Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Taylor's POV

When the nurse leaves me, I'm sitting in the waiting room alone. Well, many people are running in and nurses are filing papers, but I feel alone. Every part of me felt distant from the world, like everything was collapsing on me. I take a step back and fall onto the chair, taking a deep breath and pulling out my phone.

"Taylor! What happened!?" Harry sounds frantic and I can't help but to break down.

"can, can you put n-niall on the phone??"

"Taylor, please tell me what's going on. You're on speaker" Niall's voice is on the other side.

"she-Bridget" I couldn't spit out the words,

"Take a deep breath Taylor, everything thing will be okay. You just need to take a deep breath and tell me what happened." Harry attempts to calm me

"she shot herself. In the lung. Might not make it"

"fuck." Niall curses and I hear Audrey gasp. "I-I'm on my way"

"Niall what about the kids?"

"I'll bring them, Harry pack the bags. I'm calling Paul to get the jet, we're on our way Taylor." Niall seems distant from the phone and the line ends.

I sit in my distant silence for what seems like forever until a young blonde sits next to me, she was in scrubs and worry strikes through me. "Bridget's mom right?"

"yeah, Taylor" I shake her hand and she gives me a small smile.

"I'm sorry to hear about her." my eyes widen as she just told me my daughter was dead "no, no god no I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. I mean its tough to sit here and not know what's going on in the surgery room" I just nod, not wanting to talk to anyone, "I was close with Bridget in middle school, well I mean not close but I was the only one to not make fun of her" she chuckles, "that has to count for something right?"

For once in the past twenty four hours I give a half smile, "she's a fighter Taylor." Another nurse comes out and whispers into her ear. The girl nods and the other nurse leaves. "she gave me an update"

I spot a brown and blonde bobbing head through the hospital and little things running behind them. "Taylor!"

I first go to Niall and wrap my arms around him, holding him tight. "I'm so sorry Niall. I could have done something I'm so sorry."

He shushes me and kisses the top of my head. I can feel his tears fall on my hair and Mason grabs my leg. I pull from Niall and hold Harry until the air doesn't feel thick anymore. The nurse is still standing behind me and she waits patiently until we can compose ourselves.

"her lung that was punctured got infected, and unfortunately they had to remove it. At this point, she's on life support. She's on our donors list." She spits out the information bluntly and Niall's knees buckle. I hold him and the nurse puts her head down. "you can see her"

We follow her down the hall and into a small room where the only noise is the hum of the machine helping her breathe. "we will keep you guys updated on when we have a lung"

Is it possible for her to live without a lung? Or someone to live with just one lung? Maybe she could take mine? No, it's highly impossible, we're not even the same blood type.

Cords come from her nose, arm and chest, her hair is pushed back and both of her eyes are darkened. Niall drops to his knees next to her, and he holds her hand. Harry puts his arm around my waist and the kids are sitting, Kyle is holding Lily, Audrey is playing rock, paper, scissors with Mason and there's a nurse checking things on Bridget.
