me. "You're not gonna get off me, are you?" I say. She just gives me a cheeky grin. "Fine, I'll get up," I say. Alyssa hops off me. I walk into my bathroom. "I'll be out in a sec," I say to Alyssa. I close the bathroom door. I quickly brush my teeth. I then place a towel in my mouth and make two deep cuts into my wrists. It's been kinda of a regular thing. I know it's depressing and I should take my medicine, but I don't. And I don't know why. I rinse my wrist and put a bandaid over it. I hang the towel back up and walk out. I put on a zip up hoodie. Alyssa and I walk to the kitchen. "What time is it?" I ask getting a glass of water. "10:00," Alyssa says. "Shit! I was suppose to be at the hospital by 9!" I say putting the glass on the counter. "I'll drive you over. Go get ready," she says. "Thank you," I say running to my room. I quickly get dressed. I'm wearing a maroon pull over sweater, black leggings, and maroon converse. I put on my engagement ring. (Outfit above.) I quickly put on mascara. I grab my phone and walk to the kitchen. I put my phone my pocket. "Okay let's go," I say. We walk outside. Alyssa grabs my arm and walks me away from the front door. "Alyssa, I have to lock the door," I say. She doesn't respond. "Alyssa," I say confused. She stops walking and let's go of my arm. We're at where the black top meets the side walk leading to the front door. "Alyssa, what's going on?" I ask facing her, my back toward the street. "Just turn around," Alyssa says. I give her a confused look. I turn around to see Harry's car pulling in. I didn't even realize he was gone. Harry gets out of the car. "What do you want me to look at? Harry came home. Big deal," I say facing Alyssa. All she says is, "look." I turn back around. I see Harry helping someone out of the car. "Easy," I hear an Irish accent say. Is it-No, that couldn't be I think to myself. Harry gets the person out of the car. That's when I see him. "Niall!" I basically scream. You maybe wondering why I'm so surprised. Well, I never saw him walk while he was in the hospital, I didn't know if he physically couldn't or what, and two, no one told me he was discharged today. I walk over to them. Niall looks at me when I get close. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. Niall wraps his arms around me. "Why didn't you tell me your coming home?" I say letting go. "I wanted to surprise you," Niall says. I put my right arm around his back and he puts his left arm around my shoulders. Harry and I help Niall inside, with the help of Alyssa opening and closing doors an getting things out of our way. Harry and I get Niall on the couch. As soon as I sit down next to Niall, the door bell rings. "I'll get it," I groan getting up. I walk to the front door. I open the door to see an African American lady with black and blue hair standing there. (I'm not racist, just giving descriptions.) "Hi, sorry to disturb your Christmas, but I think this is yours. It was in my mail box," the lady says. "Yea, thanks," I say taking it. I swear I've seen her before I think. "I haven't seen you around much. Did you just move in?" the lady continues. "Wait, you don't know who I am?" I ask confused. Everyone knows me, being my fiancé and brother are in One Direction. "No. Should I?" The lady says. "I'm Sarah," I say reaching out my hand. "Ray," she says shaking my hand. Wait, I know that name. "Ray as in Ray Black?" I ask putting my hand on the door. "Yes. How do you know my last name?" Ray asks. "We were friends up 'till Junior year in high school," I say. "Sarah! What's taking so long?!" I hear Alyssa scream then two sets of footsteps. "Oh my god. I'm so rude. Come on in. You must be freezing," I say stepping aside. "Sarah, who was-Ray!" Maya says. "Maya, Alyssa? What are you guys doing here?" Ray asks. "Came to spend Christmas with Sarah and her brother," Alyssa says. "You have a brother?" Ray asks me. "Yea. He's in the living room. Follow me. I'll introduce you to him," I say. Ray doesn't follow media or the news, well, celebrity gossip for that matter. So she has no idea I know One Direction. She's a huge fan, also, so this will be interesting. "Who was at the door?" Niall asks when we walk in. "Guys, this is Ray. Ray this is-" One Direction. I'm a huge fan," Ray says interrupting me. "We went high school together in case you're wondering," Maya says. "Well, great to meet you Ray," Louis says. I see Ray blush, she's had a huge crush on Louis since the boys went on the X-Factor. I should probably tell her I grew up with him. "Well, we're gonna go to my room if you guys care," I say before we walk to my room. I close the door behind us when we get there. I get my phone out and send Niall a quick text. I did ditch him as soon as he got home.
