Luke's (POV)

"Yeah we're excited for our tour" Calum exclaims.

"Yep, it's going to be so much fun and seeing the fans agi-" Michael was cut off once again as his phone goes off, second time since we've started the interview in just less then 10 minutes.

Picking up his phone, he says, "I'll be right back" standing up with his phone in one hand, he walks out of the room to answer it.

A few minutes later, my phone starts to go off. I glance down to see the caller ID, Mr. Brown, Sarahs father. He would never call me, he'll call Michael instead of me, unless, I quickly excused myself to answer the phone.

"Hello?" I breathe out "Mr. Brown, is everything alright?"

He sucks in a breathe before speaking, "Lola and Sarah were on their way home when...." His voice started to get shaky making me more anxious then I already am. "There was a drunk driver a-and.....Lola's in a c-coma with a b-broken a-arm." Right there and then, my world stopped, I know it sound clique but finding out that your girlfriend is in a coma makes your heart stop.

Tears building up, I look over at Michael, whos still talking on the phone, tears also streaming down his face and a small weak smile on his face. He looks over at me, knowing that I've already got the news, he hangs up the phone and walks over to me, embracing me to a thight huge.

********************

"Hows Sarah?" I ask, Michael had just come out of Sarahs room

"She's doing fine. Just a few brusies and cuts, nothing major." He looks at me in the eyes, "How are you holding up?"

"Honestly? I don't even know what to do. She's in a coma, who knows when she'll wake up, or if thats even if she does wake up" regreting the last few words that came out, I don't want to lose Lola, not like this. Not at this moment.

Michael sits in the chair next to me, "she'll be fine. Shes strong and you know it, she's been bullied and pulled through. She's got Sarah and the guys and most importantly, she's got you." Michael sighed, but he's right, Lola is strong, after her mothers death, she managed to take care of herself and her father. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Brown coming out of Lola's room.

He stops in place, "Luke you can go in now, if you want" he gives me a sympathetic smile, I nod my head before standing up and walking on over to the door. Taking in a deep breathe, I turn the door knob, opening the door, I walk in seeing Lola peacefully sleeping. Her skin, more paler then before, a bruise on her left cheek and a cast on her right arm. The only sound in the room is coming from the heart monitor, a oxygen mask on her keeping her breathes steady. Her chest rises and caves in, every deep breathe, fighting.

Tears started to stream down my cheeks once again as I sit down to her left, taking her hand into mine.

*****************

"Luke....luke" I was shaken abruptly by someone making my eyes flatter open realizing I'm still in Lola's room.

"Luke it's past noon." I glance over my shoulder to see Ashton with a worried face and a small smile.

I groan letting go of Lolas hand to rub my cheeks, "What?" I managed to say before yawning.

He sighs, kneeling besides me, "I brought you food and also we have an interview in 2 hours"

"And?" I mutter under my breathe

"And? You need to eat and get ready, I know this is hard right now but-"
