Take a Breath

|| Liam ||

"I really am sorry," Louis apologized for the millionth time

"Its fine, the problem isn't you I'm just tired of here being so reckless" I sighed shaking my head

"She's seventeen of course she is going to be," Niall said it was like the most obvious thing in the world

He is right but she just likes to be over dramatic. I love her and I'm just scared that she's going to take things to far. I looked up to see Harry walk into the kitchen with a frown on his face.

"She hates me," Harry sighed sadly

"No she doesn't" I reassured him

"Trust me she does I told her I loved her" Harry Mumbled

"You what?" Louis asked looking at Harry in shock

It was no surprise to me that Harry said that to Bella I've known he's loved her but he's was to afraid to admit until now I guess.

"She doesn't hate you Harry , she's had a crush on you for ages" Niall chuckled

When Niall said that Harry smiled and Louis got a hurt look on his face. Poor lad, seems like he's not the only one that loves my little sister.

"Why? Why did you tell her that?" Louis asked glaring at Harry

"I don't know we were arguing and it just came out" Harry Shrugged

"I'm surprised she didn't kill you" I chuckled before Louis could say anything

"I know, I just feel like I screwed everything up" Harry mumbled leaning against the counter

"No I have ever since our mum died and our dad left I've put so much on her shoulders," I said

We were all quiet which allowed us to hear a faint thud. The four of us looked at each other confused.

"She's probably throwing things," Harry said

"I'll go check cause I'm the only one she's probably not mad at," Louis said

I was about to object but decided to let him go check on her. I went to the fridge to get the jug of Chocolate Milk, I poured myself a glass and leaned against the counter worrying about Bella. Seconds later Louis came running into the kitchen with tears falling down his cheeks.

"She's not breathing," Louis choked

As soon as those three world came out of Louis' mouth my glass fell from my hand. Not caring about the mess I ran past the boys and up to Bella's room. I ran in to find her on her bathroom floor with glass and pills all around her.

"Call the ambulance!" Niall shouted from somewhere behind me

I didn't know what to do. What could I do. I stood over my sisters lifeless looking body and there was nothing I could do.

It felt like a life time for the ambulance to get here. When they took her away on the stretcher I fell to my knees. Tears fell down my cheeks. She cant died on me, My baby sister can't. I felt like I couldn't breathe. It felt like someone just ripped my heart right from my chest and stomped on it. Louis and Niall picked me up from the floor and carried me out to the car. Once we got to the hospital I ran inside to the front desk

"Isabella Payne" I said breathlessly

The nurse looked at me a bit startled but she typed in Bella's name . The boys were standing behind me. Also trying to catch their breath.

"Yes they just checked her in. She on floor C room 326, but you can't see her yet " the nurse said

"That's fine thanks " I said

The elevator seemed to take forever. We rushed out when we got to floor C. It took us even longer to find the room Bella was in. I tried going into her room when I found it but they wouldn't let me.

"She's my sister " I said frantically trying to get passed them

"I know love but you can't go in there yet" the brown haired nurse that was keeping me from the room said

"I don't know if she's in there dead or not! She's my sister! I'm her legal guardian I have the right to know!" I shouted running my hands through my hair roughly

The nurse let out a small sigh while giving me a look of sympathy.

"I don't know how she's doing now, when they brought her in she wasn't doing good at all I'm sorry that all I know" the nurse said sadly

"God damn it!" I shouted kicked the chair nearest to me

"Liam its going to be fine" Niall whispered

I didn't respond I just sat down in a chair and put my head in my hands. I felt someone tap my shoulder. My head snapped up. I seen a women standing above me. She had on a white coat thing and her hair was pulled back in a bun.

"Excuse me are you the brother of Isabella? " she asked with a raised eyebrow

"Yes I'm Liam" I said quickly standing up

"I'm Doctor Scott " She said sticking her hand to shake mine.

"How is she?"

"Not good.. she's doing a little better then before"

"What was wrong with her?"

"Well we assume she tried attempting suicide. We found a large dosage of pills inside her stomach, we got them out safely but.."

"But what?"

