Things In Life (Interracial/BWWM)

Chapter Twenty Six

Brayden's POV

I opened my eyes and I tried to take in my surroundings but a sharp pain went up my neck, stopping me from doing so. I groaned and took off my seat belt. And that's when I saw her.

Amelia

Oh god, her head was slumped to the side and she had blood running down her face.

"Amelia!" I grunted through the pain and the protesting of my ribs and unbuckled her seat belt, opened my door and pulled her out, onto the ground.

I heard sirens in the distance indicating that help was on the way. I cradled the top part of her shoulders and hugged her to me.

"Please be okay, I love you, come back to me please.." I chanted over and over as I waited for help.

The ambulance came and took Amelia away from me and put her on a stretcher and a neck brace around her neck.

"Please help her! She's pregnant!" I yelled as they put her in the back of the truck.

I tried to go with her but a couple of hands pulled me back.

"No kid, you need to come with us. You're banged up too." A male from another ambulance said.

"No I need to be with my girlfriend.." I tried to shake him off but didn't get very far as my head started hurting like a brick got slammed into it and my ribs were screaming for me to get help.

I stopped and groaned. They took that time to put a neck brace on me and put me on the stretcher. I didn't fight them. I just let them do their job.

Someone closed the back doors and the car took off.

"Head trauma, but nothing more than a moderate to severe concussion.." One of the guys said as he shined a light in my eye. "..Cracked or bruised ribs but not broken.." He probed his fingers along my torso and I hissed in pain. "Sorry bud." He apologized. "And no other form of injuries other than cuts and bruises."

I zoned out and what seemed like hours later, we came to a stop and the doors opened.

They wheeled me off of the truck and into the hospital. We rode through the short hallway and set me into on of the emergency rooms.

Nurses surrounded me and immediately took over, setting in IV's, putting a heart monitor on me, etc. A doctor I didn't notice stood in the corner looking at my chart. She said something to one of the nurses and one scurried off and came back with a mask.

"Well hello there sir. Even though the extent of your injuries aren't severe, we still have to put you under to bandage you up." The woman doctor said.

"Okay.." I mumbled as the mask was put over my face.

My eyelids started to get heavy and I gave in to the darkness..

(A/N: I know that you're not supposed to sleep when you have a concussion buuttt I needed a transition into the next scene.)

Stacey's POV

"Can you drive any faster Justin?" Taylor asked from the backseat.

"Not if you want to end up in the hospital. I can't go any faster.." Justin replied calmly from the drivers seat.

I got a call at 1:30 this morning from Amelia's mom saying that her and Brayden had been in a car accident around 11:45pm. My heart sank. I didn't think, I just put on my clothes and called Justin and Taylor.

I couldn't break down, I needed to be strong. We don't even know the extent of their injuries.

I prayed like I've never prayed before on the way up to the hospital. I just really hope they're okay. And please let the baby be okay..

Justin pulled up the entrance and Taylor and I hopped out as quick as we could.

"I'm going to go park." Justin said before we could take off into the building.

"Please hurry.." I said to him.

He nodded and pulled off. Taylor and I just about sprinted into the doors and into the waiting room.

First person I saw was Amelia's mom. She was hunched over and had tissues in her hand. Once she saw me, she stood up and opened her arms. I walked up and gave her a hug.

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"We don't know, the doctor hasn't been out to see us yet. I'm praying that she's okay.." she mumbled into my shoulder.

"Me too, me too." I break the hug.

Justin comes in and quickly goes to Brayden's mom's sides to comfort her and Brittany.

We all sit down and do the only thing we can do: wait.

We sit and wait and finally, a doctor comes out into the waiting area.

"Brooks and Jones family?" The male doctor calls out.

We all get up and met him halfway.

"Is Brayden alright?" June asks, "And what about Amelia?" Her mom cuts in.

"Brayden is fine. He has some cracked ribs that we tapped up, a gash that we sewed together, and a concussion. He'll make a full recovery."

Everyone sighed a sigh of relief.

"As for Amelia," he pulls out a chart and looks at for a brief second. "She has a little bit of head trauma, internal bleeding, a couple of broken ribs on the right side, and a broken wrist.."

"What about the baby?" I asked because it seemed like nobody else would.

"..From the impact of the car and the air bags was too great on her abdomen. There was a faint heartbeat in the ambulance but we couldn't find one when she made it here. We had to remove it when Amelia went into surgery..I'm sorry. She put her in a medically induced coma so she could heal and there won't be that much brain activity so the brain wouldn't over-work itself and swelling would start."

My heart broke. Then I started to cry.

Everything was going great. Amelia and Brayden fixed their relationship, they were excited for the baby, they had everything worked out.

At the blink of an eye, their happiness was snatched away because of someone ran a red light.

Strong arms pulled me into an embrace and I knew it was Justin. He tried to comfort me as I cried for my best friend.

Nobody should go through the pain of having to loose a child. I prayed again for my best friend to be strong to be able to handle the world when she woke up..
