It took hours for Naill to come back. Everyone knew that and because their stomachs were rumbling, they decided to go to the cafeteria and buy something to eat.

Not everyone wanted to leave the room but Niall's parents promised to tell a nurse about their whereabouts. Then, if something should happen, the hospital staff knew where Niall's family and friends were. It was a comvincing point and that's how they found themselves outside of Niall's room with a nurse, who so happened to walk by. Apparently, there was a little luck left in their lives.

"Of course. Someone will come get you if something happens. Don't worry", the nurse, a still very young woman, promised, which was a definite relief. Exactly what they wanted to hear.

"Thank you", Maura said and the six of them began walking towards the elevators. Maura walked next to Bobby, who had an arm slung around her shoulders (probably to keep her upright), Greg was walkink next to Louis and Liam was walking next to Harry. The last pair took smaller steps and Liam brought some space between them and the other four. Harry was worrying him.

"He's going to be alright, Harry. You know him." Their shoulders and arms were touching each other occasinally. "Nothing can bring him down like that."

"But it did, Liam", Harry whispered and Liam could see the tears shimmering in the green eyes. "He almost died and there is still the chance that he might. You've heard the doctor as well as I did."

Liam stopped them and went infront of the younger boy. He brought his arms up and laid them on Harry's shoulders. Thanks to the touch, he was able to feel the boy shaking and brought him into a tight embrace instead. The others noticed the absence of the other boys and stopped as well. Looking behind them, they saw the two hugging boys and understood that they needed some time alone. That's why they continued walking and thought about buying them something to eat.

"I know, Harry. I know that Niall might die but he's a transplant. You know what that means. There is a very high chance that he will survive and I, Liam Payne, am absolutely sure that we will see him again while he's dancing and singing and just like he was before all this sh*t happened. Do you understand me, Harry? I. Am. Sure!" Liam didn't say much but the words he said were the most honest things he has ever said. He was doubting it just a few hours ago, when Niall's heart stopped but the fact that there was a transplant and Niall was in the operation centre right now did nothing but wash away his worries.

He was saying the trutgh. He really did believe that Niall would survive this.

Harry was now full on crying. Big tears were rolling down his pink cheeks and his nose was running like crazy. If it wasn't Harry, Liam would probably think that it was gross but it was Harry and they knew each other so well by now, they were living with each other, they literally shared their lives, and he would never think that anything that Harry did was gross. He didn't even care that Harry's tears and snot was all over his shirt. It was the last thing he cared about.

"Please tell me what you're thinking, Harry", Liam whispered. The silence was too long for his liking and Harry was definitely too sad. He had to do something but he also knew that the only thing that could make Harry happy again was Niall. Sadly, that was nothing that Liam could influence.

"I just want Nialler back", Harry sobbed and hid his face even more in Liam's chest. "Why did this happen to him, Liam? Why not somebody else? There were so many people in the stadium but this man chose our Nialler! That's just not fair! I hate this so much, Liam. I hate it." Harry's words got quieter with every sentence he said until he was only sobbing and whimpering.

It broke Liam's heart. The worst thing was that Liam was thinking the exact same thing. Well, he was actually wondering how the man with the gun was even able to get into the stadium. Why didn't the security guards see the weapon and why could nobody stop him from shooting Niall? It didn't make sense in his mind. This wasn't supposed to happen, especially not to Niall.

Liam really wanted to explain why it happened but there was no explanation and Liam was so angry! And sad. And conused. And... He was so much right now.So, instead of saying something, he just held Harry a bit tighter, rubbed his back and shushed him. Now and then a small "Everything will be alright" left his lips.

They stayed like that for a few minutes before Harry stopped sobbing and only a few tears fell down his cheeks. Harry wasn't better but for the moment he would be okay.

Liam managed a small smile. "Do you think we should go to the cafeteria and eat something with the others?"

Harry nodded slowly but when Liam wanted to go forwards, Harry grabbed the older's hand and didn't let go. Liam just kept on smiling and together they made their way to the cafeteria.

The other four people were already seated and ate the sandwiches they bought. Harry actually managed a small smile when he sat down and Louis hugged him from the side. It was his first smile since the shooting and it somehow told Liam that everything would, indeed, end well.

Thankfully, the nurse or somebody else didn't look for them, which told them that nothing bad happened and Niall was still being operated. No news is good news, Liam reminded everyone.

They were back in Niall's hospital room. Just sitting and waiting. It was all they could do really. Of course, there was a TV in the room but nobody felt like turning it on or listening to some crappy show or whatever. The silence helped them to think about the important things and if somebody wanted to talk, everybody listened gratefully.

