Niall ~ Car Crash (1)

Louis's POV
The car came to a stop and there was a ringing in my ears.
"Louis..." A voice said as the sound slowly faded. "Louis, are you alright?" Paul asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah... What happened?"
"The car has come off the road and is on its side. Are you hurt?"
"I don't... think so..." I said as the ringing fully stopped, and I opened my eyes.
"I need to get you out of the car," Paul told me.
"Ok."
"I've got you," Paul said and, with his help, I managed to get out of the car. "Are you ok?" Paul asked me again as I stood up.
"Yeah," I said, and Paul turned back to the car. I got myself together and I felt my ears again before I looked at the scene: Our car was fully on its side. The front windscreen and both side windows had been smashed. I checked myself for glass as Harry climbed out of the car.
"Harry, are you ok?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I'm good," Harry replied. He had a few bruises, but he seemed to be ok.
"Liam, look at me," Paul called, and I went over to him.
"Is Liam ok?"
"He's hit his head," Paul told me.
"Argh..." Liam groaned. I looked in and saw that Liam had blood by his head, and he had his eyes scrunched up in pain.
"Can you move Liam?" I called to him.
"Louis?" Liam asked me weakly.
"Yeah, it's me."
"I think I... argh, my head..."
"How bad is the pain Liam?" Paul asked him.
"What... happened?"
"Our car crashed, you're on your side Liam," I told him.
"Oh..."
"Can you move?" Paul pressed.
"I think... so..."
"Ok. We need to get you out of the car. Nice and slow," Paul said, and Liam started to move. As he started to climb out, I noticed Niall's hair poking between the seats and my body became cold.
"Paul. Niall's not out of the car."
"Paddy's looking after him. We need to get Liam out of the car," Paul said, and I swallowed. That meant that Niall was not in a good way. He wasn't moving, so he was probably unconscious. Paddy was with him while Paul was looking after Harry, myself and Liam, and that meant... "Louis? Are you still with me?" Paul asked, and I looked at him. He had his hand on my shoulder and I nodded.
"I'm here Paul. Niall's just..."
"I know. We're looking after you all. Can you help me with Liam?"
"Yeah... yeah," I said, and Paul turned back to Liam.
"Liam, how are you doing?"
"Where am I... going?" Liam asked as he was already climbing out of the car.
"Towards my voice. You're doing really well Liam."
"Keep coming to us Liam. You're almost there."
"We've almost got you," Paul said, and Liam moved slightly more, which allowed Paul to get hold of Liam's top and help him out.
"Are you ok?" I asked Liam as he came out.
"No my head's..."
"Come with me, then sit down," Liam said and I followed him and Paul. Paul sat Liam down on a log and inspected his head injury. Liam was clearly out of it, and he was in pain.

Harry's POV
"I need to tell Paul how he's doing. Tell me if anything changes," Paddy told me.
"Ok," I replied, and he went off to talk to Paul. Niall was lying on his side, broken glass surrounding him and he was unconscious. I gently wrapped my hand around one of his, but I had to be careful not to move him. Blood was by Niall's head and he could have sustained serious injuries. "Niall, can you hear me? Niall?" I asked, knowing that it was a long-shot. It had been a fairly serious accident, and Liam was already injured. Having two injured parties, not including Louis and I as we both just had bruises and a few minor cuts, was really bad.
"Hmn... urh..." Niall groaned, and his return to consciousness took me by surprise.
"Niall? Hey, you're ok. It's Harry."
"I..."
"Are you in pain?" I asked him gently as he started to move. "No. No, stay still Niall. You're hurt."
"Arh," Niall said as I steadied him. "Stop," He whispered.
"Does something hurt Niall?"
"Stop..." Niall whispered again before he fell unconscious.
"Harry. Has anything happened?" Paddy asked as he returned.
"Niall came round for a moment, and he tried to move."
"He's probably confused, but that's a good sign. It means that he's able to move."
"We shouldn't move him though?"
"No, just because he can move doesn't mean that he doesn't have an injury."
"I see."
"The emergency services are on their way."
"They're going to have to cut the car to get Niall out aren't they?"
"It looks like it. You're doing great job Harry, are you doing alright?" Paddy asked me as he leant forwards and started taking Niall's pulse.
"I'm nervous, but ok."
"Tell me if you feel ill or anything."
"I will."
