Why Can't We Be Like Them?

.9.

Nash's POV

I took Ali to a small restaurant a couple of miles away from home. We had a small table and view of the mountains, it was perfect.

Last week I had asked Ali to be my girlfriend but today I wanted to do it officially in a nice place, unlike the bedroom where I first asked her.

Our food had just arrived and we were eating spaghetti bolagnase.

"Ali, I know I asked you last week but.." I drop down on one knee and say "Ali will you officially again be my girlfriend?"

At that moment our phones both ring at the same time.

Ali answers first and she immediately lets out a strangled sob.

I answer the phone and Cameron is calling

"mate why didn't you pick up your phone?"

"sorry I was with Ali on a date"

"well sorry to ruin it but Hailee's in the hospital, we found her near matts house covered in blood and with pieces of glass in her everywhere"

oh shit

"Oh My Gosh is she alright?"

"Mate do you really think she's ok?"

"ok sorry I guess Shawn just told Ali?"

"yeah, we are at the hospital now"

"ok see you there"

Ali was in tears and I grabbed her into my arms as we made our way out, I put the food on my tab as I come so often.

We got into the car and drove straight to the hospital.

---------------------------------------

Cameron's POV

We are in the hospital now, we weren't allowed to see Hailee. Man I've been such a dick to her, I mean who could have done this - did she do it to herself?

My thoughts were interrupted by Shawn running through the hospital door

"is she ok?" he spoke out of breath from running

"I don't know" I replied

Most of the boys were here, some were in the canteen or calling their parents.

we hadn't known the two girls long but it was like all the boys had known her for years, especially Shawn.

Pretty sure the rest just likes her and wanted to be there for her. pfft.

Ali's POV

I can't believe I let this happen, it's my fault. I wasn't there I was with Nash so much and I just forgot about her! I wonder what happened.

As we arrived I ran into the hospital running over to shawn and the guys.

"where is she?" I cried

"She is in surgery, she kept calling for you" Cameron said

I took out my phone seeing 14 missed calls from her

"Shawn what happened?" I asked

"she called me saying something about her mum and then was going on about you and something in her arm and she could barely speak so I called an ambulance and asked Cameron who was near and at Matt's house to go and check her out" Shawn spoke

"and she has pieces of glass stuck in her everywhere covered in blood, she kept screaming and then she collapsed in my arms" cameron finished

I let out a loud sob and clung to Nash who wrapped his arms around me and rocked me.

"Hailee Greene?" a nurse called and we all stood

"Could I speak with a member of family please?" she said eying us all and I immediately got up and went to the nurse

"hi are you related to Ali?" she looked at me questioningly

"no but I'm the closest thing she has got, her father died and mums and Alcoholic and she has no relatives so I really take care for her"

"ok and where you there when the ambulance came and the young men found her?"

"no I wasn't"

"so you don't know how the glass got in her, we know it couldn't have been done herself or by accident, do you know anyone"

"no idea" I say not mentioning her mother

"ok so we managed to remove most of the glass but one big bit got stuck into her head and it was harder to remove, when in surgery she started thrashing around so we had to knock her unconscious, you can see her now but we are going to take her for a brain scan later to see if she damaged the brain"

"thank you doctor" i said and went back to Nash

"we can see her but they had to knock her unconscious"

The boys immediately run for the halls trying to find her - hang on they don't even know her. Maybe....nah

We knew the door number so we walked and went inside. When I saw Hailee I gasped. Her face covered in dried blood and scars, her body so pale and lifeless as I took a seat.

"I'm so sorry Hailee it's all my fault"
