-Marcel's POV-

I've been in the hospital for 3 months. Three months without talking to Diana. I've written letters, but I just never send them. Too scared maybe. Doctors say I'll be released this Friday. Two days. Just two more days. Edward wants to through a party but I don't see the point. I was in the hospital for trying to kill myself. Not because I was cured of cancer or some disease. But a part of me wanted the party. Wanted to see who'd show up, who really cared. Maybe Diana would show up. I really miss her. She probably hates me.

I shake my head and start to pack up my things. At least I'll get to sleep in my bed finally. I'll actually feel normal, besides the pills. The doctors gave me three different types of antidepressants. I just can't wait to go home.

-Edward's POV-

Marcel is coming home Friday and Harry and I are planning on throwing a welcome home party. Hopefully Harry can actually make it. His band has gotten pretty popular, they've got 50k+ followers on twitter and a million YouTube subscribers. They haven't even released a full album yet!

I plan on inviting a few people from school like Liam, Emma, Louis, Niall, Ashton, Zayn, and of course Diana. Marcel hasn't shut up about her. He thinks she hates him for not calling her. But I'm sure she'll understand once Marcel talks to her about it.

But now that I think about it, I haven't seen Diana at school or around the neighborhood. Weird.

I decide to walk to her house and ask. I've never actually been inside, but I've walked with Marcel a couple times. After a few minutes I arrive at her house, I knock. No answer. I knock again. And again. And again. I finally give up. As I'm about to turn around the door cracks open.

"Edward..?" A soft voice asks. "Uhm, hey Diana. You alright?" She's seems paler than usual and her hair isn't as shiny and styled. A lot thiner. She looks ill.

"..yeah, I'm great. How..how is everyone. How's...Marcel?" She asks quietly.

"He's good. A lot better. He's being released Friday. Which is why came over. I'm throwing a welcome home party for him and I wanted to invite you. I'm sure that'd make his day better. He won't stop talking about you and he feels awful that he can't see you-"

"Edward." Diana interrupts. "Yeah?" I question. "I can't see him. Not like this..."

"What do you mean? He needs you."

"Edward can't you see I'm no good for him? He's getting better and I'm getting worse. I don't want to drag him down with me. He's suffered enough." I remember Marcel saying how Diana had eating disorders...had.

"Diana please...you've seen him at his worst. You were there when no one else was. He needs you. And you need him. Especially now. He can help you. Marcel loves you. Just please think about going..." I say before walking away from the poor fragile girl.

It's Friday and Marcel is on the way home. Everyone came, even Luke and Calum. They've come to apologize. But there was still no sign of Diana.

"What's wrong babe?" Emma, who is now my girlfriend, asks.

"Have you seen Diana? Heard from her? Marcel really wants to see her."

"Yeah I talked to her a few hours ago. She said she was coming."

"Okay good." A feeling of relief washed over me. Who would've thought planning a party would be this stressful.

"Brother chill outtt!" Harry says. I can tell he's had a bit to drink.

"You're drunk." I say

"No, I'm Harry." He laughs at his own joke.

It's finally time. Marcel is about to walk through the back door. Mum and dad open the back door and out comes Marcel. We all yell 'Welcome Home!'

-Marcel's POV-

I was shocked. My family and friends were all here. Even Luke and Calum. Wait what? They walk up to me and both hug me.

"Mate, we are so sorry for what we did. I know we pushed it way too far and we are truly sorry. From the bottom of our hearts." Calum says

"Is there anything we can do to make it up to you?" Luke asks.

I smile at the both of them. "It's okay. I've learned to forget the past and just be happy with what I have."

That made me think if Diana. Where is she? After asking everyone, literally everyone, no one has seen her. I'm worried. I decide to go to my room to be alone and think. I grab my cellphone and call her. I start walking up the stairs and head to my bedroom. I'm standing right outside my door, I hear Diana's phone ringing. She's here, I think to myself. I open my door and there she was, sitting at the edge of my bed. Smiling. She looked a lot skinnier and paler. She looks sick.

Diana rushes to her feet and jumps into my arms. I swing her around in my arms holding her close to my chest. God I've missed her. Three months without her seemed like a lifetime, I never want to be separated from her.

"I..I'm sorry." I tell her.

"You don't need to be. Welcome home." And then she kisses me.

Welcome home, indeed.
