Nialls POV:
I remained there for a few moments holding her fragile hand that wasn't surrounding by a cast. She looked so weak. I want to help her, I need to help her! I just met her but she's so friendly and outgoing, she fits in perfectly with our group. I don't ever wanna see her go now. After around 25 minutes of admiring her small, hurt body I leaned down, placing an encouraging kiss on the back of her hand.
Suddenly I heard beeping. "Oh sh*t! what'd I do!" I mumbled under my breath.
I Immediately stood up, scared of what's happening next. Nurses rushed in through the door beginning their work with the machines surrounding Amber as I stood there, frozen. One middle-aged nurse led me out the door, explaining what happened in a very calming tone. After a few minutes I began to absorb the information she was spitting out "... Love, are you listening?" she asked, concerned.
"Oh yeah yeah yeah sorry, I was just in a bit of shock that's all, I'm sorry what were you saying?"
"Well, I was saying that Amber is alright she just woke up that's all. I led you out here into the hall because we prefer not to have famiy members or friends of any kind in the room when patients are coming to, for their benefit" she repeated in the calmest tone possible.
"Ok but can I ask why?"
"Well until the patient is conscious we have no way of determining the severity of the damage to her head. Therefore, we aren't sure what to expect and the results of their arousal can be quite shocking to their loved ones" she explained, giving me a warm smile.
"Ok, do you know when I'll be able to see her?"
"It will probably be a while, can I lead you out to the waiting room?" she offered.
"Uh no that's alright, I have another friend I need to go back and see, thanks for the help". I made my way out the doors and down the hall to Brooke's room. I walked in the room, being sure to paint a smile on, careful not to worry her.
"How is she?" Brooke and Harry asked simultaneously.
"She's okay, I was only in their a few minutes before she began to awaken, and I had to leave. But don't worry, they assured me she was fine" I beamed down at her.
"Oh I hope so" she said with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah well we can go back to see her in a bit, shouldn't be too long".

After waiting around 2 hours in Brooke's room, the same nurse from earlier knocked, offering to take both me and Harry back to Amber.
"Y'all go ahead" Brooke smiled "I want to make double sure she's gonna be okay".
Harry smiled "okay you sure you're gonna be ok though?"
"Positive" she smiled as Harry kissed her atop her head.
We made our way down the hall and back through the large, automatic doors. Once the nurse swiped her card, we were free to enter Amber's room. Alerting her "Heyyyy" she smiled softly at the two of us "How are y'all?"
I laughed "How are we?! How are you missy?"
"Oh!" a look of pain covered her face a she tried to position herself to see us better "ugh! Well I guess I've been better."
"Yeah, do you need anything?" Harry offered.
"No I think I'll be okay, um is Brooke alright?" she asked, worried.
"Yeah luckily for her she made it out better than you did, do you know what happened?" he asked.
"Uh" she thought for a moment "Well I remember her having a seizure and I tried to grab the wheel I really did but she fell on it and it all just happened so fast and before I knew what was even happening we were crossing over to the wrong side a-" I cut her off, not letting her go on any further.
"Shhhhhhhhh" I quieted her, now at her bedside, "it's not your fault at all, it's not anyone's fault ok?" she nodded, letting me know that she understood. "Be careful, you don't need to move your head love".
"Why?" she asked confused.
"Well you got torn up pretty bad in the wreck. The doctor said you have a broken disc in your neck, a broekn hand, a concussion, and a punctured lung" she looked over her body, making sense of all her symptoms.
"Oh ok? So what does that mean?" she asked concerned.
At that moment Dr. Montgomery walked in the room "Hello Amber, I'm Doctor Montgomery and I will be taking care of you during your time here" she gave him a weak smile as he patted her on the shoulder.
"She was just asking what her future looks like in terms of her health" Harry explained.
"Ok well you're going to be just as good as you were before so dont worry about a thing. You are going to have to have surgery on your neck" a look pain and worry immediately covered her face "Oh don't worry dear, it's a very simple surgery only taking about 40 minutes. We will use a small scope, only leaving a small hole instead of an incision. Your recovery time for that will only be a couple of days and to give you even more comfort your parents along with Mr. and Mrs. Collins are on their way to London now. The Collins and I are very well acquainted colleagues, and they have requested to do the surgery themselves." She began to give a week smile. "And as for the hand it will take about 3 weeks to heal. I am giving you medicine for your lung, hand, and concussion, and you will be able to go home in a couple of days hopefully.
"Wow that's a lot to take in" she laughed, overwhelmed.
"Yes it is, aymore question before I go?" he smiled.
"No sir, thank you" she smiled as he walked out.
"Ugh this is gonna be a long few days" she groaned.
