Kelsey's POV

I wake up with Niall's arm still wrapped around my waist, and I smile to myself.
I look over and still asleep, his chest steadily rising and falling.
Suddenly, he stirs and I look away.
I feel him move closer to me.
"Good morning." He says, kissing me on the cheek.
"Morning." I mumble sleepily.
His phone suddenly rings.
"Hello?" I hear him say, and I tune out the conversation so I'm not eavesdropping.
He hangs up, running over and grabbing new clothes quickly and changing super fast.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Louis....got....shot....." I hear as he's trying to find his keys.
"WHAT?!" I exclaim, jumping up and changing super quick, not even caring about the rest of my appearance.
He finds his keys and we both get into his car, and I assume we're driving to the hospital.
"Liam didn't say many details....except to get to the hospital, and fast. He doesn't know if he's stable or critical or what....the doctors are working on Louis at the moment." He explains as we are speeding down the road.
We pull up to the emergency room and run inside.
I see Liam, Harry, Zayn, and a girl with brown hair, who I assume is Louis's girlfriend, Eleanor.
Eleanor is crying and they're all trying to assure her that Louis is going to be ok.
I go up to her and hug her even though we don't really know each other yet.
"He's going to be okay......I promise. I'm Kelsey by the way." I say.
"I'm Eleanor...and I hope you're right." She responds.
"I hope so too." I say back as I turn to the boys.
"What do you know right now?" I ask.
"He was shot in the back, by his shoulder. By one of the guys in Ashton's gang. We don't know who." Zayn says sadly.
"What the hell? We won the fight." I respond, angry that the other gang has to keep continuing this feud.
"It's never over in their minds. They're pissed that we won it." Harry adds.
I am about to respond again when a doctor approaches us.
"Friends of Louis Tomlinson?" He says, looking at the 6 of us.
"Yes." Liam answers for us.
"He's stable and out of surgery, waking up from the anesthetic. You may see him in room 105." The doctor says, we all breathe a sigh of relief.
We sit there for a minute.
"Well? Are we going to go see him?" Niall asks eagerly.
We all get up and find Louis's room.
