When arrived at Oxford street, the others weren’t there yet. I made my way to the Starbucks. I heard my name several times, but seriously, I didn’t care. I just hoped I wasn’t too late yet. A lot of girls followed me inside. Seriously I love them, but just not now. I looked around, but I didn’t see her. No, this wasn’t possible, not when I was so close. I scan the shop three, four times. Then I see a girl walking to a table. At first, she doesn’t give me, or rather everybody around me, much notice, but then she looks up and her eyes meet mine. After a few moments, I start to move towards her. Normally, I’d apologize to those people, but not now. I pull Liz in a tight hug and I feel tears running down my cheek, mostly because I was relieved. When I open my eyes I see a guy right behind Liz. I recognize him as Tyson. He shove a knife in my forearm. I hear a few girls behind me squeak. I let Liz go for just one second, but that moment, Tyson rips her away from me. Some other guy tackles me. He pins me to the ground. “Don’t you ever dare to touch her again.” What? Normally, I would’ve pushed him of easily, but my arm hurt like hell. Then I get some unexpected help. Most of the girls that followed me just watched with open mouth, but a few of them actually helped me. Still dizzy, I got up. “Thanks,” I murmur. I look around, half in panic and completely panic when I see what happened. Liz laid on the ground, with Zayn and Niall next to her. Her white blouse was ripped around her belly and completely red. Tyson was furious and still trying to get to Liz, but Liam and Louis, equally furious, kept him away from her. Honestly, especially Louis, is scaring me to death at the moment.

I was pacing while waiting for the doctor to come with some news. I was alone in the hospital, the rest was at the police station. I hate hospitals, and I was only here because my arm needed to be stitched up. It was a good excuse, but now I was waiting in the hallway and it drove me crazy. “Mr Styles, you may visit her. We took care of her wounds, but she suffered a lot of blood loss and her spine got damaged.” “That means?” “We can’t tell till she wakes up. But it is most likely that she’ll be partially paralysed.”

I held Liz’ hand and sobbed silently. I imagined this moment quite differently. A woman entered the room. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you,” the woman says quietly. Who is she and what is she doing here? Her eyes are red and she is very pale. Despite that, there is something familiar about her. I look at her again, but I can’t put my finger on it. “No, it is fine.” I didn’t like to leave Liz with her, but I was pretty hungry, and it’d only be for a few minutes. Outside, I met Jay and Mark. “Hello.” Jay gave me a sad smile. “You know who that woman is?” I asked them. Jay bit her lip. I was right that she knew. “Her name is Lycca. She is… Her mother.”
