I really don't have much to say this time...other than I'm going back to school tomorrow and the updates will probably slow down for a little while :( Hope you enjoy this though!
XX Dougie's POV XX
I think Harry and I broke records running down that hallway. We nearly passed the room we were running so fast. We composed ourselves and walked in, the door already opened. Hannah was sitting in a chair next to the bed, Danny was standing behind her, and Erica was propped up by pillows in the bed. She looked so fragile, I felt the tears begin to well up in my eyes. All three of them looked back at us and Hannah stood up.
"We'll leave you guys alone then" Danny said and led Hannah out of the room.
I went straight over to the bed and bent down to hug Erica. "I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried."
"I'm glad you're okay…I kept having this nightmare I'd never be able to see you again," she said back.
Harry cleared his throat and we both looked back at him. "Sorry," we said in unison and I backed up and sat down in the chair. Harry sat on the edge of the bed.
"Dougie, I'm surprised you're still alive considering you two have already talked," Erica said.
"I am too…" I said.
"Hannah and Danny filled me in on everything. Please tell me you two fixed everything already…"
"We did," Harry answered, "and I'm sorry to both of you for the way that I reacted. I just couldn't really handle it all."
"I'm sorry too…to both of you. I feel so awful about all of this." I just had to say it one more time. "I feel like it's all my fault…"
"It's not your fault Dougie. You couldn't do anything about it," Erica replied. "The dumbass who ran the red light, that's whose fault it is."
"And if he made it out alive, I'll kill him anyways…" Harry threatened.
"Well enough about that…do you know when you can leave here?" I asked.
"The doctors said it just depends how tomorrow goes and whatever comes out of the tests that they did," Erica replied.
"Well no matter how long it is, I'm staying here with you," I said as I grabbed her hand, and that was a promise.
"Dougs, you of all people need to get of here at some point. You don't take to hospitals very well," Harry said, a trace of worry in his voice.
"Well, it looks as though I won't be lonely while I'm here…Hannah already refused to leave," Erica laughed. "And Harry's right…do you think you can handle a hospital this long?"
"I'll be fine, I just want to know that you're okay. I couldn't stand not knowing where you were earlier."
"Well if you're going to be staying here, I'll head home and grab some stuff for you guys," Harry said with a smile. "I'll go see where everyone else is and leave you two alone." With that, he got up and left the room. I looked over at Erica and tears started to roll down my cheeks.
"If I could move, I would scoot over for you but I don't think I can," she laughed. I laughed along with her.
"Right now, just being in the same room as you is enough," then I moved the chair closer to the bed and we just started to talk, acting like everything was normal.
XX Hannah's POV XX
"Danny, I'm staying here. I couldn't care less about fresh clothes or food right now," I protested to Danny. We were sitting in the waiting room and it felt like we were the only people in the whole building. Well, besides Emily sitting across from us of course.
"You need some rest, next thing you know you'll be in one of those hospital beds." He wasn't giving up very easily.
Tom and Zoey came over with coffee for us. "We're gonna head home for a little while. You guys need us to bring you anything?"
"Nah, we're fine. If you guys want, you can just stay home for the night," Danny offered.
"You sure? We have no problem coming back," Zoey said.
"Yeah, you two go home and rest. Someone needs to take care of the house," Danny stated with a laugh.
Tom laughed too. "Somehow I always get roped into that position…well we'll see you tomorrow." Then they turned and headed out of the waiting room.
Danny looked at me and ran his fingers through his hair. I hated thinking this, but he looked pretty damn hot when he was flustered. He sighed and said, "You're sure you'll be okay here?"
"Yes I'm sure. I just need to be here."
"Fine. I'll go to your house and get some clothes and stuff for you. Did you call your parents yet?"
"Shit…I completely forgot about them."
"I'll talk to them too. You just relax here and I'll take care of everything else." He leaned over and gave me a quick but passionate kiss.
"Wait, how are you getting there? Isn't your car still out on that street?"
"I had it towed here. Like I said, I've got everything taken care of." He smiled and it was so vivid. I could tell he was proud of himself.
Harry walked back in the waiting room, looking very tired himself. I thought he was going to just drop right there. Emily noticed too and hurried over to give him a hug. "Danny, are you heading home?" he asked.
"I'm going to Hannah's, you need a ride?"
"Yeah, I need to talk to my parents and pick up a few things…" he trailed off. I could tell he wasn't looking forward to talking to his parents. I stood up and gave him a hug, then turned and gave Danny a kiss. I pulled away and he pulled me back into his arms. It was like he was letting me know he wasn't going anywhere, which just made me want to cry more.
"I love you," he whispered in my ear.
"I love you too," I said and meant it. He pulled away and looked down at me, smiled and was off with Harry and Emily.
XX Zoey's POV XX
Tom and I walked into the empty band house. The kitchen was still a mess from earlier and neither of us really wanted to clean anything up. Tom ruffled his hair and flopped down on the couch. I sat down next to him and laid my head on his shoulder.
I looked up at his deep brown eyes, he was just staring off into space. "Are you okay?" I asked.
"I think so…everything just happened so fast today."
I stretched up to kiss his cheek. "You just need a little time to relax," I said. "I'll go make some tea."
After a few minutes I came back with the cups of tea and set them on the table in front of us. Tom turned to me and said, "Well, we do have the house all to ourselves…"
"Really Tom…" I was actually astonished he said that.
"Well, this doesn't happen often," he smiled at me. Damn those dimples…I just can't say no to that. So, I smiled back and he leaned down to kiss me. It was actually one of the most amazing kisses ever. He leaned into it even more and pinned me down on the couch. I pulled away for a second, both our breathing was heavy.
"Should we be doing this? I feel bad about doing this…" I questioned.
"It's fine. We do need to relax don't we?" he said with a smirk.
I laughed at him. "Tom, this is so bad."
"It's okay," he stated again and pressed his lips to mine. I just couldn't resist it. I gave in and started kissing him again.
He sat up, grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the stairs. "We are awful people…" I couldn't help but laugh. I was giggling like an idiot the whole way to his room. He laid me down on his bed and began kissing my neck. "Are we really doing this right now?"
"I think we are," he said back with a smile.
Although I felt quite guilty, I pushed that thought aside and focused on how amazing this moment really was.
