WANT YOU BACK.

4:14 AM

this past week has been so exhausting. daniel still was in the hospital. nurses said that his chance of coming back were small now. but we needed to keep hope.

right now, it was 4AM, and i was tossing and turning in my bed. i couldn't get any sleep knowing that my best friend was in a hospital.

and every words that zach had said were still in my head, haunting me. i let out a groan in, as i put my face in my pillow.

i hadn't really talked to the boys since the other day. i talked to jack a little and cassandra told me the whole thing with jonah and that he was getting bigger.

i thought that maybe i should go see daniel, just to make sure he was okay. like i do every other night.

i got up and got dressed in leggings and a simple hoodie, that probably wasn't even mine. i had been wearing daniel's clothes basically everyday. i don't know why, it just made me feel like he was there with me. and his scent was still on them, so that was a plus.

i headed to my front door and took the bus to the hospital. there was basically no one in the streets and the bus was empty. but i got used to it this week. like i got used to wear daniel's oversized hoodies. or like i got used to the hospital terrible scent. or the sleepless nights. the days without eating much. i got used to all of that.

the bus stopped in front of the hospital and i thanked the bus driver. i walked into the hospital and before talking with the secretary, went to daniel's room.

nothing had changed since yesterday. daniel was still there, laying in his bed. it looked like just he was sleeping.

"so peaceful." i whispered. "i brought you something, dani." i smiled.

like always, i waited for an answer but nothing. i got used to that too. feeling like i was talking to a wall.

i took the small object out of my bag. and placed it on his bed.

"it's another mixtape i made for you. i know you liked yesterday's one." i said, smiling as i remembered the memory.

yesterday, daniel had opened his eyes. not for long but long enough to make me have hope again. it all happened when i played the mixtape i had made, on the old radio in his room.

i got up from my kneeling position and put the cassette tape in the radio. the first song, which was a one direction one started to play.

"i know, you're not a big fan of one direction. i know you're tired that we keep comparing you and the boys to them but you also know, that i love them so deal with me." i chuckled.

[and we won't be going home
for so long, for so long, but i know,
i won't be on my own, on my own
i'm feeling like right now
i wish you were here with me
'cause right now
everything is new to me
you know i can't fight the feeling
and every night i feel it
right now
i wish you were here with me]
