Bellas PoV
I woke up and my head was pounding and my stomach felt like so one had stabbed it repeatedly. I could feel someone's hand on each of mine. One pair were warm, firm and large hands, the others were small soft and shaky. I slowly forced my eyes open. I was in a hospital room. Shit. That can't be good. I looked to my right, the smaller hands. Eliza. She had her head on the bed and was shaking. I looked to my left, the large hands. Harry. He had his head resting on his hands. I looked around the room and saw the other boys, El, Dani, Jamie and Luke all sitting around the room either with eyes closed or there head in there hands. I tried to remember why I was here. Everything was sort of a blur, I'm assuming it was yesterday I got sick. I had felt worse over the day. I remember my stomach feeling like it was on fire, crying from the pain. I never cry for physical pain, it must have been really bad. Harry, I remember Harry carrying me, telling me I would be okay. I used what energy I had and squeezed his hand. His head shot up. His eyes were red and had bags under them, his face was pale and his hair was a mess.

"Bella," his voice was barely a whisper. I gave him a weak smile. I squeezed Eliza's hand too and she looked up.

"Oh my god Bella," she slapped Luke who was beside her, he looked up and relief crossed his face. Slowly I watched as the domino effect took place and everyone looked up at me. All of there faces were tear stained and stressed, but turned relieved when they saw me. Their eyes were all red and they looked like they hadn't slept in a full day. Crap how long was I out? And how bad were my injuries? Dani ran out of the room to get the nurse and everyone kept gaping at me. I began to feel a little uncomfortable under all there stares. I turned to Harry who must have sensed my discomfort.

"Uh-the nurse said that once You wake up we should all just come in one by one so your not too overwhelmed." I nodded, for I couldn't seem to form any words. Everyone hesitantly got up, leaving the room, saying kind things on the way out. Harry was the last to get up, he gave my hand one final squeeze and a warm smile which I attempted to return. Then, I was alone again.

--------

About 10 minutes passed while nurse where taking vitals and things like that, then they all left and Niall came in. He sat down next to me.

"How are you feeling?" He looked extremely worried.

"I'm doing ok." He nodded and grabbed my hand.

"Fuck Bella we were so scared." He quickly flicked away a tear that had escaped.

"Niall-um-what exactly happened much. It's sort of all blurry." He looked back up at me and gulped.

"Ok. How much do you want to know?" I thought about it.

"Everything, I don't really remember much and I want to know what happened." He nodded then took a deep breath.

"When we came home yesterday you were in really bad shape, crying sweating shivering, then your coughed up blood so we called the paramedics. Harry took you down stairs and the ambulance took you to the hospital. You were in surgery for more than 10 hours. You had internal bleeding. They said-" he took a shaky breath.

"-they said that even if everything went well your might still not wake up. Surgery went like 2 hours longer then they had originally thought so we didnt think you would wake up. We were terrified, especially Harry, he was a mess. He sat on the floor for like 10 hours straight and didnt move." He looked at our hands.

"Shit Bella you can't do that to us again." He made no attempt to wipe away the next tears that fell. I squeezed his hands, I went to say something reassuring but then realised something.

"Niall how did I get internal bleeding." He turned red and looked down.

"Niall?" I pressed on.

"Uhh" he stuttered.

"Niall James Horan how did I get internal bleeding." I glared at him and spoke sternly. He mumbled something and I felt the little colour I had in my face drain.

"W-What?" I chocked out, hoping that I had misheard him. He sighed and looked at me.

"Ky, you had internal bleeding because of Ky punching you, they said that along with 'other factors' whatever that means, it was all to much for your body. Eventually you started bleeding a small amount inside your abdomen, it was too small to make any difference until yesterday. I'm so sorry Bella." I nodded and then the nurse came in, saying the others were becoming really impatient so Niall had to leave. He gave me a kiss on the cheek then smiled and left. The nurse told me she would give me a few minutes rest before she sent the next person in. I thanked her and she left. I let the smile fall off my face instantly. Ky and other factors. Other factors. Fuck.





Eliza's PoV
I Waited for the nurse to come back and say I could go to see Bella. But when she did, I couldn't move. What if she didnt want to see me. What if she hates me? I said some really terrible things to her. What if she can't forgive me? What if she doesn't want to forgive me? There were 8 other people here who Bella would much rather see.

"Liza?" Louis voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I barely registered him calling me Liza. He gave me a soft smile.

"Bellas going to want to see her best friend, go." I gave him a genuine smile.

"Thank you Louis," He motioned his hand towards her room and I stood up and walked to it. I took a deep breath before entering. I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks and made no effort to stop them. I smiled when she looked up at me.

"Hey baby girl," I sniffled. She smiled back at me.

