Chapter 15: The Accident

*Kat's POV*

I had gotten up and made the appointment the next morning. That was about a week ago. There was a knot in my stomach ever since so I had just been working from home. 99% of my job could be done with an Iphone or Ipad, and I had both specifically for that reason. Emily had agreed to take me since I wouldn't be able to drive home afterwards. Which brings us to today. I sat in the waiting room of the clinic, nerves coursing through my body, and the knot in my stomach I had all week was only worse. Everything set me on edge. The echoing laughs of the small children, the piercing scream of the crying babies, the vexing rub of material as the mother bounced her child on her leg; I could even hear the clock on the wall ticking. I was hitting sensory overload quickly, and a few minutes later I had hit my breaking point.

"Emily we're leaving." I stated abruptly as I shot out of my seat and headed for the door. I heard what I assumed to be her footsteps behind me but I didn't look back, determined to get to the car and leave. the next thing I knew, everything was black.  

*Emily's POV* 

I sat in the hospital waiting room terrified. The car had come out of nowhere, I tried to call her, to get her to stop, but I doubt she heard me. The car hit her dead on, sent her flying through the air, she landed about twenty feet from where she was hit. She was in surgery now and I was waiting for Harry and Niall. When they walked in Niall looked like a train wreck and I knew I had to keep it together for him, so I took a deep breath and shove my emotion aside for the time being.  

"Where is she? Can I see her? What happened?" He asked all at once never giving me time to answer.  

"She ha some internal bleeding so they took her to surgery a little bit ago so right now all we can do is wait, the doctor will let us know when she gets out." I replied calmly.  

"How did this happen? I thought it was supposed to be a simple procedure, that's what she told me when I was nervous." 

"Niall she didn't even get to the procedure. She was in the waiting room and I guess she chaned her mind because she stood up and told me we were leaving." 

"Then how did she end up in the hospital?" He interrupted.  

"We were walking out to the car and she stepped off the sidewalk when this car came out of nowhere and slammed right into her." 

"I swear when I find out how did this to her..." 

"Niall it was an 86 year old man who had a heart attack while he was driving, I don't really think it was his fault." 

"Oh" he replied sheepishly.  

"Why don't you just sit down and I'll go get you some coffee. If the doctor comes out tell him that your Kat's fiancé." 

"Why?" 

"They don't tell you anything unless your a family member. I told them I was her sister." 

"You lied to the doctor?" Harry gasped.  

"I never said I was her biological sister." I scoffed.  

Niall sat down and I went to the coffee machine. Harry followed behind me.  

"How are you holding up?" 

I collapsed into his arms. "There was so much blood." I sobbed. "Oh my god Harry there was soo much blood." 

"Shh shh," he cooed "she's going to be fine, she's strong." 

I pulled my self together taking a few deep breaths and wiped my tears. "C'mon we should get back to Niall, make sure he's OK." 

I grabbed the cup of coffee and headed back to Niall. We all sat in the waiting room in silence. No one needed to say anything, we all knew how the others felt and no one wanted to voice any less than hopeful thoughts they were having. After about two hours the doctor finally came out.
