A massive thankyou to S-Nixon, XEmma-KeaneX, as1999 and XxPrettyBlueEyesxX who reviewed the last chapter - again, this is for you!!

Here's chapter 7


The paramedic's arrived a few minutes later. They checked Will's vitals, after deciding he was stable enough to move they strapped him to a stretcher, ready to take him to hospital.

Honey stood just outside the door watching them work, endless questions were running through her mind. How she could she have missed how ill he was? Will he be ok? Tears were filling her eyes as she though about the possibility that one of her best friends might not make it through this.

"Do you want to come with us? In the ambulance?" Asked the brown-haired paramedic, if Honey wasn't so upset she might have noticed how cute he was. Honey looked towards Nikki, silently asking if it was ok for her to leave her unfinished paperwork.

"Go. Make sure he behaves himself" Nikki joked feebly, trying to lighten the mood. "I'll call Smithy and tell him to meet you there, he'll be ok." She tried to assure Honey, although not quite believing it herself.

The ambulance ride had been the longest ride of Honey's life despite it only being 10 minutes away. Tears fell freely down her face as she held his limp hand, willing him to keep breathing and be ok. It was eerie how someone who was normally so full of life, was no so still. Honey was hoping that someone would be at the hospital soon, she really didn't want to be on her own with her thoughts right now.

Meanwhile Lewis was turning the corner, heading to the hospital. Smithy had radioed him to tell him that Will had collapsed and was on his way to the hospital with Honey. His hands gripped the steering wheel hard, many possibilities were running through his head almost making him feel dizzy. He should have made Will go home, he thought sadly, guilt settling in his stomach.

Honey had been in the waiting room for 10 minutes, hugging her knees tight to her chest. Will had been sent to ICU and was having tests done, the doctors were worried about his high temperature. She had to tell doctors anything she knew about Will, his symptoms, what he had been doing before the collapse. She was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of opening, it was Lewis. Honey ran into his arms and began to cry again.

"Hey, sshhh, it's going to be ok. Will's going to get through this." Lewis soothed, gripping her tightly, trying to give her some comfort. Honey couldn't do anything else but cry in both worry for her friend and relief that Lewis was there.

At the station Dan sat in shock, he couldn't believe it. Will was seriously ill in hospital and he had never even noticed how bad he was. When Nikki had first told him over the radio he had thought it had been a joke, until he registered the serious tone of her voice. He had jut finished talking to Lewis. The doctors were still running tests, they still didn't know what was wrong but at least he was holding his own. Beth came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him.

"You okay?" She asked him quietly, kissing his cheek.

"Yeah, just worried about Will." He admitted sighing.

"I'm sure he will be fine. Will's strong." Beth comforted.

Dan just nodded, hoping Beth was right.

Emma walked into the station, having had an extremely busy shift. She was tired, the day had been full.

"EMMA!"Shouted Smithy

Emma turned around, "What's going on?" She asked, wary of Smithy's serious face and tone. Something was wrong.

"Em, Will has been taken to hospital, he collapsed in the locker room."He told her softly, gently rubbing her arm.

Emma couldn't even speak as she let it sink in, she just nodded and ran down the corridor, tears pricking her eyes. Will has to be ok, she thought, who else was going to make stupid jokes? Pick her up when she was upset? She ran into the empty computer room and cried, her back against the door. She couldn't loose him, she just couldn't.

Sam and Phil sat down in the office. Both having a hard time to believe that Will was critically ill.

"I love you" Sam said, breaking the silence they both sat in.

Phil looked up surprised, this was the first time she had ever said it and it was the sweetest thing in the world to hear.

"I love you too." He replied, taking her hand an pulling Sam into his lap.

"I just wanted you to know, in case something happens..." Sam explained.

"Hey nothing's going to happen to you or me. I will always be here for you, I promise."Phil told her, kissing her.

"Will's going to make it through this." He assured her.
