Desperate Measures

Haven

Where we left off

Where am I? I slowly thought to myself as I slowly opened my eyes as all I could hear was Amanda screaming her head off and all I could feel was the cold wet snow and pain. Wait where's Matt?! I slowly stood up rubbing my head looking for Matt as I have no idea if he plugged his seatbelt back in before we took off. "Matt?!" I yelled gripping my side and the back of my head as it hurt so much as I started to make it to the front of the car, all I could see was blood. "Matt!" I said as I saw him laying on the roof of the car as it seemed like he flew out of the windshield as he slowly opened his eyes. "Hey hey it's okay you're okay...please stay with me. H-Hey he needs help!" I said as I saw the paramedics running over and some running over to Amanda's side and one pulling me away from Matt as I just collapsed in their arms.

"Sir?! Someone get me a gurney!" A male voice said as I could feel them lifting me up onto a stretcher as I managed to look over at Matt. "I...love you!" I managed to say as he started coughing up blood and the last thing I heard was a baby crying as the darkness pulled me back into a deep sleep.

I slowly started opening my eyes when I felt them drag the gurney out of the car. "John Doe, Male and he's the second victim the first one he's hardly holding on but he has some tenderness around his upper right stomach and possibly a skull fracture." I heard the paramedic say as once I felt them dragging me onto a ER bed I snapped awake from the pain coughing like crazy. "Hey hey you're okay just breathe and what is your name?" This female doctor said as she put an oxygen mask over my face which helped. "J...Josh Ramsay...where's the others?" I managed to say very weakly as I looked out of the door when someone came in as I could see a doctor doing cpr on someone.

"What are their names and I'll get an update for you." She said while placing her hands on my stomach feeling around while I got a glimpse of the persons hair...it was Matt's?! No no no! "M-Matt and Amanda...with the baby. Please save them!" I said a little bit loudly as another doctor came into the room as it was becoming harder to breathe. "Prepare a breathing tube and sedative now before he looses his airway now! We've got you." That was the last thing I heard before passing out again and I hope to god that he lives...he has to live...

A day later...

After a while I was slowly coming around as all I could hear was the beeping of the monitors. "Josh hi can you feel this? Just blink one for no two for yes." I could feel the person tapping my foot with something as I blinked twice. "Good and your friends made it out and same with the baby." Oh thank god...I slowly turned my head as I could see Matt in the room across from me but sedated and a tube in his throat. "It's just um that Matthew is in a medically induced coma so he can heal for however long. I'll send his doctor in to speak to you okay?" I sighed a little grabbing the button in my hand guessing it was morphine as I slowly pressed it and went to my happy place.

The next time I woke up I no longer had a tube in my throat and I saw Amanda at my bedside as she only had a splint on her arm and a few cuts as she was holding our baby. "Josh this is our son, did you want to think of a name once you're no longer on drugs?" I managed to smile as I tried to reach for him. "Can...I hold him?" She nodded placing him in my arms as it just melted my heart. "M-Miles...can we name him after my father?" She smiled pushing my bangs out of my hair as she sighed. "I was going to do that for the middle name love...but Josh, Matt is still in that coma. Apparently his brain had a lot of injuries and they're thinking jt might take a month or longer. I'm only asking cause did he go over end of life or what he would want if he had to be on a tube or something?" Actually I do remember Matt saying something about that years ago. I nodded wincing a little bit from the pain coming back.
