My Guitar Buddy (A One Direction & Emblem3 Fan Fiction)

Chapter 14

Niall's POV

"Hello?" I asked, holding the phone to my ear.

"Niall," Skylar hiccupped. "I've called the police and the ambulance and we're on our way to the East Hospital please come."

"What?" I gasped. "Why?"

"Ashlyn--" she hiccupped again. "Ashlyn overdosed on drugs and passed out and I'm really scared, Niall," she said and started to cry.

"Miss," I heard the attendant say. "She'll be all right. You called us not a moment too soon."

That made Skylar cry harder. "Niall, what do I DO?"

I made no hesitation. "Calm down, Sky, we'll be there as soon as we can," I said. "Just make sure that you won't give yourself a heart attack before we get there."

Skylar laughed through her tears. "This is why you're my best friend," she said. "You always make me laugh and know the right thing to say. Thanks."

"You're welcome," I said, secretly pleased. 

"I'm gonna take a breather," she mumbled. "Love you, Leppy."

"Love you too, Sky," I said.

"What's going on?" Zayn asked. We were all in the limo.

I shook my head and told the driver, "East Hospital please."

He nodded. "Any particular reason?"

"Uh, a friend is going there?" I really didn't know how to answer that.

I turned to my mates. "Ashlyn overdosed on drugs and Skylar's going out of her mind with worry and she's freaking out and needs us there."

Liam turned pale. "Because of what I said?"

I shrugged. "Probably." I glanced at him. "What did you say, anyways?"

Liam's eyes glistened. "I said..." he mumbled. Then he said something incomprehendable.

"Pardon?" Harry asked.

"I said that if she was going to play me like that I shouldn't have fallen for her game and that I pitied the guy she was dating because I didn't want him to experience the same thing I did," he mumbled.

We gaped at him. "Liam, you idiot," Louis snapped. "No wonder she tried to kill herself. You might as well have said you hate her!"

"I feel awful," Liam said, and started to sob.

I bit my lip. "Can we go a little faster?" I asked the driver, as the others tried to console Liam.

"Going as fast as I can, Mr. Horan," he said politely.

"Thanks," I said. "LiLi, there's nothing we can do right now, what's happened has happened and we can't change it." 

Liam shook his head and hugged Zayn tighter.

"Liam, it's all right," Zayn soothed.

Then my phone rang. Movement in the back part of the limo ceased.

"Hello?" I asked nervously.

"LEPPY," Skylar was sobbing.

"What's wrong?" I gasped.

"She-she-she--" Skylar was so overcome with tears that she couldn't speak.

"What?" I pleaded.

"We're at -- hic -- Ward 4 in room -- hic -- 293 on the -- hic -- 9th floor and her heart rate -- hic -- it's going down, Leppy -- hic -- WHAT DO I DO?" she screamed.
