Mandolin Rain

Harry's POV

I grab Niall's phone and look for Elliot's number. I call over and over again but no one picks up. I'm pacing back and forth trying to figure out what to do.

“I have to go see her.” I tell no one in particular.

“It's a 14 hour flight.” Liam reminds me.

“Yeah, but if it was Sophia we wouldn't be having this conversation. You would have been gone already.” I words leave my mouth sharply. Liam rolls his eyes.

“Well a flight leaves in an hour to LA from the airport.” Zayn looks up from his phone.

“Book it.” I tell him as I run to my bunk to get my passport and backpack. I'm not even packing clothes, just odds and ends.

“What are you going to do when you get there?” Louis asks me.

“I don't know, I don't even have a working phone right now but I'll bring it anyway.” I'm frantic.

“Harry, what about the show tomorrow?” Liam reminds me.

“We'll cover your parts.” Niall steps in rubbing the back of his neck. “Have we heard anything on her condition?”

“Her jeep flipped four times before it came to a stop and then someone hit it going 60 miles an hour causing it to flip on it's top. She's in bad shape.” Louis informs me as I bring my hands up to my face and scream.

“Why was I such a fucking idiot?!”

“Just be there and everything will workout.” Zayn tells me, smiling at me. At least I know he'll support me.

“Harry!” I hear Paul yell from the door, I'm a little nervous as to what he'll say. “Are you leaving or what?” I catch his gaze to see he's smiling at me. “Let's not waste any more time.” He hits the door frame a few times and I follow him out throwing my backpack over my shoulder. God I hope she's okay.

16 hours in a plane is exhausting but I'm determined to see Elliot as soon as I'm out of this airport. It's been tipped on twitter that Elliot has been in an accident, and most people know by now that I'm not in Japan anymore, I'm dreading going outside of the airport. I'm hopeful that people know this is a terrible time for me and they let me be free to race to a car to get to the hospital. The same hospital I was in when I got into my accident.

I don't have to wait for my bags, I just shove everything into my backpack and I'm one of the first ones off the plane as I quickly dart around people yelling random “I'm sorry” and “Excuse me.” I got asked a few times for autographs but I politely declined and told them I have to get to the hospital. I feel bad but I'm hoping they understand.

I get to the bottom of the steps and I can already hear a crowd yelling for me. I lean my head back, pissed, but I can't show it. Paul arranged for me to have a car pick me up thankfully and Caroline gave me her phone to use so I at least have one, so thankful for her.

I see Nathan and Ryan, my usual security guards waiting at the door for me. I look to my left and see a crowd of screaming girls. Can't they just leave me alone at a time like this.

“Hey Harry, I'm sorry about Elliot.” Ryan tells me.

“Thanks.” I pat him on the back.

“You ready for this? Everyone tried to keep it quiet man.” Nathan tells me. “We'll just go as usual, I'll be in front, Ryan in back, we'll just push through.” I nod my head clutching my bag a little tighter, I just want to see Elliot.

The doors open and I all but cover my ears with the screaming. I keep my head down as people are getting pushed left and right and cameras flashing in my face. Girls yelling for me, telling me they love me. I stop as girls are pulling on my shirt and Ryan is gently trying to get them off of me. A girl bumps into me and Ryan all but catches me before I fall over. We're almost to the car, almost to the car I try to motivate myself.

I get pushed violently from the back as I drop to my knees catching myself in with my hands as the crowd goes insane. Ryan lifts me up and people are pulling at me like crazy. One girl grabs my shirt and I feel it ripping. I don't even care, I would literally rip my shirt off and throw it into the crowd if they would just back off and let me get to the waiting SUV.

Nathan finally reaches the door and struggles to get it open, I can actually hear him asking people to move. He finally forces it open and I slide in side, Ryan yelling at girls to get away so they don't get hit.

