His mom hugged him and tried her best to soothe him, his sister sat next to him grabbing his hand and rubbing his back.

The EMT'S rushed in,

"Son, take a deep breath for me." one said, "Crap, his rib is broken!",

Another rushed over with an oxygen mask and put it on him, his mom and sister back off. The EMS gave Benji a shot for him to calm down. They gently laid him on his bed, they brought over a stretcher and transferred him onto the stretcher. They rushed him out into the van, Brit and his mom right behind them.

They rushed to the hospital. They basically jumped out of the van and rushed Benji to emergency surgery. Brit and his mom worriedly sat down. 1 hour passed, then 2 then 3. The clock ticked with each passing second. A doctor walked out and over the the two girls,

"Benji's family?"

"Yes!" they both shot up,

"He's out of surgery, his rib was stabbing at his lungs, so that's why he couldn't breath."

"Well we want to keep him over nights to monitor him, you can see him now."

They rushed to where the doctor said his room was. Benji was curled up in a ball, knees to his chin. His head down looking at his knees. The covers were over his head so you could only see black fluffy hair,

"Benji?" his mom said in a sweet little voice,

He curled up even more,

"Hey, did Dad do this?"

He slightly nodded,

"Benj? How are you feeling?"

"Ok." he said in a raspy quiet voice,

His mom had tears falling down her face,

"Mom, please stop. I'm sorry." Benji whispered,

"Sorry? For what sweety?" she whipped away her tears,

"I put you through all of this."

She started to cry more and brushed his hair out of his face, he weakly smiled. Brit sat on the bed and grabbed his cold pale hand,

"Brit?"

"I was scared Benj, I thought you were gonna really die.", she had tears falling down her cheek. Benji struggled to sit up, his mom helped him and put a pillow behind him,

"Hey, come here."

She snuggled against him, he hugged her as tight as he could.

"I'm sorry, I'm right here."

She gripped his hospital gown, he rubbed her back to calm her down, their mom watched and smiled.

"Can I play on your phone?" Brit asked out of nowhere, Benji grabbed his phone off of the night stand and saw the amount of texts and missed calls from the team,

"Shit!" he mumbled,

"Language."

"Sorry. Hold on Brit I have some missed calls I should take first." she nodded in agreement,

He first answered Tysons call,

"OH MY GOD! BENJI WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED ANY OF OUR CALLS!"

"I'm sorry, I lost my phone." he lied,

"Oh. Are you ok? You sound like crap."

"Ya, I've been sleeping most of today."

"Oh ok, wait is that beeping? Are you at a hospital?"

"Yeah, please don't-"

"WHAT!! Me and Jake are coming over right now!"

"Please don't, just tell people that I have a fever. Please don't tell them I'm in the hospital."

"Fine! I'm telling Jake though."

"Whatever, just don't tell anyone else."

"Ok, feel better soon!"

They hung up, he started answering all of the missing texts, he answered the calls with texts. He didn't want to talk to anyone else, then he read Rin's texts.
