Long Lost family - A Harry Styles Story

Chapter 19 - Operations, rehabilitation & Complications

Peyton's POV

This was it, my entire career depended on landing this triple vault without the spring board. I had trained so hard since I was six, I had channeled so much energy pain and anger before selflessly turning it into endless hours of training. Kyle had always stood by my side when it came to my choice of profession, even from the moment that he met me, he was always there to encourage me with every cut, bruise and injury that occurred he only made me stronger.

Taking in countless deep breathes I mentally counted to three. One two three before exhaling then sprinting towards the vault, pulling together every ounce of strength within me it looked as though everything was going to be fine, it seemed as though my feet were heading for the mat and I was confident that I would make the three summersaults. Only my gut was telling me different, within a split second I suddenly heard a loud crack. With adrenaline still pumping vigorously around my fragile body my eyes travelled down to my right knee.

Oh fuck!! Agh you bastard I fucking new this would happen!! I sat there tears streaming down my face as I recognised that me knew was badly broken, as excruciating pain surged through it, as I let out a series of violent screams before turning my head to see Kyle racing to my side, before kneeling next to me I could see the fear in his eyes as he called an ambulance then gently wrapped his body around me as my body shook with pain whilst stroking my hair and telling me everything was going to be all right.

Shots of morpheme were constantly pumped into my arms by paramedics as I kept a strong grip on Kyle's hand as I rested my on Harry's shoulder. Everything had happened so quick now that I actually had time to think about things my heart began racing as my mind began swimming with numerous thoughts. Was I ever going to be able to compete again? Would my career be over? How many operations would I need to actually fix my knee? How long was rehabilitation going to take? Before my train of thoughts had ended we had arrived at the hospital, let the complications begin....

Louis's POV

I pulled Kerrie into me to stop myself shaking uncontrollably, even though I wasn't her biological brother like Harry was I still couldn't stop myself from worrying. As we all made our way to the waiting room, we found out that Peyton had been wheeled straight to theatre two and by the time we had got to the hospital she had been in theatre for a good twenty minutes, god damn traffic lights, you always seem to hit a red light when your in a rush to get some where. Poor Harry looked traumatised as Kyle finished explaining what he had just seen, the poor guy had just watched the proudest moment within his girlfriends career only to watch her break her leg moments later.

As I looked down to check my watch I realised that we had been sat in the waiting rooms for over two and a half hours, I was really worried about Harry he hadn't moved from the same spot once, he just continuously stared at the floor, I was so shocked when he suddenly stood up before storming out of the room. Letting my body take over my train of thoughts I let my legs carry me out of the room and down the corridor that Harry had walked down before stopping myself as I saw his baby sister being wheeled out of theatre still unconscious from the sedation that the surgeon had used it must've been pretty strong, but then again Peyton was a fighter we all knew that after watching her break a girls ribs after she found out that the little bitch had been bullying her best mate Kerrie.

Doctors took Peyton to a private room that Harry had reserved for her once she had been taken to theatre, his green orbs that were his eyes sparkled in the light as tears began to glaze his eyes, his expressions changed when he heard his sister let out a vacant moan. She looked so weak so pale, there was something about her that didn't look right but I didn't say anything cos I kinda guessed she was just drowsy from the operation.

Harry's POV

Seeing her being wheeled out of the operating theatre I got up from where in had been sitting for the last three hours and made my way to the swing doors. Peyton looked so fragile, so weak compared to her feisty little self I kissed her forehead before leaving the room to get Kyle he really wanted to see her he was as devastated as the rest of us, I left him in the room with his little beauty as I went to inquire about the medical bill after all we were in France so this accident was going to come at a costly price but it was my sister so I really didn't care about the bills I just wanted her to be ok.

Looking back down the corridor as I heard a soft voice call my name I saw Charlie walking towards me, a tear in her eyes as I took her into my arms and asked what was wrong.

Baby girl what's wrong?? Why are you crying honey bee? Charlie answered with a shaky tone. " I - I still haven't figured out how to tell you this yet, errr Peyton had woke up and she was calling out yours and Kyle's names, as she was calling you was still really weak and fell asleep but the medication the doctors gave her was that strong she has slipped into a coma. I'm soo sorry Harry I had to come get you straight away "

I couldn't believe it I dropped to my knees and screamed how could this be happening to me I swear I was going crazy I had to be loosing my mind. No Charlie please don't tell me this is actually happening! How the fuck could doctors let this happen!!! By this time I was so angry I let my temper fly as I punched a hole straight through the hospital wall. I could see the fear In Charlie's eyes as Liam enclosed her in his strong arms as Niall and Zayn made a beeline for me restricting my punches by their tight grasp. Get the fuck off me you bastards, get your fucking hands away from me and leave me the fucking hell alone!! I felt so guilty for screaming at the boys and behaving like that in front of my girlfriend but I was just so angry how could the doctors let this happen.

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I hadn't even realised that Kyle had just seen everything and was stood at the end of the corridor with a vacant and worried look on his face as he dropped everything and ran to Peyton's room. Following him I burst through the doors before sitting next to him as he began to speak.

" why is this happening I don't wanna loose her I can't cope with this it's all too much I - I just wanna hold her in my arms and kiss her. For fuck sake damn it she looks so fragile I'm gonna kill the bastard that did this to her!! " it was something that Kyle just said that made me think, in the rush of the moment my thoughts switched to the doctor that did this to her as I looked up at him he looked shocked at my sudden words.

Mate your a genius, your amazing I would've never of thought of that! We're gonna sue the hospital, were gonna do it big time. Kyle's reply was filled with confusion, " what since when did that - ah I get you now so were gonna sue em for putting her in a coma "

As we left the hospital to make our way back to the tour bus I text my lawyer Chrissie letting her know I was gonna give her a call. No one had any ideas as to what was going to turn out we just had to wait. But for now I pulled Charlie into a hug to calm both of us down as Niall drove my car, I was too angry to drive and we didn't need any more of us lying there in a coma.
