Hey guys! Sorry for taking so long! I've had four exams and projects that have had to be in last week, so here it is!
What will happen to Riley? Will she die? :O Read to find out! ;)
Zayn's POV:
It's been a week already and she hasn't woken up. I'm starting to get really worried. I mean, what if she doesn't wake up? What will I tell Mum?
Mum has been more worried about Riley lately, which is a good thing. I think.
''Charity, what the hell are you doing?!'' makes me jump. I look up and see Charity hugging Liam. Jackie's glaring at her. Ooh, if only looks could kill. She would be dead by now. Which would be a relief.
''Charity, get off Jackie's boyfriend.'' I mutter. She sighs and lets go of Liam. Then she comes over to me.
''I'm going upstairs.'' I mumble, standing up. She pouts.
''Aww!''
I stare at her. What does she mean? I don't like her.
''Can we go for a walk?'' she asks me. What the hell?
''You can, I want to wait here.'' I tell her.
''Wait for what?'' she asks me. I shrug.
''The pizza... We ordered it half an hour ago.'' I lie.
''We ordered pizza?!'' Oh damn you Nialler! Way to ruin the situation!
''Yes. A cheese one.'' I tell him, with my teeth gritted.
''Oh yeah! It'll be cold by the time it gets here!'' Louis cries. Thank the Lord for Louis Tomlinson.
Phew. Charity nods, unconvincingly.
She gets up and go upstairs and I sigh.
Then my phone rings.
I pick up and stand up, going upstairs away from the noise to talk to my Mum.
''How's Riley?''
''She's better. I think. Not any worse, anyway.''
''Aw, maybe I should come back.'' she mumbles.
''Why? You have to wait for the funeral, don't you?''
''Oh it's been delayed. Because it's raining a lot here you see.''
''Oh. Right.''
''I might come back...''
''No, it's fine Mum. Riley will be fine.'' I tell her determinedly.
''Yes, she will.''
Awkward silence.
''I hope she'll be Okay.''
''She will!'' I cry, getting exasperated quickly.
''Zayn! Don't speak to me like that!'' she snaps.
''Sorry! Everyone's worrying and stuff and I'm just sure she'll be Okay.''
''I understand.'' she answers me.
I hear shouts and screams from downstairs. I panic, hoping there isn't any more fires.
''Zayn? What's that?'' Mum asks me.
''I dunno. Nothing.'' I reply, shutting the door.
''How's the decorating coming along?''
''It's good. Another week or two I think.'' I mumble, listening to the hubbub below.
''Really? That's great news!''
''Yeah. Suppose.''
I don't know how long the house will be. The decorator hasn't told me yet.
''Anything wrong, Zayn?''
''No, nothing. I've gotta go.'' I tell her, as Charity comes in.
''Bye Zayn!'' she calls as I throw my phone onto my bed.
''Come downstairs. There's someone there.'' she grins at me and I run down the stairs.
I get to the end and hang onto the banister. I swing round and look towards the door.
My jaw falls to the floor and my breath catches in my throat. Then I smile and run towards the girl with black hair standing by the door.
She smiles at me and I slam myself against her and hug her really tight.
''Riley. Riley! I'm so happy you're Okay!'' I whisper in her ear. She hugs me back.
''I'm happy to be back.'' she laughs.
Everyone smiles to hear her laugh again.
''You're Okay!'' Jen squeals, hugging her around her waist.
''I am! Didn't think I would be though.'' she admits.
''Of course you would've been!'' Liam yells.
''Shut up!'' she cries, walking into the living room. Still the same, Riley.
''Michelle is coming round later.'' Charity tells us, coming in.
Who's Michelle?
''Okay. I can't believe Mum had to ask your mum if we could stay here. Well, it isn't her fault.'' Riley shrugs. I hug her around her waist, wanting to make sure she's still here, not a hallucination.
''Of course. Your mum didn't know how well we got on with each other.'' Charity sneers.
