Accident and Emergency

Memory stick forgotten I walked out of Staples with Nicki gripping onto my arm with alarming strength for a girl of her age but I barely noticed her nails digging into my skin, Louis still on my mind. He probably has a girlfriend, or maybe even a wife! I stopped suddenly and tried in vain to remember if he had a ring on his ring finger. I couldn't for the life of me remember and that aggravated me to no end. I suppose it was for the best then, Louis rushing of like that, even as I told myself that I thought of how his touch disarmed me so much, his strong muscles, the way his name rolled off my tongue so easily. Love at first sight. The thought came unbidden into my mind and I instantly shook my head, no, don't be ridiculous Becky i scolded myself internally. Someone pushed past me and I stumbled to the floor, turning at the last minute so Nicki wouldn't bear the brunt of our fall. My back hit the cold hard pavement, the grit digging into my skin and I cried out in pain. Nicki looked down at me concerned as I tried to assess the damage, nothing broken, but my head seemed to be swelling and it hurt with each throb. I sat up, careful of Becky, and groaned as I did so. I looked up at the hand offered to me to see a handsome face, smiling apologetically down at me. 

'I'm SO sorry, I didn't see you there and I was in a rush,' he rubbed his hand by the nape of his neck and eyes shone with sincerity and I instantly forgave him, the poor guy looked beside himself with worry. I placed Nicki in his offered arm and hauled myself up brushing the pebbles off of me. My head was still hurting though and when I stood I stumbled a little. I brought my hand to my head and when I tried to hold out the same hand to steady myself I realised that it was coated in blood. I gasped and the last thing I noticed was his suprisingly vivid green eyes.

Harrys POV (I hope you guys had worked out it was him after the green eyes bit...)

She collapsed in front of me her eyelids drooping forward and and I stood there, with her baby in my arm, staring down at the woman in shock. It was obvious it was her baby, though the lady had dark brown hair, that looked almost red in the sunlight and her baby had obviously blonde hair you could still see the similarities. Their noses were the same small shape and they both had the same cupid bow lips. Her eyes were a dark ocean blue, I had noticed seconds before her eyes had shut and her babies seemed to be brown but they looked so similar, I felt silly all of a sudden, the baby was obviously young, most likely only 6 months old at the most but the lady looked also young about 17 I would have pegged her, this probably wasn't her baby, maybe a sister or a niece? A man in a horrible business suit suddenly braked on the road and jumped out of his car. 

'Have you called an ambulance?' he asked breathless from the run, his brown eyes looked at me demanding an answer.

'Err... I was just about to.' I shifted the baby and grabbed my phone from my pocket dialling 999, I gave the address and the lady told me to xtay calm as the ambulance would be there as soon as possible I thanked her and hung up. I looked down to thank the man for bringing me to my senses only to find him making out with the unmoving body. NECROPHELIA MUCH?! Not that, of course she was dead, or that I wished her dead, but she was unconcious! I grabbed the man by his collar and yanked him up with my free hand.

'What are you doing?' I growled and to my surprise instead of trembling in fear he scowled deeply at me.

'Trying to get her pulse going again assshole, its already weak!'

'OH!' Oops? I could be such an idiot, I coughed trying to cover my discomfort, 'Please, proceed,' I gestured to the lady, who I just realised now was extremely small, tiny curves on her titchy frame, she was extremely pretty but her delicate features brought out a soft protective, fraternal feeling in me, not the sharp claws of lust that I usually felt for beautiful women. This one was different.

The next few minuted were all a blur as I was hustled into the ambulance with the man in the business suit as well as the baby in hand. The pumped her chest with what looked like irons and I squashed down the voice in my head screaming at them to be more fragile with her. We were rushed into A&E and i was told to sit in the reception area. I sat down in the chair and ignored the pacing man in front of me. I shoved my fingers into my curly hair and sighed loudly. I hoped she would be ok. The baby next to me starting wailing, LOUDLY. At a loss of what to do I cradled her in my arms and tried to sooth her by playing with her tiny fingers, she seemed to calm down and yawed adorably, I smiled into her wide ayes and they fluttered shut, She snuggled into my chest and looking down at her I realised she had fallen asleep.

Best Friend By the Janoskians suddenly burst out loudly, my phone blaring from my pocket, I quickly grabbed it and held it between my shoulder and ear trying not to wake the baby up.

'You're late.' A booming voice told me.

'I know, I know but it was an emergency!'

'Harry, your fuck buddies are not emergencies! Business is finally going well and you ditch me at the last minute to handle the bar on my own, fukkin typical Harry!' He sighed and my insides clenched uncomfortably as I physically felt his disappointment.

'No I swear, this is a real emergency! I swear it!'

Louis sighed yet again and I squirmed a little, even though I knew I was innocent Louis always had a way to make me feel guilty.

'I'm at the hospital.'

'The hospital?! Christ Harry why didn't you tell me? I'll get Sal to handle the bar, I'll be right there, hang tight mate.'

I opened my mouth to tell him it wasn't me who was injured but he had already hung up. Damn it.
