It was like ehhh 20000% better in my head. Sorry about that 😅😂
"It's mine," Zayn laughed as he ran away from the youngest of the three orphans which he shared a room with,"No alright here you have it." Zayn ruffled through the boys hair. "Now I can color," the 4 year old Tobias happily stated.
Harry, who was turning 10 in a few weeks, sat down at Lola her bed, breading her hair.
Zayn loved his little bunch of people he had in the orphanage. "You ready for your game my love?" Zayn asked as he got into Lola her eyesight. Lola nodded and smiled at the 12 year old raven haired blooke.
Lola and Tobias came in 3 years ago, while Harry and Zayn were there already for 6. Lola was 3 and Tobias bearly 1.
Lola her parents died due to suicide, which Lola magically did survive, and Tobias his parents neglected him and left him on the porch of the orphanage. They both got placed with Zayn and later Harry came in the same sleeping room.
"Do you actually have everything packed Lo?" Harry asked as he got Lola her hair tie into his mouth because he was almost finished with the first half of the braid.
"Yes I do," Lola responded. She was training at their local field hockeyclub. She got enrolled by the sport by one of her best friends from school and because Lola didn't have the money to pay anything of the hockey contribution or even a stick, the parents of Charlotte offered the orphanage the change to let Lola play hockey.
Today was her first match. It was a match that was postponed and now was held on a Wednesday.
Zayn, Harry and Tobias promised to watch the game so they were bringing the 6 year old to the club as well.
"Lo," Tobias asked as he still layed on his belly coloring, "can you sing the again?" Lola knew which song Tobias meant and started with the song from tangled.
"Flower, gleam and glow," she began,
"Let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine."
Harry decided to join with the other verses and Zayn actually melted by the singing of both.
"Heal what has been hurt. Change the Fates' design. Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine."
Harry gave the last part to Lola again
She sang the last part if there was no tommorow. "What once was mine.."
Tobias stopped coloring and Zayn just smiled. Lola her voice was one of the most beautiful and purest he had ever heard, and believe him he had heard a lot of different voices during his time in the orphanage.
"Wauw," Tobias said as his mouth fell open. This made Lola shy and hit into the body of the 9 year old that was breading her hair. "Hold on," Harry said as he was till trying to get a hair tie in, "I'm almost done."
Zayn watched the scene unfold and packed his bag pack with things for Lola such as a drink and a banana.
"First match must be really exciting," Zayn exclaimed as he climbed onto the top bunk. Lola nodded and made Harry his hands bend in funny ways during the act.
"Lola really I'm not kidding," Harry sighed as he tied the second band into her hair, "I don't want you to have messy hair."
Harry was all over the looks of Lola. Once he saw the shoes Lola had, he went with Lola towards the shop and used all his pocket money for the rest of the year so that Lola had amazing pink shoes.
Harry finished the braids and Lola hopped off the bed. Zayn got her shoes for under the bed and undid the laces so Lola could get in more easily.
Zayn tied up the shoes. Lola was able to do that herself but since Zayn didn't want her to tie them up every second of the game.
"I'll get Tobias ready," Harry offered as he dressed up the youngest of the four. Zayn nodded and continued tying the pink shoes.
"Alright we'll go down to get the bikes out of the shed," Zayn said as he was done, "Tobias can go sit at the back of my bike because it's quite a big road we need to cross."
Harry nodded as he was still trying to dress Tobias who was running and jumping around the room.
"Yeah I'll come down soon," Harry spoke, "once this happy little bunch is dressed I'll come down."
Zayn laughed and lifted Lola up to his hip. He bounced her up and down when he walked from the stairs.
"You're really ready aren't you miss?" Zayn laughed as he got down. Lola nodded so hard Zayn almost dropped his 6 year old roommate.
"Let's get the bikeys," Lola said smiling. She untangled herself from Zayn his grip and ran towards the garden door.
Zayn wanted to follow Lola but got stopped by Miss Robin, the owner of the orphanage.
"Hey Zayn," she smiled, "Lola just ran past. Say to her that I wish her luck and that in so so sorry that I can't make it."
