"What the hell happened?!" Harry's voice molded into a growl as he came charging through the door to what was now Liam's hospital room. I didn't move. I just stayed there, sobbing silently over Liam's unconscious body as the only thing that told me he was alright was the beeping from the monitor behind me. "Oh babe." Harry softened. I felt him pull me into his chest and I turned into him. I hiccuped and I heard him sigh. He placed his hands on my shoulders and pushed me back softly to meet my face. "What happened?" He asked and I backed out of his grip and sat in the chair next to the bed. 

"Derek happened." I breathed and I moved my hand up to gently glide it along Liam's face. He looked so peaceful. I could practically hear Harry's temper rise. I didn't have to look to know he had started pacing. "Where are the other boys?" I asked quietly, still studying Liam.

"They are at the house. We are going to have to cancel the interview today! Where is this Derek kid? I swear when I get my hands on him I'll-"

"HARRY!" I turned to look at him. My expression quickly went from angry back to defeated. I softly turned back to Liam. "You will do none of the sort." I whispered. "It won't solve anything." I heard him breathe deeply in defeat. 

"I know. You're right. What did the doctor say?" I heard him fall into the chair next to me. My hands moved to my lap and suddenly became interesting.

"They said he's fine. He should be awake soon. You guys shouldn't cancel the interview though." I said, knowing Liam wouldn't want this. "There's already enough suspicion." I looked back and into his emerald green eyes. They were filled with sadness and he looked over my shoulder at his lad. He nodded and stood. Harry leaned down and pressed his lips to my forehead before turned and heading for the door. 

"Call me soon love." He said softly and shut the door behind him.

Once again, I was left with the silence lingering and my line of sight locked on my unconscious boyfriend, best friend, soul mate.

It was around 7 at night when I got the text from Harry to flip on the television to channel 3. I had my head rested on the pillow next to Liam as the show switched back on from commercials and the four boys were lined up on a couch across from the interviewer. They all looked a bit tired and worn out but they had smiles on their faces. 

"Hey people!" The happy woman in her mid twenties yelled enthusiastically toward the camera. "I'm here with the one and only One Direction! Que screaming girls!" She laughed and the audience did just that. I smiled as the boys laughed. The fans were amazing. 

"Thank you all so much!" Harry smiled. Although I knew him too well to know that smile was only partially genuine. 

"So, Liam couldn't make it today. Shame!" 

"Yeah." Louis began. "He was under the weather this evening."

"Well we wish him the best. With everything. Now, we have to ask, what happened at the Music Festival?" 

"Personal things." I heard Zayn say, his edge a bit evident. Niall put a hand on his leg and he calmed down.

"I see. Is there a girl? Ever since Candi and Liam's confirmed separation there have been many rumors circling. " The girl pried with a smile.

"We aren't sure. Maybe?" Niall said quickly. Good answer.

"Hmm." She said with a side smile.

"Liam won't leave our fans in the dark. When it's time he will say yes or no. I'm not even sure he knows right now." Harry said flatly. He gave her what she wanted and yet left it open end. I looked up at Liam and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"Okay well we can't wait for the yah or nah! Right girls?" She said talking to the camera and the girls screamed again.

The boys went on to answer questions about their upcoming album and singles followed by more questions about the boys personal lives which they managed to for the most part shoot down.

I flipped off the TV and yawned. I glanced over at Liam who was on one side of the hospital bed. I stroked his hair and pressed a kiss to his forehead. 

"Goodnight Liam." I whispered, feeling tears slowly creep down my face. I placed my head next to his and snuggled into the most comfortable position I could, half on the chair, half on the bed. The lights were already off but the light from the hall was shining in so I buried myself in the blankets. Emotional exhaustion set in and I felt my body tense before relaxing. The darkness consumed my body and I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

"Natasha babe?" I heard a soft voice whisper. I moaned and next thing I knew I was in a strong pair of arms. I yawned and snuggled into the leather jacket the person was wearing. "Tash?" I slowly looked up at a Zayn who was carrying me. I shut my eyes, this was a weird dream. I couldn't stay awake a second longer. I drifted back into dreamland. 

*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *

I slowly opened my eyes. Unaware of where I was. I sat up quick and rubbed my eyes. I was in a huge bed in the middle of a bland room. Where was I?! Light was shinning in through the window and I squinted away, yawning. There was a clock on the bedside table and I looked over at it. It was noon! I slowly made my was out of the bed. I looked around and there were no clues as to where I was. Suddenly I heard a noise and turned around quick. Zayn was standing in the doorway. 

"Goodmorning love! How was your sleep?" I swallowed and ran a hand through my hair. Then it hit me.

"Zayn! Why am I home!? I need to be at the hospital! Take me there now! I want to be with Liam! I want to be there when he-" I stopped talking when a perfectly fine Liam walked through the door.

"Hey babe!" He said kissing my forehead. "Now how was your sleep?" I just sat there shocked before finally speaking. 

"You act as if nothing has happened?!" I said cupping his cheeks, standing. "Are you alright? How do you feel?" He took my hands in his.

"I feel fine love. What matters is how you feel." He said softly, pressing a kiss to my lips.

"I am fine!" I said with a small smile. 

"Good!" Liam said turning around. I looked at him confused. 

"Huh?" 

"We are spending the day together!" His brown eyes looked deep into mine. "We have a lot of catching up to do. And we have to talk about how we are going to make the announcement." He grabbed his jacket. 

"Announcement?"

"About us being together, love."
