Nick POV
“Finally got my guy nick on this life. If you’ve got any questions let us know” James said as he sat on the sofa with his phone. James loved to do these love streams I personally want a huge fan, but I did do them occasionally.
James had come over to use my pizza oven since he didn’t have one. I’m not going to lie I made the best pizzas.
“alright ladies keep it Pg. will ya” James laughed as he showed me a question that was just wrong. Do people actually ask that.
I carried on typing on my laptop, answering emails and trying to find a hotel for my stay in London next week.
Having three companies has money advantages but at the same time, I never get a break. I think I might let my sister manage one of them just to knock off the stress.
“I haven’t moved houses guys I’m at Nick’s, “he said scrolling to one of the questions.
I decided to sit next to James and look at any questions. “he only here to use my pizza oven” I told them smiling into the camera.
The comments flew in.
He’s killing us
That smile, those dimples uhh marry me already
I thought James was good looking, nick is just on another level
At that comment I smirked over at James “another level, you hear that JJ” I said nudging him. He frowned as he looked for a question that we could answer. It was 7 at night and I guess people were extra thirsty.
For me anyway.
“wait did you see that. James suddenly said bringing the phone closer and scrolling up. I watched him with confusion.
“Jakenslide08, what was that,” he said looking at me nervously. We both watched the comments before his name popped up,
Jakenslide08 haven’t you heard, Selene Edwards and Haan were in an accident
“fuck, sorry guys I got to cut this live short” James instantly ended the live and typed in Haan on google. Instantly there were reports that there had been a car crash near Trafford in Manchester.
James was rushing around trying to put on his shoes and jacket before looking back at me.
Shit
“let’s go dickhead what are you sitting there for,” he asked me well more like yelled at me. I didn’t really know what I was waiting for all I could think about was Selene. Was she okay was she dead?
I followed after him, sliding inside the passenger seat of his car.
James was breaking all road laws as he ran about 3 red lights and parked randomly on the side of the road right before the crash scene.
We tried to get through but obviously, they weren’t letting anyone through. For once I used my name and practically forced my way through.
James gasped when he saw Hannah on the stretcher. She was awake and breathing but I guess they were being extra careful.
“she’s okay” James reassured me. I hate to be a dick, but Hannah wasn’t my main concern. I couldn’t see her anywhere.
My eyes looked over and spotted a man being restrained by two police officers.
I yanked James back and stopped him from ding something that he will regret. I’m thinking this is a case of drink driving or even a hit and run.
“where is she,” James asked me worried.
James has grown a very close bond with Selene, and I could tell he didn’t like this at all. I was worried too but I guess I was much calmer than him.
“James” I nudged him when police officers moved out the way and we could finally see paramedics around Selene as she sat with a blanket round her shoulders.
She had scratched along her jaw and neck and her arm was bandaged up. It wasn’t as bad as I originally thought. James immediately ran over and crouched down before her.
I stood back and watched them.
I decided to go to Hannah and make sure she is okay. I knew she recognised me as soon as walked up to her.
I knew how girls talked, no doubt Selene had talked to her about the other night. Its not a surprise that Selene was interested in me.
“how are you,” I asked her as a guy checked over the scratches on her arms. She breathed out slowly taking small sips of her water.
“I’m okay, Selene took most of the hit” I nodded my head I think we could clearly see that.
The guy finished off his job giving her another bottle of water before leaving.
I pulled Hannah up and led her over to her boyfriend who I could see rushing to her through the police officers.
“its fine has my boyfriend,” Hannah said loudly to the people trying to hold him back. Everyone knew these two were a couple. Both In the public eye.
He bent down and lifted her in his arms. “don’t worry about Selene, we will driver her home” I reassured Hannah who nervously looked over at her best friend.
“she’s in shock nick, please take care of her,” she said to me. I placed my hand on her shoulder.
“we will, ill message you if anything happens,” I told her. I didn’t have her number, but I had spoken a few times to her on twitter.
“Nick!!!”
After Hannah left, I heard the familiar sound of Selene’s mother. Her mother was someone I had gotten close to over the last few weeks she was at the hospital. She told me about her husband being overseas.
She was lonely so when I would visit the hospital, I would always keep her company. I donated to the hospital and often in my spare time I would go meet the patients.
She wrapped her arms around me, her eyes brimming with tears.
“where is she, where is my daughter,” she said looking around everywhere. I took her arm in mine and started to lead her to Selene. James stood around looking confused.
Selene looked like she was in shock.
I can’t blame her, first, she had a woman point a gun at her and now she’s in a car crash. Can this girl catch a break?
Jane ran to her daughters’ side. Both me and James decided to give them their time together and went over to the police officers. I recognised Andy, the officer who was at that event.
If I remember correctly, they knew each other well?
“Every time I’m near Selene I’m normally breaking protocol,” Andy said as soon as we asked him for some information.
He looked around before telling us to follow him. “this wasn’t your normal drunk driving case. Hannah had informed us that the man swerved his vehicle round and aimed straight for Selene’s car. We’re going to question him, but this was intentional”
But why?
“ever since she was little, she always had a driver. Something her father arranged for her when she moved out” Andy said shaking his head.
Something about this seems extra sketchy.
“Nick, she likes you she might speak to you,” James said as we walked over to her. She was just staring at her mother as she spoke, she wasn’t even responding.
The slight tilt of her head now and again.
I was going to say it wouldn’t help but with her mother pleading me with her eyes I thought better.
Guess I could give it a try. It hurts to see her like this.
I knelt down before her. I brought my hand to her jaw lifting it up so that she is forced to look at me. Her eyes widened slightly.
“Selene, talk to me. Are you thirsty what do you need” I said rubbing her arm trying to get her to feel something?
I grabbed a water bottle when her tongue slipped out to lick her dry lips. She flinched when her opened cuts on her lips got wet.
“I want to go home,” she said so quietly, her mother was bending down to hear.
I nodded. I gently pulled her up to her feet. She was weak I could see that, but I could tell she was trying to act like she was okay.
“I’ll take over from here” we all heard a deep voice say from behind us.
I didn’t think this guy had any right over who she goes with. I was the only one she was responding too.
I was about to say something to this guy when Selene whispered more to herself than anyone else. But I heard it clearly.
“Dad”
She whispered the same time Jane whispered “William”
Change of plans, this man has every right.
