Chapter Seven

*Liv's P.O.V*
We all went to maccies this morning for a breakfast. We're so fat like I don't even think I've cooked once since I've been here. Everything was going well so far and we were all talking and having a laugh. It still hadn't kicked in that I finally met the guy I basically had a crush on and by the looks of things Amelia and Rory are getting on very well too. Oops. Bryce had to go as he needed to go and help his mum with some stuff at home so it left me, Amelia, Sophie, Derek, Rory and Mikey in maccies. "Why don't we all go back to mine and Derek's, spend the day in watching movies and have a sleepover?" Sophie said laughing. We all nodded in agreement and stood up picking up our stuff. Sophie, Derek, Amelia and Rory got in Derek's car and me and Mikey got into Mikey's car. We said goodbye to them even though we were seeing them in like 20 minutes and drove off.

"So liv, tell me about yourself. Age? Live? Hobbies? Job?" Mikey asked me whilst concentrating on the road as he was driving. "Well im Liv. I'm 17 and was born in Cali but moved to England when I was 1. Derek's my brother and you probably know what happened. I like to sing, do YouTube and my job is a model, YouTube and singer." I smiled at him even though I knew he couldn't see me. "How about you?" I asked back. "Well, I'm Mikey. I have a sister called Chloe who I haven't seen in about 10 years. I was born and raised in California. I like to do YouTube, social media and that's basically my job too." He smiled. Got he was so cute. I couldn't help but keep smiling at him. We stopped at a set of traffic lights. As the lights hit red he looked at me and spoke. "You've been staring at me this whole journey and also smiling at me." He laughed and I looked away blushing but laughing also. The lights set onto green and Mikey drove focusing his eyes back to the road.

10 minutes later I could hear sirens and screams until finally my eyes came to a close...

-----3HoursLater-----
*Mikey's P.O.V*
Hospitals. Things that a lot of people hate, including myself. It was all my fault. I did this. I hurt her. I hate myself and when she wakes up, I wouldn't blame her for hating me. Id been here 3 hours and was too tired. I lay across the chairs, closed my eyes and dreamt...

As the lights set back to green I set my eyes back onto the road. I could still see Liv staring and smiling at me from the corner of my eye which just made a little smile appear onto my face. From the minute I looked into her eyes as we stopped at the lights I wanted to kiss her. As silly as it sounds I just wanted to grab her face, kiss her and show her how I really felt. But I didn't. One reason being because me being me, I got shy and scared and also because the lights turned onto green before I had the courage to do it. 10 minutes into the drive after we had stopped and I just couldn't help myself. I turned to face her. She was still looking at me. Our eyes met and her bright blue eyes shone brighter than the sun. Her smile as big and as wide as I can even imagine. She was prefect. Everything about her was just perfect. She blinked twice and smiled. I kept my hands on the wheel but my eyes on her. I leant in and so did she. Finally. As we locked our lips together, we kissed. It felt good. In fact, it felt right. All of a sudden I heard horns. Liv pulled away first and looked. "MIKEY!" She screamed hiding her face. As I looked out front I saw that I was almost about to hit a car. So without thinking I span the wheel and we went flying. The car hit a car on its back, leading to my car flipping 3 times before landing on its back. Sirens. Horns. Screams. I opened my eyes after about 5 minutes of being unconscious. I looked around to people calling ambulances and to people scared and frightened. I looked at Liv. Nothing. I tried waking her. Nothing. I looked to her body and it wasn't right. Something wasn't right. What had I done?

"MIKEY WAKE UP!" I jumped. Waking up from my flashback which just seemed more like a nightmare. It was Derek. Fuck. He came over and sat next to me. I told him everything. "It was all my fault Derek." I cried. Something I never do. "Dude." He reassured me by putting a hand to my shoulder. I looked at him. Hurt and upset. Looking at him in a way that I have never looked at someone before. He knew instantly, just by looking at me, that I blamed myself for this. "Mikey, this isn't your fault. Im upset and mad, yes because she's my sister for Christ's sake. But you're my best mate you could have been seriously injured too and also it takes two people for a kiss, not just one." He sighed and stood up. Leaving only his bag and coat, he left to the café and bought myself and him a coffee. I needed it.

*Derek's P.O.V*
In my head was fury. So much anger. But I was upset too. Inside I wanted to hit Mikey. But I couldn't. It's wrong. And it wasn't even all his fault. I needed to be there to comfort him and to be there for my sister. Not to cause anymore shit then there already is. I have never been so scared in my life before. The nurses told us that there was two things that could be to Liv. She will either be paralysed from the waist down or she will have two broken legs, a few broken ribs and a broken arm and be in a wheelchair for a couple of months. So whatever was to happen, it isn't going to be. It has been 1 hour since I came and spoke to Mikey. He was really tired and hadn't tried sleeping since the nightmare. They wouldn't let any of us see her until she was stable enough and until they had run tests.

I stayed strong. Well I tried to stay strong for her and Mikey's sake. My head eventually began spinning. Thoughts whizzed through my mind. Questions in every section of my head. 'Will she die?' 'Will she be okay?' 'Will she ever be able to walk again?' A headache appeared, alongside me panicking. I couldn't catch my breath and I couldn't think straight. People were talking to me. People were trying to help me but nothing was working. According to one person I was having a panic attack. Then I just blocked out. My head span. My eye sight got blurry. I started struggling to breathe. That happened for about 10 minutes before I suddenly got calmed and looked to a nurse handing me water. "You're going to be ok. You had a panic attack. Everything will be okay." But the real question was 'will it really be ok?'.

OKAY I AM SO SO SO HAPPY WITH THIS CHAPTER OMG WTF OKAY. So anyway lol just so you don't get confused, I may be doing the next chapter a bit differently. I haven't decided yet but if I do then im going to do it as Liv's p.o.v but it's going to be whilst she's in a coma. So it's going to be like all in her head? I just thought Id let you guys know so you didn't get confused aha. I hope you like this chapter! Please vote and comment what you thought of this chapter J
