Harry's P.O.V

I nervously shake my left leg as Louis and I wait to hear anything, they've whisked away Nina into a room for testing and x-rays, I cringe at the thought of her in any pain.

"Hey man" I feel Louis' hand on my shoulder blade "You look like a mess, she's going to be fine, it was a soccer injury not a car accident"

I breathe in and sit up straight, cupping my hands together "I just want to see her"

Louis opens his mouth but then closes it when the rest of the group immerges from the elevator.

"How's she doing?" Zayn asks while walking up

"No idea yet, they haven't let us in the room" Louis answers for me, he understands how I feel right now, which is why he's my best friend.

"That was a dirty play" Liam sulks and sits beside me, I nod emotionlessly.

"She is going to be alright though right?" Niall looks around at the fearful faces.

"I think she is going to be just fine" Dominic, Nina's father immerges from behind.

" Harry, could I have a word in private please?" He ushers me forward.

I stand confused and follow him down the hall.

" What can I do for you Mr. Jones?" I furrow my eyebrows and place my hands in my pockets.

" I understand how you might be angry with me, as Nina is but I need you to know that everything my wife and I have done has been to protect Nina and Tia, you'll understand one day when you have children" He says quietly, avoiding my eye contact.

I smirk slightly " You don't have to explain yourself to me Sir, with all do respect I think Nina deserves more of an explanation than I do"

" I like you Harold, I do, you seem like a better boyfriend to Nina then Tom was, what's going to happen when your band goes off this break of yours and you start your tour?" he says with icy intent hidden in his voice.

I can't think of an answer to his question so I quickly avoid it "Did you know about everything? Nina's brother, the will, the way her parents actually passed away?"

He pauses and a sinister look flashes briefly through his eyes " I don't know what you're on to boy, but you best keep the knowledge you're assuming private from Nina" He says guiltily

" I would hate to see you and Nina break up, but accidents can happen and I'm not entirely sure you are the best thing for my daughter" He smirks small and walks away.

I wait several minutes before returning.

" Hey the nurse says we can see Nina now" Tia informs me upon reaching them

" Mom and Dad just went to get coffee" She answers my questionable look

"Would you guys mind if I went in alone first?" I ask, my voice sounding hopeful

"Not at all, she's your girlfriend" Louis chuckles sarcastically

Nina's P.O.V

"Alright Miss Vinci, it won't be necessary for you to spend the night, but you will need to be woken up by someone every three hours to take the medication required for the mild concussion you have achieved, also your ankle is twisted and inflamed, we will give you crutches to help you walk for the next week or so, continue to ice if pain doesn't subside" The doctor looks up at me from his clip board.

I glance up confused, my head has never hurt this much before. "Um okay" I groan and he places the prescription on the nightstand, smiling he says "Your loved ones can come in now"