The SUV is already started and I just want to floor it to the hospital but we can't because people are surrounding us. We can't even move. The driver is honking as people are hitting the sides of the SUV and I all but break down into tears, I'm just too overwhelmed. I try to wipe them away but I just want to see her.

“Open the sunroof.” I ask as Ryan pushes the buttons and I pop up to a chorus of screaming fans. I use my hands to ask them to lower the sound bringing it way down. I know they can see my tears.

“Please, please, please, I beg you to move. I'm sorry I can't take pictures and meet all of you, I really want to please believe me. But my girlfriend was in a really bad car accident, I just want to see her. Please let us pass so I can get there.” I plead as the crowd starts to part. “Thank you so much.” I drop back into my seat and wait as we drive.

We arrive at the hospital, thankfully it's quiet and no fans are there. It's close to seven PM, a day after her accident, I'm exhausted, I only slept a few hours on the plane not able to stay calm enough to rest.

I jog to the front desk asking for Rain Morgan's room number. The receptionist looks at me then types into her computer, “Sixth floor, room 1543.” She tells me as my face darts around. “Elevators are just down the hall to the right.” I nod in appreciation and run off.

The elevator dings and II race off looking left and right for a sign to tell me where her room is. By a quick assessment there are rooms all around the perimeter of the building and everything else in the center. I see a sign and quickly jet to my left reading the numbers as I pass them.

“Harry!” I stop in my tracks and see Joe and Rose eating some candy.

“Where is she? Is she okay?” I ask frantic.

“She's in ICU. She had emergency surgery because she had some internal bleeding. She's not in good shape.” He shakes his head.

I close my eyes and ball my hands into a fist. “Can I see her?” I ask preparing myself for the worst.

“Yeah. I'll sign you in since your not technically family.” He takes the lead leaving Rose in the chairs and pushes the call button and I hear a voice.

“ICU.” A male voice booms out.

“Here for Rain Morgan.” Joe tells them and the doors swing open and we walk in and I prepare myself for the worst. “She's just down there.” Joe points to a room at the end of the hall and I look back at him, he must be able to read my face. “It's going to be okay man.” He pats me on the back and turns to walk out, leaving me there.

I slowly walk to her room and see her I almost cringe. Her arm left arm is in a cast, she has cuts and scrapes up and down her body, her hair is pulled back messy and I notice two black eyes. I put my hand to my mouth to not let any noise escape as I turn to leave.

A nurse steps in front of me. “You're not going to go in there?” She asks looking past me.

“Um, she's r-resting.” I stutter out.

“No, it's okay, you can go in there.” She looks like she won't take no for an answer so I slowly turn back around and get closer to her.

Silence.

No laughing or smiling. My beautiful Elliot just looks like she's in so much pain.

All I can hear is the beeping of the monitors and the oxygen being forced down her. I hear a squeak and see the nurse I just talked to.

“Can you tell me what happened?” I ask her, taking a seat, I'm not sure if my legs will be able to support me more.

“Well she's going to be okay. She just needs extra monitoring. She hit her head pretty hard so they've been watching for brain bleeding, that's where her black eyes have come from, as you see her arm is broken from the impact, she crushed some of her ribs, and is suffering from a collapsed lung. As a result from her crushed ribs she had internal bleeding which is why she had that emergency surgery. She has spots of stitches from the glass as you can see and bruises. She's pretty banged up, it was a rough crash.” I notice her name tag, Ruby. “She's in a medically induced coma until the swelling goes down in her brain, as soon as it goes down the doctor will slowly let her come back.” She nods at me, turns on her heals and walks out leaving me with Elliot.

I watch her for a while before I get the courage to speak. Before I even say a word the tears are flowing, no matter how much I try to wipe them away I just can't. “Elliot. Please listen to me. I'm so sorry. I'm here, I love you so much.” I reach for her hand but realize that even if this one doesn't have a cast, her knuckles are all scraped up. I can't help but rest my head on the bed and cry.