Zayn smiled. He loved the owner because she got such a nice personality. "I'll pass the message."
Miss Robin to a step aside and Zayn thanked the lady before he walked towards the door that Lola was still busy trying to open it.
"Here I'll help," Zayn spoke. He unlocked the door and did it open. Lola immediately sprinted towards the shed where all the bikes of the 27 orphans were kept.
Zayn spotted his bike once he opened the door right away. He got a green bike which stood out against the others. He took it out and pulled the standard off the bike to let it stand outside.
Now he just needed the purple bike of Lola and the yellow bike of Harry.
Zayn found Harry's bike at the end of the shed.
"Really?" Zayn wondered. Lola jumped up and down because she knew Zayn had to lift Harry's bike to even get it out of the shed.
"Yeah you like it don't you?" Zayn laughed at the jumping 6 year old. Lola nodded and heard the garden door being opened. This usually meant more public for Zayn. Once Zayn turned around he was faced with Harry, who clearly was worn out by dressing up Tobias, and a Tobias who was already wearing his helmet.
Tobias always wore a helmet because he swore to the gods that it looked fabulous on him, somehow Harry managed to get influence into that little boy.
"Hazza," Zayn spoke, "can't you like borrow the one of Trevor?" Zayn pointed to the bike of Trevor which was in his reach. Harry nodded knowing Trevor had nothing to do this day.
"How about Lola's bike?" Harry asked. Tobias was running around chasing Lola. Zayn pointed to the purple bike on the other side. Harry got it out the shed but when he put it down he noticed the bands being soft.
"Oww really?" Harry sighed. Zayn sighed as well. "Yeah we don't have time anymore," Zayn spoke, "just lift her up and let her sit at your bike."
Harry nodded and Zayn called the two youngsters in.
---------------------------------------------------------
The two boys drove around the city to get to the hockey fields. They turned up to the bicycle road. There was a bicycle road on the right and a road where autos and trucks drove. Zayn and Harry always watched out.
"Hold on yeah Lola," Harry said as he made sure that the 6 year old hugged herself closer.
Zayn could hear a truck coming from behind but he didn't hear the racing bike coming closer and closer.
The race biker was busy with his shoes on the other hand and didn't notice the two boys driving on the road as well.
Just as the truck wanted to take over Zayn and Harry, the racing bike got twisted into Harry his tire.
Lola got flung into the air and landed on the road. The truck driver watched everything unfold and stepped on the brakes. However he didn't brake enough and ran over Lola with one of his large tires.
The bike already drove further because he wanted nothing to do with it.
Zayn immediately hopped off his bike and screamed bloody murder.
"LOLA! NO LOLA," Zayn yelled. Harry, who fell of his bike as well, stood up and ran towards Lola who laid under the truck. Zayn was on his feet immediately after he put Tobias down on the porch, leaving the little boy scared to death.
Harry reached Lola first and fell down to his knees onto the road.
The truck driver jumped out as well and was shocked by the fact that there laid a 6 year old girl under his truck he ran over.
Zayn came closer and immediately saw it was completely wrong. Her neck seemed to be separated from the rest of her body.
"Harry no don't," Zayn calmly spoke as he hold Harry who wanted to hug Lola, "we can't move her buddy."
Zayn looked up and saw that the driver was calling an ambulance.
Zayn knew he needed someone who wasn't in shock and prevered an adult on the scene at the moment.
Zayn looked up and saw a good 200 meters back a house.
"Harry," Zayn said as he untangled himself from the grip, "go back to that house and ask for someone to help. Take Tobias with you and leave him there if possible."
Harry nodded, grabbed Tobias under his arms and ran towards the house if there was no tomorrow.
Zayn on the other hand was still busy processing the whole thing he just saw.
Harry came to the porch and immediately rang the doorbell twice. A young looking male opened the door and was faced with an distressed Harry and a scared looking Tobias.
"Hello lovelys," the man spoke as he reached to eyesight, "what can I do for you."
"Accident," Harry cried and pointed towards the road where the truck was in eyesight. The man stepped outside his house and saw the truck standing still.
"What do you mean love," the man asked not getting a clue of what Harry wanted, "what's wrong with the truck?"
