And in the morning I'll be with you, but it will be a different kind.

I reached into the glove compartment and pulled out my spare hat and hoodie. I ran after Abilenes parents while putting on the hat and hoodie.

Her mom stopped at the entrance and held a hand out to me. I wrapped my arm around her and she did the same.

Abilene's father was already at the nurses station asking where Abilene is.

"She's in surgery." The nurse replied not looking up.

"What happened to her?" He asked again

The nurse sighed in annoyance. "I really don't know. It's busy around here."

Oh no. This is Abilene. This nurse is going to get so star struck she won't know what hit her.

"Hi. What happened to Abilene Nemazee?"

The nurse looked up at me and froze. "I-Uh-Um..."

I tilted my head forward. "Go on. What happened?"

The nurse looked through more documents until she saw the one she was looking for. "It-It looks like she had mild head trauma and trauma to the chest and abdomen." I nodded curtly and guided Abilene's crying mother to the sitting area. 

"Oh!" she grabbed onto Abilene's father and sobbed. He shed a tear, I'm not going to lie.

Okay I shed a few tears too. Abilene has gone through so much this year. I just wish I treated her better.

I pulled out my phone and called Harry. They had been close, right?

"Harry." I tried to sound like I hadn't been crying.

"Niall what are you calling? It's like early in the morning." his voice was groggy.

"Harry." I could feel the tears fighting me.

"Niall what's wrong?"

"Abilene's been in a crash."

"How bad is it?" I heard rustling and zippers opening.

"Bad."

"Good thing I already started to pack. I'll be there in about 5 hours. I'm in LA."

"Thank you Harry."

"Anytime." The line went dead.

I lied back in the chair and put my hands over my face.

"Niall." Someone shook me. "Niall wake up." I opened my eyes and saw Salma. "Sorry I woke you up."

"How long was I asleep?"

"4 hours. She's not out of surgery yet."

I rubbed my face hoping it would wake me up more. "Has the doctor updated you?"

She shook her head. "Shayan and I are going to get coffee; do you want some?"

"Yes, if it's not a problem."
