The ambulance pulls up and the doors open. Nurses, doctors and surgeons stand asking questions. "What we got?" One asks. "25 year old male, GSW to the abdomen, shallow breaths, antibiotics given on scene." Ashton gets taken out of the hospital. "What about the young man?" Someone asks.

"26 year old male. Bruised and bleeding cheekbone from being hit in the face with the gun" I watch as the other ambulance pulls up. The door immediately opens.

"What do we have?" A doctor asks. "17 year old female, GSW to the abdomen" I watch as she gets wheeled away.

I begin to cry. "She's 18 tomorrow..." I whisper. "I'm sorry?" Someone asks. "She's 18 tomorrow" I say louder so he can hear me. "I'm sorry"

Rebecca and Tom step out of the ambulance. "25 year old female, deep head lack, 17 year old male wound to the cheekbone."

"Get all 3 inside for sutures." A doctor announces. They bring us inside. "Are they going to be okay?" I panic. "Sir, we are unsure at the moment please we need to get your sutured."

I comply taking a seat in a room. All 3 of us take a seat. Doctors begin making charts on us. Doctor Feal, my doctor, she begins to suture my cheek and I watch as Toms doctor, Doctor Helam, she sutures his cheek. Then there's a male doctor who is flirting with Rebecca while suturing her head. I can see she's annoyed.

"I'm sorry dude but I'm gay" she chuckles. He looks confused. "Oh god. I wasn't flirting it's just the way I talk" I chuckle. As I sit back and watch the time past it pains me as I need to know how Chris and Ashton are.

It's been 4 hours and I have a bad feeling somethings gone wrong. I'm pacing in the room. "Cal, come on" Tom states. A few tears hitch my eyes.

Me and Tom told Rebecca about us, she just smiles and said we were cute. I mean she couldn't radicalise is then she'd be a hypocrite because she's in love with my sister. Well they love each other.

I sit down with my head in my hands and breath carefully, I try to keep myself calm. A doctor suddenly walks in. "Chris or Ash?" I announce standing to my feet. "Chris, she's okay. She's stable, you can't see her yet but she's okay. I don't have details on Ashton yet but they may be done soon." I just nod in response and sobs happily. Rebecca comes over and engulfed me in a hug.

"She's okay" I sob into her shoulder. I hear her choke back a sob as well. But I feel her tears drip onto me. I lift my head and inhale deeply.

Then there's just Ashton...

I need to know how he is. All the students, I want to know how they are. I need to take my mind of things.

"I went back to my dad...the night when she got poisoned. I saw this picture on the ground, I think he must have thrown it." I say to her. Tom had fallen asleep with his head on my lap. "Did it have 3 children?" Rebecca asks.

I arch my eyebrows and nod. "I took it from their house, I put it in my room" she sighs. "He didn't knock it off. When I took Chris home that day, when she got...you know. We were getting to know each other and I had a look at the pictures I saw it and asked her then she panicked. I didn't know what it was, there was you, Chris and another child." Rebecca states, she used her hands to talk. I recognise her doing it and I chuckle watching her because it reminds me of Crystal.

"That's our brother. He was my twin brother. But he...he died in a car crash 2 years ago. A drunk driver" I say. "She was 16... she lost her brother. I lost a part of me. His death sent into a larger depression, she was loosing herself... but I broke down..." I sob to myself as I speak. I take out my phone, I search through my photos.

"Adam Sloan" I state. I see tears rolling down Rebecca's face. "I'm sorry." She whispers, she pulls me into a hug. "It's okay" she whispers.

"Ashton Dennings" the doctor announces walking into the room.
