Drunken DMs

Chapter 36

Michael

"Hi, my name's Michael Clifford," I said to the lady from the hospital on the phone. I needed all the information I could get about Leah and her condition, "I believe you have a patient here by the name of Leah Carmichael?"
"Ah, yes we do," the lady said, "except we can't give out any information on her, unless you're a family member,"
"I'm her boyfriend," I spat out, but saying that felt good, it felt right
"Right Mr Clifford, we've actually been expecting your call,"
"You have?" I was a little confused, they must've called Brandon and he told them I was her boyfriend, "actually don't worry," I told her, "now what can you tell me about her condition?" I was surprisingly being calm, but on the inside I was a fucking wreck
"She was in a serious car accident," the lady said
"Yeah I already fucking know that," I spat
"Calm down Michael," Luke said, from sitting next to me on the couch
"Okay, right now she's in surgery and about to go in to surgery, and she won't be able to have any visitors until she's out of intensive care. Her..."
"She's in surgery? What the fuck? What's wrong with her?"
"She has suffered blunt forced trauma to the head, and some internal bleeding, which is why she is in surgery,"
"Can I ask, what's going to happen with her?" I asked, I understood that she was in surgery, but I wanted to know if her injuries were serious and if there were any possible permanent side affects of this crash. I couldn't help but blame my self
"We won't know anything until she is out of surgery, the injuries she sustained weren't serious,"
"Okay, thank you," I hung up the phone

I put the phone down letting out a sigh, "so what happened?" Luke asked
"She's about to go into surgery, but she can't have any visitors until she's out of intensive care," I explained, running a hand through my hair, making it even messier than it was
"But you said you were her boyfriend? So shouldn't you be able to visit her?"
"I guess we'll have to wait and see," I sighed
"So when are we going to the hospital?" Ashton asked
"There's no point in going now," I told them, even though I really wanted too
"I guess I'll call the hospital in a couple hours and ask when she's out of surgery,"
"Yeah," Luke agreed, "I have to get Ambur from the airport at some point, I think her flight lands in like seven hours,"
"Fuck! Ambur's coming?" I groaned, "she's gonna fucking kill me,"
"Whose Ambur? And why are you getting her from the airport?" Calum asked
"Leah's friend, who Michael got me to follow so he could get Leah's address," he said simply, "and she's the one who told me about the accident. Leah's gonna wanna see her when she wakes up,"
"So Brandon didn't tell you?" I asked, and the it suddenly dawned on me, why my three best mates were here
"We already knew," Ash said, "that's why our phones were off when you called, we were on the plane. We wanted to tell you in person about it, and we knew you'd need us,"
"If I didn't leave this wouldn't have happened," I groaned, "it's all my fault,"
"It's not your fault Mikey," Calum tried to reassure me, "if it's anyone's fault it's her so-called best friend,"
"Why would she do that to Leah?" I cried, "Leah's the sweetest person ever,"
"You really like her don't you?" Ash asked
"I'm falling for her," I told them, "I think I even had feelings for her before I even met her,"

Hours had passed and the guys tried to keep me occupied; so my mind would be kept off Leah. We decided to wait for Luke to go and pick up Ambur before we went in; which was now. He opted to go by himself so there wouldn't be so much attention brought to us, if all four of us went. Granted I thought it would be easier if the three of us just waited in a cab for her.

Ten minutes later, the door to the hotel room opened, and in walked Luke and a small Hispanic girl. It looked like she'd been crying for hours, but as soon as she saw me, a look of anger and pure disgust came over her, "so are we ready to go?" I asked everyone, getting off the couch
"Oh, no not yet," Ambur said, these were the first words she had spoken
"Well I think we should," Calum chimed in, "this ones been going crazy since he found out,"
"She wouldn't even be in the hospital if it wasn't for him," Ambur spat
"Ambur," Luke said, trying to calm her down
"No, I will not calm down," she seethed, "I actually can't believe I'm saying this, but fuck you Michael Clifford, you don't fucking deserve her,"
"I know I don't okay?" Sitting back down on the couch, "but it's not my fault she's in the fucking hospital!"
"It fucking is, Hijo de puta,"
"Huh? What was that?" I questioned what Ambur had just said to me in a different language, "did she just call me a dildo?" I asked Luke
