No One's POV

"Then I will die in sadness" Lukes mumbles, looking down. "Do you want to live the rest of your life happily? " The blond nurse asked. As Luke looks up at her, he looks away. " About that, I'm Courtney...I didn't mean to be rude." Courtney tugged on her slim fingers. A smile spread across the face of Courtney when the main door opened to reveal Joel, Luke immediately looked down, and Courtney smiled back at him. " Is he okay?" Joel asked Courtney. "Yes. I am fine."Luke furiously looked at Joel while Joel smiled back at him. When he said that, Courtney looked concerned and excused herself, " Excuse me, I'll leave you two alone." She nervously smiled before leaving the room leaving only Luke and Joel in awkward silence.

Joel's POV

Then I notice Luke avoiding me. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. " I-I Luke?" I touched his hand and I spoke. " I spent lonely nights just praying about you, I cry inside because you don't know. I was here from the moment it happened. I'll never be the same, I don't want you to drift away because you have no faith. I will stay by your side when a nightmare goes." With tears in my eyes, I beg him for forgiveness. As Luke lets go of my hand, he finally glances at me through tears. " I am sorry Joel... It wasn't just you. " At that moment, he was broken down and I barely heard him speak. Before he could say another word, I hugged him tightly and we both cried together, seeing how weak he was as he hugged me, I felt angry. I finally let go digging in my bag to pull out a bag of candy called Snakes, I saw Luke's face brighten but immediately turn into a frown. Seeing he isn't up for a snack right now, I put them on the coffee table. I got a phone call and Luke looked in my direction, I put the phone down frowning at the contact.

Helen's POV

The living room is quiet as I pace back and forth in anticipation of Joel answering the phone. David hugs me and says, "My love, please calm down, our baby will be fine.". After a long pause, I finally give up with questions still lingering in my mind. My mind becomes full of fear again as I imagine what would happen to Luke if something happened. David reassures me, "Shhh, we can pray about it.". I smile back giving him a peck on the lips and put the phone down. " No wonder God gave me you" I hold his hand.

( Later )

I forgot about the situation later and I didn't think of it. I made dinner and later served myself and David at the dinner table. Before we started eating we prayed holding our hands we bowed, "Dear Lord, We are grateful for the day we have been given today and what you have provided to us. My prayers are with the family, especially Luke, who is in the hospital. I also pray for Joel to have the faith to keep up and be Luke's greatest brother ever! In Jesus name, we pray, Amen." I smile at David who smiles back grabbing his fork and stabs it in the chicken breast to eat. I dig into my food and enjoy every bit of it. It soon hit late at 8 so I made sure to get David to bed without a fuss. I laid down on the bed closing my eyes hoping the lord heard my prayer.

Ben's POV

( The day before Luke's incident)

It was my brother who called me, and I answered having a feeling this call had something to do with videography. I frowned as I heard him speak. Luke sounded like he had just gotten up from his bed but I didn't want to ask and be rude about it because who knows what he might do. I do remember the incident on Christmas that Luke kept a secret for a while so it is probably him recovering so I didn't bother asking. But the only one who would know would be Joel, I heard Luke say that if Mum and Dad ever said something tell them everything was okay. I wondered why couldn't he tell Joel to tell them or tell them himself. Luke worries me sometimes and I hope I'm not the only one not seeing it. The next morning comes by and I get woken up by a phone call from Daniel saying that Luke has just been taken to the hospital, I knew from the very beginning that something was wrong that he was hiding it. I just want to pray that he gets healed and recovers with so much love and grace. I run my hand through my hair and get up to start the day so I can visit everyone at the hospital.
