Falling In The Wrong Direction

Out like a light....

Alfie's P.O.V
I don't think there is anything I can do! She is laying there in the road, just us two together.
From a distance I could see two magnificently bright head lights from a car in the distance so I immediately took off my top because that's all I had with me, I started waving it in the air rapidly! I was going to get my little one safe in hospital. The car was coming towards us, quicker and quicker now, coming so close I could almost make out the number plate. I was getting more and more determined to get Emma to safety, she was still breathing but not for long! Jumping in front of the road I yelled "Stop!" At the top of my voice. The car immediately came to a halt, shouting back "What do you think you're doing in the middle of the road."

"I need a lift to the nearest hospital, my.... Erm....my friend, we're just friends. But she has been hit by a car out here in the middle of no where, hurry!"

"Lift her in, I'll go as quick as possible"

I would have just rang for an ambulance but there was absolutely no signal!

"Thank you so much" I said whilst lifting Emma in my arms. The car set off and I was sat in the back seat with Emma laid with her head on my knee asleep, or so I thought....

As we went over a bump I felt Emma move, it's just my imagination.

"Aaa" I heard a voice from somewhere in the car. I immediately asked the person driving if it was him who spoke, it wasn't him. I curled my fingers around Emma's hand, holding on to her as tight as possible.

"Emma, I hope your going to be ok" I said.
I lifted her hand towards me and gently kissed her on the hand, she definitely moved this time.

"Emma! Emma, wake up! Emma, wake up, you can do it!" I shouted whilst tears formed in my eyes and started to climb down my face, getting faster and faster.

"Aaa" I heard Emma whisper gently.

"Emma, are you ok. Can you hear me?" I asked whilst panicking terribly.

"What's happening? Let me sit up" She asked, worried sick.

"It's ok Emma, we're going to the hospital for a check up." I told her calmly so that she didn't panic whilst sitting her up and leaning her against me.

"I asked what's happening?"

"We're on our way to the hospital Emma"

"Don't call me that please" She said worrying me sick.

"What should I call you?" I asked.

"My name"

"That is your name, Emma"

"It's not!" She said in more than a whisper.

I was afraid I would worry her and make her stress so I decided to agree with her to make her feel better about the whole thing.

"What's your name, driver?" I asked puzzled.

"Erm....ermm....my name is....ermmm...." The driver stuttered.

"You don't even know your name?"

"Well....yeh, I do but....yeh"

"Who are you" I asked worryingly. The driver had no clue who he was.

He pulled over, I knew it was a bad idea getting in a strangers car. Slowly turning around to face me he pulled his cap from his head.

"Caspar! You found us"

"You told me where you were so I came to find you, luckily just at the right time too!"

"Keep driving then, Emma has hit her head pretty hard" I said.

"Who is this Emma?" Emma asked.

"Shhh, go to sleep. You need rest, we are almost there" I said trying to calm Emma.

When Emma had been asleep for 30mins we arrived at the nearest hospital, I didn't bother waking her. I lifted her into my arms whilst Caspar went to find someone who could get us to see a nurse straight away! It's her birthday in 2 days and she's just almost died.

When Caspar told the nurse what had happened she sent her straight to the X-Ray room to see if there was any damage to her body. Even if she was in pain she wouldn't tell me, that's just what she's like although she doesn't even know who she is now.

"What do you want to do to me?" Emma asked worryingly.

"We just need to give you some check ups from your accident Miss Barns."

"Miss Barns?" Emma said.

"Never mind Miss. Please could you lower her onto this table so I can put the machine over her"
The nurse said looking at me.

I lowered her onto the table and told Caspar to watch her whilst I talked to the nurse in private.

Caspar's P.O.V

I had to go and find Alfie and Emma, luckily I was just in time to save the day.

Emma was laying on the X-Ray table looking at me, not knowing what to say to me and not knowing who I was. Tears started to form in my eyes, this was ALL my fault. My little sister was laying on an X-Ray bed and she was innocent of all of it! Alfie came back into the room and his face was down as ever.

The X-Ray machine scanned the whole of Emma's body, she had fell to sleep again in the last 5 mins of been here, although there was loads of beeping and voices around the room.

There was nothing anyone apart from nurses could do to help her. So when she got took to a bed for the night and had all sorts of drips in her and pipes coming here to there, me and Alfie decided to use our huddies as cushions and sleep next to Emma on a chair. I doubt she will be out for her birthday in 2 days, I just hope she wakes up and everything comes flooding back to her mind. Although I unfortunately know that that could never be true....
