Open Hands~ Bryles

Chapter 6- Hospital

Myles' POV
"Bri.. I'm so sorry." I say emotionlessly, pulling her fragile body into my arms.
"No haha my mum is always joking around!" She tries to deny the truth and laughs;the giggle melts away as she is left bawling her eyes out.

Nothing more is said- we simply get into my car in silence which is broken every so often with a piece of my heart when Briar cries. Each time this happens, I try to console her by gently squeezing her thigh.

My vehicle pulls into the hospital car park. I pay for a ticket before sprinting to the main reception with Briar. "Alan Nolet.." She spoke to the friendly lady on the desk. "Alan- one L.
N.O.L.E.T." She spelt out in a matter of urgency. "Some kind of accident? I need to see him now. He's my father." She said getting more panicked.
The lady told us the room number and we sped off down the twisting corridors of the eatablishment- Briar still clutching my hand.

Finally, we stopped in front of the door.

"Dad!"

Briar's POV
I hated seeing my father in this way. He looked like the ghost of his former self- it was like her was hardly there at all.

He had been in a car accident whilst he was trekking to pick me up from dance- I couldn't help but feel incredibly guilty as this was 100% my fault. If he hadn't come to pick me up- he would still be the jolly man I know and love.

"Dad. This is all my fault!" I wail, a waterfall scattering from my eyes, pooling in my hands.
"No Briar it isn't." Myles consoles me by drawing circles with his fingers on the small of my back.
"This isn't your fault, honey. It's nobody's." My mother then explains the story of the accident.
The pit in my stomach still doesn't go away- I only feel more guilt as my eyes were born into by my father.

He couldn't talk or move anything but his eyes- I'm not sure if he could even understand what was going on. Mum had a word with the doctors about his current condition- his fixture could be permanent; or it could be temporary paralysation.

It was too early to know.

A/N: I updated! I feel bad about them being spaced out so hopefully I will update straight after this chapter( when it's written).
