From The Crowd (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 16- Why me

“Dad..Dad…Dad” I shouted through the phone feeling inpatient.

“Mum, Has been in a car accident, She is in hospital.”

“What, she’s okay….Right “

“Well the doctor said she will be in hospital...Look Viv its hard to explain on the phone”  Dad said nearly crying, I know something was happening that I didn’t really want to know.

“I will come now, I’m finishing earlier anyway at collage” I said running out of college.  I hang up the phone and rushed  to the hospital what was 10 minutes’ walk away.

I arrived and saw my Dad waiting for me, standing in front of reception doors.

“Dad, I want to see Mum” I straggled to talk as I was out of breath running the way here.

My Dad took my hand and walked me to the Mum hospital room. It wasn’t the nicest  looking room to be in. There were 10 other people in the room, all had wires attached to them, it was horrible to look at.

There I turned and saw my own Mum lying there with wires and all scary looking machines, She looked pale and sick. I never liked seeing any of my parents sick but this was different, it likes she was dying from the outside.

“Hello, you must be Steph Hall Daughter” A nurse said handing me her hand to shake

“Yes I’m Vivi, Is there any news” I asked the nurse

“Yes we would like to talk to you and your Dad, Is that okay”

“Yes of course” We walked out of the room, I felt so nervous and scared.

We both sat down on a sofa and the nurse sat in front of us.

“I don’t know how to say this..but she will be in hospital for a while.

I sat there listening to every word, I didn’t like how this was going.

“What happen Dad, you never told me” I asked nearly crying

“Mum was on her way to Sally’s house and she lost control of the wheel and drove into a pole and the car tipped over.”

I looked at him with tears stemming down my face, why did this happen to her.

The nurse but her hand on my shoulder

“What is actually wrong with her” I asked

“She has a broken leg, she’s very bruised in a lot of places...and  she sadly has Spinal Cord Injuries.  She cant feel anything from her waist, but she can gain it back in time.

“What about if It never comes back” I asked the nurse freaking myself out

“I don’t know, she will be in a wheel chair but we will try everything we can. We will have to look after her right leg as its broken so that doesn’t help.”

“How long will she be in hospital for” My dad asked looking like her just seen a ghost

“Minimum is 3 month but if she improve quick not as long, but keep praying for her” The nurse said getting up and walking away

I looked at Dad, a tear trickled down  his face. I couldn’t help but cry.

Its been around 5 hours till I heard the news about my Mum. I was calm but the one person I wanted hasn’t even text me. Louis I really need him, I want him. It isn’t fair his so far away from me.

My phoned buzzed in my pocket, Maybe it was Louis.

I slowly picked the phone out my pocket and look at the text I got, but without knowing who it was I read the text.
