High school romance

Tragedy

*Niall's pov*

I was on my way to UNM hospital. My head was swimming with thoughts of what I had been through with Rachael. We had been through so much. I couldn't lose her EVER. If I did I would be heartbroken for the rest of my life. She wasn't only my first girlfriend she was the best. My vision was beginning to blur as I pulled into the parking lot. I barely found a parking space but I did find one. I thought about how much we still hadn't done together.

It was my fault for letting her drive my Porsche. I calmly walked to the front of a desk on the first floor of the hospital. "I'm here to see Rachael Patee."

"Ok. Can I see an I.D.?"

"Yes hold on." I rummaged through my jeans pocket pulling out my license. I held it up for her to see. "Alright you may go up. Here's your wristband."

"Alright." I stuck out my arm while I wAited for her to wrap the wristband around my wrist. I tried to remain calm as I pushed the button for the fourth floor on the elevator. My hand shook rapidly. The doors of the elevator opened. I walked slowly to the desk to see where Rachael was. "Excuse me miss, I'm here to see Rachael Patee."

"Down the hall to the right."

"Thank you." My legs wobbled as I walked towards her room. I just hoped she was ok.

*Rachael's pov*

I was lying on a small hospital bed. I was still kind of out if it. I heard the doorknob turning. Startled, I shouted who is it!"

"Just me." It was Niall. Standing in the doorway with a worried expression on his face. He leaned over me. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I think so."

"What do they have to do now. The doctor has to make sure I'm alright and clean me up then we can go."

"Oh ok."

"Yeah but I'm going to have to be cleaned and bandaged every morning and night for a couple weeks."

"Ok. That's fine."

"I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"I love you Niall."

"I love you too. It's my fault for letting you drive the Porsche."

"No it's not. Don't feel guilty about any of this."

"Ok. I'll try not to." He sat on my bed and stared at me sadly. "I-I just wanted you to be ok."

"I'm ok Niall."

"I-I-I can't lose you." He whimpered.

"I'm fine Niall."

"Ok. Everyone's coming to visit you."

"Ok. I was hoping they were."

"Yeah."

*Maya's pov*

When I stepped inside Catherine's house. I could feel the sadness in the air. I could tell something was wrong. Catherine, Zayn, Miriam and Louis greeted me at the door. "Hi Maya."

"Hey guys. Is something going on you guys look sort of upset."

"Yeah something is wrong."

"What is it?"

"Rachael's hurt."

"Hurt how?"

"Niall didn't say. All he said that she had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance."

"Oh my gosh."

"Yeah. After dinner we are going to visit her. Want to come?"

"Sure."

"Ok." I helped Catherine finish setting up.

*Harry's pov*

I couldn't believe that Rachael was hurt. Damn I bet Niall was devastated. While Maya helped Catherine set up I sat down on the couch and called Niall.

*on the phone*

"Hey mate how's she doing?"

"They have to do a CAT Scan and then we'll see if she can come home."

"Oh my gosh. We'll be there after we eat."

"Ok Mate. See you later

"Bye Niall."

*End of phone conversation."

As I heard my phone beep and put it back in my pocket. I could tell that Catherine was trying to keep everybody in a relatively happty mood. The song  "Princess of China" by Coldplay was playing. I sang along to the music and tried to keep everybody in a fun mood. The smell of the awesome food was in the air. I felt so bad for Niall. I turned around and smiled a small smile when I saw Liam and Kirsten at the door. Kirsten had made pumpkin pie for the occasion.

*Kirsten's pov*

I stood in the doorway of Catherine's house struggling to hold the pie. Harry ran over to me to help me becuase Liam was carrying egg sald. "I got it Kirsten."

"Thanks Harry."

"No problem."

I stepped into the living room and turned around to see Catherine and Zayn greet me. "Hey Kirsten."

"Hi,"

"How are you?"

"Good. Where's Rachael?"

"She's not  coming."

"Shes not? What happened."

"She's hurt.'

"Oh my gosh I hope she's ok?"

"She should be ok. She's getting a CAT scan now."

"ok you guyks are going to visit you after we eat right."

"Yeah."

"That's good. Is it ok if  I come with you guys?"

"Sure everyone else is going."

"Ok."

"Yeah, Go ahead and  sit down at the table the food is almost ready."

"Ok,"  I was a little happy when I heard the song "She's not afraid" playing I sang along with Liam while we waited for our food.

*Liam's pov*

When I heard that Rachael was hurt, I immediately felt sympathy for Niall. I couldn't imagine what he was going through. He probably felt responsible that she had ended up getting hurt. After all he had let her drive the Porsche. It was his Porsche that had practially ran over her. I just wanted to give both Niall and Rachael a big hug.
