Niall’s P.O.V.

I looked over at Kaylee as her perfect cheeks had streaks of tears running down them. “I thought he’d be awake by now… I completely forgot about that… I never thought they would have to… to…” And she couldn’t finish her sentence. Sob after sob left her perfect pink lips.

“Kaylee I am so sorry.” I said for the millionth time. I just wanted to hold her in my arms and make all the pain go away, make her stop hurting stop crying.

“I don’t want him to go Niall… I know he’s going to wake up.” She whispered as she looked down at the floor.

“Kaylee?” I said but it came out as more of a question.

“Y-yeah Niall.” She responded looking over at me as she wiped her tears away.

“Can I uh hug you?” I asked awkwardly. It was just a hug but considering she… well hates me it really isn’t.

“Please.” She whispered as she got up and walked over to me.  I stood up and opened my arms as she fell into them, her cheek rested against my chest as my chin fell on top of her head. “I shouldn’t have made you come… I’m so sorry.” She cried burying her face into my chest.

“Kaylee it’s fine. I know I wouldn’t want to go through something like this alone… I’m here for you.” I told her kissing the top her head. “I’ll always be here for you.” I mumbled hoping she didn’t hear it.

“Niall, I’ll go with you.” She stepped back and looked up at me as she sniffled. I gave her a confused look and she sighed. “I will go with you back home… if you want me to. I don’t want you to have to go alone.”

“W-would you really?” I asked in disbelief. She nodded and looked over to her poppy as he laid on the bed. “Well I’m leaving in two days.”

“Okay… I’ll give you the mone-“

“Kayls you aren’t paying for anything, I got it. Thank you.” I smiled pulling her into another tight hug. Her breaths were shaky as she cried a little longer, my t-shirt probably becoming stained.

“Ms.Kaylee… uhm would you like to figure this all out now or when?” The doctor asked as he came back in. She looked up her small hands fisting at my shirt.

“Now… are you sure you have to?” She asked her voice barely above a whisper.

“We have to… it’s the hospital rule. After 3 years of hospitalization, if there has been no improvement we have to pull the plugs.” He stated sitting in the stool. “Would you like to pull it tonight? What will happen is we will pull it and let everything run out, all the oxygen and what not…. There isn’t an absolute time he will go but it will be between hour 2 and 3.”

“Tonight? I don’t… I’m not sure if I can…” She looked up at me again and I bit my lip not sure what to say. “Okay, fine tonight.”

“Alright go home, eat something and come back and we will do it. We have to get a few things ready.” He stood up and walked over to Kaylee giving her a small hug. “He was a great man… I’m sorry.”

And with that he left the room. “C’mon Kaylee let’s go back to the hotel and get something to eat.” I grabbed her hand and pulled her after me but she didn’t budge.

“No. I’m staying here you can go…. I’ll be fine. I’ll see you later.” She pulled her wrist from my grip and turned around sitting on the chair grasping her poppy’s hand.

“Kaylee the doctor said to go home….”

“I don’t care what he said! I want to spend time with my damn poppy!” She snapped and I jumped a bit at the sudden raise of tone. “I’m so sorry….”

“It’s fine. Listen, I’m going to go…. So you can be alone for a little and I’ll come back later with the boys so you’re not alone, okay?” I asked my tone soft as I walked closer to her and crouched down in front of her.

“Yeah, see you later Niall.” She smiled slightly. I gave her knee a squeeze before I stood up and walked toward the door.

“And call if you need anything babe, see you soon.”

***

“And call if you need anything babe, see you soon.” Niall said to me as he left the hospital room. ‘babe.’

He just called me babe.

I sighed and looked over at my poppy. Maybe this was for the better. He wouldn’t suffer anymore… everything would be okay again.

“I love you poppy.” I smiled kissing his hand.

***

I sighed as the doctors and nurses started coming in. I knew it was time… the boys still weren’t here, I didn’t care though. My main thought was on my Poppy. “Kaylee, we’re going to unplug the machine in a few minutes. After that it will take maybe an hour or two for everything to run out and then… well he’ll be gone.” Sivy said holding my shoulders. I nodded and she pulled me into a hug rubbing my back.

“I don’t want him to go Sivy.” I cried into the crook of her neck.

“It’s going to be okay. He was pronounced brain dead… he’s been suffering babe, he needs to go.” She said calmly trying to calm me. I didn’t say anything, I just held her tighter. I didn’t want to let go in fear I’d faint.

Harry’s P.O.V.

We all followed after Niall out of the lift and down a white clean hallway. He was all shaky and jumpy the entire time, constantly pulling at his hair and taking deep breaths.

“Niall mate, calm down it’s okay.” I said slinging my arm around his shoulder.

