Ansley's POV

"He's what?!" I cry out as I start to sob.

"Ansley," Zain whispers, wrapping an arm around me. Wes seems to be in a start of utter disbelief.

"We're going to see him," dad says, "He...He doesn't have too much longer."

I look up at dad, his eyes stricken with pain and tears. "Daddy, are you going to cry?" I ask, checking back sobs.

He doesn't answer, but a gentle tear rolls down his face. I now know that nothing is okay with him.

As soon as we arrive at the hospital, we all jump out and head for Grandad's room.

I open the door, and there he is.

Covered in IVs, not even conscious.

I look at dad, who is biting his lip and sits down. I sit beside him and bury my face into his chest, and he wraps his arms around me. It isn't long before I hear a huge breath, and then sobbing.

I try my hardest not to cry, but it doesn't work.

Dad never cries.

I feel a light hand on my back and turn to see Zain. He looks unaffected, but the smile from earlier is wiped clean off of his face.

Tears slowly fall down mum's face. She looks exhausted, as if she knew this moment had been coming, and had waited for it. Though waiting for it didn't make it any less painful.

Wes in standing in the corner beside Grandma, Ben, and Jack. He whispers something too her and she nods slowly, obviously nor wanting to talk.

I look up at dad. Normally when I cry like this, he says it'll all be okay. But I can tell that it won't happen today.

I only let go when Grandma comes over to hug him. Mum gets in on it, and I hug Zain, gently crying into his shirt.

Mum gets up and walks into the hallway. "Daddy, I'm so sorry," I manage to choke out without crying. He looks at me, tears welling up in his eyes again.

The door opens and slowly, Michael, Calum, and Ashton walk in. They all give Luke a hug.

Ashton turns to me and gives a small half smile before giving me a hug.

"It's okay sweetie, I'm so sorry," he whispers. I can't reply, or I will start sobbing again. I feel two more sets of arms around me.

"Please stay strong for your dad, hun," Michael whispers.

"If you can't do it for yourself, do it for us," Calum says. I nod and they all let go.

Mum comes back in.

"Wes, Ansley, Zain, Niall is coming in a few minutes, you may go with him if you would like," mum whispers.

Wes nods. Zain looks at me.

"Please go," I whisper, but the words don't come out. He nods, and the two boys walk outside. I sit beside dad, holding him close. Mum hugs him from the other side.

And there we sit

Just looking at him.

Everyone once and a while, he'll take a deep breath ans we'll think he's getting conscious. But he doesn't.

Finally, after hours of waiting, he comes around.

I give him a small hug, not wanting to hurt him. Luke gives him a hug, and he whispers to him that it will all be okay. Dad and his brothers all hug each other. I cam barely look at it.

Grandad eventually falls asleep, and though we all try to stay awake, the adults all fall asleep. I lie awake, leaning into dad's chest, watching Grandad.

He starts to stir just as I am falling asleep. I get up and sit in the chair beside his bed.

He opens his eyes and smiles. I smile back.

"You're a good girl, Ansley," he whispers, "And you're so beautiful. Keep an eye out on your father for me, keep him out of trouble."

I nod and my eyes well up with tears. "Of course, grandad," I reply.

"And your brother, he's got a nice girl with him," he replies, "Visits all the time, and is quite the cook. Don't let that fall apart over something stupid."

"I won't," I reply.

Suddenly, his eyes close. He takes in a deep breath that doesn't come out, and it never will.

His eyes open again, and a small smile hits his face.

His normally bright eyes turn glassy.

Then, the noise.

That terrible, horrible noise.

The constant beeping goes to a flat line.
