Breaking Sanity

Bad News

    [Cole's POV]

    "Cole.....you were in a car wreck." And as soon as those words came through my head I about went into another coma. Worry immediately filled throughout my head about my brother and Kayla and Jenna. If I was in a better condition then they were in, how bad are they off right now? "What about the others?" I asked swiftly. "Ah yes, Kayla Jenna and...." he paused for a brief moment "..and Jay. Well I can assure you they will be just fine."  the doctor started to walk out the door and I heard him whisper "hopefully" and that did it. I about had a panic attack, and fell right back asleep.

-A couple hours later-

     "Cole. Please wake up!" I heard a feminine voice say, while I was being shaken lightly. I squinted my eyes and blinked a few times before realizing that I was being shaken by my mom. "Oh my poor boy!" she sobbed and hugged me so tight that I swore I felt like I was in another car crash. I tried sitting up while all my mom did for the next 20 minutes was cry her eyes out. I just acted like the typical teenage boy and sat there with a bored expression. My dad Kevin was sitting in the chair sleeping, his face was red for some reason... "Mom, you can stop crying now, I am perfectly fine." I smiled at her. At that same moment, the doorknob turned and a nurse came through the door with a chart in her hands. "Oh good you aren't sleeping, hello my name is Claire and I am your nurse, doctor Ely is out today and I will be servicing you for the next couple hours. Hopefully we can get you up and out of here by tonight so you can go back to school and socialize!" she ended with a wink, which made me crease my eyebrows together. "Well I feel completely fine right now..." I said, hoping they would let me out earlier. "Yes, and that's a good thing, but we still need to get some more tests in to make sure you don't have anything happening in ya that we don't know about." she looked over to my mom "Can I get you to sign this chart so that we can get some tests in on him and his...brother." she frowned when she said brother...I wonder why? Is he okay? "Is my brother awake?" I asked her. She just looked at me with a worried expression and as soon as my mom handed her the chart back, she rushed out of the door. I looked at my mom expecting some kind of answer but she just kept her head down and sat in the chair beside my dad. "Honey, theres something we need to talk about." she said with her eyes watering just barely....

     I sat straight up and gave my mother my full attention, one of my eyebrows raised and laying back on my elbows. "When you crashed, witnesses told the police that brought you here that you crashed into 2 other cars that were...racing eachother..." her face looked like she was about to turn into hulk or something.."and they both collided into the front left side of the car...so they pretty much hit your brothers side head on." it seemed like she was trying to calm herself down in her head or something. "when your father and I got here they told us the conditions of you and Jay. Thankfully, you were pretty good compared to the rest. However,-" tears started to form in her blue eyes "Jay isn't doing so well at all...." When she told me that, I knew something bad was going to happen with him. That is never something you want to hear about your own family, your own brother. "The doctor said he might not make it...." I felt my heart twist and I started crying. I never really was close to my brother all too much, but I still felt that bond that siblings have. This is going to be a horrible month. I will probably never get over this. What if he dies? Oh god....

     "He's gone...." the doctor said quietly. I prepared myself for this moment. I couldn't even cry anymore. I was going to be strong, for my brother and my family. Jenna and Kayla were next to me, all huddled up around me crying. It was official. My brother Jay is dead. I don't know what caused me to do this, but I just felt anger. So I ran out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the building. I felt like I was being dragged somewhere, even though I had full control of my body. I felt a ....presence...and so I just kept walking and walking towards it. People kept staring at me like I was some sort of alien. Trying my best, I ignored them, and found myself stopping at a graveyard. "Hello?" I asked stupidly, thinking anyone was around here, in the middle of nowhere. I started observing all of the tombstones and the names of the dead under them. Out of nowhere a hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me backwards, making me fall on my ass and scream a little. I glanced around everywhere while about pissing myself. Nobody was around me? What the hell? Maybe I just tripped? Whatever, I should probably start heading home, it wasn't too far away from here. I wasn't really in the mood for car rides anyways....

     -The next morning!- 

     "Time for school buddy, but you know, you don't have to go if you don't want to. The school won't count you absent...." my mom persuaded me. "No mom, I don't wanna miss, my teachers are too stupid to help me catch up." that was true and all, but the only reason I wanted to go was to be with Brooke. I needed her right now, I felt so alone. Riding the bus was horrible, these kids that go to some kind of home for bad kids ride it. All they talk about is weed and tobacco, god that annoys me. I actually remember one of them talking to Brooke, yeah the really long torso guy. I can't quite remember his name though...AJ maybe? Hm. As the bus stopped I sat up and waited for everyone to get off, and entered the school. Brooke was with Paige, another one of my best friends. They simultaneously looked at me and ran towards me with their arms wide. As I got constricted by these two short girls I chuckled, and people started looking at us weird. "Im so glad you're ok Cole" Brooke said snuggling her little face on my arm. "Hey you two" I smiled at them both. Before I could speak again, another pair of arms came from behind me and turned me around, and brought me into the tightest hug I have had today. I hugged him back, immediately knowing who it was by the fresh smell of his cologne. "Hey Derek" I said with the warmest feel in my heart....
