Future Journey 3/3

6 more days

Colleen POV

WE enjoyed our 6 more days of paradise. On the last day we were packing and ready to go home to see the kids.We loved all of our alone time. Josh came up behind me and kissed me as I was packing distracting me. "Excuse me MR Evans, we won't make the plane if you continue to distract me" I say laughing. "Thats okay with me" he says as he continued into the bathroom to get showered and dressed so we could leave. I continue packing and his phone rings which is lying on the bed. I walk over to see if I can see who is calling in case its Rachel about the kids. Its his brother. I pick it up "Hey Jeremy!" I say. "Colleen is Josh there" he sniffs while asking. I can tell he is crying. My heart is sinking something is wrong. "We are in Hawaii and he just stepped in the shower...whats wrong I can tell in your voice something is up?" I ask cautiously. "Erin is in hospital. Chris said he found her in their bedroom after work. They aren't sure whats wrong yet as this just happened an hour ago. But she is unconcious. My parents are a mess and I just wanted to tell him" he says to me. My heart is broken. This will kill him. He loves his baby sister. "Okay I will tell him and get him to call you back ok? Please stay by your phone Jeremy" I ask him. "Of course. I am on my way to the hospital" he says. I hang up. I can hear Joshua singing in the shower, so happy. I sit on the bed and start looking up flights to Georgia because I know he will want to go. I find seats that leave from LA stopover 2.5 hrs after we land. I call my sister and ask her if she can continue watching the kids as we had the emergency with Erin. She says of course and tells me to go and be with Josh. I stand up and walk into the bathroom as Joshua is walking out of the shower. He looks up at me and thinks I am coming for him as he says jokingly "last chance". I walk up to him and hug him sadly. He knows something is going on as I have his phone in my hand.

Josh POV

I see Colleen walk into the bathroom and I thought she was coming for me. But quickly as I looked ar her face and then she hugged me that something was wrong. Very wrong. "Baby whats wrong Colleen?" I ask pulling her out of the hug. Colleen has tears streaming down her face. "Your sister was found unconcious after work at home. Chris found her. She is at the hospital. They aren't sure what is wrong with her" she says while crying. "Jeremy just called and I picked up your phone" she adds. I am stone. I feel tears running down my face and instantly think to her and Chris and my parents. "I need to go Colleen" I say. She nods. "I booked us both a flight there right after we land in LA to connect" she says. "You are coming too? what about the kids?" I ask. "Rachel is okay, she told me to go" she says. I hug her tight. I am so grateful to have her come with me. I pick up the phone and call Jeremy back and tell him our flight info and that we are coming. I also tell him to tell Erin I am coming. "tell her big brother is coming Jeremy" I say while crying. We finish packing and get to the airport. While sitting at the gate for our first flight I get a text from Jeremy. Erin had an aneurysm and is in ICU. I am balling my eyes out and show Colleen the text. She starts crying with me as she hugs me sooo tight. I feel numb. I start shaking and Colleen doesn't know what to say or do. I calm myself down as much as I can. I am doing my best to get to her.
