In The Dark

Chapter 9

~ Liam's P.O.V. ~

"I'm in love with Louis." Harry looks down to his feet. I'm shocked. I always thought they were really close, but I wasn't expecting this.

"It's okay," I say. He looks to me surprised.

"Your okay with it?" He asks. I laugh a little.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" I ask back. Harry hugs me and laughs.

"But wait, who were you talking to on the phone?" I have to ask.

"My mom, I felt like she was the only one I could talk to."

"I understand. I tell my mom everything." I smile at Harry.

"Thank you, Liam," Harry whispers. "I'm gonna go get some air.."

"Okay," I say as he walks out he front door.

I walk into my room and sit on my bed and sigh. I look at the clock. It says 10:50pm. Niall and Jocelyn left around six, they should be home by now..

I dial Niall's number but it goes straight to voicemail. Jocelyn's phone does the same. I start to worry.

My phone starts to ring. I look to the screen and it says: London Community Hospital.

"Hello?" I say confused.

"Hello, is this Liam Payne?" the woman over the phone asks.

"I'm speaking," I say. She clears her throat and begins to speak.

"Your friends Niall Horan and Jocelyn Hastings have been checked into the hospital about an hour ago, due to a horrible car crash."

I don't say anything. I'm shocked and scared. I hang up the phone without another word. I grab my jacket and keys and head downstairs. I was about to leave when I thought of the other boys.

"LOUIS! ZAYN!" I scream. They both hurry out of their rooms and fun down the stairs.

"What's wrong?!" Louis asks, worried. I start crying.

"It's Niall and Jocelyn. Come with me."

Louis and Zayn hurry to grab their jackets and head out the door with me.

On our way to the hospital we see Harry walking down the street. I stop and we let him in. He sits by Louis and I smile.

We finally make it only to see the parking lot very busy and we have to park a few blocks away. We end up running down the street to the hospital.

"Which room is Niall Horan in?" I ask. She tells me room 384 and I run down there with Louis and Harry on my tail.

~ Zayn's P.O.V. ~

I was about to follow the rest of the boys, but suddenly think of Jocelyn. I can't leave her alone.

"What room is Jocelyn Hastings in?" I ask quickly.

"Room 256 sir," she smiles. I smile back and head to the elevator. I head to level 2 and run down the long hallway.

And I finally find room 256. I head inside and see Jocelyn lying their with a cast on her leg and arm and a very bruised and cut up face. She's crying.

I head over to her bed and sit on the edge.

"Zayn?" She asks quietly.

"Yes it's me," I smile. "How bad is the pain?"

"On a scale of 1-10 it's like 5 or 6. But I'm worried about Niall. Is he okay?"

"I'm not sure. The rest of the boys are with him, but I came straight to you." I smile again.

"Thank you, but I think I should rest." She whispers, her voice seems very strained.

"Okay. I will be back soon." I whisper. She closes her eyes and I kiss her forehead and head to Niall.

~ Liam's P.O.V. ~

"Guys I'm gonna go grab some coffee," I say as I head into the waiting room.

I walk over to the cafè area and grab plain black coffee with creamer. I turn around to head back to the room and bump into someone.

"I'm so-" she starts and then her eyes widen. "Liam?" She asks. That's when I recognize her.

"Alyssa?" I ask. She smiles and hugs me. "I haven't seen you in years!"

"I missed you!" She says.

"I missed you too!" I smile.