"Lola," Harry cried, "she lies under it."
Now Harry was full on sobbing and Tobias wasn't looking good either. The man noticed and grabbed Harry by the hand as he ran back inside his house.
"LIAM," the man yelled as he entered the house, "GET HERE NOW."
Liam, who was upstairs doing paperwork from the hospital, got scared by his husband yelling to him and ran towards the staircase.
"Jezus Lou," he spoke as he went down, "No need for yelling."
Liam also saw a crying Harry and Tobias hiding between Louis his legs.
"There's a girl ran over by a truck," Louis started, "get your fucking ass there and I'll keep these two here."
Liam his eyes were falling out so shocked was he. He hadn't heard anything coming down their street, not even police or EMTs. He thought it was so serious and his husband was overexcalirating.
"Yeah I'll go," Liam spoke as he got his shoes on, "just at the en-"
Liam couldn't finish his sentence because he stepped outside his house and immediately saw a truck standing still and a pair of little legs under that. 'fuck fuck fuck,' Liam thought by himself as he ran down the street. The closer he got, the more he began to worry about the girl under the truck.
"What happened," Liam yelled as he reached the raven haired boy and the little legs. Liam laid down on his belly to see how the girl was doing. What he was faced with was beyond horrific. Her leg was bend in a funny angle, her back and neck seemed to be completely shattered and internal bleeding were high on his list.
"Hey what's your name?" Liam asked to Zayn. "Zayn." he answered. Liam nodded.
"What happened Zayn?" Liam asked as he was now looking into the distressed eyes of the boy.
"A bike wanted to get passed us," Zayn spoke, "and oww God. She got thrown into the air and ran over by the truck."
Zayn was now hyperventilating and in shock. Liam knew he wasn't dealing with one patient anymore but with two.
"Hey try to breathe buddy," Liam said as he laid Zayn his hand on his own chest, "here copy my breathing. They'll be here soon."
---------------------------------------------------------
In the hospital, Niall was sitting in the cafeteria. He was just finishing up his rounds at the ER. If Liam wasn't there, then Niall was in charge together with Ashton. Ashton usually did the general while Niall became more concerned about children.
Ashton was still busy with doing rounds when two of their paramedics walked in.
"Hello Ni," Luke spoke, "coffee?" Niall nodded and watched as Michael sat down.
"And how was it?" Niall asked as he looked over the paper to Michael. "Actually good," Michael said smiling, "the 90 year old just couldn't get up herself. We ju-"
Michael couldn't finish his sentence because all three of their pagers went off.
"Alright listen up," Niall spoke as he quickly got up, "6 year old girl. 29-D-1 (major incident), 'm and r (m= auto VS pedestrian, r=possible death at scene). 29-D-4 (trapped victim), 29-D-5 (not responding), 30-D-2 (unconscious), 30-D-4 (chest and neck injuries) and 30-B-3 (unknown body area)."
"She's the only victim?" Luke asked as he secured his jacket, "because if this is true than we're about to walk into a mess."
"Apparently so," Niall spoke and grabbed the helmet for the helicopter, "I'll go with the Chopper and see you two on scene."
Niall ran away to the helicopter which was already starting up. Niall hopped into the seat and off they went towards the scene. Niall was going through different scenarios through his head. How did it happen? How I did the girl get injured so bad?
**
"It's a good 20 minute drive," Michael spoke as he hopped into the driver's seat, "but buckle up. We'll be there in ten."
Michael flicked his lights and sirens on and Luke was going through the list of stuff he needed to carry with him to the scene.
"I don't think it's a 29-D-1m," Luke spoke, "you can't get such injuries from a car. Sounds like a truck to me."
Michael nodded and drove like a maniac through the narrow streets.
"Ambulance 348," their coordinator yelled through the radio, "there's information about the situation."
"Copy," Luke spoke. This meant that their operator was able to speak up.
"So there is a doctor on scene. You'll the first responder. There's one victim."
"Alright Roger," Luke spoke as he hung up. Michael was still driving through the narrow streets like a maniac. "It says we're there in a minute," Michael spoke, "so glove up."
Luke nodded and got his hands in his gloves.
