"Holy shit," Niall softly said while he stood in front of the window in the living room. Liam stood up from the couch and walked to his bandmate who was still wondering out of the window.
"What is it," Liam spoke while he laid a arm over Niall's shoulder. Niall simply pointed towards a girl who didn't look too great and walked passed their house.
"Is that?" Liam started. Niall simply nodded, "Yeah that's Amelia."
Amelia was their neighbour girl and was around 10 years. When the boys moved here 5 years ago they only saw her for like ten times.
"Oiiiii," Louis said while he and Harry walked back into the living room returning from their grocery stop, "you know who we just passed." Louis said when he laid the groceries on the table. "Yeah Amelia," Niall said sadly, "we saw her too."
Louis nodded while Harry tore open a package of crisps. "Harry," Liam said seque mad, "we have dinner in like half an hour." Harry tried to say sorry but failed because his mouth was stuffed with crisps. Liam had to laugh and returned back to his pans.
Niall grabbed the remote control and zapped through the different stations and got bored after a few minutes.
"Hazza," Niall started which made Harry look up, "in for a card game?" Harry simply nodded and laid his package of crisps aside. Niall got up from his - he most say - comfortable couch and walked to the closet where the boys kept all sort of games.
When he grabbed a stack of cards, he saw something happen in an eye sight.
He turned his head around to the road and found Amelia laying there.
Niall's eyes widened and practically sprinted towards their front door.
Harry spotted where Niall sprinted to and ran directly after him.
Amelia laid unconscious in front of their sidewalk and Niall had lifted her up in bridal style. Harry held the door open for him and closed it when Niall entered their house.
"Harry and Niall," Liam yelled from the kitchen, "I'm not heating this house for birds now are we? So close the door next time." Liam, who had still no idea about what happened, came walking in the living room but dropped the spoon - he was still holding from cooking - to the floor and ran toward Niall who just laid Amelia on their couch.
"What happened?" Liam questioned while he crouched down and checked for a pulse. Amelia her pulse was slow but steady.
"Don't know," Niall said while getting their emergency bag, "I found her like this." Liam nodded and tried to wake Amelia up with success. Her eyes began to flicker and shot open immediately by which Liam was a bit taken back. Amelia wanted to leave in an instant but Harry, who stood next to Niall, managed to pin her down to the couch.
"Hooo not so quickly Amelia," Liam smoothly said. "No," Amelia said while tears were welling up in her eyes, "I can't be here. Please let me go. Please." Amelia was now in full on sobbing mode. Niall found something odd about her reaction but Liam and Harry sadly nodded.
Liam nodded to Harry to let her go which Harry did and when he released his arms of her she practically ran out their house.
"Well," Harry said after a few minutes, "that was weird." Liam and Niall nodded in agreement but decided not to say anything about it anymore.
"She was clearly dehydrated," Louis suddenly spoke up. The three of them jumped a meter into the air because they were scared of Louis's sudden words.
"I'm sorry," Niall said clinching to his heart dramatically, "but never ever scare me like that again." Louis laughed but than turned deathly serious. "Yeah Amelia. She was pretty dehydrated. She ran into my in the hall."
Niall pulled up his shoulders and was about to tear open the package of crisps before Liam pulled it out of his hands. This caused Niall to set up a wobbly lip. "Yeah you can it," Liam smirked, "my pasta in a minute so come and collect your board."
"Yeah," Harry and Niall both screamed in union. They practically ran into the kitchen where Liam just finished the plates for the boys.
————————————————————
"I don't know about you," Liam said stretching after getting up because the movie just ended, "but I'm calling it a night." Louis nodded and stood up as well. Niall and Harry on the other hand had different plans. As soon as Louis closed the in between door behind him, Niall and Harry started up Netflix in order to watch Coco.
"Hazza," Niall said while he put up the settings, "our candy is still in place so get that please."
Harry immediately knew what Niall meant since the two of them had hidden a tremendous amount of candy in a cabinet.
Harry left not to return much later with his hands full of crisps and M&M's.
"Yeah we'll get through the movie with that," Niall playfully said.
Harry threw himself onto the sofa and waited for Niall to start the movie.
"Let's roll," Harry wined. Niall laughed and hit the play button.
"Harry pause it," Niall suddenly said halfway through the movie.
Niall heard familiar screams and yelling.
"Ni what," Harry started but got interrupted by Niall who just pointed his finger in the air.