"Why are you crying. I'm the one who had surgery." I laughed and walked to her, laying next to her in the bed when she reached out her arms to me. I leant my head on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Bella," I sobbed.

"Hon it's okay-"

"No it's not." I cut her off. "What I said is not ok. I didn't mean any of it and I'm so sorry Bella," For a minute she didnt say anything. Perfect, she hates me. Just fucking perfect.

"Eliza." I couldn't tell what tone she was using. "Your my best friend, you may as well be my sister, you've been here for me throughout everything, and I can never repay you for that. Yeah, what your said hurt, but I think maybe I needed to here it. I need to be more realistic and stop expecting more from people who give me nothing, and nothing from the people who will give me more. We got into a fight, honestly with our personalities I'm surprised we don't get into more. So, yes, it is ok Eliza." I let out a breath I hadn't realised I had been holding and hugged her around her shoulders so I would hurt her, then I leant back down on her. We stayed like that for a few minutes. It was a little weird that while Bella was the hurt one, and I looked at her like my little sister most of the time, I was the one acting like a baby cuddled up to her. After about 10 minutes the nurse came and made me leave. I was reluctant to go but I needed to let the others see her. So eventually I left.






Harry's PoV
I painfully watched as everyone went to see Bella. It was over two hours before I got my chance to see her. The nurse took me back to her room, explaining that she was still in a fragile state, was very tired both physically and emotionally blah blah blah. Things I already knew. I thanked the nurse and walked into her room, I had speant the last few house planning out what I would say to her when she woke up, but now when I saw her, I realised I didn't need to talk. So I laid down next to her, taking her frail body in my arms and stoked her hair. I kissed her on the top of her head.

"I'm so glad your ok." I whispered. She snuggled closer into my body. About 5 minutes passed before I said something else.

"The nurses said that after me, everyone can come in. But if you want I'll tell them to give you some time, you look exhausted." I heard her giggle slightly.

"What?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"We'll its just, I was sleeping for like 12 hours. You've been up for over a day. It's you who should rest not me. I'm okay." She smiled up at me and I shook my head at how stubborn she was.

"Bella you weren't exactly sleeping you were undergoing surgery, which has made you both emotionally and physically drained. I sat on the floor while you were having surgery which really just made my arse sore. So it's you who should rest." She rolled her eyes.

"How about a compromise."

"I'm listening." I smirked. She continued.

"How about you stay here with me and we both rest for another 10 minutes, then you let everyone come in and see me. Then when you all leave I promise I will sleep again if you will." I sighed dramatically.

"Fine," I huffed. She leant up to kiss me but I turned away, still acting fake mad. When I looked back down she was making her famous puppy dog face which of course I couldn't resist. I chuckled and leant Down to kiss her. Our lips met and fireworks went off in my head, I prayed she felt them too. I was about to lean into the kiss more but then remembered our little 'compromise' and pulled back.

"Rest now, make out when your better." She rolled her eyes but didnt argue, leaning back down into my chest.






Jamie's PoV
After Harry had been gone a good half hour I went I check on Bella, just to make sure everything was ok. Making sure the others weren't looking so they didnt follow, I went to her room. I creaked open her door, and my heart melted at what I saw. Both Bella and Harry were asleep. His arms were wrapped around her protectively and her head was buried into her chest. I smiled at how cute they were together. Yes, I know. Of course I know! If they wanted to see it, Luke and Eliza probably would know to, but since they don't want to see it, they don't. I closed the door quietly and left, letting them both get some rest. They needed it.







Bellas PoV
I woke up with arms around me. I looked up and saw Harry's sleeping face. I smiled, he looked adorable! His lips were slightly parted and his hair had fallen to partially cover his eyes.

"Your watching me," I blushed, embarrassed to have been caught staring. He chuckled and opened his eyes. He leant down and pecked me on the lips.

"We slept a little longer than intended." I looked at the clock. Visiting hours were over in 45 minutes.

"Crap," I went to sit up but gasped in pain. Immediately Harry was sitting up next to me.

"What hurts," he hurriedly said. But the pain had passed.

"Na its fine now, I just shouldn't have sat up so quickly." I tried to reassure him. He looked unconvinced. I leant back down so we were laying down again (although not horizontal because the stupid hospital beds didnt let me).

"Harry, I'm alright. Honestly," his stern face broke and was replaced with sadness.

"I thought I'd lost you. I thought you were gone. Bella I was so scarred. I thought you were d-dead" A tear fell down his cheek. I brought my hand up to his face and wiped it away with my thumb. He looked down. I placed my finger underneath his chin and lifted his face up to mine.

"But I'm not. I'm here Harry, I'm ok. And I'm not going anywhere any time soon." I brought his lips to mine. We brought apart when we heard the door being fumbled with. A nurse came in.

"Your other friends are requesting to see you now."
