Olivia's P.O.V:
I was stood in the same room as my heroes and my best friend was falling to pieces. This day couldn't get any better or any worse. I stood at the doorway staring fixated at the 4 idiots who were pretending that a scrunched up piece of paper was a football. Luke was standing by a sofa, arms ready pretending to be a goal keeper. Calum and Michael were laughing whilst trying to get the paper off each other. However, I was adoring Ashton who was stood in a laid on the floor laughing. I laughed at how silly this was but didn't take my eyes off them until they looked my way.

I could feel my cheeks heating up and went to sit with Poppy who had been laid on the floor. I slowly stroked her hair, the tears starting to appear again. Even though she has just fainted, this was one of the worst things I could worry about. I looked back over to where the band stood but they weren't there. They were rapidly talking to their manager, concern written over their faces. They were probably worrying about their schedule. Why would they worry about us?

//////////////////////////////////

I had no idea what was happening next, I was crying and screaming as hands fought to pull Poppy out of my arms.

"You have no idea what she's been through, you have no idea what's happened to her, the only place she feels safe is with me" I screamed.

Someone crouched down beside me, followed by three others. Luke. Calum. Michael. Ashton.

"Hey, don't cry, shh, it's going to be okay, you're friend will be fine", Calum soothing voice said gently. It relaxed me instantly.

Michael was gently rubbing my arm. However, Luke had his eyes on Poppy; the way he looked at her. His bright blue eyes flashing with deep concern. He was really worried about Poppy and he didn't even know her. He was gently rubbing her arm.

I didn't know what to say.
Ashton suddenly reached up to touch my cheek to wipe away my tears.

"Don't cry, a beautiful girl like you shouldn't be crying" His eyes had a hint of sadness in them, I knew you hated to see any of his fans upset. He was saying these things to make me feel better. I was just being a stupid fangirl. I needed to be mature about this position I was in. I loved him so much but no, I was never going to love someone so much when I didn't have any chance with him. I needed to focus on Poppy.

"My friend fainted. Shes been going through so much and...so much pain". I trailed off, looking at Poppy.

Luke looked up at me.

"What's happened to her?"a hint of alarm was in his voice.

"I... she.... no, I can't tell you, it's not my place to tell, she trusts me with her life and I couldn't do that to her, all I'm saying is that she's been through a lot"

The sadness in Luke's eyes was clear. Why was he acting like this? So worried and so concerned?

With that, Poppy's eyes flew open, showing her bright green eyes. Her chest, which was once slowly moving up and down was now out of control.

She rapidly say up from where she was laid on my legs. Knowing how to act, I forced her to face me and hugged her. Hugged her like I was hugging her for the last time. She was gently crying into my shoulder.

After a minute or two, her breathing had slowed down and she pulled away from the hug, tears streaming down her face.

"What happened?" she whimpered.

"You fainted. It's all fine baby, just breath. We are backstage of the stadium. Don't worry. We are in safe hands I think. You have me okay? it's going to be fine, shhh". I brushed the tears from her eyes.

"I don't think I can do this anymore Liv. It's too hard. Why me? Why has this all happened to me?"