''Well, you say? Oh I think we get on like a house on fire.'' Riley snaps. What the - ?
''What are you two talking about?'' Louis asks, confused.
''Nothing.''
''We're not friends.'' Charity tells him.
''Not friends?! More like life-long enemies!'' Riley exclaims.
''Much better!'' Charity grins.
''Oh how I want to wipe that smirk of your ugly face.'' Riley mutters.
Charity stands up and leaves the room, slamming the door after her.
''Riley? Care to explain?'' I ask her.
''Not really,'' she shrugs. A surge of hurt sweeps through me, but I shake it away. ''Okay, fine. Charity and I have been enemies for ages. Kinda like me and Georgina. But they're enemies too. So yeah.''
''Oh right. Well, be polite, please Riley.'' I hug her again.
''Will you stop hugging me? Please? It hurts my ribs!''
Oops. I forgot about that.
''Hey, Riley, what was it like?'' Holly asks.
''What?''
''The being asleep bit.''
''Oh. Well, it was like being asleep. Where you don't know you're asleep, but you are.'' she replies.
''Whoa. I don't wanna be in a coma.'' Erin shudders.
''Well, you were lucky. At least Zayn helped you out.'' she says. I stop breathing. It wasn't my fault she got trapped! Well, I don't know...
''Zayn, I was joking.'' she winks at me.
''Were you?''
''Yes! I know it was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten angry.'' she shrugs.
''No, well, you had a reason,'' I hug her. ''Mum shouldn't be lying to you.''
''It can't be helped now, can it?''
''Not really.''
Then Erin, Nikki, Rizo and Holly jump on us.
''You're Okay! We're so happy and hyper!'' they scream. I laugh.
Then everyone else jumps on us and it ends up in a group hug.
''Dudes, what the hell?'' a voice asks from the door. Riley looks up and squeals.
''Michelle!'' she cries, leaping up and hugging the girl. They hug quickly.
''Who's this?'' Louis asks.
''This is my friend, Michelle. She was my best friend in kindergarten. And then she moved away. She comes over at weekends and stuff.'' Riley explains.
''Oh. Pleased to meet you Michelle.'' I nod at her.
''Same to you.''
''I'm Liam, this is Louis, Harry, Niall and Zayn.''
''Nice.''
''Oh, the doctor said that he wants to talk to my guardian. So, yeah, that's you Zayn. But you're my brother, not guardian.''
''What about?'' I panic.
''I dunno. Nothing bad he said.''
''Oh phew.'' I let out a sigh of relief.
''Shall we go then?'' she asks me.
''Yeah, c'mon. Lets all go.'' we all stand up and tell Mar that we're leaving. We walk to the hospital talking and chatting happily. I walk with my arm around Riley's shoulders. I'm just so happy that she's alright. I'm so thankful.
I remember her motionless body and it sends a shiver through me.
I don't ever want to see her like that again.
We enter the hospital and we get told to wait. So we all sit down and wait for the doctor.
''Hello again!'' Doc says.
''Hello.''
''Are you doing well, Riley?''
''Yeah, I'm fine now.'' she nods, smiling at me.
''That's very good. If you get dizzy or start coughing uncontrollably, then you should come back to the hospital and tell us.
''I will.'' she agrees.
''What was it that you wanted to tell me?'' I ask him.
''Oh, that I think a holiday, or a week away, in a sunny place would do her good. It would do her lots of good.''
''Well, we can arrange that.'' I tell him.
''Good. I recommend Greece or Italy. Whichever.'' the doctor shrugs.
''We could go to both.'' I smile at Riley.
''That would be awesome!'' she cries, hugging my arm.
''It would. You'd better call your mum.'' Doc says.
''Yeah, but weren't we going on tour?'' Harry asks. Oh yeah.
''We could go on tour, while we're having a holiday.'' Louis tells me.
''Yes. We, us boys, would be on tour, performing, while the girls and Riley are on holiday. But it depends if your parents let you come.'' I tell the girls.
