It all happened so fast..

~Flashback~

"Matt watch out!-"

Silence...

"We have a code blue, get him attention immediately!"

Code blue? Doesn't that mean..
But I'm fine.. where's Matt?

Nick looks around and soon, he spots Matt, he's okay.. but he's crying..

He's panicking..

Panic..

Where's Chris?!

"Please-- I need my brother! Please don't let him die!"

"We will not let him die, sir you need to calm down. Take a deep breath"

Die? No, Chris can't die..

Nick looks around frantically, where is Chris..
He's not dead..
He can't be..

Code blue

Matt's okay..

Panicking..

Where's my little brother?

Code blue!
Code blue!

He's dying!

He's gonna die!

Nick sits up in his bed with a choked gasp, hot tears running down his face. "Chri- Chris!! Chris!--" Nick gasps. A groan is heard, and Nick is engulfed into a warm hug. "Mh.. right here N'cky" Chris mumbles sleepily, being used to these flashback, nightmare, things that Nick's been having ever since Chris almost died, well, technically he did die.

They had gotten T-Boned, about five months ago, Chris got glass lodged into his throat and some fell into his lungs, somehow. He stopped breathing, and was in fact dead for about a minute, but they saved him, and he was fine. Matt had a very mild concussion, and Nick broke his wrist and had whiplash for a while. Chris is the only one who died.
He died. Which scared Nick, and made him even more reluctant to get into the car. Or allow Chris to get in one.

Tonight he had no other choice, they had to film yet another car video. Which meant they had to drive, which meant they had to drive somewhere. Nick was dreading this, and his anxiety was higher than usual.

Sign number one

Shaking hands. Now, Nick's hands never trembled, not even after the accident. But tonight was different, something was... Well something was off, Nick felt cold and clammy. He felt, excited, but.. not in a good way?
He wasn't able to explain it, he'd never felt this way before. As he sat in the backseat of the car, his chest slowly began to tighten, and his whole body started to shake.

Code blue..

Nick swallowed, hard, and rubbed his face. Attempting to fight the tingling sensation. He couldn't breathe, it was like someone was sitting on his chest but they were getting larger by the second.

"Sir, sit down! You have a concussion and you need medical assistance!"

Nick took a deep breath. However that didn't help, as his ears started to ring.

"Take a deep breath.."

Nick's heart began to hammer in his chest.

Die..
Chris is dead.
Chris..
Code blue

Nick began to fiddle with his shirt, letting out a shaky breath. "You alright man? (Man)"
Nick looked over upon hearing an echo from his brothers question. "Wh.. what?"
"Are you okay?"

Code blue

"Don't let him die!"

"Matt watch out!"
"Chris are you okay?"

Code blue
"Patient is unresponsive"

"Matt watch out!"
"Guys are you okay?"

"Unresponsive"

Code blue
"Shock him again! We can't let him die!"

Die
Code blue
"Chris are you.."
"Matt watch.."

"Please don't let him die!"

"Nick! Chris- he isn't breathing Nick!"

"Don't let him die!"

Die.. die.. die
Diediediediediedie

Code blue!
Patient is unresponsive!
Chris are you okay?!

Chris!
Chris!!

Chr-ick!
Ch-Nick!
Nick!!

"Nick! Nick, baby, slow down relax, it's-- hey, breathe Nick you're okay" a familiar voice speaks.
The boys were now pulled over, as Nick was becoming hysterical. "No! No, Chris, please he-- I can't! F-uck I-I can't brea-- I can't-" Nick gasped, sobbing violently and grabbing his chest for dear life. "Nick, I'm right here okay? I'm right here-- I'm okay, I'm safe Nick, we're safe. Breathe kid, breathe- it's okay" Chris spoke softly, having his brother look at him so he knew that Chris wasn't lying. With a sob, Nick threw his arms around Chris and pulled him close. Finally breaking down into his brothers embrace. "Oh my God, oh-- Chris I thought y- I thought I lost you! I thought I lost my baby brother Chris, I c-cant lose you guys!" The red head cried, holding onto Chris tightly.

"You can't get rid'a me that easily, kid. I'm here to stay man, you have nothing to worry about. I'm okay, you're okay, Matt is okay, Nick. We survived, Nick!" Chris smiled, holding Nick's shoulders, shaking him a little. A small, wet smile formed on the first born triplets face. "You gotta relax, cause we're fine. Nothin's gonna keep us apart for very long. We'll always bounce back, brother"
Chris said warmly, pulling Nick into another hug. Nick sobbed a little, then sniffled and rested his head on Chris's shoulder. "Yeah..we- we did survive.. didn't we.." Nick said softly, taking a very deep inhale of breath. Chris smiled and squeezed Nick, chuckling softly, "I love you Nick. Everythings okay"

After a while, Nick was calm. He asked Chris to sit in the back with him, and Chris obliged and was now practically laying on top of Nick, while Nick stroked his hair.
"Hey, Matt?" Chris spoke, earning a 'huh' from the driver, "can we get some ice cream before we head home?" He asked. Nick smiled softly, "Hell yeah, we should do that!" He said with a laugh.
Matt chuckled, "yeah, for sure. Let's do it"

The three of them stopped, got some ice cream, Nick got cookies and cream, Matt got rocky road and Chris got mint chocolate chip.
The three of them ate it on their way home, and that night, they had a sleepover in Matt's room.

Nick would be okay. As would Chris, not even death could break it.
