Hope

chapter 5

Liam's Pov:

Louis and i are sitting on opposite sides or Claire's bed.. Josh is out in the hallway doing who knows what. We sit in silence, I can't take my eyes off of that girl, I know i keep saying this, but wow, is she beautiful..

"Hey Lou, can i talk to you outside?" Josh says. Louis agreed and they headed out into the hallway. I hear a lot of muttering back and forth then it goes quite..

"LIAM" Josh yells barging into the room. His fists are clenched and he clearly wants to murder me..

"What..?" I ask slowly getting up.

"YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS?" What?..

"Away with what?" That's when it hit me.. He is mad at me for hitting his sister. Oh.

"HITTING MY SISTER. TRUST ME WHEN SHE GET UP WE ARE ALL GONNA SUE YOUR ASS" Greeeat just what i need.

"Listen mate, I'm truly sorry, I didn't want to hit anyone, especially that girl.."

"YEA. YOU SURE ARE SORRY HUH. YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS APOLOGY. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HERE."

"I understand that you are mad. But i have to be here, I just know i do..." What else could i really say, I honestly don't know why I'm even here still..

"Whatever. Just remember you're lucky I didn't beat your ass right here." With that Josh walked out.. Louis was standing in the doorway staring at me, he whispered something before following Josh. That went better then I thought. My phone started to vibrate in my pocket, I took it out and saw Harry was calling me.

"What do you want?" I ask, the last time I talked to them i told them to leave me be.

"Where are you?"

"At the hospital, I thought i told you what happened and to leave me alone."

"I know, I know.. But we will be at the hospital in 20 minutes." No... They can't come here...

"I don't think that's a good idea.."

" We aren't going to come in, we are just picking you up to take you home." Harry responded.

"I don't need to go home.. I'll stay here tonight, no need for you guys to come. Okay? Thanks.. Night" I didn't wait for Harry to respond i just hung up. I looked at the time and it was already 3 in the morning. I turned off my phone and but it on the nightstand besides Claire. There was a couch in the room so i decided to lay there. I wonder if Louis and Josh are still here... Even if they are I'm still going to stay. With that, i closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Louis's Pov:

"LIAM" he yelled as he ran straight into the room at Liam. I stood by the doorway, I didn't want to get involved but I needed to be there if things got bad.. Liam seemed confused.

"What...?" Liam got up slowly as if trying to defend himself.

"YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS?" Yea, Liam looked really confused, he clearly hasn't realised I told Josh who hit his sister...

"Away with what?"

"HITTING MY SISTER. TRUST ME WHEN MY SISTER GETS UP WE ARE GONNA SUE YOUR ASS" woah... Josh is really mad.. At Least Liam isn't confused anymore...

"Listen Mate, I'm truly sorry, I didn't want to hit anyone, especially that girl.." I like how he doesn't even use her name, 'that girl'. Yea 'that girl' who my best friend, 'that girl' who I'm in love with, 'that girl' is the only one who me and Josh actually need and care for... Clearly he doesn't understand that 'that girl' is more to us then anything we've ever had...

"YEA. YOU SURE ARE SORRY HUH. YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS APOLOGY. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE." Josh clearly didn't like his apology too.

"I understand that you are mad. But i have to be here, I just know i do..." What kind if reason is that. Like what the hell? That's one creepy reason..

"Whatever. Just remember you're lucky I didn't beat your ass right here." Josh turned around and stormed out the door and down the hall. Liam just stoop there so I followed Josh. Josh stopped once he sat down in the grass outside the building. It was freezing outside and it was dark.. I wonder what time it was.. My thoughts broke when I heard Josh start to cry, he was laying face down in the grass his hands pulling on the grass. I walked over to him..

"Hey, it's ok. Don't cry, everything will be ok..." Josh rolled over onto his back, his breathing was heavy and he was wiping the tears from his eyes away.

"How do you know that? What if it's not going to be ok? What if Claire dies? Then who do i have?"

"You'd have me.. But don't think like that.. She will be ok. Don't even think about the 'what ifs'."

"I know. But I can't. Because all those 'what ifs' could happen. And if they do i need to be prepared. Or at least somewhat prepared. And I just keep thinking if i stayed home from my vacation Claire would still be here. All three of us would've walked to Nandos but we would've left later because i would procrastinate and then Liam would've already passed by and Claire would be ok and we'd be out eating ice cream.." He can't blame himself.. It was my fault.. I should have just driven us. It was my stupid idea to walk there.

"Josh.. It's not your fault.. It's mine.. I should have drove us to Nandos.. But we can't be blaming ourselves. In Liam's defence it wasn't his either. And if we do blame people then we should all be blamed not one of us." I stopped talking... It went silent.. "Josh, lets go inside, it's late and we need sleep."

"Ok. Yea.." I got up and then helped Josh up. We walked silently back to Claire's room. We stopped before entering. "Lou, is Liam still in there?"
I peaked my head in and saw him asleep on the couch.

"Yea, he's asleep though"

"Oh, then I'll just sleep out here. You can go in there and sleep on the other couch.. I'll be fine. Night." I don't blame him for not wanting to see Liam. So i decided I'd go in there just to be there for her. I took off my jacket and laid their on the other couch. I realised i should go to sleep before I think too much then can't, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
