Living The Dream

Awake

Rebecca's POV:

I woke up in a strange room with a strange feeling in my stomach. Then the memories flashed before my eyes. I wish someone was there. But I was all alone. Was I dead? I don't even know where I am? And then I heard it. The slow beeping of a heart monitor right next to the bed I was laying in. I looked down, I was wearing a hospital gown. I lifted it up to see if it was true and not just my imagination. I saw a huge bandage covering my whole stomach. Woah, this must've been worse than I thought. The door opened and a nurse walked in.

"Oh Rebecca! I'm so glad you're awake! In case you're wondering, you're family has been in and out but the doctor said that you needed quiet or else you wouldn't wake up so they are all in the waiting room!" She smiled at me and took some tests. "I can send them in if you want! But the doctor must be in here first!" She asked politely. I simply nodded. Honestly I wasn't sure how I would react to seeing everyone, especially Harry. Oh Harry. I've missed his voice. I've missed everything about him. How long have I been out?

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked surprised to see my voice was actually working.

"Two weeks tomorrow." I gasped. "You lost a lot of blood."

"Rebecca! Glad to see you are awake!" The doctor walked in.

"Can you tell me why I was out for so long?" I asked softly.

"Well what happened was you got stabbed, I'm not sure how, I was hoping you could tell us that part but the knife was small enough that when you're friends brought you here they didn't know it was still inside you so when they tried to stop the bleeding they would just push it in farther. We got it out right away, which is the good thing but you were asleep for almost two weeks." He says and I can barely process the whole thing.

"Do you mind telling us what happened?" The nurse asked. I nodded.

"We were dancing and Harry left to go get something to drink and told me to stay right there. A couple seconds later when I couldn't see him anymore someone grabbed my wrist and started pulling me outside into an alley. He had raped me and he told me if I screamed he would stab me," I paused."I tried not to scream but it hurt so bad." I began to cry. "And then I screamed and he stabbed me."

"I am very sorry that happened Rebecca but you should be okay soon." He smiled. "Would you like me to get you're friends?" He asked. I nodded laying back down.

Harrys POV:

Almost two weeks. Almost two weeks she's been asleep. When is she coming back to me? When can I hold her in my arms again?

We we were all sitting in the waiting room. Me, Brigid, Ethan, Beth, Jack, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. I told them how much she wanted to meet Perrie, El, and Dani so their here too.

A nurse walks into the room. "Family of..." She pauses and looks at her cliipboard. "Rebecca Smith, she's awake." Brigid, Ethan, and I are the first ones up following her into the room.

Her tiny body is laying there peaceful as ever. Staring at the wall. I run over to her and grab her hand.

"Harry." She whispers and grabs me into a hug. I hug back and rest my head on her shoulder.

"I missed you." I said.

"I missed you t--" she was cut off by Brigid and Ethan pushing me out of the way. Brigid wraps her arms around her neck, until Ethan pushes her off and hugs her waist. She winced.

"Rebecca I'm-- I'm sorry I didn't mean too." Ethan said and backed away.

"Ethan it's okay, it doesn't hurt that bad anyways." She smiled but I knew she was lying and so did Ethan.

"You're lying." He said. She just laughed and hugged him again.

"I never thought if I got stabbed One freakin Direction, Perrie Edwards, Eleanor Calder, and Danielle Peaser would be in my hospital room when I woke up." She said and we all burst out laughing.

After a while of everyone talking to Rebecca and talking to her about her wound which she called her 'battlescar', everyone kinda just started talking amount themselves.

"Becca! We forgot to ask one more question! How did you end up in that alley?" Brigid asked sitting on her bed. Her face went pale. Oh god.

Rebecca's POV:

I don't know if I can do this! I don't know if I can tell them! But I have to right? Yes! Yes I do! Alright here it goes!

And I told them the whole story. They all looked furious.

I hated putting them through this.
