Chapter 39

Lauren’s POV

Ten thousand things are running through my mind as I drive as fast as possible within the legal limit to the hospital. My best friend in the whole world is now on a hospital bed in critical condition, things can’t get any worse.

Does her mum know? Does anyone else know? Does Niall and the others know? All these questions are popping up as I take the first car park I see, I park my car and jump out I run into reception and look for a sign to read.

‘Intensive Care Unit – Level 3’  I read and I made my way over to the elevator and pressed level 3 on the selection wall. The elevator ride felt like it went for a life time. Once the elevator doors finally opened I raced to the reception desk.

“Skylar Smith please?” I say with my voice shaky and my breathing was uneasy. “Room 19, The nurse should be in there doing her hourly checkup”   The middle aged lady told me, I nodded and walked down the hall to fine room 19.

When I saw number 19 on the door I froze, I gulp and walked into the room and I was greeted by a nurse and my best friend lying on a hospital bed unresponsive. Immediately I break down in tears and the nurse comes to my side to comfort me.

“How did this happen?” I asked through my sobs “The doctor will be here soon and he will tell you everything” The nurse told me. “does her mum know?”  I asked and the nurse told me “Yes we called her but she said she cant come to London until next week or so because she has no money but hopefully Skylar is okay by then”.

“Okay”I replied and the nurse went and got me a glass of water. I walked over to Skylar’s bedside and took her hand.

“I love you so much Skylar” I whispered to her. I stood next to her in silence listening to all the machinery around her and examining all the chords and drips hooked up to her. I need to call Niall.

“Ill get him here honey, I promise” I whispered again to Skylar as she still lays with her eyes closed saying nothing, I lent down and kissed her hand then I walked out of the room, I walk around the corner and find a tea and coffee room so I walk in there and take a seat on the chair in there and pull out my phone.

I dial Niall’s number and wait for him to pick up, but he doesn’t. I call him again and again and still no reply, I am starting to freak out why is he not answering! “UGH” I whine in frustration, I need to try someone else.

I try calling Harry then Zayn, Liam and Louis and none of them picked up, I am having a massive panic attack now I just tried the 5SOS boys and they didn’t answer either, the last person I can call is Allana, I hope she answers. I dial her number and pray to god she answers.

Just as I was about to give up I heard a sweet voice “hello?” “OHMYGOD ALLANA THANK GOD!” I shouted into the phone and my tears started again. “Oh Lauren what’s wrong?” Allana says instantly stressed by my tears. “Are you with Niall?” I asked “Yeah he is right here, we just about to head off to the airport for the boys to leave back to the UK” She replied “I thought only Zayn was coming back?” I stated “No they all are and when my passport comes ill be there too” She said “Thank you, but I need to talk to Niall” I said “Okay ill put him on” she said and then handed over the phone.

“Hey Loz, how are you?” Niall said cheerfully “Niall, Skylar has been in a car accident and-“ I said but he cut me off “WHAT? Are you fucking serious? Is she okay?” he asked me he was freaking out “Yeah, im not sure how it happened the nurse wouldn’t tell me im about to talk to the doctor and he will tell me everything, I only found out about an hour ago and I rushed down to the hospital, she is alive and breathing but she isn’t responding to anything or anyone” I told him “Fuck! We are boarding the plane, ill call you when I get off the plane” He said and when he finished I could hear is voice shaky. I feel so bad for him because he is on the other side of the world at a time like this.

“Okay, I have to go, the doctor is ready to talk to me” I say when a nurse walks over to me and signals that the doctor is ready for me. “Okay bye” he said and I could tell he was crying now.

Niall’s POV

As I hung up the phone Allana, Eleanor, Deo the boys and I walked into the Private waiting lounge. “FUCK” I scream not caring who can hear me. “What happened mate?” Liam asks me as I hand Allana her phone back “Skylar was in a car accident, she is in critical and she isn’t responding, they don’t know how it happened but Lauren is talking to the doctor now” I spoke in between my cries.

“What!” all the boys said at once and Allana and Eleanor instantly burst into tears like me and all the other boys were so shocked, I just need to get to her.

Lauren’s POV

“Hello Lauren im Dr. Stromlo Skylar’s Dr.” I was greeted “Hello” I simply said, “Now, Lauren was in a head on collision with a school bus, the police reports said she was on the phone when her car slid in the snow and slid into a fast moving bus” the Doctor explain “Oh my god!” I said and I cried again.

I have cried way to much in this past week. “How is she doing?” I asked him “She is still struggling and we think we are going to put her into a medically induced Acoma, just to speed up the process of her heeling, her head was hit very hard and her brain needs time to rest and recover, Skylars mother called just before and put the medical decisions to you, she already email us the paper work, so its now your call weather we put her under Acoma or not .”
