Harry was sitting next to Ariana's hospital bed. The small woman, who looked tinier than ever, hadn't said a word since they were in the car.

Harry didn't understand what happened. He kept getting flashbacks from the bang, the panic in everyone's eyes and Ariana's desperate tries to get out of the car and understand what was going on.

He wanted to cry, he wanted to scream and make a scene and be so angry because how could anyone do something like this.

But he didn't. He had to be strong for Ariana, he had to be there for her.

But right now Ariana was silent. She had been staring at the white wall for the last 8 hours. She didn't react to people. She didn't answer questions, she didn't eat or drink, she didn't move or cry and she didn't sleep.

Harry was so worried. Right now Malcom, Joan, Brian and him were sitting in the room. The rest was resting in an hotel after a check up from the doctors.

But Harry didn't want to leave and so he stayed with Ariana and the three others.

Next to him was Joan. Joan wasn't at the concert but got on a plane as quickly as she could to be with her daughter. When she arrived Harry had fallen into her arms, crying and begging her to fix all the pain.

Joan had tried to comfort him but after seeing her daughter she also broke down and it ended up in everyone crying.

Now the room was silent.

Harry knew. Ariana had to drink and so he softly whispered: "Ariana, here is some water, let's have a little sip alright?"

And to everyone's happiness Ariana moved. She softly looked at Harry and said: "Yes." Her voice was shaky but she drank and then also wanted to hold her moms hand first and then Malcoms hand.

For the first time since the show there were some smiles on the faces of the ones in the room.

After Ariana drank her water she also wanted to eat a little bit.

When she finished she all of the sudden seemed to realise what happened last night and she started crying. Not loud cries but she was sobbing. Malcom pulled her into a hug and let her cry while he also had tears running down his cheeks.

The day was emotional filled with crying and the question why something like this would happen.

Harry felt very sad and the doctors in the hospital advised a therapist to him, Ariana, Brian and Scott.

Recovering from something so traumatic was very intens and hard but Harry wanted to feel good for Ariana and the others.

They visited therapists, went on calming walks, found out drawing helped and made an entire museum worth of drawings and cried together.

And after a week they were laughing again. Not being happy, but they were able to laugh when a doctor made a little joke.

Ariana was planning a benefit concert to raise money for all the victims and that was something that kept everyone busy.
