---Lexi's Pov---

I pull into the hospital parking lot. I grab both my girls hands and walk with them into the building. I had to be strong for my girls whatever happened my girls needed to know we would be okay. I walk through the doors and to the desk.

"Hi excuse me but I'm Lexi Pottorff my husband and son are here where are they?" I ask as I try to keep my voice steady. I was so worried I would loose everything.

"Room 301 and 302 they're connected. And Ma'am I would hurry." She tells me and I nod racing up the stairs my girls following closely behind. I find the door and open in. I take a deep breath before walking inside. I see Sam laying on a bed with oxygen mask attached and I.V.s everywhere. I look over to see Zeke laying lightly in the bed no oxygen but same I.V.s. I look over to see the doctor.

"You must be Lexi, I'm sorry to tell you this but we are rushing your son off to surgery right now, and your husband there isn't much we can." He tells me and I slowly walk out with my girls, clenching my fist trying not to cry.

"Okay, thank you." I whisper. I pull out my phone and call all the old O2L boys then Sam's parents and then my own. I try my best not to cry during every conversation. Keeping a smile on my face for my girls.

"Okay girls, Zeke and Daddy got in a car accident and aren't feeling too good. Daddy might not stay in this world very long." I tell them trying to be the best mother I can being as gentle as I can.

"Why don't you just say he's dying. That's not fair, THIS ISNT FAIR!" Allie yells. Tears brimmed her eyes and I brought her close to me.

"Shush honeybee sometimes God has to bring people back home and maybe it's just time for daddy to go home." I tell her bringing Lou into a hug at the same time.

"Ladies if you'd like to speak with him nows the time." The Doctor tells us and I nod standing up grabbing both the girls hands.

"How's Zeke doing?" I ask and she smiles.

"Oh the surgery went well and he'll recover soon enough." She tells me and I smile.

"Thanks heavens I couldn't hope for anything better." I tell her and she looks at me smiles and walks away. I pull the girls into the room. I release their hands and let them walk towards their father. It breaks every piece of my heart to see him hooked up to so many machines. He looked on deaths door. I knew we only had so much time. His eyes were open and he slowly turned his head to see us.

"My girls." He whispers in a scratchy voice.

"Daddy." Lou whispers back, "Dad." Allie speaks her voice cracking at the words. "Sam," I release the words trying not to cry.

"Allie come here," He starts and he light hugs her. "You're beautiful and I never want you to forget that. You're going to go through some hard times over the next few years and I'm sorry that I won't be able to protect you. So, no matter what happens these next few years you are the most elegant, beautiful, gorgeous little girl that has ever walked the planet and I will love you forever and ever." He tells her breaking my heart to see the moment in front of me.

"Thanks Dad." She replies tears escaping her eyes.

"Allie come here." He horsely whispers.

"Daddy, mommy says you have to be with God for a while when do you come back?" She asks him and I feel tears run down my cheek.

"Not for a long time sweetie but that's okay because you get to stay here with Mommy. I hope that you get to grow up just like her. I love you so much and you're so beautiful never forget that." He tells her and she smiles and kisses him on the cheek. I walk up to him and smile as I kneel down by the bed.

"I'm sorry I'm putting you through this Lexi, I'm sorry for all I've put you through. My thick headed teenage years and all the tours. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you every single day. I want you to do whatever makes you happy when I leave. If that means getting remarried or never leaving the house. I don't care as long as you're happy because even when I'm gone I'll be here and I'll watch and I just want you and the kids to be happy. Lexi, I love you with everything that is left in me." He finished and I feel the tears streaking down my face we both knew it. It was the end and oh how it was killing me.

"Sam, I love you much more." I tell him and I see his eyes start to close and the monitor flat lines. I sob and grip his hands. My world came crashing down in 3 hours.

~ 6 months later ~

I watch Zeke make it up the stairs for the first time on his own since that day 6 months ago. He lost his legs in that accident. The entire front of the car was smashed and his legs were crushed in the wreckage. My little boy now had prosthetics, but he could walk and that's all I wanted. I followed him up the stairs and helped him onto his bed. Then, I did something I never thought I would do again. I walked to my room and pulled out my old YouTube camera. I set up a tri-pod and got all the angles adjusted.

"Hey YouTube it's Lexi," I smile at the camera. "It's been a while almost 15 years. Now I have a story...It started almost 15 years ago, I had all my bags packed and ready to go..."

Well that's it, this is the end. I hope you enjoyed it I'll have a follow up authors note in a few days. I love all of you who have supported me through this book I love you all, Lexi.
