You Should Be With Me (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 9: Didn't Make It [Harry POV]

   We took the girls home after we went to get a bite at In-N-Out. The guys and I played music while we headed back to Liam's house. Niall was on the phone with someone, so we had to turn it down.

"Yeah, yeah. We're on our way. Don't worry Mrs. O'Malley, she'll be fine."

  He hung up the phone and took a deep breath. When he looked me in the eyes, I saw tears starting to form. I knew something was wrong.

"Guys, we have to go to the hospital! Alannah got in a car accident."

With that, Liam made a U-turn and headed towards the hospital. It felt like it took forever to get there. When we did finally arrived, we went straight to the emergency room to find Mr. and Mrs. O'Malley. My mother and step dad were there as well. I looked to the right of Mrs. O'Malley and saw Collin. He looked fine. Had a few cuts covered with band aids, it looked like doctors already saw him. He looked up at me and just glared.

"What happened? How's Alannah?" Zayn asked.

"We were driving and a drunk driver hit us. He hit Alannah's side," Collin said.

"We don't know about her state yet. The doctor should be out to tell us at any minute," said Mr. O'Malley.

   We just sat there hugging and comforting Mrs. O'Malley. It was an hour until the doctor finally talked to us.

"Family of Alannah O'Malley?," he said and we all stood up. Her parents walked straight up to him.

"Well, she's alright. She does have a broken arm. But sadly, she lost the baby. We're so sorry."

"Baby? What baby?" asked Mrs. O.

"Your daughter was pregnant and the fetus could not be saved. It's a tragedy. We're sorry."

The O'Malley's looked so lost. They had no idea Lana was pregnant.

"Did you know about this, Collin?" they asked him.

He nodded. He didn't look sad one bit. In fact, he looked relieved.

"She can see you now. Up to five of you can go in at a time."

The O'Malleys went in first, then my parents, then us. When we walked in, her eyes grew big and she smiled brightly. Like nothing happened. We each gave her a hug.

"Crazy, huh? What a way to end Homecoming," she laughed.

I don't think any of us knew how to react, so we just let out a little laugh with her.

"Did the doctor say how the baby was? He said that you guys would tell me, and since you guys and Collin are the only ones that know, I figured I'd ask you guys," she said excitingly.

She didn't know. She didn't know that there was no more baby. We all looked at each other and bowed our heads. It broke my heart knowing that we had to break the news since we were her friends. I was about to say something until Liam came out with it.

"Uhm... Lana... I don't know how to say this, but... uhm..." 

There was a long pause. 

"The doctor said that... that... that the baby didn't make it," Liam finally said, then sat on the chair next to the bed with his head down. 

She shook her head in disbelief. She covered her mouth and she became pale. Closing her eyes, as a stream of tears came running down. She cried out. Bringing her knees to her chest. Louis was the first one to hug her, then Zayn, then Niall, then Liam, and lastly, me. We stayed like that for about half an hour just hugging her and crying with her. Collin came walking in, so we all decided to leave. They needed their time alone as well.

   We got to Liam's house and everyone fell asleep, but I couldn't. I just hoped for the best, and hoped that Alannah would make it through the bad news. I was upset that I was no longer going to have that tiny little baby in my life. I think all five of us felt that way.
