"What the hell?" Niall is thrown forward. I am trying to squeeze my eyes shut but they have a will of their own and stay open. I see Harry trying to regain control of the car and getting it to stop at the side of the road. It all happens really fast. When we finally come to a stop I am frozen to the seat.
"Are you all ok?" Harry turns to look at Niall and me.
"I'm ok, Jamie? Are you ok?" Niall turns to me too. I'm just sitting still frozen with eyes wide open. "Jamie? You ok?" Harry asked again.
"I'm ahh… umm" I stutter.
"She's in shock" Niall unbuckles his seatbelt and rushes out the car. He opens the back door and bends down to me.
"Jamie?" He turns my head "Are you hurt?"
Harry gets out of the car as well and walks over to where Niall is bent. Niall undoes my seatbelt.
"What just happen?" I ask looking up at them.
"I don't know" Harry said looking at the wheels at our side of the car "It felt like one of the wheels burst". Niall helped me out.
"I'm fine, I'm ok Ni just had a fright" I say putting my palms to his cheeks. He takes my hand and we follow Harry round the car looking for the damage.
"Wow" Niall and I say at the same time. The wheel looked like it broke off and bended.
"That explains" Harry says to us.
"Explains what exactly?" I ask
"The burning smell the smock the fact I couldn't move the steering wheel" Harry gives me a list. "Didn't your car just come back from the shop?" Niall asks
"Yes! That’s what's so frustrating" Harry bangs his fist to the hood.
"As long as we are all ok" I say "How far are we? I'll call El she can come get us, while you call that shop and make them come down to help us" I say taking out my phone "Shit!"
"What is it?" Niall looks down at me
"No reception" Harry waves his phone at us.
"Great, what do we do now?" I ask
"Let's not panic" Harry says
"Harry, we are stuck in the middle of nowhere with no reception, and its getting dark" I say my voice getting higher with every word.
"Calm down Jamie, I have a little reception" Niall puts a hand on my shoulder.
Harry uses Niall's phone to call the car insurance to tell them where to come to.
I sit at the passenger side at the front of the car, my feet on the road.
"We still have time until the sky darkens Jamie" Niall says leaning on the cars body.
"Doesn't this freak you out even just a little?" I ask him "We are in the middle of god know where and we stopped right at a curve, a car can fly by and hit us any moment" The truth is I'm petrified which might sound like I'm exaggerating to some, but I have been in a car accident once before and it is not pretty.
"You're absolutely right Jay- get out of the car" Niall pulls me to my feet
"But why?" I can't even sit in the car?
"If a car does come and hit Harry's car I don't want you sitting in it" Niall says matter of fact.
"Didn't think of that.. you are smart you know" I squeeze hug him.
"So I'm told" He kisses the top of my head.
"So I told those idiots where we are, hoping they understood and come fast" Harry walks over to us "The reception is kind of bad though" Harry hands Niall back his phone "Thanks mate".

