Only one more chapter after this...sad when you think about it. But the good news is that I as of tomorrow I will be done with school, with the exception of two finals that are next week, and that will give me more time to write my other fic and a new one that I started a while ago.
Liz's pov
No, this can't be happening. I ran to Danny's apartment and began pounding on the door.
"It's one in the morning!" he yelled before opening the door, "What's wrong?" he asked when he say my tear soaked face.
"Tom…hospital," was all I could say through my tears.
"Harry!" Dan yelled in to the apartment.
"What," Harry came running and skidded to a stop behind him.
"Get Doug, meet us at the hospital." He began to lead me down the hall.
"What's going on?" I heard Harry yell as Dan led me into the elevator.
"Tom," Danny replied as the doors shut. "What happened," Danny demanded as we burst into the ER.
"Sir, you are going to have to take a seat," a nurse said.
"What the fuck happened to Tom Fletcher!" he yelled to anyone and everyone within hearing distance.
"Are you Liz?" a voice from behind me asked. I spun around to see a middle aged man walking toward us.
"Yes…" I managed to say.
"I'm so sorry, it's my fault," the man looked like he had been crying.
"What happened?" Danny demanded looking at the man.
"I was driving home. It was dark. I didn't see him," the man broke down into tears. I started crying too, then I did the only thing I could, I hugged the man.
"He asked for you," the man said as I stepped back. "After I called for help, he told me to 'find Liz', and then…" My legs suddenly felt like rubber, Danny led me over to some chairs I sat down just as Dougie and Harry came flying through the door.
"Where is he?" Dougie asked frantically looking around.
"I don't-" Danny began but a doctor entered the room.
"Liz?" he asked looking at me, I nodded.
"Tom was hit by a car, he's not looking to good." He looked sincerely sorry. I couldn't help but notice that he was covered in blood.
"Wha…" I couldn't get it out.
"Tom has broken a leg, arm, and several ribs. He has a punctured lung and a fractured skull from when he hit the pavement." I coved my mouth with my hands as Danny put an arm around me.
"How is he now?" Harry asked.
"He is in a comatose state. It's too early to tell if there will be any lasting damage."
"When can we see him?" I finally found my voice.
"Not for a few hours, he is in surgery as we speak. I'll let you know as soon as we have more information," he gave me a weak smile.
"Thank you," I tried to smile back.
I opened my eyes to see Harry looking down at me.
"How is he?" I asked sitting up, I had been using his leg for a pillow.
"Don't know, last time I saw someone they said he just got out of surgery."
"Where are the others?" I look at the clock.
"You were only asleep five minutes, you didn't miss anything. They went to his parents, are you hungry?" I shook my head 'no'. "He's going to be alright." He was doing that reading my mind thing again. I smiled at him as he gave my arm a reassuring squeeze.
We sat in silence until the doctor from before came back.
"I have to warn you, he is still in a critical state, he is still in a coma but if you would like you can go in and see him," the doctor smiled at us. Harry stood up and shook the doctor's hand.
"Thank you so much," he said to the doctor, he then held out his hands to help me up. The doctor led us down the hall to where Tom was. We entered a room full of machines, all beeping and making other various sounds. There was Tom, lying helplessly in a bed. His right leg was in a cast, as was his left arm. His face was covered in bruises, there were stitches above his left eye, and his head was wrapped in a bandage. The doctor excused himself as I walked to the side of his bed.
"I'll go call the others," Harry said sensing that I wanted to be alone with Tom, even if he was in a coma. I stood there looking at Tom, he looked so peaceful, too peaceful. I fell to the ground crying. I don't know how long I stayed on the floor, but after a while I felt someone put an arm around me. I looked up to see Danny sitting on the floor next to me.
"Come on," he stood and lifted me off the floor. "Doug is going to take you and Harry home."
"No…"
"Yes, you two have been here all night and day. You need to get some sleep, just for a few hours then you can come back, ok?" he was talking in almost a whisper. I nodded and let Harry and Dougie lead me out to the car.
"I'm sorry," Harry said as we got off the elevator on my floor.
"What for?" I asked puzzled.
"It's my fault he was out there, if I hadn't said those things…"
"What things?"
"I told him that he shouldn't give up his dream for a girl."
"Why?" I stared at him.
"Jesus Liz, everything was fine with the band until you came along." Did he really just say that?
"Excuse me?" I crossed my arms tears in my eyes.
"Everything was fine until he started going out with you." He said you like I was a leper. "Ever since you two started going out he changed, he no longer cares about the band, in fact he was about to quit the band last night!"
"I know," I looked down at the floor.
"You knew and you didn't do anything to stop him! You are so self-centered. You don't care about anyone but your self!" How could he say these things to me, he is the one who told Tom to dump me for the band! "This is your fault! Tom would be better off with out you and…we would all be! You are destroying everything we have worked for!" Harry yelled, his eyes meeting mine. I dug in my pocket for my keys.
"That's right leave! We will all be better off without you around!" Harry said as I opened my door. I slammed it behind me, leaning against it I sunk to the ground crying.
"Wow," Dougie said as Sarah emerged in a dark blue dress, closely followed by Gem in a green one.
"That color suites you," Danny smirked when he saw Gem.
"Shove it Jones."
"Where are the others?" Harry asked getting impatient.
"Jess was having problems with her hair, but they are coming," Sarah explained.
Jess and Alex wondered into the room, Jess in a lighter blue, and Alex in Purple.
"Liz is waiting, we better go," Jess said and the bunch of them headed down stairs to the dinning room.
"Where is she?" Gem asked looking around.
"Blake, get back here!" Blake came running in closely followed by Liz in a dark red dress. She had one of his shoes in hand.
"I want Aunt Jess to do it," he said hiding behind Jess' legs. Liz tossed Jess the shoe and watched as she but it on the boys other foot. "Thank you, you look pretty," he smiled up at her. Liz looked from Blake to Jess.
"What's going on…" Both Blake and Jess looked suddenly guilty. "Jess, stop bribing my son with cookies."
"Ooooo, you're in trouble," Blake grinned looking up at Jess.