Michael pulled into the street and saw that the helicopter hadn't landed yet and was flying cycles above his ambulance to find a landing spot.
Luke sat straight in his chair again and saw how there was a truck and someone who blocked his view from the event that was happening in front of it.
"Wait," Luke suddenly spoke as he noticed the man, "isn't that Li?"
Michael pulled up his ambulance and looked towards the scene as well. "Definitely".
Luke jumped out, grabbed a bag and ran towards Liam. As he came closer he saw a shoe laying on the middle of the road and two little legs from under a truck.
"What happened?" Luke asked. Liam looked up and was relieved to be faced with one of his colleagues.
"She got run over by the truck and I can't move the girl," Liam spoke, "and you send the Chopper didn't you?"
Luke made an agreeing sound and wiped the hand of the girl clean in order to fit an IV.
"Alright," Liam ordered, "we need to get her from under here but I rather wait for Niall. We can start SAMPLE history on Lola."
Michael came running now as well with a backboard and a collar.
"Yeah we can," Luke gave in as he placed the IV, "but let me first hang a bag of morphine."
"Great," Liam said as he heard the helicopter finding a spot to land, "get her 10cc of fentanyl as well."
Luke nodded and got both the painkillers Liam requested for Lola.
Liam heard the aircraft land and ran towards his colleague. He knew Niall had to be in the helicopter since their hospital had two people who were able to get on the aircraft.
" Ni," Liam shouted as he ducked his head and watched Niall jumping out, "6 year old girl named Lola. Shattered back and broken neck. Unconscious and not responding. I didn't want to move her so I waited for her. Pulse very weak, breathing shallow and uneven so most likely intubate."
Niall nodded and ran with Liam towards the accident. "Did you already do the SAMPLE history?" Niall asked. Liam shook his head and explained he didn't have time.
Niall and Liam now got to Lola who still layed under the truck unconscious.
"Hey love," Niall spoke as he crunched down next to Lola, "had quite an accident didn't you?"
Niall grabbed Lola her pulse and found that it was rather slow and knew he had to handle quick.
"Alright listen up," Niall spoke, "I want someone to crawl under the truck and get this collar on her. Than we'll shove a backboard under and we'll tilt her out."
Everyone nodded and Luke was the one who had to crawl under the vehicle.
Luke knew Lola laid on her stomach because she was faced down. Neither of the boys knew what kind of injuries Lola had on her head.
" Hey girl," Luke spoke as he got to her,"this will be unpleasant for a bit but it needs to be done yeah."
Luke was struggling with the collar since Lola didn't lay in the best position.
"Yo guys," Luke yelled from under the truck, "it isn't working out. Maybe backboard first."
Niall and Liam agreed. Niall grabbed the board and laid it on her back. "Luke carefully pull the backboard completely over her so we can turn her."
Luke agreed with Niall and slowly climbed to the front of the truck. As he was busy he noticed some stirs under him. He quickly grabbed the back board and signed to Niall that Lola was waking up. Niall nodded and signed back to wait a bit.
Luke carefully slid the backboard over Lola her back and secured it to her.
"Auwww." Luke heard Lola wimper underneath him. The child was scared to death and miraculously she was conscious. It more looked like that it wasn't the question if she'd broken her neck but how severe.
Luke was almost done, since quite a big amount of her laid out of the truck, and went back to comfort Lola.
"Hey girl my name is Luke," Luke comforted her, "I know you're scared and that you're in pain but we need to get you out of here."
Lola wanted to move but Luke managed to strap her down to the backboard. "Hey let's play a game yeah," Luke spoke, "it's called 1.2.3 freeze. If I count down to 1 than you need to be as still as possible. Can you do that for me?"
"Y-yes," Lola choked out on her tears, "I'm scared." Luek got tears in his eyes as well and wanted nothing more for the girl to feel nothing of it.
"I know I know," Luke soflty cried, "alright let's play the game. 3.. 2....1 freeze."
Lola laid as still as possible determined to win the game. Luke now secured the last piece of the backboard and gave the sign to Niall, who laid on his stomach and could see everything unfold, that they could turn her.
