Breathe

Wyatt’s P.O.V

“Nina they’re coming! They’re coming please stay with me please” I cry, my tears hitting the floor as my hands are used to try and stop the blood from flowing out of my sister.

“I-“ She breathes out and then her eyes clench together in pain

“Shh, don’t talk, just stay alive okay please” I beg her, sobbing worse with every word

“We’re going to live Nina just like you said, we’re going to live” I apply a bit more pressure to the wound as I see blood pooling around her and myself.

I hear the copter land on the back end of the yacht, large gusts of wind scatter throughout and relief comes to mind.

A man steps out and starts issuing the swat team to clear the boat

“Help!” I yell once his attention goes elsewhere, there are so many people and my head is starting to feel light. The copter is about 50-75 meters away, 20 men including a medical team sprint to our location.

“What’s your name?” One demands quickly

“Wyatt Vinci and this is my sister Nina Vinci, I’m 24 she’s 18 turning 19 and those men kidnapped us” I try to sputter out as much information as I can.

“Okay Wyatt I’m going to need you to step back and sit over there where you will be medically assessed” He pushes me back slightly as people start to examine Nina, like she’s a dead body.

“She’s not dead!” I scream “Treat her like she’s living she’s not fucking dead!” I snap at them

“Wyatt!” I hear a familiar voice from behind the group
I turn to see Harry, devastation written in his face.

Harry’s P.O.V

Where is she. Wyatt approaches me, blood splattered all over his bod.

“Wyatt, where is she, where’s my Nina” I stutter as my body starts to shake. He breaks down into tears

“I tried so hard to protect her Harry, they never stopped” His words hit me like a thousand bricks, I feel my limbs go weak. He brings his hand up to his mouth to try and stop the sobbing.

“Where is she Wyatt” I yell, tears flooding my eyes. I quickly blink to stop them from falling.

He slowly raises his hand and points to a group of people hovered around the floor.

No…

I rush over and am quickly stopped by Jerry

“No Harry, you cant see this” He pushes against my chest, my nerves are on end

“Jerry let me through” I say while gritting my teeth he stares me in the eyes before slowly letting go of his grasp.

“Nina” My voice feels like a whisper in my head but from the reactions on everyone’s face it was not.

The medical staff work around her body, inserting tubes and checking pulse.

I fall to my knees in front of her, my body feeling a way it’s never felt before. I want to cry, I want to scream but the lump in my throat restricts me.

“Nina” I whisper hovering over her head, stroking her hair gently.

“Please do not touch the body sir” A paramedic informs me, I cringe at the word ‘body’

“Is-Is she dead?” And that’s what triggers it, tears cascade down my face and everyone looks sorry for me.

“Her pulse is weak, we need to get her into a hospital and into surgery as soon as possible”

“Please be okay baby” I say quietly. I look along her body, it’s pale, thin, but stained with blood. I don’t know what happened and I don’t care I just want her alive and healthy. I cant loose her I just cant, the tears progress getting worse and worse.

“Ha-rr” Nina’s mouth opens slightly and produces something that sounds like my name

“I’m here love, I’m here for you, I love you so much” I say frantically incase she passes out again.

“I love you, I’ll always love you, please don’t leave me” I breathe and kiss her forehead.

“It’s time to move her” I’m informed.

“You’re going to be okay baby I promise” I lean back and allow the people to hoist her onto a gurney, quickly they attach a breathing tube and IV to her.

I walk along with the gurney, holding Nina’s limp hand, we enter the helicopter, leaving behind Jerry and the swat team.

“Thank you” I mouth to Jerry, he nods and waves as the copter takes off.

“Steady” A paramedic grabs hold of Nina’s gurney as we take off.

“Straight to UCLA Medical center” he adds and starts to stabilize Nina’s IV.

A cough breaks our silence and it’s Nina’s. My eyes shoot open as blood trickles down the side of her mouth. The paramedics are quick to notice and instantly they start doing things to her and around her that I cant even put to words.

Her eyes shoot open and everyone pauses…

“Ni-Nina” I croak

“Ha-“ She starts and then stops

“I’m here baby, I’ve got you I’m here” my voice breaks

“I’m never going to let anything happen to you” I sound deprived of everything.

