Fight for us

Oh brother

Ellie Pov

"Car pile up on twenty four west street" hearing the alarms I climb into passenger side of the ambulance while Megan drives like always, I have no problem with her driving as it I ever get a call from the school I can answer it without a problem. No one at the station know anything about it apart from I want furniture and I'm glad about that as I don't want them knowing I have a little child, I prefer my life separate. Following behind the fire engine I look at the traffic it's holding up, I have no idea what to expect when I get there but I'm hoping it doesn't sound as bad as it does, I want to be home to pick my son up and take him out for a little bit but it's looking less then likely with work later, I have consider going part time like any normal single mother would do but I have family to help even though I feel bad about my parents and brothers helping I can't help it. Joey dropped my son off at school before work today as I had to be in before school start, my son Logan has told me he understands and likes spending time with his grandparents but it still makes me feel like I'm failing as a mother, sometime I wish Tristan was still here as he would know what to say and do.

Pulling up to the accident site I grab the medical bag before looking where to start but a black car peaks my interest in the far side of the accident, rushing over hoping I'm wrong I make it too the black car and once I get a quick look at the reg plate my heart drops. Standing at the driver side of the door I see my brother joey bleeding from the head, he looks pinned down by the drivers wheel, grabbing the c-collar I strap him up hoping it's not as bad as it's seems, I'm so thankful the idiot was wearing a seatbelt or I would of killed him myself

"Joey how you feeling" I ask calling down a firefighter and a back board needing help to get him out of there, I want to scream and yell at him wanting to know what happened but I can't as I stand there waiting for them to pull him out the vehicle. Once I got him in the back of the ambulance I'll be ringing my parents and our other brother, I'm not about to lose someone else. With joey on the back board I race him back into the ambulance, the cut on his forehead and what looks like a broken leg, I have stable the leg and his neck, he should be safe till we get him to the hospital. Sitting in the back off the ambulance I look at my brother thinking how this could be worse, my son could still be in the car but he wasn't and I'm thankful for that, I would of died on the spot if he was in the car, with Megan driving I pull my phone out my back pocket

"Hey, joey was in a car accident. I'm taking him to the hospital now. I'll meet you there" I say to my mother as she try to ask questions on the phone but the less I say the better, I don't want her to cry while driving. Sliding the phone back in my back pocket I look at my son but I don't miss the look in the mirror Megan is giving me

"Ellie is that your brother?" Ignoring the question I look back at my brother who looks stable so far but I'm not missing anything, I'll be making sure he has the best care as well, I have seen worse patients when they have been in a care accident and immediately it makes me feel better.

Pulling up to the hospital i follow joey into the hospital refusing to take my eyes off him, I have Megan on my heels behind me watching my every movement, as we pulled up to the hospital Megan was straight on the radio to our chief I reckon, I shouldn't of treated my family but I wasn't leaving him in anyone else hands. Being stopped at the doors I have to watch as they treat my older brother, I have tears running down my face as I watch on, I know how head injuries can be and I'm hoping this is nothing. Taking a seat i wait for any news about my brother, my parents should be here any minute now, my son doesn't finish school for another couple of hours so I don't have to worry just yet. Seeing a bottle of water place in front of my face I look up to see Megan standing there with two bottles of water and a straight face, I don't know what she's thinking but I hope she won't say anything right now till I have news from the doctor

"Thank you" I say taking a couple of sips, I have waiting so sitting here right now is killing me, I just want to run into his room and take over.

Standing outside while my parents wait I have my other brother standing next to me keeping me calm, As I thought Megan has radio the chief and covered my shift, she given a quick I hope he's ok before leaving for the station, she didn't want to leave but I told her it was ok. The last I heard from Megan was when she texted telling me she come by when she has a quick second. Even when I push everyone away they all come round giving there support. Walking back inside the hospital I look to my parents but they haven't heard much so instead of waiting I look around the room and spot Mr know it all, he's the only doctor I know who works here, pushing my insecurities down I walk towards him

"Hey I came in here with joey hart, I was wondering how he was doing" I ask looking at him hoping he doesn't give me your not family speech, if he was as smart as he looks he would put two and two together as my eyes are Red and puffy from the tears rolling down my face

"Let me look, he's been admitted. The ct and x rays have come up clean but they want to keep him here over night to watch the head injury" nodding my head I let out the breath I been holding but instead I let the tears go as I think about how worse it could of been. I have heard about all the other injuries and my brother got really lucky.

Feeling arms wrap around me I hear him whisper 'not here' in my ear before dragging me into what looks like a supply closet, he gives me a nod before closing the door behind him. I don't know what to think as I let it all out, I hit the wall a couple of times before wiping my eyes. I feel a little better and when the door opens he looks at me with the blue eyes

"Are you ok?" Nodding my head I give him a quick thank you before walking over to my brother room, my parents are already sitting at each side of him. Looking over his notes I find the doctor right about what he said, some how I knew he wouldn't lie to me considering I'm a paramedic but I just wanted to be right about it and now that I'm staring at my brother, I feel better about him although I'm still going to kill him when he's awake.
