His expression was furious. His brows furrowed and his voice rising, nearly deafening. He wasn't happy, not with me, not with any one. So now I have to be the one responsible for my actions. I agreed to have the daunting task of having to go to the press conferences. They had already had a field day, but I still had to go to ensure that they didn't go after her and I had to say that she was just a friend. It wasn't the truth but I'd do anything to get her out of this mess. He agreed it be best for me to do the press conferences and not him, but he never said anything about going to go visit her. . .

They are rules and some rules are meant to be broken, but you can't break rules that haven't been set. So I would keep visiting and seeing her progress. It was my decision. The boys had gone to record but since I had a press conference this afternoon, I had time to sneak out and go see. Am I taking a risk? Yes. Am I crazy? Probably. Should I have listened to my manager? Definitely. I walked towards the docs office. I had called earlier since he knew I'd be coming. I waited in the chair. So far, nobody knew it was me. I was the clock tick and tock and my patience was somewhat littler by the minute. He came in with the usual clip board and his white coat and stethoscope around his neck.

"Doc." I said with slight hope in my voice as it echoed the room.

"Its been quite hard hiding her in this hospital since the press are relentless." He said getting straight to the point.

He always was a straight forward guy. Always to the point and always sharp with his words. Words seemed to be his weapon other than the tools he uses to help and save people from sickness and near death. It didn't take that much to notice that the press had been bothering him and that it annoyed him to see them persisting in the search to find her and to snap pictures.

I replied with a chuckle, "You know the press. Always wanting a scoop and sticking their noses into other peoples' business. Have they seen her since the incident?"

The reflection of the light bounced off the clear glass frame of his glasses before he simply replied, "I assure you, they couldn't find her even if they tried. I moved her to another facility. A rehabilitation facility where I only operate with my best nurses. She's there. We should probably go. The clock is ticking and there is only so much you can do before they find out your here and that she isn't in this hospital anymore."

I sighed with relief, they wouldn't find her here. She had been safely transported somewhere else. I nodded before walking out back of the hospital with the doc. I saw a few paps lurking around the shadows and corners but they didn't notice it was me. That wash out hair dye worked. I walked along with him and got in his car. The facility wasn't that close to the hospital as I expected. It was only half an hour away. We passed bridges and cars. Each car seemed to pass right behind us or in front of us. I looked out the glass window. The sun was trying to come out but it was very difficult for it to appear when the clouds were in the way. It was really cloudy today. Gloomy more like it. We passed yet another bridge but the sight of beach water and salt water made me feel a little less entangled from the world. It was more isolated. It was quite calming to know that it wasn't in the city. I needed a break from it. Traveling big city to big city, town to town. It got to be very tiring. New experiences were made very day at the expense of being exhausted and not getting enough sleep. A proper sleep was something that would come around every once in a while. The facility seemed to be on a small island located west of the hospital. I have to say, it great to not be me for once. Just to be a face in a sea of people. Those were the days that I was in peace. Now, its a bit chaotic but I make it through. Not by myself of course. The boys keep us together. I felt a small yield before deriving my attention to the facility. We were already here. It seems that time goes faster when your mind isn't on reality but in your head.

The facility itself was like any other building which was the genius of it. You could barely tell this was a rehabilitation facility. It seemed more like a private testing facility than anything. It was very clean and tidy. A garden was on both sides, complimenting it nicely. The crisp ocean was right beside it. The facility wasn't huge but it did seem bigger on the inside than the outside. They say appearances can be deceiving. This building was definitely a mirage. We made it inside to see it looked like an ordinary hospital except with specialized rooms for each patient staying here.

We passed through the sliding doors before he said calmly, "This facility is private, meaning no one without a special pass can enter. This facility is a calming place where the patients can progress at their time. Its calming, almost seems like a place where you can do yoga or meditate. Any patient that can, may be able to walk around outside. Inside there is a pool for hydrotherapy and other therapeutic solutions for the needs of the patients."

He slid his pass through a card holder, it almost seemed like the machine you slide your credit card through when shopping. He passed through the doors and I followed closely behind. I looked at him before saying, "So where is she?"

I was impatient and he could tell, "Impatient aren't we? Well she is a few room downs."

I asked with a glint of hope, "Has she awoken yet?"

He said disappointingly, "No. We have been passing nutrients through the iv. She isn't responding yet. Give it some time, I'm sure she will wake up soon since her heartbeat level has gone up a little. Her color is slowly returning. "

The doctor stopped at a door before opening it and letting me in first. I looked at him before walking through. There she was. She was still a little pale and with that cast on her foot. I sat beside her and held her hand. It was still cold. Stone cold. He checked the file located in front of her bed. He read it before saying, "Well recuperation is slowly starting to be seen. I don't think she has enough energy to get up yet. Her head was pretty shaken up due to the MRI and X-rays. The fluid has returned to it original state so its something to think about. Something positive to think about."

I nodded before he said, "I'll give you two some time."

He left and closed the door giving us sometime together alone. I sighed before looking at her again. She was completely silent and frozen. I kissed her hand before saying, "I'm here. I'm here now. Please wake up. I want to tell you everything. I want you to wake up and smile and be here with me. I want you here awake. Please wake up."

I sounded desperate before saying, "Please."

