George took his hand back in shock.

"Cass, oh Cass, I'm so sorry. Why'd you do that?"

"Because you don't need to hit him. I get it, you hate him but he's apologised for what he's done," I went into a whisper. "Give him a chance, George. Please."

George sighed.

"Ok." George stuck his hand out to Will. "Welcome back." Will shook George's hand as Will pulled him into a hug. It was sweet.

We sat around talking about what we've been missing out on. Will had reached 1.5 million subscribers and also gotten a girlfriend, her name is Mia.

"She's actually really cool." Said Will, casually.

George grunted and I assumed that he didn't really trust Will yet.

"What does she look like?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation going.

Will unlocked his phone and showed us a photo of this 'Mia'.

She's pretty. I like her style. She's very photogenic.

A bit more chatting and my phone rings. The number calling me was unknown so I was a bit confused. I excused myself from the conversation and answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Cassidy?"

"Good afternoon, this is nurse Cohen from the Royal London Hospital." Hospital? What the hell?

"Oh no, what's wrong?"

"You're friend Amelie Damé got hit by a car earlier today, would it be possible for you to come in and visit her?"

Yes, yes of course," I replied nervously. "When are your visiting hours?"

"5 pm until 9 pm."

"Alright, thank you. See you soon."

"Goodbye ma'am."

I put my phone towards my chest and sighed deeply. I walked to Alex, Will and George and grabbed my bag.

"Cass! What's wrong? You're as white of as a sheet!" Asked George, fearfully.

"Amelie's in hospital," I spat out, tears in my eyes. "We.. We have to go see her."

"Which hospital is she in?" Asked Will.

"The Royal London. Come on, we've got to hurry."

I put my bag over my shoulder and hurried out the door with a worried Alex, Will and George following close behind.

"Should we call an Uber?" Asked Will, trying to help.

"No, it's just up the road from here," I replied, speed-walking. Alex chuckled in reply.

"It's three blocks away! Are you sure?" I nodded, positively.

Twenty minutes into walking, the hospital came into view.

"Finally!" I said, puffed.

The lobby was big and cool, a tiny breeze brushing my face as we walked towards the receptionist. She smiled and pushed her glasses towards her face. Her curly, brown afro was tucked behind her ears. Her kind eyes had the tiniest wrinkles making me suspect that she was around 40 years old. The woman's badge read; Amanda.

"How may I help you?" She smiled kindly with her velvet smooth voice.

"Hey, we're here to see Amelie Damé? Which room would she be in?"

Amanda clicked away on her computer and looked up to us.

"Room 310. Hope your friend is ok." She said, smiling. We all muttered thanks and smiled a smile of thank you.

We went up the elevator to the third floor. The number read 308, 309 and finally 310. We flung the doors open and were met with a tired looking Amelie, wired up to multiple machines. We made eye contact and her eyes lit up.

"Cass!" She croaked, putting her arm up for me to touch. "I'm so glad you came. Mum and Dad are still living in North Yorkshire so I called you." I squeezed her hand and sat down next to her, letting her take in who was with me and her eyes instantly went to Will. "Will!" She called out towards him, smiling. "Hey Am, what happened to you?" "I got hit by a car as you heard the nurse say." She paused momentarily. "I was walking along and this car came out of nowhere. This nice elderly woman rang the emergency line and now I'm here." She squeezed my hand and smiled. "Thank you for coming Cassidilla (like quesadilla lol), it means a lot. I love you." She smiled and winked.

It's Halloween tomorrow and I'm very excited :)
