I'm Already Torn ( A One Direction Love Triangle)

Fight or Flight

            “Magnolia Richards and Lindsay McAdams.” Zayn answered for us.

            “Why am I here?” I asked confused. I looked up at the bright lights and cringed.

            “Honey you’re in the hospital with a severely fractured arm.” A man in hospital scrubs answered me.

            “Huh,” was all I could say. He began pushing the gurney down a long white hallway while the woman in the same outfit talked to Niall and Zayn.

            “Alright one, two, three,” I heard a nurse say to Lissy as she pushed violently against her shoulder.

            “Lissy!” I called out. That was the last thing I remembered before I blacked out.

Beep

Beep, beep

Beep, beep

Beep, beep, beep

            I opened my eyes and looked up thinking I was about to die. The light was so blinding I figured it was my angel coming down from heaven to save me. I wondered why heaven hurt my arm so much. And why it smelled like bleach and antibacterial.

            “Maggie,” I heard Lissy say. Oh no, was Lissy dead too? What happened?

            “Lissy where are you?” I looked around but all I could see was the blinding white light.

            “Over here dumbass,” I turned my head in the direction her voice came and eventually my eyes adjusted enough for me to see her hair braided back to one side. I looked down and saw a blue sling covering her left arm.

            “Lis what happened?” I tried to move my arm up but it felt unusually heavy. I looked and saw my right arm in a pink cast up in one of those slings attached to the bed. It suddenly came rushing back. Lissy on the floor, the boys fighting, Niall and Zayn bringing us to the hospital.

            “Well in short you tried to play hero and when that didn’t work you fractured your arm in sixteen different places and had to have surgery.” She said with her eyes watering.

            “Hey,” I gave her a quick one arm hug. “I'm going to be alright.” In truth I had no idea whether or not I would be but I needed her top stop crying or I would start crying too.

            “Hello Maggie,” my doctor, or who I presumed to be my doctor came in to the room. “Glad to see you’re up.” She smiled warmly at me.

            “How long was I out?” I asked nervously.

            “Just a few hours. When you fractured your arm it nicked an artery and the internal blood loss caused you to pass out. We put you on sedatives for the surgery so you should be feeling slightly woozy for the next couple of hours.” Her voice sounded reassuring.

            “How long do I have to stay here?” I looked to the doctor then Lissy.

            “Just the night so we make sure there are no complications. You should come back in two weeks to have the stiches checked then another eight afterwards to have the cast removed. You might need physical therapy because of how serious the fracture is but all should be well eventually.” She checked her charts. “Would you like something to eat?” I nodded enthusiastically and she laughed. “I think your friend here can help you.’ She winked at Lissy. “I’ll be back in a few hours to check up on you.” She smiled warmly again and left the room.

            “BTW the food here sucks,” Lissy announced as I got myself out of bed. She tossed me a pair of jeggings and blue blouse. I quickly got changed from the gown but had trouble getting my big arm through the holes.

            “Sneak out?” I suggested and she smiled with a glint in her eye of mischievousness.

            “Why Maggie, I would never ever do anything that reckless!” she said in a false voice.

            “Oh no! I must have a rotten mind for thinking such terrible thoughts!” I laughed and grabbed my phone. I dialed up Zayn and waited while it rung.

            “Hey Maggs, glad to see your up,” he answered right away.

            “And hungry,” I might as well get to the point. I wasn’t feeling 100% and wasn’t in the mood to go back and forth.

            “Whadda you want me for? Other than my gorgeous body!” he laughed and I could picture him smirking at the idea.

            “Get your mind out of the gutter and come break us out of this joint.” I pleaded.

            “Bee there in five,” he replied. “So how are you feeling,” he took on a more serious tone.

            “Alright I guess.” It was partially the truth.

            “Is Harry still there?” he asked and I blinked sharply.

            “He was here?” I looked at Lissy and mouthed his name. She pointed to the waiting area down the hall.

            “Yeah he and Lou showed up during your surgery.” I looked around for Louis but couldn’t see him.

            “Alright. Meet us out the back entrance in a few.”

            “See you then.” He hung up and I ended the call.

            “How long has he been out there?” I asked Lissy about Harry.

            “Since he got here I think. Do you wanna talk to him?” she asked hesitantly.

            “Maybe later when I'm not so hungry.” My stomach growled proving my point and she laughed. My phone buzzed with a text from Zayn saying he was outside. I grabbed Lissy’s good hand and we made our way out to meet him. We kept our heads down as we passed the staff there and eventually made it out into the crisp air.

            “Took you two long enough!” Zayn said stretching over to open the back door for us.

            “Hey! Sneaking out of there isn’t as easy as you might think.” I defended and he laughed.

            “So where to?” he pulled out of the parking lot and onto the slightly crowded streets.

            “Nandos!” Lissy said and I laughed.

            “So let’s see, Liam, Zayn, and now Niall?” I said under my breath to her and she blushed.

            “Shh!” she held her finger to her lips. my phone vibrated and I opened the text.

From: Lou Lin :D

Maggie I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have let that get so out of hand. And now you’re lying in a hospital because of me. I just want to say goodbye, my love. I won’t bother you again. xx
