Sister Payne (n.h.)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Skyler's P.O.V.

She's been like this for weeks. My mother has been laying here, unconscious, for what seems like forever.

"Skyler. Sis. Go home and get some rest." Liam suggested.

"No Li! I'm gonna sit right here until she wakes up!"

"She hasn't progressed or anything in days, Sky. You'll be okay to go home. Come on." He picked me up. I just laid limply in his arms, I was too tired to fight. "Niall is outside the room with the rest of the gang. We'll all head back."

Just as we were leaving. Literally just as we were leaving. The heart monitor started to beep more rapidly.

"What's happening?!" I screamed.

"I don't know Sky! Nurse! Can we get a nurse in here?" Liam started panicking.

That's when it stopped. The beeping stopped. And that meant that her heart had just stopped. At the moment that her heart stopped, mine shattered.

"I'm sorry to inform you this, but your mother's heart has just stopped." The nurse informs us the most obvious information.

Like no fucking shit.

"Liam, can we leave? I can't be here right now." I asked, while still being in his arms.

Liam hugged me tighter while nodding. There were tears in both of our eyes. We walked out of the room and Niall and the rest all looked up at us.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked noticing the two of us crying.

"Our mom. She-- she, she" Liam started but ended up getting all choked up.

"Oh no." Sophia said while hugging the two of us.

"Here, let me take Sky." Niall stated and came to get me. I retracted from his touch. I wanted to stay in Liam's arms. He was pretty much the only family I had left.

Niall looked immensely hurt that I rejected him. I couldn't help it though. Liam's arms were comforting me.

"Come on. Let's get you guys home." Zayn said while leading us all out of the hospital.

Louis hopped in the driver seat and Liam and I got in the back. Niall came in beside us and kissed me on the forehead.

This isn't fair. I was so terrible to my mom all these years. We were finally getting better. God, I don't feel well. I quickly opened my door and vomited out all the contents in my stomach.

Niall pulled me over into his lap and held me against him. I didn't fight him, because I didn't have any fight left in me.
