Issy’s P.O.V.

What have I just seen? I ran as fast as I could to my car. I could hear Olly’s shouts until they became distant. I got in my car, and drove away. How could he do this? How could he kiss another..girl. Déjà vu. I was wiping the tears from my eyes, trying to keep my eyes focused on the road, but they kept going out of focus. I should have stopped, but I didn’t. I was determined to keep going. My phone kept ringing, all Olly. My phone dropped on the floor. Ugh. The road looked pretty empty. I leant down to get my phone; I was literally there for 2 seconds. I looked up, and saw bright lights coming towards me, I tried to swerve, but I couldn’t. I just sat there, looking at the oncoming truck coming towards me.

I woke up in a room to which I was not familiar with. It wasn’t my room, it wasn’t Olly’s room. My eyes felt heavy, but I lifted them. I looked around, the walls were white, my bed was white, the duvet was white. Where was I? I looked down at my arm and saw needles, and injections, and wires. Was I in hospital? I started to panic. I ripped my oxygen mask off and tried to move my legs, but I couldn’t. It was like I had 1000 bricks laying on top on them. I just couldn’t move them. This made me panic more. I started hyperventilating. My eyes suddenly closed. I felt someone put the oxygen mask back on me. Shaking me. My eyes fluttered open, and I saw 2 doctors around my, on either side, with Olly and Mum at the end of the bed, holding each other, looking, worried. “Good afternoon, Isabella.” One of the doctors said, smiling at me. I took the oxygen mask off to talk, but nothing came out. I couldn’t talk. He put it back on me and opened his mouth to talk. “Isabella, my name is Dr Coulson and this is my colleague, Dr Hanes.” The other doctor, who was younger, about 25, smiled at me. Oh my god he was hot. “3 months ago, you were in a car crash. I won’t go into too many details as you’ve just woken up, but you had serious head injuries, that we had to operate on, and your body was pretty damaged. I will go into it further soon, but it’s a lot for you to take it. In result of your head injuries, some of your memory may be damaged, so I will get someone in later to talk to you.” He rubbed my shoulder and turned around to leave. Dr Hanes just stood above me, looking into my eyes. “You’ve got beautiful eyes.” He said, before turning and following Dr Coulson. I smiled, and rubbed my head. As soon as they left, my mum came hurrying over. “Oh Issy! How could this happen to my beautiful girl?” she said, crying, and hugging me at the same time. I put my arm around her, but it felt heavy like the other parts of my body. I could hardly hold my head up. I looked over at Olly, who had been crying. He had his arms crossed the whole time, staring at me. He was biting his nails. “I’ll leave you two kids for a bit, I love you” she kissed me on the head and left the room. I held my hand out, and he came and grabbed it. “this is all my fault, Issy! I’m so sorry! I can’t believe it! I love you so much, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me and-“ I cut him off, and kissed him. “You can explain everything later.” I said, he looked down at me and smiled. “I thought I lost you, not just as my girlfriend, but out of my life. I thought you..” he swallowed the lump in his throat, “died.” I shook my head. “Not yet, Murs.” My head fell back onto the cushion. Olly kissed my hand and began singing;

“The day news came, my best friend died
my knees went weak and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes”

I lifted my head, and smiled at him. He put his head up to my face, and kissed me. He pulled away, but I kept my hand on his face. “You’re my world.” I said to him, leaning my head back. “I love you, Isabella.” I heard him say, until I dozed off and fell asleep.

Olly’s P.O.V.

“Olly? Olly sweetie?” someone was tapping me on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw Issy’s mum looking down at me. “W-what happened? Is Issy okay?” I quickly jumped up, to see Issy still sleeping, with her hand attached to mine. I sigh of relief escaped my mouth. “Doctor’s going to be here in 5 minutes, just wanted to wake you up.” “thank you, Esmé” she nodded. “Olly, when was the last time you went home? I mean, to my house?” I thought for a while. I shrugged my shoulders as I really couldn’t remember. I spent most of the days at the hospital with Issy. I even postponed the Australia tour, I couldn’t leave her. “You really do love her, don’t you?” She said to me, I nodded, and kissed Issy’s hand. I did love Issy. I loved Isabella. The two doctors, Dr Coulson and Dr Hanes, came in. “Good morning.” Issy’s eyes opened at his words. “Mmhm.” She said. I looked over at the doctors, only to notice that Dr Hanes eyes were focused on Issy. Issy’s eyes were focused on him. He was smiling at her, she was smiling at me. “Isabella, a doctor will be coming to talk to you in a minute about your legs. You may have noticed that they are very heavy, that’s just an effect of the accident. And they haven’t been active in 3 months. I hope you’re feeling better.” She nodded, and shook Dr Coulson’s hand. Dr Hanes came over to shake her hand. “Call me Mark.” She laughed as he winked, and she shook his hand. “Bye, Mark.” She said, laughing. I felt like I was going to punch him. But I resisted the urge and took my hand away from Issy’s, and walked out without any words.
