george's pov:

they pull me back out to where nick is standing, "dada?" ivy says reaching out for me to hold her, she looks tiered and scared, like father like daughter i suppose,

"they won't even let me go in the fucking ambulance," i sob to nick as the adrenaline wears away and i'm forced to think about the situation i've been dropped in rather than just acting on instinct, i pull ivy into my arms to try and comfort her since she's probably feeling just as scared right now,

"i'll drive your to the hospital don't worry," nick says grabbing my bags and leading me away from the ongoing game, i'm cry to much to think about anything other than walking and keeping ivy safe,

i can hear the sirens on the ambulance as we walk to his car, "who's gonna look after ivy?" i ask,

"luke's game is almost over i'll get him to take her take to your place," nick says, opening the door for us and quickly getting in the drivers seat and starting the car,

"do you think he's gonna be okay?" i quietly say holding ivy closer to my chest as nick swerves through traffic,

"he's strong, he has a lot to live for," nick nods, he looks just as nervous as me, i dont want to distract him from driving so i just sink further in my seat and make sure ivy is sleeping peacefully,

when we arrive at the hospital practically sprint to find the ambulance dream was bought in, "is he okay, what happened?" i ask another paramedic but they ignore me again, i run along after him continuously getting blanked, he's laying on the stretcher in a state that makes my stomach turn, both eyes black and swollen, a deep gash in the side of his head and his leg with a completely unnatural bend in it.

"i'm sorry sir but only doctors are allowed past this point," a nurse says, ivy is beginning to wake up again and is on the verge of tears again,

"please tell me what's going on, he has a daughter a family i need to know he's gonna be okay?" i sob,

"i'm sorry sir, you need to go to the front desk and ask for his information, you can visit him when he's out of surgery," a nurse tells me,

"he's going into surgery?" i ask running to keep up with him,

"you need to talk to the front office," she sighs, i feel like i'm about to fall apart, ivy is now fulling wailing and screaming for her papa and internally i feel the same, i turn around to go find the front desk and see nick standing behind me on the phone with someone, he leads me to the reception since i'm in no fit state to try and navigate,

once he hangs up the phone he explains that luke was on the way and that he get grill whoever he needs to for information as i call dream mom,

"okay," i nod, my legs feel like jelly as i find a seat and nick starts to talk to the nurse,

"papa?" ivy sobs softly into my jersey,

"the doctors are trying to make him all better," i whisper stroking her hair and trying to comfort her as i dial edelines number, thankfully she picks up almost instantly,

"george is everything okay i was listening to the post game summary on the radio and there saying clay went off injured?" her voice has a clear level of concern,
