Dont go

I feel two arms around me, comforting me? "shh baby what's wrong?" harry says, distress clear in his voice. "l-Luke.. he was in.. He was in a car accident.. he may not make it.." He shakes his head urging me to continue "he's in America." he chuckles unwrapping his arms around me. "you're not going." I look at him and mentally throw daggers at him "watch me." he scoffs as he runs his fingers through his hair, the manages to meet my gaze "it's me or him baby."

I arrive at the airport and go through security, managing to not make the machine to go off. I sit down on a nearby bench and call my mom "hello?" I say irritated "luke is doing better.. his heart.. it races when we say your name.. he may have amnesia if he wakes up.. he won't remember you." I shake my head, unable to make tears appear. "flight 221 board now, flight 221 board now." I hear over the speakers "I got to go I'm boarding right now." she hits end after saying a short 'goodbye' and now I'm off to Atlanta.

I awaken to somebody lightly tapping my shoulder "um miss? can I sit here?" he says referring to the seat to my left. "yes." I say and turn my head back to watch the sky. I hope luke is okay, if not I can't live without him, I won't live without him. "who are you going to visit?" I say trying to get rid of the awkward silence around us "sister and you?" he says, how do I put luke? brother? boyfriend? ex boyfriend? "an old friend." he chuckles and asks "may I know your name?" I turn my head meeting perfect hazel eyes "Lillian and yours?" My eyes dart from his eyes to his lips, what if he has a girlfriend? you can't go around kissing random dudes, my conscious tells me. "Ashton, Ashton irwin." he says in an Australian accent.

The flight ends a few hours after that, me and Ashton basically know each other better than we know ourselves. I leave with his number and a new friend. I quickly gather my stuff and head to the Atlanta hospital, where Aston is. "hello? mom?" I say rushing down the interstate "where are you?" She says frantically as I pull into the parking lot of the hospital "what room is he in?" I say parking my car and getting out, locking it behind me "room 730" I hit end and walk to the rather handsome nurse sitting at the desk. "what room?" he says as I look into his dark brown eyes "730" he notifies me that it's on the next level and the third door to the right.

I wait impatiently as the elevators door opens to reveal the floor luke is on. I rush through the doors and find Luke in the hospital room, looking half dead. The remaining family members leave the room to give us our privacy. "he can hear you, but he's unable to respond" my mother says as she walks out of the door. I chuckle at the sight before me, his feet are hanging off of the bed, being 6'4. he won't fit, how ironic is that? "oh Luke, I'm so sorry." I say as I kneel down next to him "you know I never stopped loving you, I always will." his eyes fluttered open at my words.

"Lillian?" he asks as tears brim both of our eyes "promise you won't leave me." he says I shake my head "I promise." the heart monitor flatlined, I scream as his eyes close and his grip on my hand loosens. "no! you can't leave me! luke!" I screamed as two doctors came in the room "calm down, miss young." they said as one of them sat me in a chair "he wanted this" he said as he motioned towards the bed and now deceased Luke "if he were alive any longer he would be in pain for the rest of his life." he says as silent tears stream down my face "he wanted to see you before he..passed you know? he said to give this to you."

I took the letter out of his hand and before I could say thank you he left the room.