“Sin-g to-m-e” She whispers, taking long breaks between words. I pause, sadness filling me as tears pool around her closed eyes.

I bring my head close to her right ear

“I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight” I coo softly into her ear, trying to prevent her from crying more.


“I've never seen you shine so bright”, I swallow and continue hastily

“There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be. But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I’ll never forget the way you look tonight” My breathing starts to become shallow and fast as my eyes push forward tears

“I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight, I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing, I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side, and when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away, and I have never had such a feeling, such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight” I whisper sing into her ear, and a faint smile appears on her tainted face

I wipe away the moisture coming out of my left eye and continue

“I never will forget the way you look tonight...”

“…. I love you”

“She’s crashing!” a paramedic shouts and everyone jumps up to her, I’m pushed out of the way and even though we’re in a copter the paramedics have a good way of shutting people out.

“No!” I try to see what’s going on, the medics have exposed Nina’s top and are placing objects over the tops of her breasts

“Clear!”

A jolt makes me jump

No
No
No
No

I slide down the side of the wall and bring my knees up to my face as I hear another jolt, I arch my head back and run my hand through my hair.

“No keep going, we can’t let her die!” A women yells when the man takes off the defibrillators. I almost feel like I’m not here, like I’m outside of my body watching the scene unfold. I try to stand and protest saying they cant let the love of my life die right in front of me.

The man looks at me, and then the women who spoke up…

“Clear” He pushes against Nina once more “We got a pulse, its slow but we got one” The women smiles in success I move back over to Nina grabbing her hand, holding my tongue trying not to yell at the man who was going to let her die.
“I don’t think she’ll wake up again son” The women places her hand on my shoulder, I frown. I just want my Nina back.

“Thank you” I sound… awful… I stare at my beautiful girlfriend lying in front of me and cant help but realize this isn’t my girlfriend, something horrible happened to her and I just want her back. I want her healthy and I wish I didn’t wait so long to try and find her, maybe If I had been a few days earlier or maybe I shouldn’t have even let her go to California alone.

All these thoughts swim in my head I don’t even realize we’re getting close to the hospital.

“We’re going to do everything we can to save her” The woman says again once we descend into landing.

The copter’s doors open and the medics position themselves around Nina, who is covered in blankets and strapped down to the gurney. I try to get in to hold her hand.

We rush off and instantly are met with a team of doctors, one medic presents Nina’s case to them and fear lashes it’s way across their faces.

“Who’s this?” One points to me I remember that only immediate family were allowed in the room with Nina.

“I’m her fiancé” I lie quickly

“Well we’re going to do everything to save your fiancé, now if you could just follow Mr. Sheppard and answer a few questions while we take Nina into surgery” He talks fast, like a busy man with places to be and things to do. I squeeze Nina’s hand and bend down quickly to whisper into her ear, even if she cant hear me “I love you”

“She’s in good hands” A woman doctor smiles small at me

“Excuse me Mr Styles could you please follow me” Doctor Sheppard already knows my name which means he probably knows I’m not Nina’s Fiancé.

“Could I make a call please?” I ask dully as Nina disappears into the elevators. He nods

I sneak into the waiting room and dial Louis’ number

“Hey mate what’s going on?” He asks sounding cheery and it kills me, everything inside me shuts off and I feel distant.

“Hello?”

“Harry?”

And I break down completely…

Sobbing loudly into the phone, the other people glance at me but then turn away with saddened looks.

“Harry talk to me please what’s happened?” He sounds panicked worried

“Nina-“ I try to make a sentence but cries erupt from my throat. Tears stain my jeans and I sniffle in while rubbing my eyes

“Just please” I start and heave in a breath “Come to the UCLA” I croak

“I need” “You guys” I sound like a disaster, I feel like everything I’ve worked for, everything I’ve tried so hard for has been taken from me, and I’d do anything to get it back, I’d do anything to get her back.

Notes

:(

The song Harry was singing Nina was "The Lady In Red" which is one of Harry's favourite songs in real life.
