DECLAN:
It's been 2 hours and Addison isn't answering, the kids are in bed. Jack and I are worried but soon my phone rings. I decide to answer it even though it's an unknown number.
Unknown number
D- Hello?
U-Hello, is this Mr Rice-Mount?
D- Yes speaking.
U-Good evening sir, I'm a nurse from the hospital. I'm sorry to call but it's your wife, she's been in a car accident
D-Is she okay?
U-She's stable for now but she's got a long way to go.
D-I'll come straight away

I hang up and tears are falling, "mate what's happened?" Jack asks and I look at him and say "Ads is in hospital, she's been in a car crash. I've got to go can you watch the kids?" He nods and tells me he'll call Jordan and ask Bex to watch them and meet me at the hospital.
I get in the car and know I need to call Mason, I know him and Ads were on bad terms but if she's in a bad way he'd want to know. I press call.
Mase💙
M-Alright Deccers
D-Mate where are you?
M-Home with my girl why?
D-I need to tell you something
M-if it's about Ads I don't care mate, she slapped Tara, we had a massive row before she left here
D-well that makes what I'm about to say a lot harder then
M-What is it? You're scaring me, is the kids okay?
D-It's Ads, I'm on my way to the hospital, she was in a serious crash after she left you.
M- You're lying?
D-Obviously not, now I don't expect you to... well actually I do expect you to be at the hospital tonight but I know your new girl won't approve. I hope you make the right decision lad, the nurse said it's really serious.

I run through the hospital and see her in the bed, she's unconscious and covered in blood. I sit next to her and hold her hand. I get my phone out and open the groupchat, the lads will be better hearing it from me rather than online.
England lads and Ads🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Dec: Lads, sorry it's a late one
But I wanted you to hear this
from me rather than online,
Ads has been in a serious car
accident. I'm at the hospital
with her now. It's bad lads😭💔Xx

Madders: Shit! Dec I am so sorry,

Phil: Fuck man! You ain't doing
this alone. We're all here
for you. On way x
Chilly: Shit, poor Ads.
Be there soon x
HarryK: Phil's right, Ads is
our family and we're all gonna be
there for you all.

Dec: I don't expect you to
all come, it's late. I'm okay
on my own xx

Shawsy: Of course we'll come,
no matter the time. She's our
sister. Ain't Mase with you?

Dec: No but he is aware x

Within 30 minutes all the lads are here, "mate, I know it probably isn't the time but where the fuck is Mason? I mean his sister is fighting for her life in a hospital bed and Jack said the kids are at his in the message" I sigh as I know Chilly is right. I explain everything and even the phone call I made on the way here, the lads are shocked but Ben says that he didn't like Masons new girlfriend. I ask the lads to keep an eye on Ads and decide to call him again, except this time I'm angry as he's seen the picture of her, and still nothing yet all the lads managed to come.
Mase💙
M-Dec?
D-WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PLAYING AT?
M- Woah mate slow down
D-No! Don't mate me, are you seriously choosing her side and being stubborn when you're sister is having a machine breathe for her right now and none of us know if she's going to make it, and you're happy to leave things how they were. Even if you didn't come for Ads, I thought you'd may have come to be here for me or has she managed to pull you away from your best friend too.
M-I was going to come but Tara said I shouldn't as you's wouldn't want me there
D-YOUR SISTER IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE, BUT SURE GO AHEAD AND LISTEN TO THAT BITCH, MATE I LOVE YOU BUT SERIOUSLY, IS SHE THE RIGHT GIRL IF SHES MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET YOU TO STAY AT HOME WHILE YOUR SISTER COULD DIE!
M-She could die?
D-Yes, she's currently got a machine breathing for her, you've seen the picture. It's bad but sure go ahead and listen to her just because she wants all your attention all on her. She's caused this, you know that. You know as well as I do, Ads wouldn't lie, all she wants is for you to find a girlfriend and be happy. You proper hurt her by accusing her of lying, you hurt us both as she spoke proper shit about Ads and the kids. Now them kids, will wake up tomorrow and I'll have to explain to Teddy why mummy isn't home.
M-You're making me feel bad here
D-Good, because right now I'm watching my wife, your sister being kept alive by machines, all the other lads rushed here to support me and her but you're still at home. Do you know what you've chosen your side clearly. I thought you loved your sister more than this. 6 months ago I remember you saying "I'd choose Ads every time" that lasted long didn't it!
I hang up the phone and Bens at my side he hugs me as I break down crying. "I thought he cared. If Ads dies, she'll die thinking he hates her, I wouldn't have got to tell her I love her that one last time, Teddy and Evelyn will lose mummy. All because that bitch decided to drive a wedge between them as she was jealous." Ben holds me while I cry, soon I feel Madders the other side of me helping Ben get me to my seat. The lads are all around me, I've told them they can go home but they said, they're staying until she opens her eyes. I'm so grateful for these boys, but as much as I want to hate him right now, I need
Mason.