" Alright on three guys," Niall spoke, 1.. 2........3." At three the boys slowly tilted the backboard and Luke made sure to keep his hands on her neck as well. Once Lola was turned Liam and Niall got on each side of the backboard and slowly pulled the backboard from underneath the truck.
" Hello love," Niall spoke as he was met with Lola her face, "how about we'll get you into the ambulance and get you checked out yeha?"
Liam and Niall lifted Lola up with the backboard while Michael hold the IV up. Lola got laid down on the gurney meanwhile Luke crawled from under the truck.
Niall and Liam walked with Lola towards the ambulance which Michael had parked next to the scene. This environment gave Liam and Niall a better chance to look at Lola her wounds. They already knew that Lola needed to be moved by the helicopter because she was too unstable to move via the road.
"Let's see what we got here love," Liam started as he took place in the back. Niall was looking around through the supplies they had and started the SAMPLE history on the girl.
"S(ymptoms)," Niall started, "No feeling from the waist down. Unconscious at arrival."
"A(llergies)," he continued, "unknown. I'll ask in a sec by the boy on the road."
"M(education) and P(ast medical history) will be asked as well. L(ast oral intake) unknown. E(vents leading up to present injuries) accident with truck."
Liam nodded as he continued to look over Lola. He knew the girl was weak and her breathing was slow and irregular. She needed to be transported quickly because otherwise she was dying under his watch.
"Ni a word," Liam said as he winked Niall outside the ambulance.
"Mikey, Luke. Get inside and make sure she's comfortable," Liam directed the two the moment he stepped out of the vehicle, "Niall and I need to talk."
Both boys nodded and did what Liam asked before he returned his attention back to Niall.
"We need to move quick," Liam immediately spoke, "I suggest light anasthesia and intubation because the pain will get too much for her. Her vitals are going crazy and if we don't handle quick she will die. That not a question for if but for when."
Niall modder understandly and began to chew on the end of a pen. Liam knew Niall only did that in situations where he was very stressed.
"Hey Ni," Liam stepped in grabbing his mate by the shoulders, "we'll do everything we can to get her through this yeah. Go talk to that bloke over there while I'll handle it here."
Niall thanked Liam and both man went separate ways. Liam made his way back to bring Lola to sleep, while Niall went towards Zayn who was still sitting on the road.
" Hello love," Niall said as he sat next to the boy, "my name is Niall and yours?"
"Zayn," Zayn answered. "What a lovely name," Niall said trying to get a discussion going, "Now listen Zayn. Lola is injured very very bad. She needs to go to the hospital and we'll bring her in via the helicopter. We think she might have broken her back and neck and that she has some internal bleeding."
Zayn nodded and got his hands into his head.
"We want to ask you something," Niall spoke as he laid his hand over Zayn his shoulder, "we want to know where she's allergic for."
Zayn looked up and Niall was met with his bloodshot eyes.
"She's not allergic to anything," Zayn said, "well not that I know off because we're all orphans."
Auww. That kicked in by Niall knowing the girl had been through a lot and now this.
"Alright," Niall spoke, "we'll load her up into the helicopter, you can say goodbye to her and we'll see how you can get to the hospital yeah."
Zayn nodded and followed Niall towards the ambulance.
Liam was still busy with the intubation. As soon as Niall reached the ambulance, Liam called his help.
Liam struggled with the canuala because Lola was still having a neckbrace on because the boys weren't sure were she broke her neck. "Ni help me get it into her," Liam said as he struggled to crack her jaw open. Niall nodded and went to the side of Liam. He took the clamps when Liam tried to shove the tube into her mouth.
"You already gave her etomidate?" Niall wondered wanting to know he needed to administer succinylcholine. Liam nodded as he pulled the tube out and put the bag on it. Usually the boys would hook up a mini ventilation but that isn't portable via the helicopter.
" let's move her," Liam spoke as he stood up. He shoved Lola over via their portable to the helicopter.
Once she laid on the board, Michael held the IV high and ran after Liam and Niall. Zayn watched as Liam and Niall moved Lola towards the helicopter.
Zayn wiped his tears away and watched how Lola got loaded up into the helicopter.
