Stand Up

Stand Up Chapter 4

Niall P.O.V

Finally the paramedics were here. I was doing my best to help Philippa. Never seen someone in such a way, I didnt know what was happening, everything happened so fast but when i saw her legs going weak, then I saw her falling.

I was trying to hold back the tears, and seeing Mollie so upset was making things worse, the poor thing seeing her in that state was making it worse.

I may have only know them both for less than an hour . I knew I couldn't loose Philippa not like this.

They were attaching wires to her, for different reasons, they also attached a mask to her, then one of the paramedics, went out and came back with a stretcher.

They picked her up so carefully, not to knock any of the wires attached to her. And placed her on the stretcher.

They wheeled her out of my house towards the ambulance, with Mollie by her side not wanting to leave her.

I grabbed my phone and keys and ran out of my flat to my car. I started to drive to the hospital as fast I could.

As I was driving I searched through my contacts to find the one persons number that I needed. Finally I found Harry's number and swiped the contact so it rang. After a couple of rings he picks up.

"Hey mate what's up?" He asks seeming very cheerful. Oh how I am going to ruin that.

"What you doing right now??" I ask feeling myself want to cry again.

"Nothing why??" He replies seeming a bit worried.

"I need you to meet me at the hospital as soon as you can get there. Just you don't tell the others please." I reply this time with tears rolling down my face.

"Yeah sure. Whats happened??" Harry replies mow even more confused.

"I will explain when you get there."I reply trying to stop crying but failing badly.

"Mate don't get upset I am on my way."Harry replies with so much sympathy in his voice.

"Thanks Harry and can't help it."I reply sniffling.

"Niall I am coming now see you in a few."Harry replies and with that ends the phone call.

I finally arrive at the hospital and park the car and literally ran from my car to the desk in the A&E department.

"Hi, how may I help?" The woman asked sat behind the desk.

"Yes, where is Philippa been taken?" I asked out of breath from running.

"Whats her last name sir?" She replies.

"Oh shit  I dont know her last name." I reply feeling so stupid not knowing that.

"Sir do you know anything else about her that I will be able to use to find where she is?" She asks with a smile on her face.

"I think her friend said her date of birth is the 11th or 12th of June." I reply just catching my breath back.

"Thank you I will check them now." She replies. after a few minutes which felt like hours she looked up from her computer.

"There is a Philippa Bullock. She is in the emergency section of A&E Bay 5. They have just brought her back from X ray you can go in." She says with a smile on her face.

"Thank you so much." I reply. And I head towards the door that leads me down to where Philippa was lying probably half dead.

I walk down the corridor which is so plain and boring cream. All I see is people eithe laying on beds with cuts broken bones. I finally reach the end of the corridor and the door for bay five right infront of me i take a deep breath in and open the door. To find Mollie slumped in the corner crying her eyes out with a nurse comforting her and trying to block the view Mollie could see of Philippa surrounded by doctors and nurses rushing around to do their best for Philippa . I just couldnt take this in it broke me to see someone that I thought would be such a good friend, possibly a good girlfriend lie there so motionless and so lost. 

I ran to Mollie and try to comfort her more but all I ended up doing was breaking down myself. With both of us slumped in the corner. All I could hear was doctors saying what they needed to put into Philippa and what they were going to do. And the faint beeping of Philippa's heart going on the moniter. 

Then my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller id. Harry. Just the person I needed.

"Mate where are you I am at the hospital?" Harry asks also sounding out of breath. But I didnt have the strength to speak let alone try abd direct him to where I was. So I just passed the phone to the nurse for her to tell him where I was.

After about two minutes on the phone the nurse handed me m phone back and told me Harry was on his way down right now.

Then the sound of Philippa's heart slowly reduced and then there was no noice of the heart moniter but the sound of the doctors shouting to all the nurses and other doctors for them to keep clear from her body.
