Chapter 5:

Liv felt like she couldn't breathe as she tried to rush to Holden. "Miss, please stay back." said an officer, as he gently grabbed her arm.

She turned to face him. "You don't understand, I have to see him!" Liv protested. "I have to see if he's okay!" she added, beginning to panic. What if he's not okay? She thought. She looked over and saw the paramedics putting him in the ambulance. The cop talking to the lady by the car overheard her protests. He approached Liv and the other cop.

"Do you know this boy?" he asked, motioning to the ambulance that was now driving away.

"Yes!" Liv cried. "He's my…" she stopped herself before she said 'boyfriend'. Sure, they were dating, but they weren't exactly official. How official can you be if you haven't even kissed yet? "Prom date." Liv finished at last. She was about to lose it. Her heart was pounding and she couldn't think straight. No matter how hard she tried to stop them, the tears started coming, ruining her makeup that she had spent so long on earlier that night.

"What happened? Is he gonna be okay?" she asked. She was a mess by now.

"Miss, I'm gonna need you to calm down." one of the cops said.

"Calm down?! How can you expect me to-"

She was cut off by the woman she spotted earlier. "I'm sorry, did you say that boy is your date?" Liv looked at the woman to see the panic in her eyes.

"Yes." Liv choked out.

"I'm so sorry." the woman said, beginning to cry. "He was crossing the street, I didn't see him or the stop sign. I tried to…" the woman continued to go on and apologize some more, but Liv wasn't listening anymore. She couldn't. Her mind was racing. She couldn't hear or focus on anything.

"Excuse me." she said, trying her best to sound calm. She walked away from the crowd. She tried to run back to the school to get Maddie, but she could hardly stand. She leaned against a tree and couldn't stop the sobs that came out. Her phone vibrated, she looked at the name on the screen.

"Maddie!" she cried, answering it.

"Liv? What's taking so long? Wait, are you crying? Liv, what happened?" Maddie asked, sounding more and more worried with each question.

"Maddie, it's Holden. He-" she was cut off by another sob. "Something's happened. I need you." she got out through the tears.

"Where are you?" asked Maddie.

"I'm outside." Liv answered. "On the street where we parked." Another sob. "Hurry." she added.

"I'm coming." said Maddie, then she hung up.

"Liv!" Liv heard her twin call out to her. She turned to see Maddie and Diggie running towards her. "Liv, what happened?" Maddie asked, as she hugged her sister.

"When he was getting our tickets," Liv started before another sob shook her body. "He was crossing the street," Sob "There was a woman driving." she cried into her sister's shoulder as Maddie rubbed her back, attempting to comfort her. "She didn't see him and ran the stop sign." she finished.

"Oh my gosh, is he okay?" asked Maddie, shocked.

"I don't know!" cried Liv.

One of the two officers from before approached. Maddie was still trying to calm Liv down, so he turned to Diggie and asked, "Are you with these girls?" he asked. Diggie nodded. "So you know that boy too?" Another nod. "These were on the road. We assume they fell out of his hands after he was hit." he said handing Diggie a set of keys and a pair of prom tickets.

"Thank you." Diggie said, taking the items. The cop walked off and Diggie walked over to the twins. "Liv, do you want to go to the hospital to see if he's okay? I can drive you." Diggie offered. Liv nodded, not capable of forming words at the moment.

"That's a good idea." said Maddie. "Come on, let's go." she said to Liv, guiding her to the car with her arm around her shoulders.

Liv didn't know how much time had passed in the hospital waiting room. It could've been hours, maybe it was just a few minutes. But to Liv, it felt like an eternity. She looked at Maddie and Diggie, who were quietly talking on the couch. When Diggie had offered to take Liv here, they didn't even stop home to change or anything. So here they were, the three of them waiting in a hospital in their prom clothes.

A nurse came out of a room. Liv looked at her expectantly. "He's gonna be just fine." The nurse said at last. Liv let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. "You can see him now if you like." she said. Liv jumped up. "He was unconscious for quite a while, so unless he just fell asleep, he should be awake." she explained. "Although, it's probably best if just one of you went to see him right now." she added.

Liv looked back at Diggie and Maddie. "I guess I'll be right back." she said. Maddie nodded while Diggie smiled. The nurse let Liv into the room.

There he was, in the hospital bed. He had a big bandage on the left side of his head, and his left arm was in a sling. He was watching TV so he didn't hear her enter at first.

"Holden?" she said, getting his attention.

He turned. "Liv…" He started. But he didn't get a chance to finish because Liv rushed to the hospital bed and hugged him tightly. He winced in pain.

Liv gasped and pulled away. "Sorry!" she exclaimed, "I should've known better than to to that, with you being hurt and all…" she started to ramble on.

Holden cut her off. "Liv, it's fine." he said smiling. He looked into her eyes. "Liv, you're crying." he said, sitting up a bit straighter. "Come here." he said, motioning with his right arm. So she hugged him again. This time gentler.

"Holden, you scared me to death!" she said quietly into his shoulder.

"Aw, come on, it's not that big a deal." he said jokingly.

Liv pulled away. "Holden." she said, punching him in his good arm. "You got hit by a car! I'd call it a big deal!"

"Ow. Yeah, I got hit by a car, and here you are punching me."

Liv giggled. "Well, I thought if that one wasn't in a sling, it's fine." she defended herself, smiling. "But in all seriousness, how bad is it?" she asked, pulling over one of the chairs.

"Well, the bad ones are on my left side, because that's the side I hit the road with. I have a dislocated shoulder. Hence, the sling. Uh, a couple of cracked ribs, a heck of a bruise on my right side from making contact with the car."

"What about this?" asked Liv, pointing to his forehead.

"Oh, right. Almost forgot. I got quite the gash in my head from the pavement, so they gave me stitches." he said, as if it was no big deal at all.

Liv winced sympathetically. "Oh, Holden. I'm so sorry." she said.

"Yeah. Other than that, I just have minor scrapes and bruises." It was quiet for a minute, then Holden said, "Liv, I'm sorry. I can't believe you had to leave your senior prom for this."

"Holden, don't." said Liv. "This wasn't your fault. Besides, it's not like I could've stayed. My date got hit by a car." she said, smiling slightly and holding his hand. "Or tickets." she added, snickering.

Holden laughed. "Wow."

"I'm kidding." said Liv. "Even if I did have the tickets, I would've come anyway." she laughed.

"Aw, I'm touched." Holden said sarcastically.

They sat there for a second, playing with each other's hands. Then Liv asked, "So, when can you go home?"

"Well, they're gonna have to keep me overnight. Run some tests and whatnot, to make sure I don't have any brain damage or anything." he explained, motioning to the bandage on his head.

Liv nodded. She looked at the clock. "Well, it's getting late." she said, standing up. "I should probably get home." He nodded. "Get some sleep." she said, walking towards the door. Usually this would be the part when the girlfriend would kiss the boyfriend goodbye. Liv thought to herself.

"I'll see you tomorrow." said Holden. "Goodnight Liv."

"Goodnight, Holden." she said back. I love you. She added silently in her mind.

'Get some sleep' she had said. How could he? He was too busy thinking about the words that should've come after 'goodnight'. The words he was supposed to tell her that night. The words he breathed after she had closed the door: 'I love you'

A/N: Hey, guys. Sorry that one took so long. For some reason this chapter gave me struggles and I kept getting stuck, or I couldn't think of the right word, or just stuff like that. I really hope you guys actually like this story! I really do! I hope you guys think it's cute and at least somewhat accurate to the characters' personalities! Seriously, let me know what you think! I would love to hear it! Next chapter should be up soon… ish… No promises, but I'll try my best!
