Teenagers Love (Ashton Irwin 5SOS)

Chappy 8:

I strap the twins into the buggy and Ollie into his new baby carrier. Ashton pushes the buggy whilst I hold Max's unbroken hand and the baby carrier. Josh and Aimee trail behind with the dogs. We walk quickly, me dragging Max along. It's an uneasy silence, no-one daring to speak, everyone worried about Noah.

I ignore my severe pain desperate to get to bear.

We catch the bus and arrive at the hospital 30 minutes later. We rush towards the front desk, but are stopped by a nurse.

"I'm awfully sorry but you simply cannot bring those dogs in here!" The nurse exclaims turning her nose up at the panting mutts.

"Well what should we do with them? My brother is severely hurt and we need to see him"

"You can tie him outside, but I am warning you only family members are allowed in" I look at Ashton out the corner of my eye. I swiftly lie.

"Well that's fine then, we are all siblings." I squeeze Max's hand warning him to keep quiet.

The nurse gives us a disrespectful look and walks off with her head held high.

"Josh quick go tie up the dogs" He nods, I continue towards the front desk.

"Hello we are here to see our brother Noah Brooks" The nurse nods.

"Yes I have been expecting you there should be...8 of you?" I smile obviously my Mum had counted Ashton.

I nod "Yeah Josh is just tying up the dogs, theres 2 in the buggy, Max down here and Ollie in the baby carrier" I state the children she can't see.

"OK i'm afraid he is in the intensive care ward, just to your left" She gives us a sympathetic look. I gulp and feel Ashton hand run up and down my back. Intensive care ward, is what the name suggests. It's where patients go when they have life threatening injuries.

I nod my head thanks to the receptionist before walking the way she pointed. I look at the twins checking to see if they are OK. They haven't been to a hospital since...Dad died. Tears well in my eyes at the memory of the girls sitting at the edge of Dads bed chatting away happily, not knowing what was too come.

We arrive at the intensive care ward and the nurse shows us to Noah's room. I walk in slowly. I gasp. There laying in a bed is Noah, but he looks completely different to when I saw him earlier. His skin has a yellowy tint, his face is sunken in, his cheek bones highly defined and several IVs are hooked up to him.

"Callie..." Mums voice breaks.

"W-what happened?" I ask in shock. I place Ollie's carrier on the floor, him being fast asleep and I also drop Max's hand. I hear a sob from behind me to find Aimee with a hand over her mouth and Josh's mouth open in shock. Ashton is behind them turning the buggy away from Noah. Just then Max starts crying hugging my legs. I quickly gather myself and decide that I need to get the kids out of here.

"I'll be back" I whisper before leaning down to pick Max up. I push Aimee out the room, gesturing for Ashton to follow with the buggy and Josh with Ollie.

"Josh please take everyone to the waiting room, get some food out of the vending machines" I ask handing him Max and a £10 note. Immediately Max clings onto him.

"Aimee take the buggy, I will be there in a bit" My voice is hoarse. I grab Ashtons hand and head back into Noahs room desperate for some answers.

"Callie!" Josh calls as I begin to walk away. I turn to face him.

"Hurry back yeah? I wanna see him" I briefly nod.

"Callie are you alright?" Ashtons asks his voice drowned in worry. I nod my head opening the door. I walk over to my Mum and hug her before sitting on Ashtons lap in the chair beside her. She doesn't know we are together but we have always acted like this anyway.
