Behind the Scenes

Accident

At her words my heart stopped and I felt like I’d been hit in the gut.

“An accident? What happened?” I said shakily and Niall gave me another questioning look

“He was on his way home from a soccer game and his car was hit by a transport.” Judline told me

“How is he?” I managed to choke out

“He had a couple of broken ribs, a broken leg, a collapsed lung, and a bad concussion, but he’s conscious and asking for you.” She told me

“Can I talk to him?” I asked

“Hold on,” She told me and I heard some shuffling on the other end. I turned to Niall and told him quickly what I knew and he immediately came over to give me a hug.

“Hullo?”I heard a gravelly voice said into the phone

“Curtis?” I asked

“Hey Hannah.” He replied

“Oh my god, are you alright? That’s a stupid question, of course not! How are you feeling? Another stupid question, you’re feeling like crap!” I rambled

“Hannah, stop, I’m ok. I’m lucky to be alive, but I’m ok.” He said

“I should be there.” I whispered

“Hannah, no. Do not come home, you can’t help over here.” He told me

“I can’t be over here when you’re in the hospital!” I said back

“Hannah, you will not come home, alright? You being here won’t do anything and I won’t have another person hovering over me worriedly!” he told me sternly

“But-“I tried

“No Hannah, you’re not coming back, got it?” he asked

“Alright,” I told him, “Can I do anything for you though?”

“No, our crazy friends are making sure I have everything I need want or don’t want.” He said and chuckled. We talked for a while and I even made him let me talk to is doctor. Apparently he was lucky to be alive but had a strong body and was going to be fine in a matter of months.

After hanging up, I turned to Niall who hadn’t left my side. He opened his arms to me and I fell into them. It was then that I felt the tears roll down my face and I tried to stop them from coming.

“Hey, its ok let it out.” Niall said, stroking my hair

So I did. I cried into him and told him what the doctor had told me and he told me it was all going to be alright and he was so convincing that I believed him as I fell asleep in his arms.

“Is he going to be alright?” Danielle asked concerned and I nodded

After I’d fallen asleep, Niall had to get up to go to their interview since we’d slept basically the entire day. I’d slept a little longer before going into Danielle’s room and telling her and Eleanor what had happened. They’d both given me hugs and were doing whatever they could to cheer me up but I was still upset. Even though I’d been told not to go back, I felt bad for touring with One Direction while my best friend was in the hospital.

“Hannah, he’s right, you can’t do anything there.” Eleanor said when I told them this.

“Ya, but I still feel like a bad friend for staying here.” I said

“Don’t! You’re an amazing friend Hannah and don’t forget that!” Danielle said before giving me another hug. We all decided to get dressed so we could go get junk food and just be lazy for the rest of the day and watch a movie.
