Two weeks later all three of the boys were still in hospital and still hadn’t woken up. I cried everywhere I went. I even watched all their videos again to try and make me laugh but it just makes me cry. Seeing them smile and laugh. Realising these were probably the last videos they’ll make.
"Caitlyn?" My mum knocked on the door.
"Come in" I said sobbing.
She slowly opened the door and poked her head inside.
"They’ll make it through this." She reassured me.
"Then why aren’t they waking up" I cried louder.
She didn’t know what to say. She came up to me and gave a me a nice, long hug trying to comfort me.
"Mum, I need to go to the hospital" I said quietly.
She nodded her head with a frown on her face. We got to the hospital and like i’ve been doing for the past 2 weeks everyday I charged into their room. Hoping they would be alive and healthy. Hoping they would be awake. As soon as I entered I saw the three boys, lying there still. Their eyes shut and no muscles moving. I walked over to both beau and jai and gave them a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I then went up beside Luke and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you Luke Anthony Mark Brooks" I whispered.
I sat down next to him and held his hand tightly. I fell asleep and was soon awoken by the machine beeping.
"NURSE!" I screamed.
Doctors and nurses ran in. They had to start operating on all of them. The nurse came up to me and started to drag me out of the room. I pushed her away and ran up to Luke.
"LUKE PLEASE WAKE UP I LOVE YOU!" I shrieked with tears falling freely down my cheeks and splashing on the floor.
The nurse had eventually grabbed me and pulled me outside.
"You have to wait out here" She said sternly.
*a few hours later*
Everyone was here. James, Daniel, Tyla, Gina, Cassie and the boys nonna and nonno. I sat on the chair for hours. Staring into space wishing everything would be okay.
"they’re strong, they’ll wake up" Tyla said to me even though he knew things weren’t going to be.
"No it won’t be. They’re going to die and it’s all my fault. I made them drive to Cassie’s if they didn’t they wouldn’t be in the emergency room right now with their lives on the line." I cried hysterically.
"Caitlyn" James said.
"I’m sorry but I can’t just wait out here" I said.
I bolted into the room just to get a glimpse. I saw there heart rate slowing down by the second. I bolted back out and cried into Tyla’s chest.
"They’re not going to make it" I mumbled against him.
"They will Caitlyn, they will" Tyla said rubbing my back.
A few more hours had past and I haven’t gotten a wink of sleep. I couldn’t sleep knowing they could die. The doctor had come out with a frown upon his face and a dull look in his eyes. I knew what he was about to say. This was the end.
"I’m sorry to say this but" He began.
"one of the boys has tradically died but the other 2 are good and healthy. I’m so sorry for your loss" He said.
I began crying hysterically. I couldn’t breathe. Which one had died? My heart was beating faster and faster.
"Excuse me but which one has passed?" I asked.
My blood-shot red eyes filled with tears and I broke down. My heart broke in two and had sunk. My knees wobbled and collapsed from underneath me. I brang me knees to my face and screamed.
I can’t believe he died. I was slowly and painfully dying on the inside.
Luke had died.
