PREVIOUSLY:
We wait for another hour in pretty much the same state, myself leaning forward; head in my hands and trying to think positively, and Myles relaxingly drawing circles on my back with his fingertips. Every sound causing me to look up incase of news, every time being unsuccessful. Until eventually at 1am, when all four of us had nearly fallen asleep- a young doctor walks through two big double doors and makes his way over to us.
"I'm sorry for your loss..."

Myles' POV
"I'm sorry for your loss of sleep. We had to check Mr Nolet over and we have decided it's okay for you to see him now." The doctor leads us through to the ward we had been in a few hours ago.
"There has been some internal bruising from the incident but we believe he should be okay. Just don't hug him too tightly." He instructs.
He pulls the curtain back to reveal Briar's dad in his hospital bed, a massive grin on his face.
"My girls!" He extends his arms out as Abbey and Bri rush towards him and hug him.
"Hey hey, not too tightly. I won't be able to breathe!" He jokes around.
I notice my girlfriend's eyes start to fill with tears of happiness, she hadn't seen her father be so cheerful in weeks- and that made her ecstatic. Soon enough, all three of the Nolet girls were crying.
I stood back in the corner and watched the happy scene from afar.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" Tamara (B's mum) asks her husband, kissing him on the cheek.
"I feel a lot better sweetheart. I think I have to stay in here another week though." Alan cups his wife's cheek and strokes her with his thumb.
They continue talking and I eventually zone out.
I only snap back into reality when I hear Bri's dad invite me over. I walk over to him and hold out my hand, waiting from him to shake it; instead, he pulls me in for a hug.
"How are you feeling Mr Nolet?"
"Call me Alan- we're practically family. But yes, I feel loads better thank you Myles."
"Glad to hear it Alan."
I kneel down next to Bri, she smiles as I do this and links our pinky fingers together.
~~~~~~
After a while of talking, Alan tells us that we should go home and sleep- if we wanted to, we could come back in the morning.
"You can come back to ours, Myles." Tamara offers. I nod in return and agree to stay overnight.
A/N: SIKEEEE. Sorry about that guys haha 😂
