Half a Heart (A Niall Horan Love Story)

Falling to pieces

Louis' POV.

2 months, 2 months was how long Ruby has been in the coma for, I missed her, I missed her loud voice, I missed the stupid games we played, I missed her friendship. With everyone else, they're all different, especially Jamila, she just went down hill from day 1, she wasn't eating or sleeping properly, she grew skinny and cries herself to sleep every night, she can't handle the fact her bestest friend in the whole entire world was in a coma, none of us could but it was especially hard for Jamila. I went in one day by myself telling the others I was just going for a walk, I walked into room 134 and closed the door behind me quietly, I walked over to her bed and tears escaped my eyes,

"hey Rubs", no response of course, this was all too much,

"I really hope you live, Jamila's back at home suffering like hell, she misses you so much", I took her hand and rubbed it with my thumb,

"we all miss you, very much, well I'm going to let you sleep, please wake up soon", I looked at her and got the strangest feeling ever, a warmth in my body, no, it couldn't be, could I be falling for Ruby?

Brooke's POV (YAY)

"I really wanna help, but I'm scared that one small move can upset her", I said sadly to my mother who sat down next to me, my mum respected Jamila and Ruby very much and didn't want anything to happen to them,

"Jamila needs all the support she needs Brooke, her best friend in the whole entire world could be at great risks", I let the tears fall and my mum takes my hand,

"she's not as lucky as you", I look her in the eyes and smiled slightly,

"well I better go see her then", I hugged my mum goodbye and headed to my car, it was silent, I turned the radio off, the only sound was the car engine and my breathing. I got to Jamila's apartment and knocked softly, suddenly Jamila answered the door and didn't even smile, she didn't look like the normal Jamila at all, all the colour in her face was gone, her eyes werent a bright blue, they were a dark grey and she looked like a twig,

"Jamila, what have you done to yourself?", tears fell down her face and I hugged her, it wasn't the same hug though. I followed her inside and saw she had set up a bed on the couch,

"Jamila, we all miss Ruby greatly but you have to think positively, please eat something, don't starve yourself so you can die, because she will live, I promise", she took my hand and looked at me,

"you don't know what it's like, you live a happy life and I don't, all I get is bad luck", her words were jumbled and her breath smelt of alcohol, she was drunk,

"Jamila are you drinking?",

"Maybe", suddenly she grabs a half empty bottle of Vodka and she takes a sip from it,

"Jamila stop, please you will kill yourself, how long have you been doing this?",

"for 2 weeks", I cried and she kept drinking the foul smelling drink, I couldn't do this on own, I had to tell Niall, and I had to tell him now.

Niall's POV.

I sat around with Liam, Sunny, Harry, Emily and Zayn, why wasn't I with Jamila? well 2 weeks ago she lashed out on me and threw me out of the house, I wasn't angry at her, I wanted to try and comfort her and tell her everything's okay but that day, she really really didn't want me around,

FLASHBACK....

I walk into the house to Jamila cuddling up on the couch,

"hey JJ", she gives me the weakest smile and I sit down next to her",

"c'mon JJ, she's gonna be fine, I promise you this now, she'd hate to see you moping after her, she'd want you to stop worrying about her and call you a worrywart", I chuckle lightly but I look at Jamila and she gives me a cold look,

"how DARE you say that to me, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS FUCKING LIKE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS, HAVING YOUR BEST FRIEND IN A COMA IS HELL!",

"seeing you suffer is sortive making me go through that type of stuff", I say sweetly,

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, GET THE FUCK OUT", I looked her and felt my eyes blur,

"please calm down Jamila", she pushes me away and I stumble back,

"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!", I listened to her and ran out of her apartment crying, I'm officially the biggest idiot on this planet.

END OF FLASHBACK....

I cried as I thought of the situation,

"she's just really upset" reasured Emily,

"she'll come around", said Harry putting his arm around me,

"she's my best friend, I hate seeing her go through this", I cried more and Sunny hugged me,

"it'll all work out", she whispered to me,

"deep down at this time, she wants to just run into your arms and apologize", says Zayn,

"he's right Niall", agrees Liam, suddenly my phone rings, of was Brooke,

"hey Brooke",

"Niall you've gotta help me, Jamila's drunk and I have no idea what to do", she was crying on the other end of the line,

"stay put Brooke, I'll be over soon", I hung up the phone and quickly got my stuff,

"what's wrong", asked Liam,

"can't talk, I've gotta go", I rushed to my car and drove as quickly as I could to Brooke's aid. I arrived in minutes and ran into Jamila's apartment, Brooke ran up to me and hugged me tight,

"help me", she cried, I walked over to Jamila who was drinking a bottle of Vodka,

"what do you want?", she asked,

"when did you start this drinking?", I asked her,

"after our fight", oh my god, this was all my fault,

"listen Jamila, you have to stop, you could make yourself very sick and end up like Ruby", I say taking her hands but she hesitates,

"oh look who's taking things seriously", she laughs,

"please", she stands up stumbling onto her feet,

"okay, first, I don't need your help, I have myself, both of you have NO idea what I'm going through right now so FUCK OFF", she sits back down on the couch and her eyes start to droop,

"you go Brooke, I've got this",

"thank you so much Niall", she left and I turned back to find Jamila snoring lightly on the couch, this was probably the most sleep she's had in ages, I picked her up and took her up to her bed, I slipped her under the covers and I did too, I had no idea what was going to happen next but I sure was scared.
