We all piled into the car, Cal and I up front, the 3 boys in the middle and the 3 girls in the way back. "I don't get why Delaney gets shot gun" Mikey growled, plucking Ashton's arm off of him. "Quit complaining, would ya?" Alice swatted the back of his head. "Where are we going?" I looked at Calum with puppy dog eyes. "I'm not looking at you because you are a devious little girl. And I am not supposed to tell" he said keeping his eyes on the road. The One direction boys had a TV interview then they would meet us where ever we are going tomorrow. We pulled up to a red light. "Ugh I wish this light would hurry" Luke groaned as it turned green. Calum started driving, I looked out my window and BAM!
Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? I was instantly reminded by all my childhood memories. Volleyball. Beaches. Family gatherings. Then I was back to reality. It was like everything all in slow motion, I saw the lights of the truck coming at me. It hit the side of our van, my head jolted to the side in Calums direction, his head flew against the side window. I felt the pain in my whole side, I felt the warm liquid dripping down my cheek. I heard all the sirens , but didn't see the lights. I kept my eyes on Calum as the slowly grew hazy, he tried reaching for me. "DELANEY! DONT! WAKE UP COME ON LOOK AT ME!" He screamed. The screams of the girls and the boys in the back of the van. The blood dripped down Cals forehead. "Baby! Please! Stay awake!" Those were the last words I heard before my eyes closed and engulfed me in unconsciousness.
*Beep, Beep, Beep*
I opened my eyes and I was standing in a door way to a hospital room. I looked in confusion at what seemed to be my body, laying in the bed. Calum had his hands tangled in he hair and he hung it while sitting beside me. "Calum!" I yelled as I ran to hug him. But he didn't turn, he couldn't hear me... "Mr. Hood, your other friends are waiting outside" the nurse said, catching his attention. In walked Mikey, Alice, Luke, Ashton, Rachel, and Lauren. "Hey man, how are you doing?" Calum shook his head as tears ran down his face, "it's been two days, why hasn't she woken up?" He choked on his words. "She will, just give her time, her body needs rest so it can heal properly." Lauren said, pulling him into a hug. "Have you called her mom?" He nodded, "They'll be here Wednesday". The girls all brought me flowers and the boys brought teddy bears, placing them softly next to me before placing a kiss on my bandaged up forehead. "Visiting hours are over" the nurse said before escorting them out. Calum sat back down in the chair. "I'm so sorry, if only I waited a few more seconds to drive!" He placed his head back in his hands. He had to understand this wasn't his fault, WAKE UP! I have to wake up. I jumped up and down and shook myself but nothing happened. I gave my body a good look, my whole leg was in a cast, my ribs were rapped up, me face covered in bandages. Calum rested his head on the side of the bed. "What I would give for this to be me, not you" he said quietly before drifting off to sleep. I slowly walked over, and laid a kiss on his cheek. He jumped and his eyes widened as he looked at my body. I slowly hazed away, but the black I was seeing instantly was gone by Calum staring down at me. "NURSE! SHES AWAKE" he kissed my cheek. "NURSE!" He called as she rushed into my room and worked on me for a little bit.
About an hour later, I was drinking some water. "I'm so glad you're okay" He kissed my hand. I was in all sorts of pain, but the meds helped for that. "I'm so sorry" Cal cried, I cut him off before he could continue. "It's not your fault" he smiled at the sound of my voice. When visiting hours were open again the boys and girls all came running in. Bombarding me with questions and how worried sick they were. I was mentally and physically exhausted. So was Calum. "Cal, go home and take a shower" I whispered. He shook his head no, "I'm not leaving. They can bring me clothes" I wasn't in the shape to argue right now. So I just let him do what he wanted. They had been gone for about three hours. Cal and I were watching some dumb TV show when Luke came running in, worry all through his face. He gave Calum a look. And Calum rushed out the room behind him. "I'll be outside the door if you need me!" He hollered walking out behind Luke. He rushed back in a few minutes later. No Luke. He turned off the TV and took my hand in his. "Delaney, we need to talk about something" I gave him a weird look but nodded. "There was a plan crash, on some remote island. They don't know who has survived and who hasn't." I nodded, not getting where he was going at. "That flight was from Florida." I felt my world stop in its tracks. "So My m-mom and d-dad are m-mi-missing?" I felt the hot tears on my face. He quickly wiped them away. "Baby, they're okay, they'll be fine. We don't even know if they were on that plane." I nodded trying to calm myself down, but it wasn't working. "I'm here for you no matter what, okay." He looked into my eyes and I nodded before he planted a sweet kiss on my lips.
