By Your Side; Ksimon

Chapter Twenty Three

Simon's POV:

It has been about a day since the accident, Nick, Ethan, Deji and I were currently the only ones at the hospital. All of us haven't left yet.

Looking at the rest of them, I could already see the bag growing under their eyes as we all waited with heavy hearts, just waiting for something to happen, anything.

Suddenly Deji's Mum and Dad burst through the hospital doors, not even seeing us as they rushed to the receptionist, "We need to see our son!" She cried out. The receptionist seemed shock, unsure of what to do.

Deji quickly sprung to his feet, rushing to his parents. He was whispering to them, at first trying to calm them down, but a certain fire flared in his eyes after a couple of moments.

The three of us rushed over to him, Ethan's hand was still wrapped from the stitches, he was feeling better.

"C-Come on...we should all relax and sit down." Ethan says comfortingly as he puts a hand on Deji's back.

The three of them argued with Ethan until they finally complied. Soon we were all sitting. Deji explained everything that we knew, tears filled their eyes, but they kept then in.

Everything was silent for a long moment until a doctor walked over to us, "Olajide is currently stable. He's allowed to be seeing family. He is still asleep, but if you would like to see him you are welcomed too." He looks at Deji and his parents waiting for their answer

The three of them burst jump to their feet. Deji was about to head with them as he looked back at the three of us. Tears were filling my eyes, what if we didn't have tomorrow.

Deji looks at all of us, his eyes resting on mine, "We're all family..." He grumbles lowly as his head whips back to the doctor, "They come too."

"Sorry sir, we cannot allow that, he can have visitors tomorrow depending on if he stays stable. So would you like to or not?" He pressed.

"I-It's okay..." Ethan whispered. Deji slowly nods, following the doctor.

The rest of us sat in our seats nervously, I wanted to see JJ, to hold his hand, but at the same time I didn't, I don't know if I could take it seeing him...what if I lost it?

I grabbed my phone, it was December 26th. Nick had to leave the first of the New Year.

"Y-You can go home if you want..." I whispered to Nick, I wasn't sure how I would survive this without him, but I couldn't keep Nick trapped here.

"I'm going to stay with you the entire time, but I really think you should go home tonight, Mum and Dad are worried." He says lifting his eyes to look into mine.

I shake my head, "I can't leave him..." I mumbled, remembering the times he told me he would never leave my side, except that's exactly what I did to him, I left him.

"E-Ethan...?" I said turning to him, I was inbetween Ethan and Nick

"Yeah Simon?" He questioned, his voice sounding extremely hoarse.

"I-...why were you guys drinking...?" I questioned, not knowing if I wanted to know the reason.

His eyes widened, "FUCK!" He yells as if a light bulb went off in his head. He pulled out his phone, dialing his own number. As I looked closer, I realized he had Harry's phone, that explained why the contact came up as Harry.

"God dammit Harry!" He yells as he rushes to his feet.

"W-What's going on Ethan!" I questioned utterly confused, now that I thought about it, Harry hasn't visited JJ at all.
