3 am, 17th april,,, 4 days till lia's birthday, 24 days till tour and grace's 18th

i woke up to my phone ringing on my nightstand
*lia*

"hello?" i heard a voice down the phone
"lia?"
"no oh god i'm sorry"
"who is this?" i said getting worried
"i'm sorry i'm so sorry" the voice kept saying
"what the fuck is going on?" i asked
"there's been a car accident and oh god the girl with this phone was involved oh god. they are in queen crows hospital" i let my phone drop to the floor and i instantly felt sick.

"KIAN KIAN KIAN" i yelled over and over until i couldn't breathe. he ran into my room
"what's wrong?"
"someone called me off lias phone, she's been in a car accident i don't know who with but they're at queen crows please take me"
he stood there unable to move for several seconds before nodding
"come on"
the ride took 20 minutes but it felt like forever, neither of us could talk and i felt sick the whole way. as soon as we got there i practically jumped out of the car running to the entrance

"h-h-hi my friend was just brought in"
"it's not really visiting time but, name?"
"uh-h-h li-a-a-a woo-o-o-o-d" i said through tears
"go through the door and then left" she said looking sad. i nodded before running down the hall, i couldn't breathe i needed to see lia. i had to know she was okay. she couldn't not be. not lia. she was eighteen in four days. we had tour. she had george. fuck. george. i didn't even think. had someone rang him? was he with her? my head was spinning and i felt like i was going to faint. i continued to push through door and run down the long, stretching corridor, down and down. i finally arrived and i couldn't bring myself to push through the. final door. i stood, heavy breathing for a couple of minutes before i pushed through.
