Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight
While the crown hangs heavy on either side
Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die

GENE'S POINT OF VIEW

Liam's face breaks into a smile and he walks over to my side and takes my other hand. I smile back at him. I would give him a hug, but I am still sore. 

"You remember me?" He asks, clearly surprised. 

"Of course, you're my best friend." I say. I see Allison shift uncomfortably in the corner of my eye and immediately wish I could take back those words. Liam looks away too and I wonder why.

"But you don't remember...." He trails off.

"What? Don't remember what?" I ask.

"Liam has a crush on you." Niall says blandly. 

Oh.

"Niall!" Allison exclaims, glaring at him. Niall shrugs his shoulders.

"What?" He asks, sounding annoyed. 

There's an extremely awkward silence before I decide to just ignore Niall's comment. 

"Why haven't you called?" I demand.

"I'm so sorry, Gene. I've been really busy lately, but you know me. You know I would've called if I ever got the chance, right?" He looks into my eyes and I nod.

"How did  you even get here?" I ask, patting my bed. Liam glances at Niall warily before sitting down. 

"I just got the first plane back. Then I saw Harry and he told me where you were. How are you feeling?"

"Sore." I answer honestly. 

"What exactly happened? Niall didn't really clarify on the phone." Liam asks. Niall clears his throat and glares at Liam. 

"Harry took her ice skating and she fell on the ice, hitting her head. She's having trouble remembering some things." Niall says. 

"But it's going to come back, right?" Liam asks. 

"I don't know." I say. 

~ THE NEXT MORNING ~ 

GENE'S POINT OF VIEW

I wake up and begin to stretch only to scream out loud. A sharp pain races up my shoulder and down my spine. 

"Gene? Gene?" Niall's face fills my vision as he looks at me, concerned. 

"It's nothing. I'm just a bit sore, that's all. I overreacted, sorry." I explain, not daring to make another move. 

"I talked to the doctor. You can leave today. Right now, actually, if you want." 

I nod and slowly drag the covers off me. The majority of my legs are covered in bandages and a few purple bruises remain uncovered. Niall comes to my side and gently lifts me up, placing me in the wheelchair. I sit there for awhile before looking up at Niall.
