My Best Friend, Liam Payne?

Day two

*Liam’s POV*

"Talk, Liam!" Niall demanded his face an angry red.

"You know he won't so why bother?" Louis sighed, I nodded toward him gratefully. Niall had been trying, without success, to get me to talk for the past hour. The boys and girls had arrived here early this morning but now it was pretty late, 6 o'clock I think.

"What good will it do? Not talking, I mean." Alex reasoned. I left that question unanswered like so many of the others I had been asked, really, what could I say when the love of my life was in a coma? Exactly, nothing.

"We're going to go, make sure you eat something." Megan warned, I nodded and they filed out of the room, saying their quiet goodbyes.

When I was finally left alone I picked up the black journal and sifted through the pages. The feeling of the paper underneath my fingers was somewhat soothing.

I flipped to the 2nd page, leaving the first blank and began to write.

Dear Diary,

No that sounded stupid, I looked like a ten year old girl like that. I crossed it out quickly.

Dear Journal,

That sounded even worse, I put a quick line through that and thought really hard. I sighed and took a deep breath.

Dear Gabby,

It's day two without you, I feel like I can't breathe. I haven't been eating properly; the thought of food upsets my stomach so much. Niall's been doing his best, I guess, to try and get me to talk but I just don't want to, the only person I want to talk to is you and you're well you know. I feel like I shouldn't leave you at all and if you can see this then you're probably wishing you can strangle me right now.

I laughed dryly at that, tears still falling.

 
The boys and girls have been here almost all day within visiting hours, I've been allowed to stay all night, And to be honest they probably wouldn't be able to take me away from you if they tried.

Zayn told me today that we might have to keep going with concerts. I think he got that I didn't want to go when I glared at him for hours after; I think he's told management that I will not be leaving your side until you're better.

Your mum and Josh visited, they're packing to go back to Australia right now, they can't stay and Amber keeps refusing my money. Josh on the other hand is pretty upset with me. I promised him I'd take care of you, and I failed.

I squeezed my eyes shut to hopefully stop the ongoing flow of tears. I closed the book and set it on the table beside her bed, when I thought it was safe I opened my eyes and set them on the fragile girl lying amongst the wires that kept her alive.

She looked like an angel, a fallen angel.
