Luke's P.O.V.
"A-a c-coma?" I asked, my knees feeling weak and my eyes glassing over with tears. My little baby girl in... a coma?
"I'm afraid so, Mr. Hemmings..." the doctor said. "We're doing all that we can for her, but this is just gonna take time..."
'But we don't have time! Our tour starts in a week and-'
"Whas coma?" a small voice said from behind the doctor. Alexandria sat in Calum's arms looking around puzzledly at us. Calum looked wide-eyed at me, then at Star, and back at me, expecting me to say something
"Um, it's... Uh"
"Star is just taking a really long nap." Michael jumped in
"Oh, otay..." Alex said quietly. She seemed a little sad, but she didn't seem to fully grasp the seriousness of the situation.
After a few moments of silence, the doctor softly said, "We'll give you some time..." as he and the nurse turned and left the room.
The tears that had been brimming in my eyes spillednout and I sobbed quietly. Ashton came over and wrappednhis arms supportively around me.
"This is all my fault!" I said, "I should have stayed out there wit-
" No no no..." Ashton cut me off, "You can't blame yourself for this. You couldn't have stopped that huge wave even if you had been there the entire time."
I heard some sniffles from around the room. When I looked up, I saw most of the other boys were tearing up and watching Star.
"Where's Alex?" I asked.
"Calum took her down to the gift shop." Zayn spoke up from one corner of the room .
I slowly walked over to Stalin's side and crouched down. I took Starlin's hand in mine and kissed it softly. I stared at her small, pale face.
Come back to me please??
*****************
Alex's P.O.V.
I skipped around the little room Calum brought me to. It had lots of stuffed animals and balloons. There were even these funny little folded papers with pictures and words on them.
"Wha dat say?" I asked, pointing at one of the folded papers.
"Um, it says... Get Well Soon..." Calum replied.
"Oh..." I said, staring at the words. How does he understand them? They just look like weird drawings to me.... Oh, well! I continued skipping around the room.
"Do you want to get a balloon for Star?" Calum said. I nodded, smiling. He took my hand and we walked over to where the balloons were. I grabbed the strings that were dangling from the balloons and pulled, looking at each balloon and letting it go.
Finally, I found a pink one I liked and said, "Dis one!" Calum grabbed the string and pulled the balloon.
"Um probably not this one, Alex." Calum said, "This is for when someone has a baby."
"Oh, otay..." I pointed to a yellow balloon with a smiley face. "Dat one."
"Looks good!" he said, pulling the balloon down so I could carry it. He paid for it, and we walked out of the little "shop" or at least that's what Calum said it was
"Let me text Louis to see if they're ready for us to go back up, okay?" Calum said, sitting on a bench. I jumped onto the bench and sat, swinging my legs as Calum tapped his phone

"Is Star gonna be otay?" I asked.
"I.... I don't really know." Calum replied patting my leg. "But she has really good doctors and they are doing everything they can to make her better."
"O-Otay..." I sniffle.
"Aw, come here, baby." Calum said pulling me close to him. I hugged him.
Just then, his phone made a ding noise. "You wanna go upstairs?" Calum asks. I nod. We get up and start to walk upstairs. I hold Calum's hand with one hand and hold the balloon string with the other.
I just want Star to get better.

1 Week Later
*****************
Ashton's P.O.V.
The past week has been filled with reluctant packing, hospital visits, tears, and planning for tour. Now all of us were walking slowly through that tunnel that would led us to the plane we were taking to our first tour destination. We piled into the plane and found our seats. Luke and I sat next to each other about halfway back on the plane. I sat at the window seat. We just sat there in silence.
When the plane got to the runway and began to pick up speed, I couldn't help but think of Star. She's still in the hospital and, in a few hours, we'll be halfway across the world. We hated to leave her, but we had to go and there was no one we could leave with her.
I heard Alex screaming and crying from the seat behind us. "I! WANT! STAR!" she yelled through tears. Her eyes widened as the plane sped up. She grabbed Niall's arm and held on for dear life, still crying.
I felt the plane lift off the runway as it went into a steep incline as we climbed higher into the sky. The buildings of my home country grew smaller and smaller, reduced to the size of ants. Unrecognizable from this high.
When I looked over at Luke, I could tell he was thinking about Star. I patted his shoulder reassuringly before pulling out my phone and some headphones and turning on music. I put my headphones in, laid my head back and closed my eyes.
*****************
Niall's P.O.V.
3 months into our tour, we're in Europe rehearsing for tonight's show. Star's condition still hasn't improved or changed more than a twitch or mumble. Everyone has coped, each in their own way. Luke and Alex were hit the hardest by Stars sickness and absence. Luke has been able to get somewhat used to it, though he still frowns and gets upset at any mention of the word "star". Alex has always had Star as her playmate, and with her gone and us being on tour, she has been pretty lonely Alex has found comfort in her imaginary friend, which she unsurprisingly named Starlin. She's been with us to every show, and on the outside she seems okay, but occasionally she'll have a breakdown about Star.
Alex ran around the stage as we rehearsed the show we would be doing in a matter of a couple hours. The stage was huge and she was running to her hearts content.
"You and me gotta whole lotta history!" the boys and
"Baby don't you know? Baby don't you know? We can live foreve-er!" we finished our song, History.
"I COME BARING PIZZA!!" one of pur crew members said as he walked onstage, carrying a considerably large stack of pizza boxes. Alex ran over and grabbed my hand, and everyone crowded around the pizza boxes.
Everyone sat down on the stage floor and ate their pizza, Alex right at my side.
"Are you singin for you fans again tonight?" she asked me.
"Yep! We are!" I grinned at her.
"You guys probably need to go get ready," another crew member says, "Fans will be getting here soon!"
We gathered our stuff and the pizza boxes and headed backstage. One of our stylists gestured for me to come sit in the chair before her. I sat down and she began to comb and style my hair. Alex jumped up in the chair next to me and used the counter next to it to spin her around.
"Weeeeeee!!" she said as she spun quickly. I grinned at her.
"Looks like someone's having fun!" a shirtless Liam said as he walked over to Alex.
"Put you shirt on!!" Alex exclaimed, slapping Liam's arm.
"Okay! Okay!" Liam said and held his hands up defensively. He chuckled and walked off.
*****************
"All right, guys, get in!" Michael says and we all crowd around. We've started a... thing this tour.
"All right, guys, this is gonna be the best show yet."
"Let's make it awesome."
"Sing your hearts out."
Each person said something and put their fist in the middle of the circle.
"Dance like dis!" Alex exclaimed and began dancing and spinning. We laughed.
"Do it... do it for Star." Luke said and we all smiled weakly.
"3... 2... 1... Let's go!!" we said in unison and lined up to go onstage(except for Alex who went to find something to entertain her for the remainder of the show).
As I waited for us to run on stage, I heard Alex yelling something from far off, coming closer.
"STAR'S AWAKE!!!" she yelled, running around the corner. "SHE'S AWAKE!! SHE'S AWAKE!!!"
Then, it was time for us to go onstage.
"Wait-" Luke said and several people began to push us to the platforms that would raise us up to the stage. "No! Wait!"
Several of our security guards forced us onto the platforms. The platform with Luke on it shot up as soon as they could get it up there. The rest of us went up slower, but quick enough to raise us off the platform when we reached the stage.
We all froze.
The fans went wild.
