Going Under (One Direction FanFic)

Chapter 1-Niall

The ride to the hospital was unimaginable. I laid motionless on the stretcher inside the ambulance with paramedics rushing around us.

“He’s going under!” They yelled and went over to the spot next to mine. My eyes slowly flickered open, and a sharp, unbearable pain shot through my head. I winced at the pain but still slightly lifted my head to the boy next to me. It was hard to make out the figure behind them but I knew: It was Liam.

“LIAM!” I tried to yell, but only came out as a croak.

“And… CLEAR!” The woman pressed the shocker thingies, what were they called god dammit! I tried screaming louder, my voice going more hoarse than before. “We got a heartbeat!” What? Is Liam okay? What’s going on? Am I going to lose one of the best friends I’ve ever had?

“LIAM!” I managed to scream out despite the pain I felt. One of the paramedics rushed over to me and said what seemed to be a jumble of words before putting a needle into my arm.

Everything became hazy, rainbows were everywhere… Dancing unicorns and penguins… I like this stuff… What was I so worried about again? The figures became blurry and all the loud beeps from before faded out. ‘he can make a sunshine… sprinkle it with dew… the candyman can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good…The candy man can…’ I like candy…Candy is really good… I wonder what the best candy there is out there… lepreachaun… Night night.

**When he wakes**

My eyes fluttered opened and there, next to my bed sat Zayn, his hair wasn’t in his usual quiff, the life was gone! Has face was badly bruised and he didn’t seem like himself.

“Zayn?” His head quickly shot up.

“You’re awake!” I nodded my head, still a wee bit confused.

“Where is everyone?” He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. “Zayn. Where. Are they?”

“With Liam…” My eyes widened as the events from before played back in my mind.

“Are they okay? What about Liam?” He shrugged.

“I don’t know what to say. It’d be easier to let the doctor explain…” And right on cue a doctor came strolling into the room with a nurse by his side.

“Oh, you’re up,” the doctor said looking up from the clipboard, “Seems that you suffered a mild concussion…” he flipped through the pages on the clipboard, “And that’s about it, besides some bruising in your ribs.”

“wh-What about Liam?” The color drained from the doctor’s face. Oh god. What is wrong with Liam?

“Niall…” Zayn spoke up.

“No. What’s wrong? What happened to him?” I sat up and winced at the pain that shot up the side of my body. The nurse looked at the doctor with much panic in her eyes. “What. Happened.” I was getting angry they weren’t telling me anything.

“Liam, he… he went into a coma shortly after the collision… “ Zayn whispered almost silently.

“He was dying,” The nurse added, “He’s lucky to be alive and that the paramedics got there when they did. He’s going to be fine sweetie.”

“Can I see him?”

“I don’t think that would be the best idea right now,” The doctor said smoothly.

“Just let me see him. Please?”

“Let him see him. He deserves to see him.” I shot a thankful glance towards Zayn and he returned it with a weak smile. Both the doctor and nurse stood awkwardly, contemplating their decision.

“Okay, you can see him.” The nurse said quietly. Man, I really need to learn their names.

“thanks,” I began to slowly get up but was quickly stopped by Zayn wrapping a hand around my upper arm.

“You’re gonna need some help getting down the hall, Nialler,” I nodded in acknowledgement to him as he helped me up. Once I was out of the uncomfortable bed and slowly walking across the room, to the door, realization hit. Liam was in a COMA, of all things and we, or just I didn’t know when he was going to wake up.

The hall was dimly lit, with white walls and white tiles it looked like what an insane asylum would. The stench of death lurked in the shadows, or so it seemed. A cold shiver went up my spine as we passed each open door, which one held Liam? I looked out the window at the end of the hall, and you could see the dedicated fans out there, in the cold, waiting for the news. One thing that I wasn’t expecting though, was that there was no screams heard, only an eerie silence that sat over the crowd like a blanket. Liam wouldn’t want them out there, worrying about him; he would want them doing anything but that.

“Niall, stop. We’re here…” Zayn motioned towards the door and led me in. Harry and Lois sat in one of the corners of the room, not making a single noise, not moving a single muscle. It was strange, not seeing either of them smiling; It wasn’t normal, seeing huge bags underneath their eyes. As  the door closed it made a loud bang and both boys heads shot up at us.

“You’re awake,” Harry smiled weakly. Small cuts ranged all over his face, but they were mostly healed, same with Louis only he had a few more bruises.

“Yup… The Leprechaun awakes,” I tried to lightly joke, earning a stifled laugh from the lot of them, “How’s Liam doing?”

“They said that he should wake up in the next week or two but might have slight amnesia of what’s happened in his life,” Louis nearly whispered as he looked solemnly at the ground.

“That’s great right?”

“I like to think so,” The room fell silent as I looked over to the bed where Liam laid. His skin was extremely pale and just like the others, he had scratches all over his face and body. I.V.s were connected to him, just to keep him breathing, his body was completely motionless, nothing ever moving. The only noise in the room was the beeping off machines and our steady breathing. I can’t believe that out of all of us, this had to happen to Liam, the guy who would never hurt anyone.

“We called his parents… they’re gonna be here by tomorrow…and umm… Management wants to see us by the end of the week,” Harry said looking down at his phone.

“What? Why do they want to talk to us!?” Louis questioned and was returned with a shrug from Harry. I looked around the room, Zayn was nowhere to be found.

“Umm.. Where’d Zayn go?” I hastily asked.

“Probably went out for a smoke…  He’s been doing that a lot lately…” Harry answered. I thought Zayn had stopped, for the fans but still did it to help relieve stress… The silence fell upon us once again only no one dared break it again.
