Chapter 28

Erica's P.O.V. 

I searched the bathroom of his room, and the entire ward of the hospital. I finally had enough of searching around for Liam and I was beginning to panick so I booked it to the front desk. 

"LIAM PAYNE! WHERE IS LIAM PAYNE?" I yelled. Everyone in the waiting room turned and shot me a dirty look and I was so tempted to turn and scream at them but I kept my attention on the now annoyed desk nurse. 

"He should be in his room," she snarled. I stared her down for a second and then just walked off, giving up hope on her. I walked up and down every single floor, calling his phone and looking in every single bathroom there was. I finally walked down to the lobby and passed a small gift shop where I noticed a familiar face. By now my heart was racing, wondering where he could have gone. I stopped dead in my tracks and walked into the gift shop to get a better look. 

"Liam!" I shouted. Liam's head shot up. I made a bee-line in his direction and threw my arms around his neck. "Liam! I have been looking through this entire hospital for you! I thought I told you to go to sleep!" 

"I'm sorry, Love. You were on the phone for like half an hour so I thought I would come get something for you from the gift shop," he said. He looked so innocent, I just wanted to cry. My body relaxed and I pulled Liam into a big hug. "You saved my life."

"Actually, you saved mine," I said, grabbing his hand and heading in the direction of the door. 

"Hang on, I have to pay for this," he smiled, holding up a teddy bear. I smiled at him and knew that there was no putting up a fight in this one, so I let him pay. We walked out of the store and I threw my arms around him and kissed him. He grabbed my hand and we walked back up to his room while he dragged his IV pole behind him.

"Back to what we were talking about in the gift shop, you actually saved my life. If it weren't for you, he would have killed me," I said, breaking the comfortable silence. 

"Yeah, but if you didn't get up and kick him in the face, who knows what else he would have done to me," Liam smiled. I cringed at the thought of me kicking him. I could hear his jaw crush under the force of my foot. At the same time, it didn't bother me because that was all deserved. I smiled back at Liam. 

"You know, I have never loved anybody in my life more than I love you," I said. He kissed me on the forehead while we were waiting for the elevator to take us back up to the floor his room was on. 

"I love you too, Beautiful."

Liam's P.O.V. 

We walked back up to my room, hand in hand. When we reached the door, we saw something that we didn't expect in a million years. Across my room was Louis, Sara, Niall, Beth, Taylor, Zayn, Harry and Jordayna. Harry and Jordayna, our newest couple of the group, were cuddled together on a chair, Niall and Beth were laying in my bed, Sara and Louis were standing against the wall and Taylor was with Zayn in another chair. 

"How did you guys get here so fast?" I exclaimed. We were still at the hosptial in Ukraine and I guess they flew all the way from Mexico. 

"I have my connections," Taylor smirked. Everybody else grinned and Erica and I just laughed. 

"So, Liam, how are you feeling?" Harry motioned to Liam's bandaged up wrist. 

"Well, considering the fact that I got this from saving my girlfriend's life, it's better than it seems," I smiled. Erica turned to me and put her head in my shoulder. A chorus of 'awe's came from everyone in the room and I'm pretty sure I turned the color of a tomato. Niall and Beth got up from my bed and motioned for me to lay down, so I did before the nurse came in and gave me hell.