Liam was sitting on the chair to the right of the window and looked down at his phone where he opened the Twitter App. He scrolled through his feed for a few minutes when he saw the hashtag #hopeforonedirection. He, of course, clicked on it and read a few tweets. What he saw almost made him cry. Their fans were asking how they were feeling, wishing them good luck with everything, hoping for Niall to be better soon and so much more.

A few of the tweets were...

@1D_forever: @onedirection I don't know what exactly happened but if I could, I would give everything I could to help Niall

@marrylarry: saw the video of @onedirection's show. Don't give up, your fans will stay behind you

There were also tweets written by people who were at the actual show and while Liam, Louis and Harry were glad for not seeing the exact moment when Niall got shot (except for this stupid interviewer who showed them the video), there sadly were a lot of fans who saw it and it broke Liam's heart. Their fans were so important for him.

@niallslover32: was at @onedirection's show and saw it happen with my own two eyes. It was awful but I saw how much the lads care for each other and am sure everything will turn out alright

@daddyliam: the show of @onedirection was supposed to be the best night of my life. I saw them perform and it was wonderful and I know I will have this memory forever. Don't know if that's good or not though...

The last one stuck Liam in the heart. This was not how their fans should remember their shows. They always tried to leave the stage with a smile and to give the fans the best time of their life. Usually, it was exactly like that but this one show changed everything. Who knows if it will ever be like it was?

Liam decided to tweet something. The fans deserved to know what was happening.

@LiamPayne: waiting for Ni's operation to be over. Everything seems to be fine. Don't worry too much. Will keep you updated.

That had to be enough for now. Plus, Liam didn't know how much he was allowed to say and a phone call from management was nothing that he wanted to handle right now. Management got updates from Paul, who called the hospital every few hours since he's left the band and Niall's family alone.

More relaxed, Liam put his phone back into his pocket and turned around. He was now facing the window. The view was really pretty. There was a park and a playground just across the street and Liam could see little children playing there, even though they were in the sixth floor of this big building.

He sighed and leant his head against the window sill.

Two hours later, the door opened and two nurses rolled a bed into the room and on the bed, unsurprisingly and yet very surprisingly, lay Niall.

Every peron in the room jumped off of their chairs and a few excited 'Niall!'s could be heard. Maura and Harry actually started crying and right after the nurses placed the bed where it was supposed to be, Niall's friends and family stood around him.

The blonde boy was still unconscious but the breathing tube wasn't down his throat anymore. Instead he just had a cannula in his nose. The heart monitor had to be attached to him again though but nobody cared, they were just happy that Niall was here and it seemed that he was okay.

Thankfully, doctor Cameron came into the room and smiled while looking at everybody's happy faces. This was why he was a doctor. There were of course sad things happening but a lot of times, something great, almost like a miracle happened and that was what it was worth figthing for. Happy families, happy friends, happy...

Doctor Cameron coughed to get everybody's attention and they turned around.

Harry came up to the doctor and actually hugged him which surprised the doctor and Niall's family but not Louis and Liam. Harry was that kind of person who showed his mercy in the form of hugs and tears. Well, they were all crying right now.

"Thank you so much, doctor Cameron. Thank you for helping Nialler", Harry sobbed like there was no tomorrow and the doctor didn't really know what to do. The spluttered but thought it was very nice to see how much of an impact he had on these lives.

"Well, it's my job, I guess", he laughed and patted Harry's back, who then took a step back and smiled at the doctor.

Liam couldn't take his eyes off of Niall. The heart monitor showed a now steady rhythm, which did relieve him but other than that, Niall still lookd very ill. His skin was still as deathly pale as it was before the operation, there were still dark shadows underneath his eyes and he was still just skin and bones really. It was awful.

Doctor Cameron coughed again. He got over to Niall's bed and laid his hand down on Niall's shoulder. "I know you probably want to know what's going on and how things will go on but I'd say we wait until little Naill over here wakes up and can listen to me rambling. All you have to know from here is that the operation went very well and Niall's body accepted the lung. He's out of danger right now but we will keep an eye on him if something suddenly goes wrong. Everything else later. I hope that's okay."

Bobby nodded. "Thank you, doctor. It means so much and as long as he's okay, we can wait a bit longer. When will he wake up?"

Doctor Cameron thought about it for a few seconds, then answered Bobby and everything else in the room. "It may take some time but I'd say an hour. Maybe even less. Depends on how long it takes his body do fight off the medication. We will come back in an hour and see", he promised and then turned around and left, just like the other time but the situation was very different right now.

The remaining people in the room sat down again but this time near the bed, where their Nialler lay still unconscious. They were just so happy to have him back and maybe it will all be better now? They could only hope.

But right now, they had to wait for Niall to wake up. Hopefully, it wouldn't take him too long. They really wanted him back.
