Strong

Chapter 25:It's a broken Hallelujah

Liam's POV

"Niall I need your help"

"What is it Payno?" he was happy to help as usual.

"What's a good song that girls like?"

"Little tings" he said without having to think about it.

"No Niall, another one" I laughed.

"You and I"

"I meant a song that's not ours"

"Oh she looks soh perfect"

"Thanks for your help, but I think I got one" I patted him on the back.

"What's it for anyway?"

"Isabella"

"Then why you asking me she's your girlfriend" he laughed as if it was the strangest thing ever.

Isabella's POV

I was bored. Bored of being sick, and lying in bed all day, and having to go for dialysis. I was even bored of dying. And to make it worse, Liam hadn't come in to see me. He didn't have to come in everyday and I didn't expect him to, but I could do with the company. And as if my thoughts had summoned him, there he was with a big smile on his face.

"Hellos" he leaned over and gave me a long drawn out kiss.

"Nice to see ya" I laughed.

"Jess I have a surprise for you" he said excitedly.

"What is it?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You know I told you I'd ask Dr Sulli about goin dancin?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll be right back" he held up one finger and then ran off.

He came back with a nurse and a wheel chair. The nurse removed the drip from my hand and smiled at me.

"Have fun" she whispered and then left me alone with my prince.

Liam helped me out of bed and into the wheelchair. Don't worry I had my pj's on and not one of those creepy hospital gowns. He wheeled me down the hall and into the lift. And it felt good just to see other faces for a change. Once we were safely in the lift I began my interrogation.

"What's all this about?" I asked.

"You wanted to go dancing" he shrugged.

"Yeah but-"

"Just wait and you'll see" he said squeezing on to my hand. When the lift eventually stopped we were on the top floor. He wheeled me out and on to the roof of the hospital. The fresh air filled my lungs and it was so good I felt as if I could cry right there. There were a whole lot of flower petals on the floor and an arch that was covered in flowers as well. There were a few candles here and there, but they weren't lit as yet. There was also this bench that looked like it was from a movie and on it was a radio thingy.

"Care to dance?" Liam helped me out of the wheelchair and on to my feet. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I rested my head on his shoulder as we slowly began to sway.

"The music's in my head huh?" I teased.

"Oh I almost forgot. Not this time" He left me standing there while he quickly went to press play on the radio.

Liam's POV

'Cause all of me

loves all of you

All your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections'

I held her as tightly as I could. The thought of losing her was unbearable. As we were dancing it was as if I could see flashes of our lives until now. I remembered every detail as if it was yesterday.

'Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you'

I held her as close to me as I could, but it felt as if all that was left of her was just a frame. She'd lost so much weight in the past few weeks that she was just skin and bones. So yeah she was sick and dying, but she was still so beautiful to me.

'You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

And I give you all of me

And you give me all of you'

Isabella's POV

We danced until it was dark and I was outta breath. He lit the candles and we both sat down on the bench. We hadn't said all that much, but I once read that. 'The heart speaks languages the mind could never conceptualise to form words' And I believed it, cause apparently it's very true.

"Thank you" I whispered into his ear. He didn't answer verbal, but leaned in to give me a kiss.

"Liam, do you remember the time...?" I started off and we began recalling all our childhood memories. We went all the way to that day we met again at the airport and even my sing off with Zayn. Everything up until I got sick. Well, found out I was sick anyway. And then we stopped talking as the memories of the past coupla months were on our minds. I couldn't stand the silence any longer and there was something I needed to say, but I found myself shaking uncontrollably.

"You're cold" he said taking off his jacket and putting it on me. And then he wrapped his arms around me again so we were pretty cosy.

"Li remember the time we fell in love?" I whispered, my breath coming out in gasps. I saw his eyes light up and he drew me in for another kiss. By the time we were done snogging I was shaking again.

"Let's get you back inside" he said getting me back into the wheel chair.

When we got back to my room and I was warm in my bed again. There was something I had to say to him, but he seemed distracted.

"Li I need to tell you something" I said hoping to get his full attention.

"Babe, can it wait? There's something I need to do" his eyes were watery and it seemed like whatever it was, was pretty important. So I let him go.

"Go on" I shrugged.

He kissed me gently, gave my hand one last squeeze and then left.
