Little White Lies (Harry Styles)

Chapter 9

I dropped to my knees as I saw his body on the floor, my poor grandfather.

'Gramps? Are you awake' My cheeks streamed with tears as I managed to muffle out small peircing words between breath. After a few seconds I decided to start shaking him silently.

'Gramps wake up, come on, don't leave me please' This time louder, i'm begging him if he can hear me. He can't leave me here, what am I supposed to do!

'Ambulance, ambulance' I mutter to myself as I sramble around the living room to find my purse. After rummaging through it and pulling out my black Iphone, I dialled 999. Was that even right? I'm not sure, i'm not really used to asking for help but when it comes to the one person I have left, it's my last resort.

'Hello'? I shout eagerly into the phone.

'Yes, ambulance please!' I say quickly.

After telling the woman on the end of the line my address, I hang up, turning my attention to my grandfather. Who, thankgod, is  breathing. Although that doesn't stop me from freaking out.

After a few minutes which felt like hours, the ront door opened and in came a few paramedics. 

My first instinct was to help them but I was soon pulled back by my arms which only scared me more.

'Tell me he's going to be okay' I shout at the young man pulling me away from the hustle going on in the middle of the livingroom.

'Yes, yes, he's going to be fine. Just give them some space, they know what they're doing' He says calmly.

'Pfft, anyone would think you're trying to reassure me!' My sass still intact as I shrug his hand off my shoulder and make my way to the dining table to take a seat.

Just when I thought he'd bothered me enough, here the paramedic was again.

'Your grandfather will be fine, he had a minor concussion and the condition he's in at the moment obviously didn't help the situation. He's going to have to stay in hospital for a few days until he recovers properly' 

Great

'Is there anywhere you can stay for the weekend?'

Just as I was about to say no, my brain that hardly ever seems to work reminded me that if I don't have anywhere to stay, they'll send me home, or maybe put me in care for a few days and I can't be dealing with that.

'Yeah' I reply

'Okay great, well we hope to see you soon.' He says, as he walks out. My gramps is awake now but they've already taken him out to the ambulance before I could get a word in edgeways. Thanks for that!

I guess this is alright considering I don't have to worry about feeding my granddad or telling him if i'm going out. I've basically got the whole weekend to myself. What to do though.

As if on cue, my phone lit up. 

 From Ronnie

Hey hun, want to grab lunch today. I want you to meet some people aswell 

As Much as I hate meeting people, I don't want to be couped up in this tiny house all day. I guess meeting a few more people couldn't hurt and it's not like meet Sophia was a mistake, and I met her through Ronnie so I guess this is okay.

To Ronnie

Sure, when and where 

I ran up the stairs, two at a time. I guess I'm quite excited to meet some new people. It could give me a whole new outlook on the whole 'Holmes Chapel' place. I hopped in the shower and washed and conditioned my hair before stepping out and wrapping a towel round my body.
