Taylor Swift / Kaylor - Begin Again

Chapter Twenty-Three

Taylor's POV

"Karlie's been in a car accident. It's pretty serious."

Karlie. Car accident. Serious. Karlie. Car accident. Serious.

My heart was racing. My thoughts going mad, thinking the worst. No. Not Karlie.

"I- um. I. What happened?! Is she gonna be okay? Am I allowed to see her. Oh my God please say she's okay." I rushed. My mouth suddenly became dry and it there literally wasn't enough oxygen in the room anymore. My eyes were brimming with tears, threatening to leak at any moment. Why. Why Karlie. What if she dies?

"She was on here way to a fitting when a truck came round the corner over the speed limit and slammed into the car. It flipped a couple of times. The driver of the truck died at the scene. Karlie is lucky to be alive. But the next 48-72 hours are critical. She has internal bleeding, something about her spleen, punctured lung, 3 ribs are broken, a broken leg and arm. They, uh, they want to do brain scans."

"Brain scans?! What? Why?! Are we allowed up? I have to see her..." I began crying, I tried my best to stay composed but it didn't work. "I have to. I really have to." I cried more.

"1, yes you can come up, Ellie can too. And although I hate to, I have to leave in a couple of hours. 2, they want to see if there's any brain damage. But they can't do the scans just that. I think they may be putting her into a medically induced coma for a couple of days, we're not entirely sure yet. She's been drifting in and out of consciousness for a while now."

"I'll leave now!" I quickly hung up. Took a deep breath in and cleared up my smudged make up. I couldn't be bothered to re do my make up at the moment, all I could think about was Karlie.

"What's happened?" Ellie asked sounding panicked.

"We have to go up to the hospital. Um, Karlie's been in a car accident and it's serious. I'll explain more on the way up there."

"Shit!" Ellie exclaimed. Usually I would tell her off for that language, but at this moment in time, foul language just didn't matter.

Ellie scrambled to get her shoes. Once she had them on we ran down to the lobby, into the car and began our journey to the hospital.

As soon as we arrived at the hospital we both ran to the entrance. I had explained to Ellie what was going on, on the way up, and I think she is just as worried.

I was trying to mentally prepare myself for what I was about to see. To see someone I care so much about in such a state. My heart was racing and my hands were so clammy

We walked up to Karlie's room, both of us with worried looks on our face. As we walked in, I saw that Karlie wasn't here. Just Kimby. With a pale face, puffy eyes, bloodshot. She had her head in her hands and she was crying and shaking. I immediately thought the worst. She's died.

"Kimby?"

"Taylor. I'm so glad you're here." She came up to me and hugged me tight.

"Where's Karlie?"

"They've taken her for an emergency operation. They had to get resus in, it wasn't looking good so they rushed her down once they brung her back round."

"Oh my god." I whispered, bringing my hand up to my mouth.

"I have to go soon and I don't wanna leave her alone."
