"Whats wrong?!" I said tossing my shoes off and my keys off the counter. I took my coat of and hung it up by the door frame. 

"Is anybody gonna say anything before I throw up?!" I scream.

"He... he's in the hospital.." my dad say looking at the ground.

"Too late!" I said rushing to the bathroom. I slammed the door and threw up in the toilet just in time. I coughed and then rinsed my mouth with mouth wash.

"H-how?!" I said with tears streaming down my face. My mom looked up to me with tears streaming down her face, and under her eyes was puffy.

"A car... A car was driving really fast, and hit your brother. H-his leg. It, it broke, but uh.. They thinks its paralyzed and have to amputate it." my mom said with a gulp.

"Oh god.... I-I can't... I need to see him.." I said rushing to put my things on.

"We can't now. Tomorrow at 11am we can go, but for now we have to stay here. They just called and said they are removing the leg. They said if it swells up the blood will clot up and he will get sick and may not make it, due to lack of blood flow." my mom added.

"I... I need to go out.." I said running over to John's house.

I rang the doorbell and John's little sister, who was Eric's age, opened the door.

"Hey Rachel!" She said.

I sniffled and whipped away the tears. I put on a fake smile.

"Well you sure are up late. Can you go get John for me?" I said kind of rushing.

"Sure!" she said running up the stairs. I heard in the distance voices.

"Your girlfriend wants you. She's downstairs. She's crying... You better hurry." his sister said as he rain down  the stairs. He closed the door and we moved over.

"What? Whats wrong?!" John said whipping my eyes with his sleeve.

"E-eric... He was hit by a car and his leg.. Its paralyzed and they said they thought it was, and if it is and the blood doesn't flow then the blood will clot up and they said he get sick and..." I gulped.

"He may not make it." I said falling into his arms. I cried loudly and John hugged me, keeping me on my feet. My knees were too weak and I just could stand. He tilted my chin up and kissed me passionately. My head went down and I laid my head on his shoulder.

"Shhh... everything is going to be alright... Don't worry.. Im here." John said stroking my head. I ended up falling asleep. I felt my body lift up and being carried across the street. My eyes fluttered open.

"Stay asleep." He whispered. "Im just bringing you to bed." He then added ringing the doorbell.

"Hello John." my father said.

"Hello Sir. Rachel fell asleep." He said.

"Her room is up the stairs and to the right." my dad said putting on a fake smile.

"John?" I said as he brought the covers over me.

"Yes Rach?" He said giving me a kiss.

"Thank you." I said. He walked away and I listened to his footsteps. He stopped and talked to my parents, but I could hear it well. My thoughts were we going fast through my head. I ended up falling asleep fast. I wanted to see my brother so bad.
