Phil and Jack jumped in the car and began to follow him. Will and Dan and Honey and Gina weren't far behind. They could see his car swerving all over the road and guessed he was under the influence of alcohol. Phil could see a tight corner up ahead and prayed Craig would slow down. He didn't and went right through a fence and into a field. Phil's heart stood still. He leapt out of the car and down to the field. Craig lay on the seat unconscious. Phil prised open the boot and lifted Sam up to the light off the other cars. She wasn't moving and the blood was pouring out of the wound in her stomach. Her cheeks were pale and it was obvious she had been crying. The ambulance came racing up and the paramedics leapt into action.
'Right she's not breathing can we shock her' said one of the paramedics
Once they got her breathing again they put her in the ambulance and Phil climbed in beside them. They got to the hospital and Phil was only allowed to go to a certain point. He sat down on the chair and put his head in his hands. It was twenty past three in the morning. Ten minutes later Abi came rushing in followed by Gina.
'How is she' Abi asked nervously
'I don't know they haven't come out yet'
Abi sat down next to him and Gina went to get everyone a coffee.
'You love her don't you?' Abi questioned
Phil nodded not trusting himself to speak as the tears welled up. Finally at five o'clock a doctor came out.
'Sorry it's taken so long for someone to come and speak to you' he said apologetically
'That's ok how is she' Phil asked nervously
'Well she's critical but stable, she lost a lot of blood but we'll know more in the next twenty four hours'
'Can I see her'
'Yes go ahead'
Phil opened the door. Abi was asleep in the relative's room and he chose not to disturb her. Inside the ward Sam lay tiny hooked up to a lot of monitors. Phil sat down beside her and held her hand. It was ice cold. He lay his head down on the bed beside her and closed his eyes.
'Phil, Phil' Gina prodded him
'What?' he replied sleepily
'Here I've brought you a coffee'
Phil opened his eyes and stretched.
'You should go home and get changed' Gina said gently
'Why what time is it'
'9.30'
'No I can't leave Sam'
'Well Abi's here and it'll give you a break'
Phil gave up and headed home. His head ached and he took two tablets and made a strong coffee. After his shower he phoned the hospital for an update only to be told she was just the same then he collapsed on his bed from sheer exhaustion. Phil heard his phone ring and wondered how long he had been asleep for.
'Hello'
'Phil it's Jack, I think you should come back down the hospital'
