"Simon's P.O.V" (just to mix it up :P)

Seeing Emily's face through the phone call made my heart melt. Just two minutes ago she was the happiest she's been in a long time. Her brown curly hair pulled up into a hair bobble, sitting on her shoulders bouncing around as she was laughing with Vikk. I knew the phone call sounded serious, i didn't want to ruin her happiness but apparently it was urgent. She was so happy with keeping to herself and now she's got her arms around my waist, crying ever so slightly. Her small tears slowly creating a wet patch on my chest. The hardest part is I don't even know why she's crying. I don't even know what's going on at all.

Vikk dropped what he has in his hands and looked in or direction. I gave him a look as if to say "I don't know mate,"

"I need to go," Emily chocked out her words, her hands rested on my chest as she pushed away.

"What's going on?" Vikk questioned, coming to stand by us.

"Josh has been in a car accident." She breathed out. For a mid second, my heart stopped. "But he's okay, they said it wasn't serious. But you know, still has me worried,"

"Right, I'm driving," Vikk announced. I didn't protest, he walked into the kitchen, picking his keys up. Me and Emily followed him out of the front door, which I locked behind me. I got in the back seat of Vikks car, next to her. Emily pulled the hood of her black sidemen hoodie over her head and rested against the window. This is the only time that I have not known what to do in a situation like this. At this moment, I don't know what to do. Do I hug her? Do I tell her everything will be fine? Because I know some people don't like the sympathy, but I don't know if Emily is one of them.

''I need to let everyone else know,'' Emily murmoured, taking her phone out of her pocket.

''You phone JJ and Harry, I'll phone Ethan, if he's not with Tobi then i'll phone Tobi too,'' I said, making the whole situation of letting everyone know slightly easier. "I'll phone Freya too because God knows if they have let her know if you're the first contact,"

''Thank you,'' She mouthed to me as she put her phone to her ear. It's amazing how slow time can drag when you're not wanting to go somewhere. My Mum used to call it the 'Time Genie'. When you are having fun and enjoying what you are doing, then time will go quickly because you don't want it too. But, if you want time to hurry, if you don't want to be somewhere or you don't want to get there, then your time with drag. This is one of those moments.

I phoned Ethan quickly to let him know what's happened and where we are going, he is with Tobi and Freezy so he let both of them know. Emily said that she phoned JJ and he wasn't with any of the others so she Phoned Harry aswell. They all said that they will meet us there when they can and as soon as possible.

*Emily's P.O.V*

The fact that Josh is okay has settled my emotions. It was just the initial shock of being told that your brother has been in an accident that sent my emotions overboard. I am literally so so close to Josh and if anything serious did ever happen my whole world would fall apart. He's been my rock ever since I left home and thanks to him I have gained so many great friends and a whole new career out of it. I never thought I would be in the position I am in now and it's all thanks to Josh and the boys, it's changed my life for the good. All I want to do is prove people wrong and prove that I have actually got somewhere with my life and I'm doing what i quite honestly love to do.

The drive to the hospital is dragging so much. I think it's the fact that I want to get there quickly which is making me think that it's dragging. The time genie as Simon would say. Vikk has the soft sound of Ed Sheeran flowing through his car speakers which is making me calm down even more. Simon keeps looking over at me to see if I am okay, which is reassuring because I know how much he cares about all of us.

Photograph has to be my favourite song by Ed Sheeran, the lyrics and the tune of the song just make goosebumps rise to the surface of my arms and make my body tingle. Music is a getaway.

We pull up to the hospital car park and Vikk gets out to go and get a ticket. I mentally remind myself to give him the money to pay for it once we get out. I can see Freya already stood at the entrance of the hospital waiting for us, I quickly tell Simon that I'm heading over there to see her. He nods his head and gets out the car aswell, as I go over to freya he goes to Vikk.

"Are you okay?" I ask her, she doesn't respond, her arms open and I'm engulfed in a hug.

"I'm just worried," she manages to speak out, almost inaudible.

"They said he's okay. He's probably just a bit shook up and has a few bruises, I guess it's really lucky because he could have been so much worse off," I reply, rubbing a hand up and down her back. "We'll just wait for Simon and Vikk to come back from the car then we'll go in and see him. Everyone else said that they will meet us in the waiting area,"

She pulled away from me and wiped her eyes quickly. I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for the worst even though I know that's not possible.

"Erm, I'm here to see my brother," I breathed out, looking in the receptionists direction. "Josh Zerka," she nodded her head and pushed her glasses closer to her face. I can tell she loves her job. Not. The sigh that she let off when I walked up to the desk displayed how she feels about her job.

"Room 6," she said glumly. I nodded my head and said a small thank you before looking around to see if there is any directions leading to a room 6.

Hospitals are not my favourite place at all. You always think the worst when you are brought into hospital or when you go to see someone. I guess if you are having a baby or you're going to visit someone who's just had surgery to change their life for the good and you know that they're alright in advance, I guess that's a good feeling. But in the emergency service area, it's always crazy. Some people come in with the small sprained wrists and some come in if they have been hit by a car. There's a vast difference. But when you know that you're coming to see if a loved one is okay, the nerves and pain that you feel are insane. It's an emotional whirlwind.
There is a old man in the corner with what looks like his grandson, he's sat with him whilst he reads a book. I can tell that the man is trying not to cry by the way he keeps looking around the room and squeezing his eyes shut every so often. A few times he's brought his hand up to his eyes as a few stray tears have escaped. Whatever their story is I really hope they're okay.

I guess Josh has had it lucky. The outcome to this could be so so so much worse than what it is.

"Are you coming in with me?" I turned around and asked Freya. "You don't have to if you don't want too,"

"Erm no I think I'll wait here, you can go and see him first. I don't want to see him yet if he's too bad." I nodded understandingly. I can see where's she's coming from, even I don't want to do this right now but he's my brother and it's the right thing to do. I took a deep breath again before nodding my head in the direction of the door.

"Wait, do you want me to come with you?" I turned around to see Simon. His hair is standing up on edge, like he's just pushed his hand through it. He is stood with his hands in his pockets, rolling backwards and forwards on the balls of his feet. He has stood up away from the rest of everyone else. They're all sat on the blue and white chairs in the waiting room. "I didn't know if you'd want someone else in there with you seen as Freya said no,"

"You can if you want. I guess it will help calm my nerves," Simon smiled, placing his hand on the small of my back as he followed me down the corridor, looking for room 6. My breathing hitched in my throat as I noticed room 6 getting closer into my view.

"It's okay, I'm here." Simon said reassuringly staying behind me and keeping his hand on my back as I got closer to the door.

"Thank you," I breathed out. I slowly pushed the door open, the light pushed through the door as I opened it, inside the room seeming more bright than the outside. That's reassuring.