"C-can I sa-ay goodbye?" Zayn hiccuped through the tears. Liam, who had positioned himself already in the helicopter ready for transport, nodded and put Lola her headphones on.
Zayn stood next to Lola and softly whispered sweet words into her body. Liam didn't like to say it but it broke his heart and he let a few tears slide as well. He knew the kids were orphans and Louis and he had wanted kids for a long time. But at the moment that was his least priority. Niall hopped in as well and Zayn ahd to say goodbye to Lola.
"Luke," Liam spoke just before take off, "either bring the bloke to the hospital or bring him to mine because Lou is home and there are two little ones as well there."
Luke nodded and pulled Zayn away. As the helicopter began to take off Zayn was losing it and went into a full blown panic attack. Luke knew this was going to happen and looked after the boy.
--------------------------------------------------------
" Alright 6 year old Lola Mulligan," Liam yelled as Ashton and Calum were standing ready with a gruney, "unconscious at scene. Been giving 50cc of saline and 10cc of fentanyl. Immediately to CT."
The four boys strapped Lola down on the gurney, secured the IV bag and ran with her towards the elivater.
"What happened?" Ashton wondered as they were in the elivater and he was bagging Lola manually.
"Trapped under a truck," Liam spoke up, "it was horrible."
Suddenly the lift came to a stop and the boys walked with Lola towards the CT scan. Niall had notified Calum and Ashton about the accident and told them to get a CT booked.
As they reached the CT, Ashton finally could hook Lola onto a proper ventilation system.
"On my count," Niall spoke, "1...2.....3." By three the boys slowly shifted Lola onto a other bed which did fit into the CT machine. Niall gave a thumbs up to the radiologist. He was the one who would be standing next to Lola all the time while the other three were looking onto the screen.
The radiologist let Lola slowly into the machine and minutes later the CT of her brain came back up.
"OMG," Liam said as he pointed, "how did she not have a single bleeding there. She laid completely under it." Just as Liam was about to loose his shit about the minor injuries, Lola her neck and back CT showed up. This made all three boys wonder how on earth this kid was alive and even conscious at some point.
" This is lost cause Li," Calum spoke as he folded his hands into each other, "this is beyond repair mate."
Liam nodded his head knowing what Calum meant and sighed.
"Continue to monitor her and wait for the abdominal CT," Liam spoke standing up, "if you need me I'm in the waiting room telling Lou and the kids whats wrong with her."
Ashton and Calum koffer as the watched Liam leave in desperate need for fresh air.
As Liam reached the front door, he began to throw up heavily. He just couldn't get his head around the injuries that were shown on the CT and the impact the truck had made. Somehow Lola was a miracle because 99% of all human beings would've been dead at scene but somehow this girl survived.
Liam made his way further towards the waiting room and as soon as he stepped in, his husband and Zayn shot up.
"How is Lola," Zayn said almost crying. Liam had to swallow his tears. "Follow me," he managed to speak out. Louis carried Tobias on his hip while Harry hung onto Zayn as if his life was depending on it.
"Have a seat," Liam spoke as they reached the family area, "I'll be honest with you. Lola is a miracle. She broke her neck on two different places and her upper back is completely shattered. We're keeping her in coma due to the pain she'll be in."
Zayn just stared in front of himself. How could such a beautiful day turn into a nightmare within seconds? Didn't Lola have enough shit already to keep up with?
" Will she ever be able to walk again?" Harry suddenly spoke up. The look from Liam said enough and send Harry over the edge.
He began to cry hysterical and ran away with Zayn closely following him from behind.
Now it was just Louis and a sleeping Tobias that were faced with Liam.
" Lou," Liam spoke. Louis knew something was coming since Liam always spoke that way when he wanted to get something important confirmed.
"Lou would you like to adopt kids?"
Louis his eyes shot up and excitedly nodded.
"Lola needs a lot of medical help which I can provide at home," Liam filled in. Louis agreed, "and Harry and Tobias are lovely blokes."
The two cited into each other's arms knowing this decision was changing their lives for ever.
"Let's go and see how our sons are doing," Louis said smirking towards his husband and smiled.
