Zoe's POV:
I thought she wouldn't make it. I stayed outside theatre all night. Her dad had come too, it was her 16th birthday after all. Max was sat with me, I knew I couldn't leave her.
"She's awake" the doctor announced coming out to us all. Her dad rushed in to see her whilst I stayed outside with Max.
"She's going to be fine Zo" Max said to me.
"I know. She's a really nice girl, would have been terrible if she hadn't survived it" I said, a tear rolling down my cheek.
"Come here" Max said pulling me into him.
"I don't know what I would of done without you tonight, you were the only reason I had to get out of there alive, I couldn't imagine being without you for even a second" I told him looking up to him.
"I don't know what I would have done without you Zo" he told me and I smiled slightly.
"I love you" I said kissing him.
"I love you" he confirmed back. Jess' dad came out just after.
"She wants to see you" her dad, Gerry, told us. We got up and walked in smiling.
"How you feeling" I asked her.
"A lot better after seeing Max" she joked and I smirked.
"He has that effect on me as well" I told her and she laughed slightly. Max put his arms around my waist resting his head on my shoulder; he must have been shattered, we have been here all night.
"I'm surprised you stayed" she told us with all honestly.
"I had to wait to see what would happen to you, after all if it wasn't for the crash this idiot never would have got to go on scene at a real accident" I joked as I could feel Max falling asleep on my shoulder.
"Go home, here take my keys so you don't have Robyn and Lofty annoy you" I told him giving him my keys. He took them kissing me again before driving back to mine. I had given him my car keys as well because I knew I could get anyone to drop me home.
"How are you? You don't look to great" Jess asked after Max had left.
"Thanks for that but that's what happens when you stay up all night" I said causing her to smirk.
"I hope you and Max enjoyed yourself" she said causing me to catch on to what she was saying.
"Not like that. The only bit of sleep I had was out on those chairs whilst we were waiting for you to wake up but I have to admit Max's chest has always been comfortable" I said and she laughed.
"I bet that's not the only thing that's comfortable on his body" she said winking.
"You're worse than Max" I joked.
"Zoe will we stay in contact when I get discharged" Jess asked me.
"Can't think I'm just going to ditch someone that I almost died for do you" I joked and she smiled.
"Why don't you go home, I have my dad and you look like you need the sleep" she told me and I smiled slightly.
"Alright but I will come back to see you when my shift starts" I told her and she nodded before I hugged her. I left the ward and went back down to the ED knowing Cal's shift was finishing.
"Cal" I said seeing him come out of the staff room.
"Zoe, you alright?" he asked and I nodded.
"Yeah fine can you give us a lift back to mine, Max went home about an hour ago and gave him the car" I told him and he smirked.
"Didn't think you let anyone touch your car let alone drive it" he joked as I swatted his chest.
"Come on lets go" he said laughing. I followed him out into the car park where we got stopped by Robyn and Lofty.
"Are you alright?" Lofty asked.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks" I answered putting on a smile.
"Where's Max?" Robyn asked. They had just came in for their shift because they were working a double shift.
"Went back mine about an hour ago, was shattered" I told her and she nodded.
"We need to go, I've got a date to get ready for" Cal said and I burst out laughing before following him into his car.
"God I hope Max is awake, he's still got my keys" I sighed remembering I wouldn't be able to get in.
"I could always break the door down?" Cal joked and I smirked.
"Don't even think about it" I said. The rest of the journey was just us catching up. We got to mine and I rang Max hopping he was awake.
"Mm" he mumbled groggily into the phone.
"Is the door unlocked?" I asked him.
"No, I'll chuck them out the window, too tired to walk downstairs" he said causing me to laugh.
"Okay we're outside" I told him hanging up. A few seconds later the keys came flying out of the window and me and Cal burst into laughter.
"Only Max would do something like that" he said and I smirked.
"You probably would as well" I joked. He put his hands over his heart feigning hurt.
"What me, I'm offended" he said innocently.
"Go on, fuck off to your little date" I said picking up the keys.
"Tell Max I pulled and would have had more than him tonight" he joked and I rolled my eyes.
"You don't know what's going to happen when I walk through that door" I said and he smirked.
"You're probably just going to collapse into bed next to him and go to sleep, you look like shit" he laughed causing me to as well.
"That's probably going to happen actually but there's always later" I told him and he rolled his eyes. He hugged me before getting into his car and driving off. I walked into my house and straight to my bedroom, taking my dress off before climbing into bed, putting my head on Max's chest and falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
