Chapter 21

Liam's POV

I kneeled down to carry her up.

"Lou, drive us to the hospital." I walk briskly down the stairs with her in my arms.

Louis saw Gracie in Liam's arm and understood right away what was happening. He ran to take the car keys and started the car, heading to the hospital.

"Please be alright, I love you." He kissed her forehead, holding her tightly at the back sit.

Gracie's POV

"Gracie?" I hear someone calling me.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice called out.

I struggled to open my eyes because of the bright light.

"Yeah." I whispered and smiled at Liam.

"How long have I slept?" I asked, sitting up with Liam's help and he sat on the bed as well.

"Bout 6 hours." He looked at his watch before answering me.

"And you've been here all this time?" I gasped.

"Where else can I be, my dear." He stroked his thumb across my cheek and smiled at me.

"Home? You should be home sleeping, silly!" I pulled his hand down from my face and held it in my hand.

"How do you expect me to sleep when you're in the hospital, still unconscious?" He looked me in my eyes.

"I'm sorry." I pulled him into a hug.

"Silly, why are you sorry?" He hugged me tightly.

"I did this this because I love you." He pulled away.

"I love you very, very much." He tucked my fringe behind my ear and looked at me.

I had tears in my eyes but I was smiling.

"I love you very, very much too, Liam Payne." A tear fell from my eye.

"Don't cry." He wiped the tear away.

"Come here." He pulled me to his chest.

We stayed that way for a whole minute before I pulled away.

"Have you informed my mum?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I told not to come because it's late, and I'm here." He said.

"Thank you." I smiled.

He's always so sweet.

Just then, the doors opened and Dan and a nurse came in.

"Hello Gracie, how are you feeling?" Dan asked.

"I'm good." I smiled and nodded my head.

"I'll leave you guys to talk." Liam kissed my cheek and went outside.

"I just told you I do not want to see you before our next appointment and on the same day you were admitted in." He raised his brow and looked at me.

I laughed.

"Is it my luck or yours?" I joked.

He continued asking a few normally asked question.

"Okay Gracie, you have to listen closely to everything I am going to say. This is very serious because the medicines that I have been giving are not helping as much as before. I will try to increase the dosage but I cannot assure you that it is going to work." He told me.

Charlotte suddenly just came to my mind.

"Am I….. going to….. Die? I stumbled on my words, tears forming in my eyes.

"I don't know, Gracie. But you have to prepare for the worst. I am trying to find a suitable heart for your transplant." He said calmly.

I was lost for words.

"You have to be brave. You have always been strong, I need you to stay strong." He put his hands on my shoulders.

I nodded, wiping away my tears.

"Thanks." I smiled up at him.

"Have a good rest, I will talk to your mum personally about this tomorrow." He cleared up and left.

"Honey, I am leaving the IV tube on. You are not suppose eat anything ok?" The nurse told me.

"Ok, thanks." She smiled at her and she walked out too.

I wiped my face one last time before Liam came in.

"Hey beautiful." He said cheekily as he walked across the room and kissed me, making me giggle.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"You're cute." I said pinching his cheek.

"Isn't that why you love me?" He grinned, making me laugh.

"Hey, I think you should go back home to rest." I stroked his hair.

"But I can't you alone here." He pouted.

"It's okay, I'm sleeping too." I assured him.

He hesitated awhile before finally agreeing to it.

"I love you." He kissed my cheek.

"I love you too." I smiled.

I didn't let go of his hand until it was far enough to break us apart.

After he was gone, I was alone. Instantly regretting about asking him to go home. But I can't be selfish.

I closed my eyes.

Dear God, please don't take me away so soon. Please give me more time to spend it with the people I love. Please.

A tear fell from my eye and slowly all my tears started falling out.

Hi omg this chapter is so short... SORRY :(

Ok... nobody is voting for my poll, this is so sad.

So in case you were thinking " Why is this author so dumb? Of course we want a happy ending! Why does she even have to ask!" Ok... So it is because when i started to write this story, i wanted to end it in a sad ending because i think it makes more sense. HOWEVER, i did said that i wanted to listen to my readers and write, and so i have readers telling me they want a happy ending and tbh, i don't quite want to tear Liam and Gracie apart NOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOO :(

Okay so, please go over to my profile to vote!

Please review, it helps, i promise :)
