New Friends

Chapter twenty three

Your pov:

Nikki answered the phone. "Hello, Y/n how did it go? Anything wrong?" She said in a very serious concerned way. "Um well, the doctor... said I need to get surgery done in a few days because the fall I took aggravated an old injury that didn't heal right and so they have to break a few pieces inside my lower spine and maybe put some metal pieces to help it to heal properly." I let out a bunch of information. My brain was taking awhile to process it cause I never had surgery done before let alone something that could possibly paralyze me. I think maybe my voice was shaky or something cause then Niki said, " oh my gosh, Y/n I'm so sorry! We will be right there don't worry and we will help you through this. Don't be scared darling it's gonna be okay!" She said in a very comforting yet slightly scared voice.

"Tha- thank you guys so much I don't know what I would have done without you this whole time!" I was now crying. "Absolutely no problem! We will be there soon Y/n okay?" She made sure I knew. "Okay thank you again!" I then hung up.

The Hollands came and picked me up after I signed a bunch of paper work and went through the list they gave me of things to do before surgery. The Hollands and I tried to get a hold of Tom and Harry but unfortunately for some reason they weren't answering their phones and it made me even more upset. My mind set was the worst for a few days until I had a talk with Ella and Zara and Nikki. I was going to tell my family but I haven't talked to them in a long while and the doctor said that there is a very small chance I could die but that it was so small that there was nothing to worry about. Nikki insisted on having my Mom's phone number just in case. She was the best mom ever and I hoped maybe just maybe she'd become my mother in law some day but I'm getting to far ahead of myself!

When it came to the day before, Tom finally answered his phone and said that they went to a different part of the set that was in an area with bad reception and that he was super busy and had no time to be on his phone when he did have good reception. Non of us actually told him about my surgery, his phone was just full of texts asking him to call cause it was to important to just text over the phone. Because I had an early morning surgery I couldn't eat after 7pm and I went to sleep so I could be at the hospital two hours early, so Nikki and Dom filled Tom in over the phone about everything. I'm not sure when they did it but all I knew is either way of him knowing it's not like he could be here and I needed him. He was the only person I had let truly get close to me in ways no one has ever before physically and emotionally been gentle with me.

Tom's pov:

I felt so bad that I missed over 20 text messages from Y/n and my family. I didn't know what was going on cause no one would tell me except my Mum who just said that we needed to talk over the phone cause Y/n is going to get surgery in a few days. I freaked out. That was two days ago which means she could be getting surgery right now! I wasn't sure exactly why she was getting surgery and if she was okay but it's been almost four months since I left and I missed her like crazy my family to of course and I knew I needed to see her weather this was big or small. I ended up getting a  flight that would land in London at 8am.

Now My Mum finally was calling me. I answered the phone, "hello Mum, is Y/n there? Is she okay? What happened? Why is she getting surgery?" I quickly asked as many questions as possible. "Tom, calm down, breathe for a second please. She is alright, but the doctor is having surgery done on her lower spine because that fall she took when you two met aggravated an old injury that wasn't healed properly and so they are going in and breaking a few things to fix it and possibly putting some metal in there to help her to heal better." She talked slow and steady so I'd catch every word.

"Is -  is she gonna be able to walk? When is the surgery? I got a flight that will land at 8am tomorrow, I took time off for a family emergency!" My voice was shaky now. "I don't know if she'll be able to walk, there is a chance she could be paralyzed from the waist down. Her surgery is at 7am and will take two to three hours. Im glad you will be coming home. She'll be happy to see you." Mum sounded tired, sad, and a little happy all at once. "Is she there? Can I talk to her?" I almost whispered as if I was afraid someone was gonna hear me. "No, she is getting everything ready for the hospital and getting an early nights sleep, but don't worry cause you will see her tomorrow. Now please try not to worry to much. She'll be okay I just know it! She's one of the strongest girls we've ever met!" My Mum tried to help although she knew it didn't do anything. "Okay, thank you Mum." We said our goodbyes and I got Harry and packed the rest of our stuff to go to the airport.
