Three.

The number of tears I've shed. Carson crawled up to the head of the bed and put his arms around me. "Is he gonna be ok?" I ask holding back the tears. He hesitates and takes a deep breath. "No, car. He died instantly." I take a deep breath. "Oh..." Is all I can say. So many things go through my head. Why was he out? What's gonna happen to me and Carson? How did he hit a car that wasn't even moving? Why would God so that? Make us lose both of our parents. *knock knock* My thoughts are interrupted by knocks on the door. To heads poke there way through the crack in the door. Jack and Romeo see that I'm crying. They both race over to me and Carson. Romeo gets not the bed with me and puts his arms around me. I lean into him, he puts my legs over his lap so I wouldn't be uncomfortable. I love how Romeo doesn't even need to know why I'm crying, he just comes over and holds me in his arms. I could hear Carson telling Jack what happened. When I heard the word 'instantly' more tears came pouring out. Romeo starts stroking my hair. He starts to rock me back and forth. "It's ok, let it out." I look up at Romeo and stop crying. I remembered that I need to be the strong one for awhile. Romeo whips away my tears. " I need to go do some stuff. Seance I'm over eighteen, I'm gonna try to see if you can leave with me. If they don't let me take you... you will have to move to Oakdail and live with uncle George and auntie Sandy." He says walking to the door. Jack takes his stop sitting next to me. Carson turns around and looks at Jack. "I really don't like you sitting in bed with my sister... But she trust you and says that I should. If you dare to prove her wrong, she won't be the only one who needs medical attention. Got it?" I grab Jacks hand. "Yea, I would never hurt her si-" Carson cut him off. And now was looking at Romeo. "At least one of you, has to be with her. Unless a doctor says otherwise. I don't care if she is taking a piss, you go with her." I put my face in my hands. He walks back over to me. Pushes Jack out of his way and give me a hug. "Everything is gonna be fine car. I promise." He kisses me on my forehead. The walks out of the room.
