Harry Styles Injury and Sickfics

2. Broken Ankle

It was 2015 and harry was messing about with niall, kicking a ball about outside of their tour bus. liam and louis were playing video games in the bus as they were parked up so the driver could have a nap. 

Harry: oi neil! pass me the ball then!

Niall: if you stop calling me neil then i will!

Harry: okay fine..neil.

Niall booted the ball right in harry's direction. as harry went to kick it, his foot rolled underneath him. all harry heard was the loudest snap he'd ever heard in his life. He fell to the floor in agony.

Harry: oh fuck me! 

At first niall thought harry was messing about and began hysterically laughing, but when harry didn't get up and niall heard his quiet sobs, he sprinted over to help him.

Niall: harold you good? 

Harry: does it look like I'm fucking fine niall?!

he sat up from laying down and clutched his ankle, trying to put pressure on it to ease the pain.

Niall: sorry lad i didn't mean to..

Harry: sorry i shouldn't have lashed out at you like that.

Niall: come on i'll help you back to the bus. can you put pressure on it at all?

Harry stood up, wiping his tears and gently putting his foot down to the floor. this was followed by him screaming at the pain it just caused him.

Niall: right bud, stay here and i'm going to go fetch you a cushion and some ice.

Harry: okay..

Niall sprinted back to the bus. Harry wiped his tears with the heels of his hands and continued to put pressure on his ankle. before niall came back, the other two boys had sprinted out after hearing harry's scream.

Louis: mate what happened?

Harry: rolled my ankle.. kind of snapped, might be broken.

Liam: shit that sounds painful!

just then, niall came sprinting out with some water, ice, a cushion and his iPhone.

Niall: right so this will most definitely hurt but i really need you to lift your leg up so i can put this pillow underneath just to elevate it.

Harry: right, well i can't lift my leg because it feels like a fucking weight's just been dropped on it.

Louis: right i'll lift your leg for you then.

Liam: be gentle louis.

Louis: ready harry?

Harry nodded, scrunching his eyes shut. Louis lifts his leg up and harry screamed again, tears streaming down his cheeks once more. Niall quickly slid the pillow under his leg and placing the ice gently on top.

Louis: that must be painful if you're crying about it.

Louis gently placed his hand on harrys shoulder.

Niall: to be fair, harold here is the biggest cryer of the group, but this is the worst he's been.

Harry managed to break a little simle.

Liam: right nialler, you call an ambulance, louis you stay here with harry and i'll go tell paul.

Niall: on it.

Louis: yeah, don't worry harry, nurse louis is here.

Louis began laughing hysterically, causing harry to laugh. the ice began to slide off of harry's ankle, causing him a lot of pain. He winced. Louis, noticing, picked the ice up and held it gently on his ankle. about 10 minutes later, the ambulance pulled up.

Lucy: hi harry, i'm doctor lucy and i'm going to be taking care of you.

Harry nodded, in so much pain that he couldn't communicate. He shakily sipped the bottle of water niall gave him before placing it down beside him,

Lucy: right you need to tell me where it hurts okay? 

Harry: o-okay..

Lucy pressed one side of his ankle and he just lost it. 

Harry: STOP STOP STOP!

Niall: harry it's okay! 

Harry: no no it's not!! 

Lucy: right i'm going to get you some gas and air to just calm you a bit.

Lucy went and grabbed the gas and air, handing it to harry. Harry very eagerly took to the gas and air, soothing him slightly. he scrunched his eyes shut as lucy began pressing his ankle again.

Lucy: right i need some help loading him onto a stretcher. boys are you alright to lift him?

Niall: yep no problem!

Liam: louis you take him under his arms and i'll take his legs. Niall go with him to the hospital and we'll follow you in the car there.

Niall gave a thumbs up. Louis kept talking to harry, distracting him slightly from the pain. harry continued using  the gas and air. Once he was all loaded and strapped into the ambulance, niall climbed into the seat next to the stretcher. As soon ad they got to the hospital, harry was rushed into surgery to help his ankle heal. After the surgery, niall, liam and louis waited in the waiting room for the doctor to tell them he was awake.

Lucy: Hiya boys, good news! he's awake. he's still a bit woozy from the anasthetic but everything went really well and he's on the mend! we've put him in a boot so his ankle is protected so don't worry about hurting him.

Niall: thank you so much lucy.

They all walked into harry's room quietly.

Louis: hiya mate! how are you feeling?

harry's voice was really raspy and croaky.

Harry: bit woozy but other than that okay. thanks for helping me guys.

Niall: no problem bud!

he perched himself on the edge of harry's bed.

Niall: do you need anything? a bit more gas and air, water, food?

Harry: i think i'm good but thanks neil.

Harry smirked weakly.

Niall: right i'll let you off today, but no more.

Harry: We'll see about that.

Liam: are you sure you don't want anything?

Harry: i mean, a coffee would be nice.

Liam: on it.

It had been a few days and harry was able to go home, having niall stay with him to help him get around as he was on bed rest, though he spent most of his time on the sofa.
