The Nice People| Tom holland

♛A friend♛

'Is this the end? Did god finally receive my wishes?'

Surprisingly i smiled lightly before the car collided with me, shooting me far away from it. Everything was blurry. It felt as if I was in heaven for a while. I saw blurry colors together. It was gorgeous. 'Am I in heaven?'

"Hey!! Are you fine? Stay awake I'm gonna call the ambulance!" I heard someone screaming before i blacked out completely.

Tom's pov:-

I saw her body being thrown drastically on the ground. I was frozen for a moment. I didn't know what to do. Chilling memories came to my mind. My nerves stopped and I couldn't do anything.

Until I final took the courage and ran to her. I screamed to her trying to keep her awake as I took my phone out and called the ambulance. "Please. Please. Help us." These were the only words I said before I got questions where were we and I answered them quickly. "Faster please" I threw my phone on the floor.

"Hey! Hey! Wake up! U can't die! Do u understand?? You're stronger than this" I grabbed her bloody face and shook her lightly. No response was giving back. "H-heyday ....can you hear me?" I chocked on my words as my eyes got watery.

'It's the same scene that happened 3 years ago. I lost my...
Mom.'

I was just staring at her. Unable to make words to keep her conscious. "Is she gonna be the second person to die in my hands this way?". All of a sudden she was being carried away inside the ambulance and a woman came to me saying "sir, would you like to enter with us?". I immediately nodded and sat inside the icy,dispiriting car.

-at the hospital-

"Sir, stay outside please. You can't enter the E.R. Just wait outside." The nurse said and hurried inside the E.R. I was at least able to carry myself and sit down. 'Mother...'. Tears fell down my frozen face. 'She's not gonna die right?...and what if she does?...will she see you mom?..'.

Nell's pov:-

"Keep using it!" A Man's voice was echoed in my brain. "She has to make it! Get the oxygen" a women's voice was heard. "She's losing so much blood.Get the extra blood". "Increase the defibrillator". "What about the ECG and EEG?". "She is losing a lot of blood. And her heart beat is getting back slowly doctor". "Exchange the IV with new blood now". The voices were echoing in my head, paining me to no end. Why don't u just let me be? I wanna relax.

I wanted to sleep. Just relax from everything. And so I did. I shut my ears and everything around me. I was at peace.

Tom's pov:-

An hour and a half passed and I was still waiting on my nerves. The E.R door slowly opened and I immediately stood up. I looked at the doctor in a confused way. I didn't know what I was doing in life anymore. I wasn't ready to lose someone again. Especially the way my mom died..

"Don't worry young boy, she's fine. We were able to save her and that's all thanks to her because she's really strong not just physically but heartily." He said patting my weak shoulders. 'Oh...thank god!! Thank you god!! Thank you so much!! You were here with me. With her too. Thank you god.' I cried mentally but replied "thank you doctor" physically.

"Can I see her?" I asked the doctor. "She's not in the best condition now. However, may I ask you some questions?" He replied and asked. I nodded slowly as the doctor sat down next to me. "So how are you related to her?" The doctor asked. "We are not related. I just met her today at the school" I answered truthfully.

"I see...alright do you know anything about her life?" He asked again. "I....I guess she gets abused..?" I answered slowly not quite sure myself. "Mm...she does, young boy. I assume it's her family" the doctor said and my eyes widened. "And how? Why?" I asked stuttering. "When we were putting blood into her body. We saw her body full of bruises and injuries. It seems like she is going through a lot" the doctor looked at me nodding slightly.

'What even? Why would a family do such thing? Can't they see that she is a young girl trying to be happy in life? Does this makes any sense? How miserable her life can get?' I thought. "So about her in school? Does she get bullied?" He asked. "Bullied?! I don't know. I don't think so? I came to school today" I answered kind of shocked yet bluntly.

"Alright. Do you know her name?" He asked again. To come and think about it, I never asked for her name. It seemed like I just enjoyed smiling and talking to her. "No" I answered. The doctor looked shocked but got his emotions back again really quick. "What about her? Does she know your name?" He asked again.

"Yeah. She calls me 'smiling boy'. But I told her my real name." I said smiling slightly remembering the way she called me 'smiling boy?' Earlier. The doctor smiled and nodded. "Well can I ask you for a favor then?" The doctor asked sweetly. I nodded. "Will you stay with her and be her friend? She is going through a lot and she seems like the girl to hide everything under a smile. Will you try and be her friend and try to let her talk about her problems? But you should listen to her without judgements. Can you?" He asked clearly.

"Her friend?" I said. The doctor nodded. "The great thing about new friends is that they bring new energy to your soul" the doctor said slowly patting my shoulder again. "Think about it. You would change a whole person's life. You could go see her now" the doctor said and left.

I stood on my legs and walked inside the Room they led me too. I entered slowly and closed the door behind me. There I saw her. She looks soulless. "Why do you look dead when you're not?" I quietly said and sat on the chair next to her.

'Would you be her friend?' That question kept running in my mind. I looked over at her and she was sleeping peacefully. "Ig I'll call u 'life buddy' then" i smiled slowly and covered her bruised arm with the blanket. I laid my head beside her arms and slept.

'No friendship is an accident.true friend sees the first tear...catches the second....and stops the third. And sometimes being a good friend means saying nothing.'