I put my head on the bed beside her hand, which didn't move. Not a single finger moved. I mentally was angry and desperate and frustrated that I couldn't do anything but come and see her everyday and be her company. I couldn't do anything. I'm helpless. Maybe she is still weak. I looked at the chart, her heart rate was steady. I couldn't deduce anything else from the chart before noticing how depressing this room was. She wouldn't want it like this. I opened the window blinds for her, letting the sunlight in. Her room had the view of the ocean and it was amazing seeing the waves come in. Once the light came in a little bit more, I took a seat beside her again. I was reminded of the last moment I had her before she slipped between my fingers and closed her eyes for these past days. I remember her touch. The tremble. The blood. It was traumatizing and I didn't want that to be my last memory of her. I wouldn't stand for it. I couldn't. If she were awake, what would she do? She would smile and it would just brighten up the whole room. I looked at my watch and realized I had to go. The press conference.

I didn't have enough time with her. I had to go and I did. I kissed her forehead before leaving. The doctor took us back to the hospital and from there I went to the hotel and freshened up, washing the dye out of my hair. I brushed it and got dressed before getting to the press conference. I sighed before the paps started blasting me with questions.

"Niall. Niall." A women called.

"Yes?" I said forcing a smile on my face.

"Are you with the girl? Are you guys a couple?" She said.

These paps always wanna get straight to the juicy details don't they. . .

"No, she was just a fan. I spilled coffee on her which my mistake and well we took pictures and I made it up to her." I simply said which broke my heart at just saying that we were FRIENDS. .

Friends, just isn't the word I associate me and her with. I want her. I want all of her. I don't want people touching her. Nobody but me gets her attention. Yes, its selfish, but I'm only human and I want what I want. Its crazy how you meet someone and flip your world upside down. She was exactly that.

"Another question." I said pointing to a man in the second row of the crowd of questioning and photo snapping paps.

"So you guys aren't together?" He said wiggling his brow.

I made it clear, "NO. We aren't together. She was only here for a few days. But I assure you we aren't involved in anyway romantically."

I went on with the questions. I said that we weren't together at least a dozen times. These people are really persistent aren't they? After the press conferences I made it back to the hotel. I exhausted. At least, I have gotten to see her. She's getting better but still I feel empty. It wasn't fair that I couldn't do anything but stand from the sidelines. I didn't say a word when I got back to the hotel. I just went to my room. That's when I had the idea. I would write a letter everyday addressed to Ruby and I would until she woke up. I wasn't in the talking mood. I heard a knock on the door.

"Niall? Niall? Is everything alright?" It was Harry.

I said in a depressing tone, "She still hasn't woken up and the paps are driving me mad. I don't want to talk right now."

I could hear Harry sigh and breathe heavily before saying, "We're here for you mate. Whenever you want to come out."

I didn't reply. I just thought that maybe writing would make me get my mind off of this. The truth was, being Niall Horan right now was really depressing. I didn't really want to do anything much. I took out a blank piece of paper and wrote. I just wrote my mind. How much I missed her and what an absence it was without her.

I started with a date and then wrote my mind and thoughts and heart into it. I took a deep breath and poured my heart out. I put it out on my sleeve.

Dear Ruby,

It has been a while since I've heard your voice. I miss you. It almost haunting. When I close my eyes I remember you. I remember what make me fall in love with you again. I remember how you smile and how you try making everyone else happy. I remember your compassion and how we met. Every time I open my eyes I remember that you aren't here and your absence is killing me. How is it that we've just met almost 3 weeks ago and I already feel this way about you? I went to see you today and you were still frozen. Somehow I blame this on me. I was supposed to pick you up and I didn't. I'm constantly blaming myself for something in the past when I can barely hold on to the present. I miss you. I can't sleep because its hard to forget you. I just can't and so I'm going to write these letters like people did in the past. Call me old fashioned but I think its the only to communicate with you. You've been asleep for 3 weeks now and from now on, I will write one of these every day to you.

I saw the ocean today and thought that when you wake up we would be there. We would feel the waves crash on the shore and on our toes and we would enjoy the sunset and the waves envelope it. If only. The first time I saw you I felt a connection. We met a coffee shop and I clumsy as ever, spilled coffee on your shirt. That little coffee shop is what brought us together. The thing is, fate brings people together in the most unexpected ways. Even if you don't remember me, I will always remember you. You are beautiful and make me feel warm inside, that way I know that I don't have a cold heart. If I ever do please remind me who you are and what you do to me. You give ne butterflies and I wouldn't change that, not ever. You have hid your eyes from me since the accident but when you open them and reveal them to the world, my patience would have paid off. I wish you were here and I am sorry I dragged you into this mess. It was my fault from the start.

If only I tell you how I feel to see you in pain. It wasn't your fault, it shouldn't have happened to you. For that I'm eternally sorry. I just hope that my love for you will always grow stronger when I think of you. I do. I always do. Every day, to infinity and beyond. So when you wake you, just know that I will always be there for you. I won't stop fighting for you and I won't ever leave you behind. You and me are a team and I promise that this love I have for you is real and it will always be there. As long as your there, my love is there. My love, I hope you wake soon, I will be the first standing by you and the first to see you again. That time will come soon. I know it. Until then my love. This is my hope for the future. Sweet dreams tonight.

Love, Niall

I finished my letter and afterwards I felt so much better. I let my emotions out and it was true what they say. Sometimes you do need something that lets you let all your emotions out. This was it for me and until she wakes up, I would continue doing so. I sighed as I put in a box. I would fill it up with my letters to her and when she would wake up and I was finished with all those letters, I would give them to her. I took a deep breath before feeling my mouth smile a little. I looked out to the stars before smiling. We are beneath the same stars and I know that once she wakes up, we'll be staring at the same ones, me and her. I sighed and opened my door and decided to join the boy with whatever they were up to, leaving the pen right by the letter.

Aww wasn't he adorable!!!! Only a few more chapter till she wakes up!! I'm so excited. Until the next update guys, have a nice day!!
