Heartbreaker

As Y/n slowly came round again, she saw an arm across her face and felt a hand pressing something into the side of her forehead.

"Hey you're alive! Thank god." Damon's voice came from beside her. She glanced at him.

"Damon? What the hell are you doing in New Orleans?" She questioned.

"Not important but you remember me, so that's a good sign." She tried to move but Damon and the sharp pains in her ribs stopped her.

"No no no, you gotta stay still and let the paramedics work on you. You got pretty beat up and you passed out." Damon said to her.

Y/n groaned, her hand reached for the napkins Damon was pressing against her head. She looked in front of her to see Damon's car had rolled on its side and there were people on all sides of the street watching this unfold.

"Are you okay?" She asked him gesturing to his car.

"I'm a vampire, I'm fine." He mumbled.

Then she heard a voice.

"Y/n!" It called.

"Oh no no no no no." She paused. "You called Elijah?" She snapped at Damon.

"He was your emergency contact!" Damon defended.

"Would've been better calling Klaus, or Rebekah or literally anyone else!"

Elijah ran up to the side of the car, his eyes full of worry.

"What happened? Are you alright?" He asked.

She just looked at him. "You know you ask me that in really crappy situations. Like no 'Lijah I'm clearly not alright." He tried to hold back his smile at her sarcasm. Oh how he missed her.

"Okay are you sore anywhere else?" The paramedic asked as he taped gauze over the cut on her head removing the blood soaked napkins and throwing them to the floor.

"My wrist. I hit my body against the steering wheel kinda hard and my wrist was trapped between it and the wheel. My ribs hurt too." She said breathlessly. The paramedic started poking around her ribs.

"OW!" She gasped loudly letting the paramedic know that that hurt. Elijah hated seeing her in pain, he made himself look away.

"Okay we're going to get you out and get you to the hospital cause you definitely need x-rays and you might have a serious concussion. The other driver said you passed out?" She couldn't remember if she had.

"Yeh I was on the phone to him and when I looked back she was unconscious." Damon chimed in gesturing to Elijah.

"Okay. How badly was she bleeding?" The medic shone his torch in her eyes whilst speaking to him.

"It seemed bad, it was running down her face, her hand is covered and those napkins were soaked."

A medic and Elijah helped her out the car and onto the stretcher where her legs were then exposed, revealing a couple bruises and scrapes.

They pushed her into the back of the ambulance and the medic turned to the men standing watching this.

"We have to get her there fast so we'll have to meet you at the hospital." The medic said slamming the back of the ambulance shut before speeding off.

Y/n was pushed past everyone waiting in the ER and taken immediately up to a room.

The doctor came in and examined her. After about 20 minutes and some x-rays, he stepped back and concluded "You've got a serious concussion, some bruising on your wrist and you cracked 3 of your ribs. Your concussion is what caused you to pass out and the amount of blood you lost from the laceration on your forehead, didn't exactly help either. Your legs got a little scratched up but they're fine. I'd like to keep you here overnight so we can keep an eye on you." Y/n shook her head.