We are sitting on the side of the road for over an hour. It's getting dark and it's getting cold. And to make things worse Niall's phone is running out of juice.
"What a day" Harry says
"Tell me about it" I sigh
"Why are there barely any cars driving by?" Niall asked
"Good question" Harry says. We sit quietly for a while more.
"I'm cold" I rub my hands together and blow on them as I do.
"Come here" Niall pulled me closer to him and rubbed my arms. "We were stupid not to bring you a coat" Harry looked at me with sympathy
"You didn't know we'll be stuck here" I tell him
"Here I'll move closure to you so our body heat will keep you warm" Harry slid himself closure to me. I was already wearing Niall's jumper and I was freezing, so I couldn’t let myself feel weird about being squashed between my boyfriend and a guy I dated.
"What time is it?" I ask
"Almost 6" Niall leans his head to mine.
"Jamie" Harry is rubbing his hands together, he too is cold "Do you feel like everything happens only to you?" once again Harry just asks me whatever is on his mind
"Meaning?" I look at him. I knew what he meant, but I wanted him to spell it out.
"Well you get bullied by this classmate of yours, then stalked by a creep, then being hospitalized with a possible diagnose of leukemia, and now this" He says. Niall is looking at him with an open mouth, shocked out of his mind with Harry's tactless comment. But since I was already thinking what he stated out loud I start laughing, and Harry joined me.
"I can't believe you said that" Niall finally said when we calm down.
"Why? I was thinking it too" I smile at him
"Well so did I but you don't see me stating it like that"
"Well, maybe you should, I can handle it" I say. Niall shakes his head in disbelief.
"I should write a book about my life." I say again after a few moments
"People will think its fiction" Niall answers me
"Well who ever knows me will know it's not"
"You talk a lot" Harry looks at me
"No I don't" I frown at him
"Yes you do" He mocks me
"Niall!" I turn to him, he should have my back
"Well today you're talking quite more than usual" He gives me an apologing smile.
"Why do boys always have each other's back? Always!" I throw my hand in the air.
They both chuckle.
"Why is it taking them so long to come? I bet you Eleanor is worried sick" I start up again
"See?" Harry and Niall say at the same time. Just then we see a flash of light. All three of us stand up and Harry waves his hand to get the car to stop.
"Hello" He says when the driver stops.
"Are you guys ok?" The woman sitting next to the driver asks.
"Umm, well we are kind of stuck, you see, something happen to the tire and we are waiting for help. But it's been hours and it's dark and cold and there is no reception" Harry tells them
"Oh no where are you headed?" The driver asked.
"To the university" Harry smiles making his dimples pop. He must know what they do to people.
"Well, weren't getting there but if you'd like we can get you closure, at least to a place with reception" The woman suggested.
"That would be great! My friends would really appreciate this" Harry turned to us "Go with them" He said.
"No way! We aren't leaving you here" I say
"Jamie, you just got out of the hospital. It's dark and cold you have to head back" Harry looks from me to Niall "You go with her"
"Harry you can't stay here alone with no reception that’s ridicules" Niall stated.
"But you can't let Jamie get in a car on her own with strangers" Harry whispered back to him. I could see Niall was torn about what he should do.
"We all stay" I say to them
"No Jamie you go" Niall said making up his mind
"But Niall" I start
"Jamie, we can't keep these nice people waiting" Harry cuts in.
"What is the problem?" The woman asks
"Jamie here is having a hard time saying goodbye to her boyfriend" Harry smiles at her
"Now now dear you will see him soon, come in before you catch a cold. Did I hear the boy right? You're on your way back from hospital?" The woman looked at me with concern
"Jamie get in, call Eleanor she should come meet you with my car wherever they let you off" Niall kisses my lips and opens their car door. He pushes me in and closes it.
"Good luck you two" The driver says to them and we drive off.
I'm in a car with strangers, in the middle of I don't even know where and my phone doesn't work for now. Great.
"So your name is Jamie?" The woman turns to look at me. I nod
"What a lovely name" She smiles "I'm Susana, and this is my husband Charles" She offers her hand for me to shake. I reach out to shake her hand and smile at her.
"What a lovely smile you have as well" She says "poor thing so you were at the hospital? What forever for?" Dramatic much?
"Um, just checkups nothing serious" I smile again.
"Good thing we drove past when we did, people take the new road now" She glances at me.
"What is the name of the road you picked me up from?" I ask. I save her answer to my phone so I'll remember. I should get Niall's car and get Louis or Liam to drive me back there.
"Is it ok if I use my phone for a minute?" I ask as soon as I see the reception is back "I want to call my roommate to tell her where I am so she won't worry and where she should pick me up" I explain
"Call her so she shouldn't worry, but there is no need for her to pick you up, I'll take you to campus" Charles said
"You really don't need to do that, my friend will be happy to meet me wherever you'll let me off" I say.
"Nonsense" He waves it off. I call Eleanor.
"Jamie?!?! What is going on I was trying to call you for hours" She yells
"Long story I'll tell you when I get to the flat, I didn't have reception. Are you with Louis?" I ask. "Yeah one moment" I wait for Lou to get on the phone.
"What's up?" he answers.
"Louie I need you to get Niall's keys. Be ready I need you to drive to where I left them" I say. I fill him in on a short version of what happen.
"Where are they?" He asked. I gave him the name of the place.
"I'm leaving now with Liam, you get back and stay with El" He says
"Louie call the company Harry uses to make sure someone really went to meet them" I say.
"I will" He answers and Hangs up.

---

"El?" I call out as I walk into the flat. It is full of balloons "What is this?" I ask as she runs to me.
"I got you some balloons and gummy bears as a kind of thank god your well theme.
"Ah you're fantastic! Thank you" I give her a hug.
"I tried calling Niall but his phone is probably dead already and Harry still has no reception" I say.
"Neither do Louie or Liam" Eleanor says "I tried them just before"
"Let's go wait at their flat and we can make them some food, they must be hungry" I say.
As we walk to their dorm room I fill Eleanor on everything that happened. We decide to tell Zayn and Perrie tomorrow. No point getting more people worried.
We make some fish sticks and cut a salad. Eleanor tried calling them again but got voice mail. I was starting to fall asleep. I was exhausted.
"Jay go to sleep, you had a long day" El said
"I want to wait for them" I rub my eyes
"Go sleep on Niall's bed I'll wake you when they get here"
I am so tired that I get up and walk slowly to Niall's room. "Hey El, how is your foot?" I ask remembering. "Much better" She smiled
