ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 26

For a minute, I genuinely thought Diana was dead.

I don't know what I would do if she was.

But she's not so I can't think like that.

She needed surgery.

It's been 4 hours since she was taken to the operating room.

Angelo was declared DOA.

Athena hasn't stopped crying.

Call me heartless but she looks and sounds like a dying whale-clown.

After what felt like an eternity, a nurse came out and called my name making me shoot up and tower over the feeble nurse.

"Diana's out of sugary and stable. You can go see her" she whispered.

Upon hearing the last sentence, i rush into the hospital room to see Diana in a hospital gown drinking water.

I rush up and hug her as do the rest of my brothers.

I freeze when I here her next words.

"What happened after we got taken?"

Oh no.

A tear escapes my eye.

He's gone.

We went home. Elijah told me what happened.

They all left to give me some space.

He can't be dead. 
It's all my fault.
If I hadn't moved us around he could have lived.

"It's all your fault." Athena cries from behind me.

"It's all my fault." I whisper, even more tears pouring out my eyes.

She charges towards me and straddles me.

She sends punch after punch to my face.

Don't fight it.
You deserve it.

"It's all your fault!" She chants after each hit.

"It's all my fault." I repeat as my vision begins to blur.

I hear someone's voice before it all goes black.

I go up to Diana's room to see if she's awake and hear a vase break and crying.

I rush into her room but stop when I see her crying and screaming.

She pulls the duvet of the bed and rips it apart.

She pushed everything of her desk. Laptop. Papers. All of it.

She throws the books on her shelf off the balcony.

Her cries go quieter as slides down the wall, head in hands.

I go up to her and hug her.

I don't talk.

I just comfort her and whisper sweet nothings to her.

"I get why Athena's upset but.." a sob escapes her lips and my heart breaks for her.

"I lost my brother too." She cries.

I pick her up bridal style and lay her in the empty bed.

I clings to me and wraps her legs around mine.

I stroke her head "go to sleep, love."

She nods slightly and cuddles up to me.

I give her a soft kiss on her forehead as her breathing steadies.