"She's in a coma"

"A coma? For how long?" My voice trembled

"We aren't sure only time can tell I'm really sorry"

Doctor Scott rested her hand on my shoulder for a second before walking away.

"You can go see her if you'd like" the nurse from before said

I slowly walked into the room Bella was in. The sight in front of me broke my heart. She looked lifeless. There was some kind of tube sticking out of her mouth and she was hooked up to a bunch of machines. I couldn't help but to let tears fall down my cheeks. I heard several sniffles from behind me. I turned around to see my mates with tears in their eyes. I walked up to Bella and grabbed her hand

"Please wake up " I whispered as if she would

I know she wouldn't but I just thought if I said it she would. A nurse that I haven't seen yet came into the room

"Lads I'm sorry but visiting hours are over" She said her voice sounding exhausted

"Well I'm not leaving" I said firmly

"Us either" Louis said

"I thought so , would you like some pillows and blankets?" She sighed obviously not wanting to argue with is

"Yes please that would be nice" Harry mumbled slightly smiling at the woman

She slightly smiled then walked out. A few minutes later her and a few other nurses walked in with a bunch of pillows and blankets. I sat down in a chair next to Bella's bed

"Liam have you told Leslie yet?" Niall asked

"Shit no, she's going to be heart broken" I whispered

"Yeah we know the feeling" Louis muttered

"I have to tell Jordan and Tom also" Harry said

I took out my phone I entered my passcode then sent a message to Leslie

Liam:
Babe I need you to come to the hospital.

Leslie:
what why? is everything okay?

Liam:
no its Bella

Leslie:
what's wrong with her!!?? is she okay!?

Liam:
I'll tell you once you get here floor c room 326

Within thirty minutes Leslie was rushing into Bella's hospital room. A gasp escaped her lips and tears formed in her eyes when she seen Bella laying in the hospital bed

"What happened?" Leslie sobbed

"They think she tried committing suicide and now she's in a coma" I mumbled

Leslie didn't say anything sobs just coming out. I didn't know what else to do but to wrap my crying girlfriend in my arms and reassure her that everything is okay.

*****

When I woke up I was on the floor. I looked over to see Leslie next to me still asleep. I stretched. One place that is the most uncomfortable to sleep is the hospital floor. I got up . The guys were all still asleep except for Harry.

"have you gotten any sleep?" I asked rubbing my eyes

"No I've been awake this whole time," Harry mumbled

"Why? You need to sleep"

"I'll be fine"

"Mate get some sleep "

"No, Liam I'm scared" Harry whispered looking at me with sadness in his eyes

"Of what?"

"That if I go to sleep she'll never wake up and either will I"

"Harry, Bella is going to be fine I promise now get some sleep"

Harry stared at Bella for a long moment before sighing. He nodded his head at me then let go of her hand. He went and laid down next to Niall. Later in the afternoon Jordan, Tom, and Kate came to see Bella.

"Why would she do this?" Kate asked taking a hold of Harry's hand

"We don't know" Louis replied rather harshly towards her

"I will never forgive you if she dies Kate," Tom said suddenly glaring at Kate

"What me? What did I do?" Kate asked confused with a hurt look on her face

"You took away what she loves most" Jordan hissed

"Which was?" Kate asked

By this time I'm sure everyone was confused. How would this be Kate's fault.

"Harry" Jordan and Tom both said at the same time

Harry tried to fight a smile and Louis just frowned.

"Its not my fault" Kate whispered tears brimming her eyes.

"No one is blaming you" Niall said

"Jordan and Tom are! If I knew how she felt about Harry I would've stayed away from him" Kate's voice trembled

"Kate its not you fault" Harry reassured her placing a kiss to her temple

"Well if she doesn't wake up then yes it is" Kate cried

"Damn it, it's no ones fault, if its any ones fault it's mine! I don't want to hear another god damn word about it! My sister is going to be fine" I said through gritted teeth quite fed up with all this bullshit.

Everyone looked at me in shock. I'm don't usually get upset like this. I honestly feel like its my fault. I know I've always treat her like a little kid its cause I care so much for her. Now look at her she's in the hospital in a coma. I'll go mad if I lose her. Hearing her heartbeat on the monitor is what gives me hope she's going to make it through this.
