Surfer Girl // A.I (completed)

thirteen

{ Ashton }

Tatum went down. And she went down hard.

She had the wave. It was hers then the girl she was surfing against swept in and hit her board.

As soon as Tatum went down, gasps were heard. Jasper and Calihan, who had been standing with us, took off and the second surfer Tatum was against was paddling to help too.

Tatum has been under for a long time. Harry was tugging my arm and Calum had his hand on my shoulder,

"Where the fuck is she?" Sierra questioned, anxious herself.

Soon a jet ski set out and a couple seconds later was coming back with Tatum on the back. She was passed out and her head was bleeding.

Jasper and Calihan picked her up and laid her on the sand then paramedics were pushing them out of the way, one doing CPR.

I was scared.

Calihan turned around and waved me down. I was hesitant but of course I was going to go,

"Stay here Harry" I spoke to my brother before jogging down to where Tatum was.

Her eyes were open when I got down there but I could tell she was in pain,

"Do they know anything?" I asked,

"Concussion for sure. She said her knee hurts so that's what they're looking at" Jasper told me. I nodded and when the medic touched Tatum's knee, she screamed and shut her eyes.

Chris finally showered up and knelt down next to her and looked at the medic,

"I think we've got a torn ACL. She also has a concussion and needs stitches in her head" the medic spoke,

"You're okay Tate. Just hang on" he spoke. She nodded and looked around, pausing when she saw me,

"Hi" she gave a loopy smile,

"Hey" I laughed,

"Okay, let's get her to the ambulance and get a game plan" the medic stood. The other medics nodded and they got Tatum. She couldn't stand on her left leg because of her knee so they ended up carrying her. I offered to do it but they told me no.

She sat on the back of the ambulance as they checked her over again. She looked very uncomfortable,

"My head hurts, I'm tired, and the sun hurts my eyes" she complained, her eyes dropping.

"That's because you have a concussion" the one medic told her as they forcefully grabbed her head and put a numbing shot by her eyebrow,

"Tatum, they're stitching that eye up. Do you want someone with you?" Chris asked her. Apparently she's not good with things like this. Tatum lazily pointed to me.

I walked over and took a seat on the back of the ambulance with her and she grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She wanted to squeeze her eyes shut, but she couldn't because of where they were doing stitches.

"Okay. Those are done. So now we will go to the hospital and do X-rays and a MRI on the knee then see what we will do from there" the medic told Tate and Chris.

I stood and backed away as they put her in the ambulance,

"I have her phone. I'll let you know what's going on" Chris told me before he hopped in too.

I walked back up to my friends as the ambulance drove off. Harry hugged me and the announcer started talking about how the girl that caused Tatum to get hurt was disqualified and that the other girl had won,

"How is she?" Michael asked,

"Concussion, split her eyebrow open, and they're pretty sure her ACL is torn" I sighed,

"Oh fuck. ACL is a long recovery" Calum wide eyed,

"Yeah" I sighed, "She's on her way to the hospital. They're running tests on her knee then figuring out the game plan"

"Well we can take Harry home. I'm sure you're going to the hospital" Luke nodded,

"That'd be great" I smiled then turned to Harry, "Tell Mom I'll be home soon"

"I will. Tell Tatum she's awesome" he grinned.

{ Tatum }

I was miserable. Even though I was pumped with pain medicine, I was still hurting. My head was killing me and my knee was throbbing. They confirmed my ACL was torn and now I was waiting on them to tell me what's happening and for someone to bring me clothes.

The lights were dim in the room due to my concussion. I wasn't allowed to have my phone for the same reason so I just sat back and closed my eyes.

I was about to fall asleep when the door opened but as soon as I saw who it was, my anger went away,

"Hey, how you feeling?" Ashton came and sat on the edge,

"I have a headache and I think my knee is falling off" I groaned. Ashton sighed and I scooted over to he could lay next to me. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, but of course as soon as I did, more people walked in.

"Here's the plan" Chris walked to me, "They're gonna brace the knee and were on a flight back to LA tonight. As soon as we land, we are going to the hospital and you're having surgery"

"Is someone getting my stuff from the hotel?" I asked, still leaning on Ashton,

"Layla is there now. She's flying back with us too" he told me. I just nodded.

"Let's get the brace on her and get you guys to the airport" the doctor stepped forward. Ashton got up and stood back as they did everything then put me in a wheelchair.

"I get home in two days. I'll come see you then" Ashton leaned down and kissed me. I was too tired to talk so I nodded,

"Alright. I'll see you soon. Good luck"
