Trapped In Her Heart

"Sebastian," she called him out again but he was too engrossed talking to someone over the phone. 

Looking at the speeding car, Ellie increased her speed and rushed towards him.

Before the car could hit him, she grabbed his blazer and pulled him towards the sidewalk. 

Both of them ended up falling down but Ellie ended up hitting her head on the cemented par.a.p.et. 

The car which was about to hit Sebastian ended up losing control and crashed against an electric pole, creating havoc in the entire area. The driver of the car tried to escape sneakily but the locals who had already gathered around the area were fast enough to catch a hold of him before calling the police.

Sebastian, who was still in shock, quickly composed himself and started checking on Ellie. He had no idea what had happened but the first thing he could think of in a situation like this was Ellie and her health.

"Ellie—"

Forcefully lifting her head, Ellie placed her hand on his cheek and panic strikingly asked, "Are you okay? Please tell me you are okay."

"Yes I am okay but you—"

"Thank God that you are okay Seb, thank God," she muttered before passing out.

"Ellie! Hey, wake—" he stopped midway and started panicking when he saw blood trickling from her forehead. 

Tapping her cheeks, he tried to wake her up, "Hey El, wake up. Talk to me, Ellie." 

Not knowing what to do, he panic strickenly started looking around for help. He started feeling muddled headed and his legs felt wobbly. He had no idea what he was supposed to do and what he was doing.

"Hey quick, take her to the hospital," someone shouted.

"Someone call 911," another person shouted.

"The hospital is nearby, so you should take her there quickly. I'll stop a cab for you," a man suggested.

"Hospital, yes hospital," Sebastian muttered before scooping her into his arms. He then rushed towards the cab that was waiting for them.

….

Inside the cab.

Asking the cab driver to drive faster, he kept pressing his handkerchief on her bleeding forehead, occasionally calling her out and tapping her cheeks but she wasn't responding nor opening her eyes which was freaking him out. 

Just then Ellies phone which was inside her bag started ringing.

Sebastian somehow managed to take it out and he quickly received it when he saw who it was.

"Hey El, where are you and Seb is with you? He is not receiving my call and we have need attend a very important meeting toge—"

Cutting Noah off, Sebastian trembled, "Noah, it's me. I am taking Ellie to the hospital right now and—"

"Hospital? What happened? Are you both alright?" Noah frowned.

"I am okay but El she—"

"Hey, don't worry okay? I'll be right there. Which hospital?" 

After giving him the address, Sebastian shoved the phone inside his pocket and impatiently asked the driver to drive faster.

Pulling her closer, he muttered, "I won't let anything happen to you, please be okay El."

...

Hospital 

When Noah, Melissa and Ava arrived at the hospital, Sebastian was pacing back and forth in front of the emergency room.

"Seb, how is Ellie? And how did this happen?" Melissa asked who was equally concerned for both of them.

"I-I don't know, she was inside the ice cream parlour and then she suddenly pulled me away and w—we ended up falling and—"

Placing his hand on his shoulder, Noah tried to calm him down, "Hey, relax okay? Don't panic, nothing is going to happen to her."

"I—I can't Noah, I cannot lose her. She was with me but I still couldn't do anything." The feeling of Ellie getting hurt despite being with him was killing him and he was going crazy. The fear of losing her was haunting him and he couldn't imagine his life without her presence at the moment.

Ava and Noah had never seen Sebastian so scared and nervous. He was always very calm and was the best at keeping his cool at hectic situations like this so seeing him like this was very strange and unusual. Even Melissa was quite surprised after seeing Sebastian's reaction.

Ava frowned when she saw his bleeding knuckles. Grabbing his hand, she snapped, "You need to get this dressed." 

Retrieving his hand back, he shook his head, "I am alright."

"No Sebastian, you are not okay. You need to get this dressed," Melissa insisted.

"I need to be here with Ellie right now and I don't give a damn about anything else," he snapped.

"But—"

Gesturing Ava to let him be, Noah sighed. Seeing Sebastian's condition, he knew that no one would be able to persuade him at the moment.

After sometime, the doctor stepped out of the emergency room. "The patient's family–"

"How is she? Is she alright?" Sebastian asked anxiously.

"The patient is out of danger, the wound wasn't very deep and she fainted because of concussion. We still need to keep her under observation for a couple of days." The doctor informed everyone before walking away.

Sebastian, who was still not very convinced and he would never feel at peace no matter what happens until she talks to him, kept on looking inside the emergency room. 

Placing his hand in his shoulder, Noah sighed, "Dude, she is fine so stop worrying and get your wound dressed first." 

"No it's alright, I wanna see her first."

After sometime when Ellie was pushed out of the room, Sebastian quickly followed her behind.

….

Private room.

Holding her hand, Sebastian quietly sat down beside Ellie while Noah, Melissa and Ava were standing in a corner.

Just then, the police arrived but since Sebastian wasn't in the best condition to deal with them, Noah volunteered himself to cooperate with them.

Walking towards her brother, Ava placed her hand on his shoulder. "Hey stop worrying, she is alright." 

"It's all my fault Ava, I shouldn't have taken her out." Placing her hand on his forehead, he sighed.
