CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

Lyza and Ryan sat in plastic chairs, right beside Ashy's bed. It had been a month since 1D had left to complete their worldwide tour. In her hand was a magazine, with Niall and a pretty red head on the cover. NIALL'S GOOD LUCK were in bold red which pretty hard to miss. She smiled and placed the magazine on the bedside table.

Ryan fell asleep his hand in hers. Lyza leaned over to kiss his cheek, when he suddenly turned his head to face her. It took her a second to realise that they almost kissed. Giggling quietly, Lyza left him to sit on the edge of her best friend's bed. She took he hand and whispered. "Ashy, when will you wake up?"

"Lyza," Ryan came over to her. "Just give it some time, she'll wake up soon."

Nodding, she placed her head onto Ashy's hand. She was so cold. Lyza closed her eyes and prayed silently. Never before had she experienced so much hurt. Lyza couldn't take the silence, in the end, it broke her. As she sobbed, Ryan rubbed her back sorrowfully. She cried, "Please." 

Lyza felt something.

She looked up. There was no sign that Ashy was awake, yet she swore her fingers brushed hers lightly. "Ashy?"

"What happened?" Ryan looked worried. She only shook her in disbelief.

Before she could say anything back, Ashy's fingers grasped Lyza. Lyza looked down her best friend's pale hand which rested in her. A smile cracked her face. "She just moved! I felt her hand twitch!" Lyza exclaimed.

Immediately the look of worry was replaced with hope. He smiled at her. "Really?"

"Mm..." Lyza and Ryan sat still.

"Lyza?"

It was Ashy.

She was awake.

"ASHY!" Lyza screamed with happiness. "Oh gosh, get the doctors!" Immediately, Ryan ran out the door. "Oh Ashy, say something else!"

"Why are you sitting on my legs?" Though she just woke up, Lyza swore she could see a little pout on her lips. Laughing, Lyza leaned over to hug her best friend.

Her awake best friend.

She sat on the hospital bed, letter in hand. Ashy found the letter underneath her pillow, sealed in a cream coloured envelope with her name in cursive writing. Of course, curiosity took over her and in no longer than a second, she opened it. A sudden shock came over her, she didn't want to read it. It was definitely from Louis, and Ashy was scared. Nevertheless, she opened the folded piece of paper and read it to herself.

Dear Ashy,

By the time you receive this letter, I am no longer in England. I am probably a far distance away in America or Australia. Either way, I'm not there. But I'm sure you've noticed that? You're a pretty smart girl.

Anyway, you're probably wondering, why am I writing this? Well, I've got a couple reasons.

1) I won't be there when you wake.

As I've mentioned before, I am no longer in the UK. This meant that I couldn't sit beside and feel joy when I saw you wake from your sleep. Much like Sleeping Beauty, only I wasn't exactly the best prince. This is the closest you'll get to talking to me after your beauty sleep.

2) Us. Our relationship. Everything between us.

I don't know what you're thinking right now, but it's not that I'm breaking up with you. Honestly, I don't think I've ever dated a girl who is as real as you. What I love most about you is that you don't treat me like I'm the most famous guy in the world. You treat me like I'm another regular boy you're dating. Like I'm just Louis Tomlinson, nothing more nothing less. I've met so many girls that ask too much of me. They ask me to bring them on my tours, to always get them VIP tickets to any concert they feel like and to spend an endless amount of money on them. I don't recall you ever doing any of that stuff. You've never asked me to do things that only a celebrity would be able to do, you've asked me for things any average guy can give. Being with someone who doesn't want me for my fame and success is someone worth keeping. And that's why I don't want to lose you. I know that a long distance relationship is hard, and I would completely understand if you'd say no, but please, I want this to work out. It doesn't matter what you choose, I'll respect it 100%. My phone number is also in the envelope and all I need is a quick text.

"Yes" or "No"

Love

Your Louis

(PS. I love you)

Ashy closed the letter, wiping the tears that slid down her warm cheeks. Whilst she read the letter a warm feeling started in her chest. Taking out her phone she stole the phone from beside the bed and typed the number in. Her eyes flickered from the bottom of the letter back to the phone, rapidly. She saved him as a contact before going into messages. Ashy sighed.

Did she want it to work out?

Of course she did.

Only something was stopping her from sending him those three letters. Yes. The word was too simple. She knew what they had wasn't going to be simple, and that if they carry on with their relationship it would hurt both of them. Having to last months, possibly a year without the guy she loved, who could go off with any girl at anytime. Ashy trusted him, but it didn't stop her wild imagination. But that wasn't too far off from the truth. Closing her eyes, she leant back until her head rested on the pillow. Deep thinking was good, until it affected your emotions. Ashy opened her eyes.

She cancelled the message and dialled the number instead. Texting wasn't enough, she needed to tell him what she really felt. Placing the phone by her right ear, she waited for Louis to pick up. It only took a couple seconds until he picked up. "Hello?"

"Louis." She exhaled.

"Ashy..." 

"Look, I love you, I'm sure you know that." It hurts. "But no."

Silence took over the moment. Louis replied with one word.

"Okay." Then he hung up.

Aw...I feel sad now. Why did she say no?? I don't know why I keep doing this.

Anyway, I was supposed to update a couple days ago and I hope you don't hate me Ashie. But I'm definitely going to get the last couple chapters done by next week. Oh and the Epilogue will only be available for those who follow me. Hope you guys are excited for the end of this book, I know I am!