Liam - who woke up from the screams as well - ran downstairs because he thought something was going on down their.
He was clearly relieved when he saw Harry and Niall listening to the same sound as well.
"Amelia?" Liam questioned. Niall and Harry both nodded in agreement before turning towards their window.
They saw that the house a few meters from theirs was fully lighted. It was weird that almost every light in their house was till on at 2.30 a.m. Alright it was odd too that Niall and Harry were still watching Moana at this time but that wasn't as odd as this.
Suddenly they saw a small figure stumbling out of the house and before they knew it Liam ran outside to catch Amelia.
"Hey girl," Liam smoothly said, "you'll be fine yeah. I've got you."
"Zita," Amelia chocked out, "she's sti...." Amelia blacked out in Liam's arms but Liam knew by now that there still was someone else in that house that needed his help.
Luckily Niall came sprinting out and grabbed Amelia from Liam and returned to their house.
Liam decided to go and get Zita so Amelia would calm down.
"Zita," Liam yelled the house but didn't got any response. He was about to leave when he suddenly heard yelling coming from the basement.
"You disgusting little bitch," an unfamiliar manly voice said. Liam slowed his pace and silently opened the door. There was a small ray of light coming from the basement and didn't became any brighter when Liam made his was downstairs.
Liam was shocked, no he was humiliated, by the sight he saw when he was finally reached the basement.
A little girl, most likely to be Zita, with Down syndrome was beaten and silently sniffing.
The man was about to raise his baseball bat but before he could hit Zita he got stopped by Liam's sharp and stern voice. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The man lowered the bat and now aimed for Liam. Liam managed to dug and grab Zita in his way. Once the man wanted to hit him again, Liam already ran with Zita in his arms to the front door.
Zita clinched to Liam's shirt as if her life dependent on it. Liam softly stroke her hair and ran directly into his house.
Once their he closed the door behind him and let out a sigh of relief.
"Great Li you're back," Harry said whose eyes were red and puffy which indicated that he had been crying.
"I'm heading towards the hospital and prepping the OR," Harry said while running out of the house.
Louis - who clearly just woke up - made his way down the stairs.
"Was happening," he said while rubbing sleep out of his eyes. Liam looked at Zita and handed her over to Louis. "Take her and follow me." Louis nodded and followed Liam into the living room where Niall was sitting next to the sofa where he had laid Amelia on.
"Li," Niall said when Liam and Louis entered the living room, "come here please."
Liam - who was head of the children's ward and ran the trauma team- crunches down next to Niall and saw that Amelia was in a very bad shape.
Niall, head of neurological, and Louis, who was head of the nurses, just stood aside and let Liam do his job.
"Alright," Liam started while he picked up Amelia, "Louis can you drive with your own car and take Zita with you. Niall and I will be going with mine because I think she has serious brain damage and Harry is prepping the OR already."
Louis nodded and left to his car and placed Zita in it. Zita began to brabble and laughed when Louis tickled her stomach.
"Yeah you're beautiful. Yeah you are," Louis said while he blew raspberries on her stomach.
"No," Zita said sadly, "daddy said Zita stupid." It broke Louis heart and hugged Zita who great fully hugged Louis back.
"Zita luv u," Zita said while she put a slobby kiss on Louis's cheek.
————————————————————
"Lay here down here," Liam said to Niall when he laid Amelia on the bed that was stationed in the ER.
Niall, who had Amelia in his hands in bridal style, laid her on the bed and hooked up some machines.
"Alright Li I want an CT and a CAT-scan ordered before we check any further."
Liam nodded in agreement with Niall because in cases like this the neurological trauma got more precipices than the 'what if' treatments.
Liam called the X-ray ward and they gave in that Amelia could be seen right now.
Liam and Niall both got on each side of the bed and rolled her down the hallway.
Halfway through Amelia began to move a bit. "Hold on a sec," Niall said to Liam while he stopped walking backwards, "I think she's waking up."
Amelia slowly came around and the first thing she saw was a too concerned Niall hanging above her.
"How ya feeling," Niall asked her. Amelia had no idea, did she feel anything? By the time the realisation of everything kicked in she frantically began to look around.
"Hey calm down love," Liam said while pulling her into a hug.
"Zita," Amelia got out of her mouth.
"Yeah I got her," Liam reassurances her. Amelia seemed to calm down a bit by Liam's words.
