"She's o- okay, right?" Dan asked, wiping his tears away.
"She's completely fine- except for the part that she did hurt her waist pretty badly and the fact that it took her a while to get here didn't help."
"But- you guys fixed her right? She's completely fine now...right?" I asked, my right leg shaking from the wait.
"Luckily, yes. We are just warning you- if something like this ever happens again- to get here immediately. If you got here later, Ms. Howell could've been severely injured. Her waist should be healing in weeks time but she will be in a wheelchair for the time being, okay?"
"Um- sure," The nurse nodded before opening the door to Ellie's room. There she was, laying on the bed peacefully, her eyes gently closed.
"Ms. Howell-"
Ellie cut her off with her pale, soft lips. "Please call me Ellie."
"Okay- Ellie, you have visitors." She opened her eyes, grinning the grin that I was afraid I would never seen again. "I'll leave you three alone- I'll be back with one more guest." The moment the door closed behind her, Dan ran to hug Ellie. Seeing as her waist was in a thin cast- ish thing and there were wires around her, the hug seemed very awkward.
"Hey guys!"
"Are you okay?" I asked, kneeling next to her bed.
"I'm fine- but how about you guys? You look like you stabbed a fork in your eye- actually both of you."
"There you go- I'll have to ask you guys to leave so I can bring in more people in about 5 minutes." Lia ran in, kneeling next to me and grabbing Ellie's right hand; the only hand that didn't have anything attached to it.
"All three of you really." Me and Dan chuckled, ignoring Lia's confused glances. "Hey Lia!"
"Don't 'Hey Lia' me- you got hit by a freaking car!"
"I'm fine Lia, honestly. I just hope no fans know about this..." Ellie shuffles a bit, closing her eyes again.
"If you say so," I smile weakly, completely forgetting about the fact that Pj and Ellie went on a date.
//time skip - 2 weeks later\\
"You're free to go-" The nurse started.
"YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS!" Laughing uncontrollably, Lia wheeled Ellie out quickly, ignoring the dirty looks people were giving us. "Ugh I hate this!" Ellie whined the moment we got out of the hospital.
"What?" Dan asked, putting his phone back in his pocket.
"I hate wheelchairs!"
Lia giggled. "At least you don't have to push anyone! This is the most exercise I've had in a month!" Dan chuckled before stopping the wheelchair and taking the place of Lia.
"What?! Dan! That's the nicest thing that you have done in your life!" I exclaimed.
"What is?"
"Y- you just took her spot?! Are you sure you are Daniel James Howell?!" Ellie said, laughing. "Dan really likes you then, Lia!" Lia blushed while Dan just whistled, looking away. "YES!" She pumped her fists in the air.
