Jakey can't die - Chapter 39

Melody's pov

I watched the colour drain out of my brother's face. Jacob had a heart attack? He isn't even one! That is really unfair on him!

Meanwhile, Maspar looked like he was going to have a heart attack.

"Maspar, it's okay." I placed my hand on my brother's shoulder.

"No it's not Melody!" He shouted back. "I wasn't here! I should've been here!"

I turned to dad. "But, he was fine this morning."

"Apparently not. The ambulance took him and gemma to the hospital."

Maspar looked at dad. "He's alive?"

"I don't know."

Maspar's pov

We all walked into the hospital. This is what, the third time we have had to come for one of us kids? I can't let Jakey be dead. He can't be.

We were took to a room and as I looked through the glass I could see a little 11 month old baby lying perfectly still on a hospital bed.

Gemma looked up as I walked into the room. The others stayed outside with dad.

"How is he?" I asked her. Gemma looked at me with a sad face.

"He nearly died."

"Oh." Then I realized what she had just said. "Wait, he is still alive?"

"Yep."

Jacob opened his eyes while he was lying down. "Masp... Masp... Maspar?" He said my name. HE SAID MY NAME!

"I'm here Jacob. I'm here." I ran and sat on the side of the bed, stroking his hair. He looked at me with his green eyes and smiled.

"You're here Maspar. You're with me." I felt tears on my cheeks, he seemed so lifeless.

A nurse walked in. "Ah, Jacob. You are awake." She turned to Gemma. "He will need to take this everywhere he goes." SHe handed her a lot of equipment and then a small rucksack.

"What are they?" I asked. 

"Medical stuff." Gemma told me. "They think he could have a series of heart attacks because he has a weak heart. I'll teach you and the other three how to use it, Jake love spending time with you guys."

"I love spending time with him too." I felt my voice crack. Tears poured down my cheeks and I hugged my little brother tight.

"Promise me you won't leave me again."

"I pwomise Maspar."
