I gasp and try to grasp what he is saying.
“Are they going to be alright?” I ask horrified by his sentence. He takes a deep breath and shrugs helplessly. I start to shake and I can’t stop. I do the only thing I can think of and call Katie’s mother.
“Have you heard that Katie was in an accident?” I ask choking up as I ask the question. Her mum doesn’t respond for several moments and finally very quietly asks me how it happened. I feel ashamed and tell her that is was a motorcycle accident. I hear her sharp intake of breath and she hangs up immediately after. I frown at her reaction and sit quietly while Niall drives us to the hospital. He wisely doesn’t say anything and instead reaches over and rubs my knuckles soothingly. I smile softly at him and he pulls into the parking lot of the hospital. I climb out of the car and run into the hospital, not waiting for Niall. I am immediately attacked by Louis and he drags me over to the rest of the group.
“Please, please, please, tell me what’s going on!” I beg grabbing the front of Louis’s shirt. He gently pries my fingers off of his shirt and turns to the woman storming towards us. I notice that it is Katie’s mum and I open my arms thinking she’s going to hug me. Rather than hugging me, she slaps me hard across the face.
“You knew! You knew she was getting on a motorbike and you didn’t tell me and you didn’t stop her!” She hisses venomously. Katie’s father comes in and holds her mother back from striking me again.
“Do not touch her!” Danielle snarls pulling me away from Elaine and towards Niall and her. Niall stands in front of me protectively and Danielle makes sure that I’m far enough away from her mother.
“I’m sorry.” I say helplessly. She glares at me ferociously and stomps towards the nurses’ caddy.
“Are you alright, darling?” Niall asks petting my red cheek. I nod my head and he pulls me closer to his chest.
“Uhm, the nurses said that Harry and Katie aren’t in stable condition yet. Harry broke his arm and Katie broke a leg. Harry also has a concussion and they’re putting him in a medically induced coma to reduce the swelling. Katie has 3 broken ribs and she is covered in bruises. I’m pretty sure she broke her nose on the pavement.” Louis says sadly. He pats Niall’s back and I sit down and put my head in my hands, trying to absorb all of this information.
“I just want Katie to be okay.” I moan sadly.
