Classes went by fast everyday. But all I wanted to do, was be home, and travel around London. This city is such a tease. Beer, amazing sights, history... Everything. This was a dream land.

It was Friday, and I was in my last class of the day, psychology studies. I liked this class the most, because it was the easiest and most interesting. I always enjoyed health class and science, so this was a mixture of both.

In the middle of Professor Jergens lesson, my phone went off in my pocket. I quickly took it out and it was a text from Nina.

Nina: Hurry home! Emergency! ASAP!

I looked up from my phone and Professor Jergens was writing on the board. I grabbed my bag and quickly ran up to her. "Hi, I really gotta go, there is an emergency!" I said. Her eyes widened and she shooed me away.

I ran out the doors and down the hall. I ran until I got to the bus stop, but it was an emergency and I had no time to wait for the slow ass bus, so I decided to run back to the flat... Five miles.

While running, a car stopped and it was Jay. "Get in." He said. I did so, and he sped off to home.

When we arrived to the flat, I ran out of the car and ran into the flat.

Nina was sitting on the couch, crying her eyes out. "What's wrong?" I asked. She looked up. "Haley is in the hospital!" She said. Tears rushed to my eyes. "What? Why? Is she okay? We gotta get-" then Nina cut me off. "We can't see her, she is in surgery." Nina said. "What the fuck happened?" I asked. "She was walking back from the store, and while crossing the street, when it was a red light, a car ran a red light and hit her. She has five broken ribs, broken leg, and arm. She had a gash on her stomach and one on her hand." Nina said.

I sat beside her and we cried into each other. Jay walked over and sat next to me and rubbed my back. With an instant, the front door opened, and Tom came running in. Nathan, Max, and Siva followed in behind him.

"What happened? Is she okay? Is she alive?" He asked. Nina filled him in, and after the story, all of us were crying.

"When can we go down?" I asked Nina. "Doctor said he will call us, but it will be a while so he suggested we should go home." She said. "Why is it taking so long?" I asked. "Because her leg twisted and it was just a bloody mess. Worse than Bella from Twlights experience." "Damn."

We all sat around patiently. We all took out our phones and put them on the table, just staring at them. Tom was a wreck, Nina was a wreck, I was a wreck, we were all a wreck. Their parents had called, and they were flying to London tomorrow.

Two hours passed, still no call. We were starting to get even more worried.

Tom was pacing back and fourth in the living room. "Tom you aren't helping, you are making me even more stressed." Max said. "Shut the hell up idiot." Tom snapped at Max. Max rolled his eyes and put his head down in his hands.

Another half an hour later, Nina's phone rang. She quickly took it out of her pocket and answered. "Hello?... She is!... Wait what?... Oh... Is she okay?... Aright we are on our way." Nina then hung up the phone. "She's out of surgery, it went well. She's sleeping now, but we can come down. But she has to stay in the hospital for about three to four weeks. At least until the ribs are healed." Nina said. I smiled. "I'm just glad she is okay." I said. The others agreed with me.

We all got up and left. We piled into Sivas Car, and took off for the hospital.

When we arrived to Haley's room, she was hooked up to multiple different machines. She was still sleeping.

We walked in with a bunch of teddy bears, and balloons. Tom walked over to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead. We all took a seat, and sat around.

Then her doctor walked in. "She will most likely be asleep for about three more hours, so make yourself comfortable." He said, and we did.

We stayed silent, went on our phones occasionally, but mostly sat in silent, waiting for her to wake up.

Two hours in, Jay asked to see me in the hall.

I did so, and followed him into the hall. "You alright?" He asked me. "Yeah, just so worried." I said. "Understandable." He said. We both sat down on the bench outside her room. He grabbed my hand. "Everything is going to be okay." He said. "Yeah." Was all I said. How could he possibly talk at a time like this? I understand that he is trying to cheer me up, but I am freaking out right now.

"So guess what I found this morning." He said. "What?" I asked. "A gray hair." He said. My eyes widened.

He said once he found a gray hair, that's when he would want to settle down. I looked at him. "Are you trying to say what I think you are?" I asked. "Don't worry, I'm not proposing at least for a while. Just saying, it was crazy. I feel old." He said. "Shut up, you are only twenty three!" I said. "Eh. I feel old." He said. I was about to say something, but Nina poked her head through the door.

"She's awake!" She said. I smiled at Jay, and we walked into the room to greet the little soldier.
