See You Again - Niall Horan

Chapter 46

“What?!” I gasped.

Niall was already climbing from bed. “Pack a bag. Paul has a plane to fly us to LA that leaves in an hour. Harry’s family and Zayn, along with Paul are going to meet us there. Louis and Liam are on vacation and will meet us at the hospital.”

I quickly jumped from bed and grabbed a duffle bag and stuff some random clothes in it. Niall came back with a sleeping Riley. He had a few things of Riley’s that he handed to me. “How is he?” My throat was dry.

“We don’t know. He was taken to the hospital, that’s all we know. Hopefully when we get there they will tell us more.”

“Niall what if he?”

“No don’t think that. Harry is going to be fine. He’s a fighter and is going to be fine.” He voice shook.

I grabbed a few things from the bathroom while Niall loaded the car. Riley was buckled into his car seat and Niall was talking to a friend to watch Charlie when I jumped into the car. When we arrived at the airport, Zayn was already sitting there in sweatpants waiting for us. Not much later Harry’s family arrived and we boarded the plane to take us to the US.

Not much was said during the flight, most of us sat in silence. I held Niall’s hand as he rubbed it trying to comfort me. I tried to get some sleep but it didn’t come. I drifted in and out a few time but my mind was racing.

We touched down and a car was waiting for us. We rushed to the hospital and ran inside. Louis was already there waiting when we showed up. “Louis is he okay?” Anne frantically asked him.

“I don’t know. He’s in surgery now but they won’t tell me anything since I’m not family. But now that you’re here maybe they will talk to you.” We all stood and watched as Anne and the rest of Harry’s family approached the desk.

We all held our breath until she return. “The only thing they know is he was riding a motorcycle when a car struck him. He’s in surgery now but they didn’t know the extent of his injuries until they got in there. He’s been in there for three hours.”

Two long more hours we waited, Liam arriving in the meantime. Some of us sat in the waiting room while others paced the hallways. The doctor finally emerged from behind closed doors and approached us. “Harry Styles family?” We all stood and walked over to him. “No I can only speak to his immediate family.”

“I’m his mum and they are all his family so you can tell all of us. How is my son?” You could see she was visibly shaking.

“Alright so your son was on his motorcycle when a car ran through a red light and stuck his left side. He was thrown from the bike but thankful he was wearing a helmet. However we don’t know if he sustained any head trauma and we won’t until he wakes up. The tibia and fibula in his left leg along with the ulna on that side are broken. His left shoulder had been dislocated and he has a couple broken ribs that punctured his lung. And he has some scrapes and bruises. In surgery we got that lung re-inflated and put the shoulder back in place. He had to put a plate and pins in his leg to fix the tibia and closed up some of the deeper lacerations.”

“So has is he doing?” She asked.

“He’s currently on a ventilator to help him breathe and is on pain medications. We won’t really if he sustained any lasting injuries until he wakes up so it’s pretty much up to Harry now.”

“Can we see him?”

“A few of you can go in right now. Then we will see how he’s doing and decide from there.”

“Thank you doctor.”

Harry’s close family went into his room while the rest of us continued to wait. Eventually they returned to the waiting room where we were still sitting. You could see Anne and Gemma were both shaken and had been crying. Paul had gotten us rooms at a hotel nearby, so we decided to leave for the night since none of us had slept yet.
