S E V E N T E E N :

"Hello," Harrison spoke as soon as he pressed the screen to his ear.

"Hello, is this Harrison?" The voice on the other end asked, he didn't recognise the voice so naturally he was overly confused, he and his 'team' were always very careful about who obtained his number and what the number was going to be used for etc. So the call did baffle him.

"It is, yeah,"

"Your friend Eoin Ramsey has been rushed to hospital after having an accident, we were told to inform you immediately," The lady on the other end spoke and Harrison's face practically drained in colour. What on earth had happened? Was he okay?

"Where are you?" Harrison asked already standing up, Oak watched him intensely as she saw there was a shift, defiantly something bad.

"Lower Manhattan, sir," She replied.

"I'll be there as soon as I can," Harrison said with concern lacing every inch of his tone, the lady said a quick see you soon sir then hung up. He couldn't believe what happened—well, he didn't actually know what happened but it didn't sound good and that's what scared him the most.

"Is everything okay?" Oak asked worriedly to the tall man stood slightly away from the wooden table that was full with his cast members.

"I don't know," He said slowly, his eyes zoned out "My manager has been rushed to hospital," He told them all, his tone low and anxious. The table all felt so sorry for him because all his cast members knew how close Eoin and Harrison were so to hear that must have frightened him so much.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Oak offered, she knew she barely knew him but nobody should have to do anything alone, especially seeing someone you care about hurt, Oak reckoned that when alone your nerves were always so much higher than if you were to have someone there with you.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" Harrison asked the blue-haired girl who was more than willing to be his shoulder to lean on. Harrison knew that he barely knew the girl but he really did appreciate her kindness and how she didn't even contemplate asking. As a response Oak just stood up from the seat, put her coat on and stood next to the tall brunette man with a soft smile of sympathy.

"I'm sorry to cut it short but I've got to make sure he's alright," Harrison apologised to his cast members who didn't need one, they were completely understanding and wouldn't question if he just got up without a word, they knew how much Harrison's friends and family meant to him.

The tall man and the blue-haired girl were just walking through the hotel's exit space, as the eleven others watched them leave, they all felt sorry for Harrison, even if they didn't know him well and all his co-stars had fallen in love with Oak's kindness. "She's so sweet," Elle gushed, with a soft smile at the rest of the band members

"She really is but she's also a bit of a dick," Joe chuckled agreeing with the girl and also making a little joke, there was no denying that Oak was one of the kindest most caring people the three of them had ever met in their life; granted she could be a bitch when necessary but overall she'd do anything to help another person out if they needed it no matter who they were.

"So, you're telling me that the only reason she's gone isn't because she had a crush on him?" Ajay said jokingly making the band mates laugh too.
