It's All A Bit Risky||Tom Hiddleston x Reader

Chapter 20

A/n: Hello everybody! Today is March 19, 2021. DON'T KILL ME, DON'T KILL ME! I'M SORRY! SO FAR I'VE MADE EVERYONE CRY AND HAVE BEEN THREATENED WITH A SOCK! We chill? Cool. To quote my sweet bun-bun, "You didn't see that coming?"

Warnings: Car Crash, Graphic depictions of gore and slight panic attacks. Be careful yall!

The car ride to the hospital is quick, but awkwardly silent. In the back of her mind, Y/n is still thoroughly pissed with Thomas, but Anna is consuming her thoughts. Images of Anna flung out the front window of the car, laying lifeless on the side of the road fills her head. Her bleeding out, cold and all alone.

Tom reaches over and takes her hand, but she snatches it away, shifting her body away to face the window. He frowns and places his hand back on the wheel, ignoring the stabbing pain in his heart at her coldness.

He pulls up at the hospital and Y/n jumps out, running into the hospital, bathing suit and all. She leans against the front desk. "Anna Watson and Sebastian Stan. I need to see Anna Watson and Sebastian Stan."

"May I ask who you are, ma'am? Are you family?" The nurse asks calmly.

"For Christ's sake, woman, I'm her roomate! She doesn't have any family! And Seb's my friend! We were on a trip together! Where are they?!" Y/n exclaims, tears flowing down her face again in hysterics.

"Ms. Watson is in surgery currently, but Mr. Stan is in room 221B. Second floor, room 21," the nurse directs, eyeing Y/n. She thanks her and speeds off, Tom quickly following. The nurse narrows her eyes at him.

"I'm- I'm her boyfriend. We were all on a trip together," he stammers, quickly jumping into the elevator with her. Y/n taps her sandaled foot on the sleek linoleum floor. Their eyes catch in the shiny reflection of the door, and she averts her gaze to the number pad.

The doors whoosh open and Y/n takes off again, running through the halls to find Sebastian's room. The overly sterile smell of bleach and cleaning product snakes its way through every part of the hospital, singing Y/n and Tom's noses.

She finds his room and throws open the door. There's one bed in there, but space for two. It looks like there was a second one that was quickly wheeled out. In the remaining bed, Sebastian sits there, his face utterly crestfallen. 

His right arm is secured to his hospital gown-clad chest in a navy blue and white sling. There's dry blood on his face, with a few stitches over his left eyebrow, cheek, and chin. His leg is also in a cast.

"Sebastian," Y/n gasps out, her lower lip trembling. His blue eyes snap up to meet hers and they fill with tears. A little sob escapes from his puckered lips and Y/n runs over, hugging him tightly. He attempts to hug back to the best of his ability.

"What happened?" She asks, sitting beside his legs. She reaches up and delicately wipes away his tears.

"We- we were going to go to the top of the mountain to go stargazing, and suddenly, this tree comes out of nowhere and we hit it head-on. On the passenger side. Anna took the grunt of it. I- I don't know if she's going to be okay! They took her into surgery because they said her broken ribs punctured her lung," he sobs.

Y/n gasps and covers her mouth with her hand, horrified. She hugs him tightly again. Tom watches the two, standing awkwardly in the doorway. "I just had a few stitches, a broken arm, and a dislocated knee. But Anna-" he chokes on his words. "She could die," he gasps.

"Don't say that!" Y/n begs. 

The next two hours creep by as slowly as a snail stuck in a ring of salt. Y/n paces the hotel room and tries to distract Seb by telling stories and the like. Tom, on the other hand, is sitting in the corner on a plush leather chair, contemplating his decision in the hot tub.
