Harry Styles

"Oh my god!" Amelia snaps her hand over her mouth as I come through the backdoor with Mariah unconscious and bloody in my arms.

Niall who was back and drenched from the rain, widened his eyes as they both ran towards me. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know how to react.

I was numb.

"You and I need to get her to a hospital now." I say sternly to Amelia while pacing to the front door. "Niall please stay here and watch Briar while she sleeps." I say in panic while I hear Amelia urgently getting her shoes on and grabbing her rain jacket.

"What happened to her!" Amelia says in fear.

"She fell from a tree, she's alive but barely hanging on. We need to go now." I say while Amelia gets teary and opens the front door to the pouring rain, trying to hold back her emotions but I could always read her like a book.

She was torn.

"Wait Harry! I've never been here alone with Briar!" Niall says in panic.

"Niall she's asleep! You'll be fine. Just call if you need anything!" I say while running out the door and into the rain, not giving him a second to respond.

Amelia and I run to the car and she opens the backdoor. I bend over and lay Mariah down across the backseat, Amelia crawling after on the floor.

"I'm gonna stay back here with her!" She shouts over the rain. I nod and slam the door before hopping in the drivers seat. I turn on the car and slam it into drive before revving off down the trail and out into the road. I look back in the rear view mirror to see Amelia kneeled on the car floor next to Mariah's head, brushing the hair out of her face and holding back her tears.

"Why was she in a tree?" Amelia stammered as I speeded down the concession.

"She was hiding. I tried to go up to get her, and I did. All she had to do was crawl across the branch and grab my hand.." I pause and remember the incident like it will be stuck in my mind forever. "Th-then it just broke. I was to late, and she feel nearly thirty feet to the ground." I stammer, trying to keep myself under control while driving through the pouring rain.

"God she needs to be okay. Harry we can't lose her." Amelia says in fright.

"I know, we won't. She's still breathing." I say in hope.

She's still breathing. She's still breathing. She's still breathing.

Niall Horan

"Briar please!" I say while she was balling her eyes out in her crib.

Amelia and Harry left half an hour ago and she's been crying for fifteen minutes. I didn't know what to do. They've never left me alone with her and I thought she was just going to sleep through the night but apparently not.

I heard the loud bang at the door, making me feel relief and run out of her room and down stairs to the living room. Unlocking and deactivating the house alarm before opening the door.

"Thank god." I say in relief to the person at the door, standing in the rain and looking miserable with a grey rain jacket on.

"Niall its nearly four in the fucking morning. What is the issue?" Louis says while stepping out of the rain and into the house where I shut the door behind him.

He takes off his hood and looks at me through the bags under his eyes from sleep. Wearing track pants on his lower half. His hair was a mess and he looked tired as hell.
