Don't be Upset

Those Cold Days

Chapter 23: Those Cold Days

Hannah's POV

It's been a week since the last time I saw Niall and Carson. I have gotten texts from Reid but not about Niall. It's still snowing. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and Izzy and I have our Christmas present for each other. I went with her to get mine cause I couldn't leave her alone in a store where her cuteness could her takin away. So she got me new boots I wanted. Combat boots that are chocolate colored. I really like them. But she knew that.

Izzy likes to ride with me in the front so I let her sit in the front but if I see a cop come, I tell her to lean forward so they couldn't see her. I gave her my phone so she could play a game an I turned on the radio and one of Niall's songs came on. Harry wrote it. I really liked it. It's called Happily and I turned it up. I got the chorus down and started singing with it. I don't know why, cause I never sing.

I don't care what people say when were together

You know I want to be the one to hold you I'm your sleep

I just want it to be you and I forever

I know you wanted me so come and baby be with me so Happily

The song ended and I heard my phone drop in the car floor and then hands clapping. I look over at Izzy looking at me with a big smile on her face.

"Hannah your really good!"

"Well thank your Izzy!"

"Why don't you sing more? You never sing unless your upset, or... Well, when your all alone."

I look back at her. Her sparkling eyes in the sun, her hair glowing.

"I sing when I'm all alone? How would you now that? I'm alone!" Playing around with her.

"I'm just really quiet. I like hearing your voice."

"Well thank you."

We get home and right when the door shuts, we hear a... BOOOOM!

Izzy screamed and ran over to me. She hugged my leg and she was huffing cause she's out of breath I guess.

"Hannah tell the thunder to go away!"

"I can't do that! Nature dose what it wants to. But you can call Mother Nature if you want."

Well I guess she took my seriously. She went on the home phone and she called mom. She didn't answer. Not surprising. She never has time for us. Izzy gets upset over that, but I don't.

Another crash comes an the rain came down. Lightning came around and Izzy ran to my room. I ran up there with her cause to be honest, I was a little scared to. You can't judge me.

(Later that stormy night)

It's been 2 hours and the storm hasn't settled down yet. Izzy got used to it and she was walking around my room, knocking stuff down from the shelves.

"Izzy stop it! NOW!" But she knocked off some boxes. Gosh she can be the most annoying person ever!

"Sorry Hannah!!"

"It's fine. Help me pick this stuff up."

She was picking up the little things and she stopped.

"Izzy why did you stop!?" She handed me a picture of Niall, Jack, Reid and I when we are freshman year. I had my 2nd set of braces, Reid had his glasses and Jack had on his favorite shirt. Blue plaid short sleeved shirt on.

"Why don't you hang this up?"

"Cause Izzy. I forgot I had this picture. It was my favorite picture from freshman year. I was planning on it being hung up. I guess I never got to it"

She handed it to me and I put it in the box. There was nowhere I could hang it.

We were done cleaning up my room an we laid on my bed. The lights went out and Izzy grabbed my arm. It was a good 10-15 minuets until they came back on. When they came back on, I got a call.

It's was my mom.

"Hello?"

"Hannah! I need you!" She sounded like she was in pain!

"What it it?"

"Dad and I where driving down the street yelling at each other..." Not suprised!

"And dad wasn't looking at the road and a truck came and ran into us!"

"Where are you?"

"377 south!"

I was out I my house when she said 'driving' cause I never trusted my parents driving in the same car.

"Hannah! Where are you going?"

"It's where we are going. Come on!"

We ran out to the car and drove as fast as we could in the rain. I see lights and an ambulance! I ran out of my car leaving it still on. I didn't care if it was going to die. My dad was going to probably die! I run and see my mom.

"Mom! Where is he?"

"He's in the ambulance! We got to get out of here! Now!"

We drove to the hospital with the ambulance and I saw my dad. Bloody, and eyes closed, and covered in cuts.

It was around 9:30pm at this time. I can't believe my dad is going to die or stay alive.

(12:30am. Still at hospital)

We have been here waiting for the news from the doctor. It's been 3 hours and the doctor comes out to talk to me.

"You should go get some sleep."

"Is he going to be okay doctor?"

"It's hard to tell. He's in surgery. He's been there since he's been here."

"When can we see him?"

"Oh not for a while. But I have some questions for you."

"Where's your note pad to take these answers?" Me being un-patient.

"No note pad. So 1st question."

"Here we go!"

"Dose your dad drink?"

"Sometimes when was at home. He's usually not home. He's out."

"Did your dad ever hit you?"

I then remembered when I was yelling at him for being mean to Izzy.

"I was in the living room and my dad was yelling at Izzy for not cleaning up the kitchen when she was only 6 years old. I go in the kitchen to see what the problem really was. My dad said 'hannah get out of here!' I ran over to my little sister to run her out of there. I got her out but my dad grabbed my hand and I turned around and he punched me. I ran out before he could do it again. It was only last year." I felt a tear go down my face.

"Thank you Hannah." Then the doctors left.

(Next day. Christmas Eve)

I stayed the night with my sister and mom. I woke up around 6:30am then around 7:45ish the doctor came out. My mom woke up and so did my sister. The doctor told me what happened.

She was quiet about it but, I could hear her say...
