Luke

I dropped the phone.

"MICHAEL, ASHTON." I screamed.

Michael ran in sloppily with Ashton behind him. Tears ran down my cheeks and onto the bed. All I could see was blurry figures, but Ashton. Oh he was in the building all along.

"Y-you killed him." I sobbed.

"What?" Ashton asked.

"He's lying on a hospital bed, because of you, Ashton!"

"Calm down Luke, please just tell us who was in the hospital bed." Michael rubbed circles into my back but I pushed him off.

"He went looking for Ashton, to ask why Michael looked like he was just in an intense make out session. He went to the park you said you went to. He's in a hospital because of you. Calum is in a hospital because of you." I sneered, my voice lathered with venom. I picked up my stuff and ran out to the street.

"Excuse me, where's the ambulance headed to?" I asked the police man.

"London General. Why?"

"Oh, he's my boyfriend."

Baffled, the police officer climbed into his car and drove off. I smiled and ran towards the underground.

I pushed open the heavy doors and ran through the hospital.

"Sir, visiting hours-"

"Shut up!" I ran quicker, looking for Calum.

Only Calum.

60B

Mockery.

I ran in, choking on non-existent words. He was laying peacefully on the bed, and he had bandages all over his arms. A air mask was supplying him with air so he could live.

"Luke?" Niall's voice was hollow and sounded like he had been crying.

"Yes?" My voice sounded weird.

"H-how are you d-doing?" Harry asked, standing up from the plastic chair.

"Oh all rainbows and fucking glitter."

Harry weakly smiled and Niall chuckled.

"Where's everyone else?" I eyed the empty chair surrounding the bed.

"Left. Couldn't stand the awkwardness." Niall squeezed Harry's hand and I cooed over their cuteness in my head.

"So did you ask-?"

"Yeah," I cut off Harry.

"So you're a couple?" Niall squealed.

"Yes. And we're going to live in a house outside of London. We are also going to adopt two kids..."

"by the names of Lilac and James and own tons of cats so Calum can fulfill his dream of becoming an old cat lady. Plus have tons of dogs so Calum can also live his dream of being an old man with thousands of dogs." Luke trailed, calming my frantic state.

Only if I could laugh, show him that I was okay.

I once read this book called 'If I Stay' and I got really emotional and Luke cuddled me for hours while I sobbed into his shirt... but that's for another time.

But in If I Stay, this girl gets put in a coma and she is like a ghost, but can't walk through walls and shit. She is alive, but dead at the same time. And she can't leave the hospital.

That's what is going on right now.

I see and hear, heck I can breathe.

But I can't move my actual body.

I am conscious of everything.

"Cool. When-" Niall started, but abruptly got cut off by Michael running in.

"CALUM THOMAS HOOD." He yelled.

"What the fuck?" Luke's voice seemed annoyed.

"Ashton just had a panic attack because of you Hemmings!"

My breath caught in my throat.

"Is he okay?" Luke asked, with actual concern.

"Yes, but what-" Then Michael turned to my body and let out a stifled cry.

"L-luke why is Calum in a hospital bed?"

Oh I'm just hanging...On for dear life.

"I told you."

Maybe.

Just Maybe.

If and Maybe.

if so please, maybe, just maybe, help me.

just give Luke what he wants and do what ever you have in store for me.

Luke deserves better.

Luke deserves someone who can love him.