"We're getting some pictures of you Yeah," Niall said while they drove her further down the hallway.
Amelia simply nodded and wanted to go back to sleep but was stopped by Liam who said that she couldn't sleep until he had gotten the results back.
Amelia replied with a simple 'yes' and sat straight again before Niall and Liam wheeled her into the X-ray room.
"Alright Amelia," Niall said while he lifted her onto the bed, "I want you to lay as still as you can Yeah so Liam and I will get the whole picture."
Amelia responded with a sniff. Niall had put her into the machine and went to stand with Liam on the other side of the window.
"Alright kid," Liam spoke through the speaker, "now lay still Yeah."
Amelia tried to lay still as she could and Liam and Niall anxiously waited for the scans to pop up on their screens.
"Holy shit," Niall gasped when her brain and lower body scan popped up.
"That's a hematorax, ruptured splint and a severe brain trauma."
Liam agreed with Niall and pulled Amelia out of the machine as quick as he could.
"Call Harry and tell him we're on our way," Niall said while he ran out of the room to get Amelia laying on the gurney again.
————————————————————
"So Amelia," Harry said while he put an oxygen mask over her mouth, "you know what we do right?"
Amelia slowly nodded, too weak and scared to answer.
"I want you to count from ten to one. Can you do that for me love," Harry said while he unhooked the IV and put the anestesia into the place where the IV line was seconds ago.
"Ten. Nine. Eight. Sev....." Before Amelia was by seven she already had fallen asleep.
"Alright people," Niall started, "it's a beautiful night to save lives."
"Alright Harry scalpel," Liam ordered.
Niall on the other hand was busy shaving a bit of Amelia her hair so he was able to undo most of the neurological damage.
Once he was finished shaving he got his bore and drilled two holes into her head. "Harry can I get two of the pincers (those long thingies where you've a camera and a grab thing at the end. But I've no idea how there called so yeah, pincers it is) please."
Harry handed Niall over what he requested.
After three hours Liam was able to repair the bleeding from her splint.
Niall on the other hand was no where near finished. The Ct scan didn't show a sign of a brain bleed but now while Niall was working in there, there most definitely was a brain bleeding.
Suddenly Amelia her stats were dropping and the machines were beeping.
"God what's wrong," Liam said while he stood next to his colleague within a second.
"I don't know but there's too much blood here," Niall said while Harry handed him over the suction machine.
Suddenly Amelia her heart stopped beating and Liam didn't hesitated when he leaned over her chest.
"Push another 30cc of Epi," Liam ordered Harry while doing the chest compressions.
Harry pushes the amount Liam asked for into Amelia her system and not too much later her heart beater again.
All three of them let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright I managed the bleed so I'll close her up," Niall said and got the material from Harry.
————————————————————
Louis was sitting in the waiting room with Zita.
He checked out Zita first but she got lucky with a few bruises and scratches.
Louis knee that Amelia was a different case and that her fragile live was just hanging in there.
"Wauw Zita," Louis said while sitting up, "What a colour plate do you have there."
"Is for Louis. Zita luv Louis." Louis heart melted with those words and picked her up.
"Papa meany," Zita said while snuggling into Louis's chest, "made Zita sad. Made Mila work hard and get kicked."
Louis estimated that she meant Amelia but couldn't pronounce it so Mila it is.
Zita was still talking to Louis when Liam entered the waiting room.
Louis immediately stood up with Zita bouncing on his hip.
"How is she," Louis great fully wanted to know.
"Stable for now. She had a hematorax, ruptured splint and a brain bleed. She arrested in the OR but we brought her back. She's in the ICU so you can't see her right now."
Louis nodded and knew that Amelia had been lucky.
Zita on the other hand now wanted her sister so Louis decided to bring her to the ICU were she could see Amelia from the other side of the window.
"Mila," Zita said while putting her tiny hands against the window.
"Mila sleep," she said referring to the sleeping mode her sister was in.
Louis nodded and responded that they probably should be heading towards their beds too while Zita rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
Zita nodded and buried her head into Louis's side where she grateful fell asleep.
————————————————————
"Niall," Amelia whined, "can I go outside."
The boys adopted Amelia and Zita three months ago. Amelia was released from the hospital a month after the accident happened.
"You have any headaches?" Niall questioned her. She shook her head. "Alright then you can go. Love you," Niall responder and kissed the girls cheek.
