You're so dark (an Alex Turner fanfic)

cars

„Mr Turner?“ asked a voice he did not know.

„Yes...who's that?“

„Mr Turner here's the South-general Hospital I'll make it quick:

Miss Kingsley here was involved in a car accident and she was brought here, where she gave us your number to contact“

Alex felt like someone had pushed him into ice cold wate, in his head played all sorts of scenarios and endless questions flew around his head so he had trouble in concentraiting on the woman on his phone.

„What happened? Is she ok? Oh god is she hurt?!“ was everything he could say. His head was only filled with worry. What if something bad had happened? And who caused this accident? What if she was badly wounded? His thoughts collided in his head. He needed to see her. Immediately. He was so badly worring that he did not even hear how the woman, probably a nurse spoke again.

„I don't have any further information at the moment, I am sorry. Would it be possible for you sir to come over here and-“

-“I'm on my way! I'll need about twenty minutes“ he said quickly and grabbed his leatherjaket from the seat.

„Alex? Everything allright?“ Matt asked worried as Alex put away the phone and was about to run out of the studio.

„I...I'm sorry..It...it's Ruby...a hospital just called...I...she got into a car accident...“ Alex stutterd, close to tears, he felt so helpless and desperate, all he wanted was her, save, here, not in some stupid hospital.

„Which hospital?“

„ South-General“

„I'll drive, we're quicker with the car!“

The following thirty minutes felt like the longest and worst of Alex' life.

Sitting there in the car, not knowing what would awate him in the hospital was truly torture. He only knew that his loved-one was there, that she would probably get a panick-attack when waking up in a hospital, he remembered that she once told him that a hospital was worse than hell for her, that she hated those places with all her heart.

All possible worst-case scenarios played in his head and he allready prepared himself for the worst possible things that could have happened.

Matt stopped at the entrance and Alex jumped out immediately, running inside and to the first reception he could see, nearly bumping into a doctor that came by.

He knocked on the door, scared and with his heart beating like crazy.

A male voice from inside said 'yes come in' and he stormed inside.

What he saw both tore his heart apart and made some of his worries dissapear:

In the small room was a man, maybe 30, sitting on a stool and bowed over an arm, the one without tattoos, that was now full with broken glass splinters that were  inside the skin and flesh.

The arm and bruised shoulder belonged to Ruby who gave him a weak and exhausted smile that made his heart shatter into bits.

His breathing stopped for a moment when she said his name with a unsteady voice that he had never heared out of her mouth.

He quickly stepped to her and knelt down in front of her, not even minding the Doctor who was collecting the splinters out of her arm.

He took her free hand that was not hurt and squeezed it sotly and then put a kiss on the back of her hand „I was so scared“ he whispered.

She smiled light and let her hand slide through his hair

„It's ok...nothing too bad happened..some bruises....and...this“ she said quietly and made a movement towards the arm that was cut open at some parts from the glass.
