RECAP:

I pulled a still hysteric Harry down on the couch with me. "M-my Mum," he started again, his cheeks wet.

"Go on, love," I urged him softly.

"It w-was, a c-call from the h-hospital," he choked. Oh my God. No. What could've happened. Drug overdose? Did someone break in again? I squeezed Harry tighter.

"T-they said it- she is in, in c-critical condition. She, she's g-got in, in a-an accident!"

HARRY'S POV

I vaguely remembered recieving the call from the local hospital. I vaguely remembered them informing me that my Mum was in critical condition right now, injured from a car accident. I vaguely remembered Zayn holding me, while I struggled to tell them.

And I vaguely remembered getting in the car and being driven to the hospital.

I was numb right now. My mother was the only family I had left, she was my everything. She was so sick, I should've stayed with her despite her protests and taken care of her. I should've never went out today. Then she would've never have left the house.

I felt Zayn squeeze me tighter as I must be crying harder now. We we sitting in the uncomfortable waiting chairs of the hospital right now, but I could care less about my comfort. I just needed to know if my Mum was okay.

"She'll be fine love, she's gonna be okay," Zayn kept soothing me, murmuring comforting words into my ear andI clung tighter to him, trying to subside the pain and fear I was feeling for my Mum.

"I-it's all my fault," I sobbed.

"Of course it's not, Harry," Zayn denied softly. "Babe, these things can happen to anyone, it's not your fault. You couldn't do anything to prevent this. Now we just gotta stay positive."

I know he was right, but I just had to blame myself. It made me feel better somehow.

ZAYN'S POV

It had been almost an hour since we had raced to the hospital, and we were now waiting for new on Harry's Mum. They informed us that she was now in surgery and had quite a few serious injuries, but thankfully she was alive. But she was still in critical condition.

"You want something to eat?" I asked Harry, who was almost sitting in my lap, staring at the wall without blinking. He had stopped crying.

He shook his head lightly, then sighed and covered his face with his hands. My poor Harry. I can't even begin to imagine what he must be going through right now, not knowing if his Mum was going to be okay. All I could do was comfort him.

All of us were at the hospital right now; Liam, Dani, Louis, Niall, Josh, Perrie and even Eleanor, Andy and Niall's brother had came.

Another half hour later, Harry was starting to get hysterical again. And thank the Lord, right at that moment, the doctor came out of the ER.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Wilson. Family of Ms. Cox?"

Harry instantly jerked out of the chair and scrambled to the doctor. "H-how is she? Is she okay? Is she..."
