The room was bright, chilly and quiet. I would hate being stuck here for months.

A/N: you guys should listen to Half a Heart by One Direction while reading this mwahaha

I took a step in and saw my poor baby laying on a hospital bed. The sight made me want to break down in tears or kiss him endlessly until he wakes up. I slowly approached his bed. The only sound present was the constant beeping of the heart monitor. I looked down at Aaron and frowned. He laid completely still. The colors from his face faded, and he looked exhausted. The only thing that relieved me was that he was still breathing. I took his hand in mine and kissed it. "Aaron," I whined. "Please, wake up." I cried. "I need you to fight for me, I miss you so much and I've been a complete mess without you. I miss everything about you." At this point I was bawling. "I need you!" I cried collapsing on my knees. I looked up at him and he didn't change or move or do anything. I can't stand looking at him like that. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you. I'm so sorry that I let this happen. I'm sorry that I couldn't be with you. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to protect you. If I was, maybe you would've been ok, and you would've been with me right now, but your not. You're here, unconscious."

"I wish it was it was me. Everyone needs you right now. Your fans, your friends, your family. You make the world better and I'm honestly just irreverent. I should be the one in that hospital bed." Another tear rolls down my cheek and I look down, and play with his fingers.

I sighed and stood up. I put his hand on my cheek and rubbed his knuckles with my thumb. "I don't know what I'd do without you, I just need you to get through this. I'm trying my best to be strong and for you, but it's hard. I miss you so much Aaron."

I pulled a chair next to his bed and held his hand. "You're like my other half." I nervously chuckled as more tears fell from my eyes. "I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am to be a part of your life. To be honest I've never had a guy make me feel the way that you do. I never felt loved, special, or safe. Then I met you." I smiled and let out a shaky breath. "But now, you're gone and I'm lost." I sobbed into his hand.

I stayed in the room for thirty more minutes admiring his face and keeping him company. He didn't wake up though. I hope he will soon, because I have to go back home sometime. I wiped my cheeks and went to the restroom. When I looked in my reflection, my jaw dropped. I had black streaks from my eyeliner and mascara all over my face. My eyes were bloodshot and extremely puffy. I looked horrible. I washed the black streaks off of face and called Matt.

"Hello?"

"Hey Matt, uh can you get me my makeup bag in my luggage and bring it to the bathroom?"

"Of course Soph. Don't worry be right there." he hung up and I sighed.

I heard a knock on the door. "Soph, it's Matt! Are you in there?" Matt yelled from the hall. I opened the door just enough to put my hand through it. "Why can't I see you?" he asked.

"Because I'm ugly." I stated.

"No Soph, you're not ugly." he scoffed.

"Just please hand me my makeup bag." I complained. He sighed and gave it to me. "Thank you!"

"Ok I'll be waiting out here." He mumbled.

I shut the door and began to try to cover up the bags under my eyes with concealer. I looked less tired, but my eyes were still bloodshot and slightly puffy. I just shrugged it off and reapplied my eyeliner and mascara. I added some red lipstick to touch up my look. I defiantly looked better than before. I took one last look in the mirror and forced on a smile. I sighed and walked out. Matthew was sitting on the hall with his back against the wall. He looked up at me and immediately stood up, and took me in for a hug. I lightly laughed and hugged him tighter. He pulled away and looked at me reassuring if I was ok. Or at least at a stable condition. I nodded and he put his arm over my shoulder. I put my arm around his waist as we walked back to the rest of the guys. Everyone had a worried look on their faces, Mahogany and Hayes were even crying. Jacob took Mahogany in his arms and comforted her which made me smile a bit. I looked over at Taylor, and he was on the verge of breaking down into tears. I walked up to him and gave him a sympathetic look. He looked up at me with the most pained face ever. I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck, giving him a hug. He hugged me back much tighter, which caused me to have a little bit of trouble breathing. Although I didn't mind. He buried his neck onto my shoulder and began to cry. He surprised me because he doesn't cry or show weakness.

"Taylor, he'll be alright." I said. I stood up and put my hands on his shoulders. I looked him straight in the eye. "I know how you feel Taylor. I know that this is hard, but we have to be strong. I'll always be here for you if you need anyone ok?" He nodded and hugged me again.

"Thank you Sophie." He whispered. I pulled away and flashed him a smile. I turned back to the rest of the guys and sighed. "C'mon let's all visit Aaron." I said to the group.

"Is he awake?" Hayes asked. I looked down and shook my head. "Oh." was all he could say.

We all walked to his room and gathered around his bed. We stood there in silence for a few moments. "Uh so Hi Aaron." Taylor said. Everyone turned their heads to him. "We all really miss you and I hope you wake up soon. Love you bro." I smiled and we all grouped hugged around Aaron. We all talked and caught up with each other. It was good bonding and it made everyone feel better.

When it was time to go, we all said our goodbyes to Aaron and left in the cab. The cab pulled up into a big house and we grabbed our bags, and made our way to the front door. We rang the doorbell and waited. I was honestly so nervous. What if his family doesn't like me?