“That’s what you say now Harry, wait till you see her.” He spoke quietly, just above a whisper.

I suddenly felt nervous. I hadn’t really taken the time to think about Kaylee and how she was dealing with all this.

Niall had just run in saying they were going to unplug him and that we should be there for her, so of course we all agreed; we loved Kaylee.

“Here.” Niall mumbled pushing the door open. As soon as the door opened my eyes were met with a ton of nurses and a few doctors. I searched the room for Kaylee and saw her gripping onto a younger looking nurse, her face buried in the woman’s shoulder.

“Kaylee?” Niall said softly walking up to her. She looked up and her eyes were red a puffy, her mascara was smudged all underneath and all down her cheeks. Her lips were all red a swollen and her eyes were grey and lifeless… she looked a wreck, Niall was right.

She looked over at me and the rest of the boys, her eyes flickering over each of our faces. Her lip began to quiver and I knew what was coming; tears.

I hurried over to her wrapping my arms around her as her cheek rested against my chest. Her arms tightened around me as I felt her uneasy breaths and quiet sobs.

“Shh, it’s okay love… we’re here for you.” I mumbled kissing the top of her head. I rested my chin a top her head, my height towering over hers.

“N-no it’s not H-harry. I’m losing the last person that cared about me…” She cried fisting my t-shirt.

“That’s not true! You have five wonderful lads that care very much for you.” I smiled stepping back at her. “That truly do care for you.” I smiled slightly at her and saw the corners of her mouth turn up a tad bit.

“I just… I don’t know… I’m not ready yet.” She whispered looking down at the ground.

I pulled her back into a hug trying to comfort her as best as possible. I looked at the other boys, Louis and Zayn were quietly talking. Zayn was looking over at her Poppy, his eyes were unreadable. Zayn was always one to get a bit uncomfortable with this type of thing. Especially after his grandpa died a few years back.

Niall on the other hand was sitting on a chair in the corner, his face buried in his hands.

“Kaylee…. We’re going to do it now.” The nurse that had been hugging her said. Kaylee pulled back from me and shook her head. “Kaylee we have to…” The lady sighed looking over at the doctor standing next to the outlet strip that held the plugs to all the machines.

His eyes looked up and over at Kaylee, sympathy flooding through them. He nodded slightly and that’s when she completely lost it. She ran over to him screaming and crying, everyone just standing there watching.

“He was her last family member… well besides her mum.” The lady said coming over to me. “Her mum hasn’t visited once and from what Kaylee has told me her mum barely talks to her. I met her mum once though. Cold lady let me tell you. She wanted nothing to do with anyone… not even Kaylee. The kid grew up alone… the only thing she ever looked forward to was visiting here.” The lady, Sivy I learned from her name tag, shrugged letting out a sigh.

“We’ll take care of her.” I smiled looking over at Sivy.

“You better.” She laughed slightly before walking off toward Kaylee and the doctor.

“You can’t do that! It’s, its murder or something! He’s still alive; he’s going to wake up!” Kaylee shouted at the doctor, tears running down her face. He just stood there biting his lip, his finger on the button of the power strip. “P-please…” She pleaded her eyes drowned in tears.

“I’m sorry Kaylee… we have to.” He huffed as Sivy grabbed Kaylee from behind picking her up.

“Put me down!” Kaylee cried moving around, Sivy clearly struggling.

Niall got up and walked over to Kaylee, his footsteps heavy before taking her from Sivy and placing her on the ground. He wrapped his arms around her from behind, pinning her arms to her sides as they stood at the end of her grandfather’s bed.

She cried and cried as she tried harder and harder to get out of Nialls grip. Niall seemed to be struggling with the fact he was holding Kaylee in the state she was. She was yelling at him and kicking him but he was doing the right thing… and he knew it, no matter how hard it was for him to see her like this.

The doctor looked over at Kaylee as she slumped over in Niall’s arms. Her lips were pouted as she watched the doctor intently. “3…2…1…” He whispered before pushing the button, the machines shutting down.

“No…” Kaylee whimpered. She looked over at her poppy, no change, the only sound that could be heard were Kaylee’s light sniffles and breathing.

“We will be back later….” The doctor says as he walks out everyone else following behind.

“Kaylee you alright?” Liam asks walking over to her. She shakes her head and the lip quiver appears again.

“Aw Kayls, don’t cry… he’s not gone yet.” Zayn speaks up walking over and taking her from Niall.

“Group hug!” Louis pipes up and we all envelope Kaylee into a huge hug. I chuckled and after a bit everyone started pulling away.

“No… no… not yet.” Kaylee said faintly pulling us all back in. I looked over at Louis as he gave me a crooked type smile.

Now the only thing left to do was wait.
