Seeing Colours

~Chapter Seven~

Emilia looked at the perfectly placed lifeless body lying under the oaks and instantly regretted everything she had ever done to poor Addison who was now clinging on to her life and each second was probably going to be her last. She ran to the toddler and started to stroke her golden hair. Emilia looked at Addison to see what looked like dog bite marks all over her face and shoulders. It was now that Emilia really regretted not telling Addison first they had never not told anyone anything. This was her fault. While Chase rolled the toddler onto her back before starting CPR.

Emilia held her breath and let out a small gasp each time a compression happened, and each time no breath entered the small child. Addison was lifeless.

After a few minutes of no life, a small crowed started to form and a stranger in the crowed called the number that Emilia wished she would never have to call. Emilia was so distraught that she couldn't talk to the officer who arrived to take over to try and all she could do was nod Sshe felt her insides do a tumble turn and it felt like all she could faint at any moment. She looked at the infant hooked up to many machines, all beeping simultaneously keeping the tot alive as the paramedics worked on her.

She watched as the toddler slipped both in an out of consciousness. This scared Emilia, but knew what effect it would have on her mother. Emilia let a small tear fall out of her left eye before stopping it, not wanting to show Addison that she was weak and she was still fighting for her. 

As she stared down at the toddler, the whole few years of Addison's life flashed in front of Emilia.

She remembered a few years ago before Addison was born her and Ethan had been sitting on the couch quietly eating Oreo's while watching nothing particular on TV, when Both their mother and very frail father came in. Emilia was thinking the worst, her father hadn't been well for many months now and she thought that it may be the bad news, that both Ethan and Emilia had been preparing themselves for for months. but it wasn't. It was more happier. She was going to have a little sibling. 

For a few months Emilia hopped it would be a little sister, while Ethan hopped it was a brother, however they both made and agreement that they wouldn't let this new sibling come between their closeness. It sadden Emilia as she new many people her age that wouldn't or even couldn't give two hoots about their siblings. where Emilia and Ethan where as tight as a constrictor knot and nothing could pull them apart and they had been like that ever since Emilia was in diapers. 

Emilia smiled remembering how happy she was when Addison was born. She would finally have another sibling around, especially with Ethan going away to college in less than a year's time. This upset Emilia as she was worried about how in fact this was going to affect their brother/sister relationship. They where often called unbreakable and nothing could break them apart. She looked over at Ethan, to see him holding newly born Addison in his arms with a single tear rolling down his right check, as he kissed her little baby pink forehead. Emilia knew at this moment, that they would have one thing to keep him coming back from college. Addison.

The three of them where inseparable for the next year. Both Emilia and Ethan had been the ones to witness Addison's first step and Melia had been the young one's first word. 

It was at this point that Emilia wasn't too sure how she would cope without her "mini-me" around.

She was also concerned about how her mother would cope if she lost yet another memebre of her family. With her husband dying a few months prior Emilia did not think that her mother would be able to cope.

"Save her," Emilia said in a whisper before kissing Addison's hand as she was being wheeled out of the smbulance before going into resuss. None of her family was allowed in the room so they gathered around the door watching as the doctor yelled "clear" and placed the defibrillator on her chest, while the heart monitor quickly picked up and started racing like a cheetah in the Savannah. She had lost too much blood, and was being raced to surgery. As the family followed to the waiting room for who knows how long they would spend here.

"This Is not your fault," Chase said pulling Emilia into a hug. As Emilia placed her head on his chest, Chase placed his head on hers. They stayed there. Emilia felt safe.

"Is she okay?" A voice came from behind Emilia.

Emilia turned to see it was her older brother Ethan she walked over to him before hugging him.

"It's all my fault", Emilia said into his chest. "If I had of told her straight away and not told mum we would not be here and Add wouldn't be clinging onto her life." Emilia said in tear as she explained the whole situation to her brother with the guilt getting to her.

"Look at me its not you fault this was an accident, k?" Ethan said.

Ethan walked over to their mother and cradling her in his arms as they wait for the news on Addison.
