I Wish (Liam Payne Love Story)

Chapter 7

Zayn's P.O.V

I sat down in the waiting room with Niall, Gale, and Harry. Louis was talking to the doctor explaining what happened. I've never really seen Louis this stressed, well anyone this stressed really.

I looked at Gale, and there were bags under her eyes. She needs sleep. Harry has stopped crying, and is now looking down at his hands. I think he finally realized how much damaged he's done. Niall was looking down at his phone, and then he caught my gaze.

"Zayn, he's going to be alright," Niall said.

"I know," I said looking down. Niall's eyes were still red from crying. It was hard to watch Liam in that much pain. I always looked up to Liam for being so strong, but seeing him weak killed me.

I felt arms wrap around my shoulders, and I looked up to see who it was. Louis.

"The doctor said he's going to be alright, but that he shouldn't be moving around too much for about a week," Louis said,"we can see him if we want."

All of us got up, and followed Louis to Liam's room.

Niall's P.O.V

It's been hard on all of us. Liam is like a big brother to me, well to all of us really. He's the middle child out of all of us, but still he cares for us as if he's the oldest.

We all walked into Liam's room, and he let out a weak smile. I walked over to him and gave him a hug light enough so it wouldn't hurt him.

"Nialler, you don't smell like food," he said weakly.

"Didn't eat much today, man," I said smiling at the surprised look on his face.

"The doctor says you can be released tomorrow," Louis said making his way over to Liam.

Liam nodded his head, and turned his attention to Gale. The way he looked at her was the same way Louis looks at Eleanor. Liam loves Gale.

Harry's P.O.V

"Liam, I screwed up," I said loudly.

Liam's eyes shifted his eyes off of Gale, and looked at me.

"I'm so sor-sorry," I choked out and began tearing up again.

"I'm sorry too, Harry. I shouldn't have hit you, I should've just let that one hit go. But when you pushed Gale... I- I couldn't control myself. I was so mad," he said as I tried avoiding eye contact with him.

"I shouldn't have hit you in the first place. If it helps any you won," I let out a weak laugh.

"I know," he smiled.

"What the hell," Zayn mummbled as he shook his head.

"What?" Liam and I asked simultaneously.

"One second you guys are beating the shit out of each other, and now you agree on who won? You guys are so strange," Zayn grinned.

Everyone in the room started laughing except for Gale. She just kept looking at Liam. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"I wanna go home," she whispered. I nodded my head and said my goodbyes, I hugged and kissed Liam on the forehead before I left.

As we walked out Gale took my hand, and stopped me.

"Don't you want to go," I asked a bit confused.

"Yeah just... Nevermind," she said and started walking back again.

I dropped her off, and watched her leave me. Was she really worth all that happened?

Gale's P.O.V

Seeing Liam hurt me more than I thought it would. I care about him so so much, but then theres Harry... He already told me he has feelings for me, but Liam hasn't even told me anything about how he feels. Maybe that's why I kissed Harry because he actually said he liked me. Uh I don't know. Boys are so complicated!

"Gale?"

I turned around to find my dad sitting on our couch in the living room.

"Oh hi, Dad," I said.

"I'm... I'm so sorry I hit you," he said, and he began crying.

I walked over to him and hugged him.

"I know you didn't mean to. People say things they regret when they're mad," I said still hugging him.

"The thing is Gale people speak the truth when they're mad. That's what scared me," he whispered.

"You could never be like mom," I said.

"Look at you being the grown up, and me being a big baby," he said.

I laughed and gave him a playful little nudge on his shoulder.

"You look tired, honey. Get some sleep," he said and sat back down watching soccer.

I nodded and went up stairs. I looked around my room, it was really different from the last time I left it.

The once yellow walls was now white with different colored lighting that makes the room look pink. My day bed was now a queen with black and white pillows and comforter. All my old dark brown wood furnishing was now black. I saw a note on the bed and it read:

I know your birthday is next week, but I couldn't wait. Hope you like it. Love -Dad

I smiled and jumped onto my bed, I needed the sleep.

Liam's P.O.V

The boys left the hospital, but Harry came back. i watched him walk into the room, and he let out a smile.

"How are you feeling," he asked as he made his way over to the chair beside me.

"I've been better. You've got quite the punch," I laughed. I couldn't stay mad at harry no matter how much I wanted to. He's like my baby brother.

"Aw, well I wish you didn't have to find out that way," Harry said smiling. I looked at him and we've both laughed.

"I get to leave tomorrow!" I said excitedly, I can't wait to get out this place. I've always hated hospitals.

"Yeah, Lou told me! Plus I volunteered to be your ride home tomorrow morning. We didn't want Paul, or Simon finding out about what happened," Harry said as he bit his lip.

"Harry, you'll open it up again. Stop biting your lip," I said.

"Same old Daddy Direction."

"Yepp."

We both sat there in silence. Not knowing what to say to each other.

"I want to take Gale to the Fall Dance Simon is hosting in his mansion... If you don't mind," Harry said breaking the silence.

I looked at him. He was serious, didn't we just get over fighting about who wanted her?

"Well, Harry, I don't know. I mean we got into a fight over her, remember,"I said questioning him.

"The problem is... I already asked her," He said quickly.

I laid my head back and sighed. I knew it.

"Is it alright with you, Liam?" He asked.

"Yeah,"I whispered.

"Are you alright?"

No.

"Yes," I simply replied.