They all make sad faces.
''My mum will. Hopefully.'' Nikki says, thinking.
''I'm not sure about mine.'' Erin says.
''Nor me.'' Rizo exclaims.
''I dunno either.'' says Jackie.
''I'll convince them all!'' Riley shouts out.
''Riley! Don't shout!'' I tell her off.
She doesn't pay any attention though and I just roll my eyes at her.
''Yes, Riley!''
''Yay! Love you Riley!''
''Thank you Riley!'' they all start cheering and shouting.
Riley and I burst out laughing.
''I'll try! If I don't, then don't blame me! I'll do my best though! A holiday without friends won't be the same, will it?'' she asks me.
I shake my head, ''No, it won't be.'' I agree with her.
''Is that all?'' I ask the doctor.
''Yep. Be careful, Riley. Try not to fall over or hit your head.''
Riley nodded, ''I'll try.'' she grins.
''I'll make sure she doesn't.'' I tell the doctor, leading her out of the hospital.
We walk back to the house slowly.
''Call Mum,'' Riley tells me. ''I'll be over here.''
I nod and take out my phone. I call Mum.
''Mum, Riley's awake. She's Okay!'' I cry, smiling. It still hasn't sunk in that she's alright.
''Oh thank God!'' Mum gives a big sigh of relief.
''Yeah. And the doctor said that a holiday would do her good. So we thought we'd go to Greece or Italy,'' I tell her the doctor's idea and my idea about the boys and I performing while the girls are on holiday.
''Yes, that's a very good idea Zayn.'' she tells me.
''You let us then, yeah?''
''Yep. I'll book a flight for you and Riley.''
''Okay, thanks Mum.''
''I've gotta go, bye Zayn!''
''Oh, bye Mum.'' I say, too late. She's already hung up. And she didn't want to talk with Riley.
''Mum lets us. Riley, now it's your job to convince their parents.'' I wink at her.
''No job is too big for Riley... Malik! Oh wow, that sounds funny!'' she starts giggling. ''And talking, and eating and drinking, that's different too. I haven't been doing them things for over a week now.'' she explains to us.
''Shall we go to their houses, now? To convince them?'' I ask her.
''Yep! Better get started!'' she grins, leading the way with Nikki, Erin and Michelle. I shake my head at her. At least she's better. I'm looking forward to the tour with my sister.
It's gonna be fun with her around.

YAY! She's alive!!!!!!!! Whooooooooooo! :D Hahaha! I'm sorry I'm taking ages in uploading. But I have an excuse! It's because Lana's away and we had to get bombed with One Shot requests, right now. How annoying is that?! So I've finished them and while I was at school, supposed to be doing homework on my computer, (;D Hey, I'm not the only one that does that!!) I finished this chapter!
A question, who in this story, doesn't want to go on tour/holiday with One Direction?
Everyone wants to go, right? Thought so!!
And we've got a new character! Michelle, who is @misabida125. You owe mee!!! ;) Joking hehe :)
Go fan my Wattpad's family and my joint account: @MusicNinjas1D.
And my joint account with Jen: @DirectionersForever.
And I'm really sorry about the characters. About the fact that you guys don't come in much lately.
Sorry! You will be in it more though! I promise!
Do you guys think their parents will let them go on tour? Yes? No?

All that's left now, is...
Vote, Comment and Fan, pleease! It makes me SUPER happy when I see comments and votes. And when I see that I get more fans every day! It's so awesome! :D
Oh, and if any of you see that someone else has copied my idea and/or story, word for word, then please tell me. Because a girl on here has already had her stories copied word for word and I don't want that to happen to me. On Wattpad or another website. Please tell me. I'm just warning everyone. Okay, so please tell me! I love my stories, and I work hard on them every day and it would suck to have someone copy them, when I've worked so hard for you guys to enjoy them.
Again; Please tell me! Thank you! :D
