Harry's POV

The carnival was about to close so we decided to walk home. We were at her front porch and I decided it was time to tell her I'm leaving.

"I got something to tell you, it's pretty important," I said to her.

"Okay, go on," she said.

Okay, breathe Harry, breathe

You're not doing child labor why do you have to breathe

Because I need to live..duh!

Well, stop talking to me now, you have to tell Ariana you're leaving..

Oh yeah..

Here it goes..

 "I'm leav-" I was cut off by her phone ringing.

"I'm so sorry Harry, I gotta take this. It's my mum," she said apologetically.

See Harry, I told you. You should've told her sooner and stopped talking to yourself, now you just missed your chance.

I didn't miss it, she's just talking to her mum, then she'll go back to our conversation.

No she won't. Can't you see, something important is happening..

I glanced over at her just as she frantically shouted, "WHAT?! What hospital are they in mum?" she asked into the receiver.

Hospital? Oh no, someone in their family is in the hospital!

I told you so..

Shut up! Ariana needs me!

 "Okay, we're coming, bye mum," she said as she ended the call. Then she looked at me and said, "Harry, we need to get to St. John's Hospital right now! My dad and my brother got into an accident!"

"Okay, but we have to run to my house and let my mum drive us," I said to her. She just nodded in response, she's probably still in shock about the news she heard.

We got to my house and looked for my mum. She was making dinner when we found her, but when we told her about what happened, she instantly grabbed the keys and went to the car.

Ariana and I sat in the backseat. She looked so fragile. Like that night at my house. She needs to be protected by me.

"I'm sorry you weren't able to tell me what you were supposed to say," she said to me.

"It's okay, your father and your brother are more important than that," I said to her. As I was saying this, I saw tears starting to form in her eyes. I hugged her and started soothing her and said, "Nothing bad is going to happen. They're going to be alright. Shhh. Stop crying now," I said to her. I cupped her cheek and looked into her eyes, "They're going to be alright."

We arrived at the hospital and we practically ran inside while my mum was parking the car.

"Richard and Luke Harrison please," I said to the receptionist. I knew she was still too shocked and sad to talk.

"Room 217," she told us.

We ran to room 217 and when we found it, a woman that looked like an older version of Ariana stood by the door. I'm guessing this is Mrs. Harrison. She signaled for Ariana to go in, so I stayed outside.

Ariana's POV

I went into the hospital room and I saw my dad lying on the bed with tons of wires connected to his body. He had a white bandage wrapped around his head and tons of cuts and bruises on his arms and legs. I looked onto the other bed and saw my brother lying there peacefully.

I heard the door open and saw Harry and my mum come in.

"Mum what happened to them?" I asked her.

"They were on their way here to visit you for your brother's birthday next week, I was coming too, but a few hours later than them. When they were driving, your dad lost control and they hit a lamp post," my mum told me.

A lamp post? Oh no. My nightmare is coming to a reality.

I looked over at Harry and he understood perfectly. He came to my side as tears started streaming down my face.

"Did any of them wake up yet?" I asked her, starting to calm down now.

"Well, your brother woke up about 30 minutes ago, he's just sleeping right now. The doctors said he'll be alright, but your father though, hasn't woken up yet. The doctors say that his lungs don't function properly, so he has to have an oxygen tank conected to him. He's going to have surgery tomorrow," my mum said answering my question.

"Will he be alright?" I asked her.

"I don't know Ariana. Let's just hope he will," she said to me.

Then there was a dead silence in the room, but was broken by my dad's random movements and hard and unsteady breathing. He took sharp intakes of air.

Oh no! What's happening?

About 3 nurses came inside the room and rolled his bed out and to the room that said 'Surgery Room'

"What's happening to my husband?" my mum asked one of the nurses.

"He's having a seizure. He needs to go through surgery right away. I'm just saying this now, but just be prepared. Most cases like this don't usually succeed," he said to us.

My mum just started crying.

Don't usually succeed? Is he saying that my dad's going to die?!

"Are you saying that he'll die? You haven't even tried saving him yet and you're saying he's going to die?!" I shouted at the nurse.

"I'm sorry, but we're trying our best. I'm just telling you right now so that it doesn't hurt as much when it does happen," he said to me

"Well, try harder! That's my father in there," I said as tears started welling up in my eyes again. I just hugged Harry for comfort knowing that I've said enough.

"Could you just please leave? I don't think you're needed here anymore," Harry said to the nurse, talking for both, my mom and I.

"Yes I will and we will try our best to save him," the nurse said.

-------------------

We waited outside the surgery room for about 3 hours since the seizure. It was already 1:00AM and we didn't get any news about my father yet. We were all tired and scared. Scared for my father. Harry even stayed here with me for the whole time. Anne left about 2 hours ago saying that Gemma told her to come home.

The doors of the room opened and a man probably in his late 40's came out. He was probably my dad's doctor.

"What happened? Is he alright?" my mum asked him.

"I am so sorry Mrs. Harrison. We tried everything we could" he said to us, showing sympathy.

My mum's tears started flowing and I did too. Harry hugged me and tried calming me down.

That's it. My father, he's gone.
