"WHAT! We are on our way. Where are you guys?" He asked.

"Out front of my house. By the telephone pole. Please help!" I managed to say before I started crying again uncontrollably.

"Did you call the police?" he asked. I nodded but then realized that he couldn't see me. I couldn't find words to come out of my mouth. It felt like I was choking. I couldn't think of anything to say. I was too focused on the love of my life there in front of me almost dead. I couldn't stop crying. I took his hand in mine.

"Ivy?! Are you there?" Liam said panicked.

"yes. I'm here. Please hurry." I said in between sobs and hung up. I put my phone down beside me.

"I'm so sorry Niall. This is all my fault." I started crying again. "Its gonna be okay. You're going to be okay. I know you will." I started crying. I felt someone touch my back. It was Liam. I turned around and hugged him. I was balling my eyes out onto his shirt. I knew he didn't mind though. I heard sirens in the distance and they got closer. I saw an ambulance. Paramedics got out and put Niall on a stretcher.

"Who is going to ride with him?" one of the medics asked.

"Zayn you go." Liam commanded. Zayn ran to the ambulance and jumped in. I saw them drive away. I started sobbing again. Liam rubbed my back.

"He will be okay Ivy. Everything is going to be fine." He said. I hugged him tightly.

"And what of he's not?" I said. I didn't even mean to say it. I always said the worst thing that could happen. I didn't even mean to. It just happened. I continued to cry. "This is all my fault!" I said.

"No it's not. Its okay. Let's go to the hospital okay? We can check on him there." I nodded and released my grip on Liam. We walked back towards my house. Liam called for a car that would fit all of us. We all sat in my living room until we heard the car pull up outside. I had my head in my hands trying to stop myself from crying. It didn't work.

"Come on Ivy, lets go see him." Liam said. I stood up and we left my house. I grabbed my house keys from the table and we got into the car.

" To the hospital" Louis instructed the driver. We were pretty silent on the way to there. I was sobbing quietly into my hands. I was so worried about Niall. What if he wasn't okay? I couldn't live without him. Everyone was sad, but I'm pretty sure I was crying the most. The car finally pulled up outside the hospital. I hurried to open the door. I flung it open and was the first one to run into the hospital doors. I ran up to the lady at the front desk.

"I need to see Niall Horan. What room is he in?" I demanded tears running down my face.

"Who are you?"

She asked probably thinking I was a fan.

"I'm Ivy, his girlfriend." Right as I said that, Liam, Louis, Harry, Paige, Zoe, Eleanor and Danielle came up from behind me.

"Hello we are here to see Niall Horan." Louis said in a sorrowful voice. The lady was young enough to know who they were. And seeing that they were with me, she realized that I was not a fan. She nodded and typed something in on his computer.

"He is in intensive care at the moment. He is being stabilized, I will let you know as soon as I know anything else." She said. I burst into tears again and walked over to the waiting room. I heard Louis thank the woman before walking over there with me and the others. We all sat in the comfy chairs in the waiting room. I started crying again. I felt Harry hug me and I knew he was crying too. I hugged him back and cried. I opened my eyes and with blurry vision, I saw Zayn walk from a hallway. I shot up and wiped my face.

"Zayn! Where's Niall? Is he okay? Can I see him?" I asked him a bunch of questions. He looked like he had been crying also. He looked over tired and scared.

"He's still in intensive care. They wouldn't let me in with him so I've been walking around. Glad I found you guys!" He said. I put my head down and sighed. "Don't worry, we can see him soon I'm sure." Zayn said patting my back. I nodded, and sat back down next to Harry. We all waited. Occasionally some of us would get up and start pacing. Minutes turned to hours. I was tired and worried. Now it was about 5am. Danielle and Eleanor were leaving this morning so they had to get going. They apologized then hugged all of us and said goodbye. Zoe and Paige left at about 6am because they had to go home. I felt my phone ringing. It was my mom. I forgot to tell her where I was. I sat up half asleep on Harry and went outside the doors of the hospital. I told her I was at the hospital and that I wasn't sure when id be home. She understood that I had to be there for Niall when he wakes up. I hung up my phone and sat on the curb looking at the rising sun. I rubbed my face. I wasn't crying anymore, I think I cried so much in the past few hours I don't think I had any tears left in me. I looked at the birds flying around me. They looked so happy and free. I fiddled with my phone for a moment. I heard someone walk out of the hospital doors. Harry came and sat next to me.

"You okay? We thought you got lost." He tried to lighten the mood. I smiled lightly. It had been a while since I smiled.

"Yeah, I'm okay considering everything that's going on. I was just, thinking I guess." I said looking back up at the sky. He looked up too.

"Kinda nice out here huh? Makes you forget everything." He said.

"Yeah. Its nice." I said before yawning.

"You should go home and get some sleep." Harry said to me. He could tell I was tired. I felt like a zombie but none of that mattered. All that mattered was that I was here for Niall when he woke up. Harry knew I wouldn't leave him so I wasn't sure why he asked.

I shook my head. "I'm not leaving until I know he's okay. I don't care if I don't sleep for weeks. I'm not leaving." I protested.

" I know you want to be here for him when he wakes up. We all do. But I can call you as soon as I hear anything." He offered. I considered it for a long minute.

" Harry, I can't leave. I have to be here for him always." I said.

"You don't have to the whole time. Its okay..." He said I cut him off.

"Its not that simple. I have to be here for him always. Just like we promised." I said.

"You promised? What do you mean?" He asked. I had a flashback to the day when me and Niall were 7 years old. I told him the story.

"When we were 7, we made a promise to each other that no matter what happened, we would always be there for each other. It happened when my uncle passed away. I was devastated. We were so close and he was just, gone. I was depressed so everyday, Niall came to my house and just sat there with me. For hours, and hours. Sometimes I was too sad to talk. But he still came and just sat with me. We promised then that we would always be there for each other, no matter what happened. ALWAYS Harry. I'm not leaving until I know he's okay." I said. He hugged me. I put my head on his shoulder. We sat there for a moment in silence.

"I know how close you guys are. And I know how hard this is for you, it is on all of us. But he's gonna be okay. I know he is. Just watch he will be back to that perky Irish boy we all know and love in no time." I smiled. I knew he was right, but part of me was too worried to care what anyone said. I nodded.

"I know he will be okay. You wanna go back inside now?" I asked. He nodded and we made our way back inside the hospital and to the waiting room. We sat down with the others. No one was sleeping surprisingly. A nurse came to talk to us.

"Hello are you here for Niall?" She asked in a friendly voice.

"Yes!" I shot up and said. I think I startled her a little. She smiled.

"He is stabilized and awake. He is still a little shaky but he is doing much better." She said. Harry came up from behind me.

"Can we see him?" He asked. She nodded and led us down the hallway to a room that had the number 326 on the door. She opened the door and in the hospital bed, I saw my sweet Irish boy looking at me with bright eyes.
