Broken

Chapter 5

Bruno's POV

I woke up and Casey was still in my arms. I kissed her forehead then got up slowly so I wouldn't wake her up.

Casey's POV

I woke up and checked my phone. It was 9:14. I got up and went to the kitchen. I saw Bruno, Presley, Jake, and Carlos. Jake shoved a piece of toast in his mouth. "Use a plate." Presley told him.

"Mmm nov mmm." Jake mumbled.

"Gross." Presley shoved him. I giggled. "What time do you leave bro?" Presley asked Bruno.

Bruno looked very upset. "Noon." He finally said. "Kids get in the car I wanna take you guys somewhere before I go." We all got dressed and went out to the car. I was in the back with Jake and Carlos was in the front. Bruno started driving really fast.

"Slow down." Jake told him. I saw a truck coming down the road. Bruno looked back at me, I closed my eyes and everything blacked out.

Bruno's POV

Casey came into the kitchen. I don't wanna leave my kids again. Why? Why me?

"What time do you leave bro?" Presley asked me.

I am very upset. "Noon." I finally said. "Kids get in the car I wanna take you guys somewhere before I go." We all got dressed and went out to the car. Casey was in the back with Jake and Carlos was in the front. I started driving really fast. I didn't know what I was going on.

"Slow down." Jake told him. I told me. I didn't. What's wrong with me I need to stop but it's too late. There was a huge truck coming down the road. I looked back at Casey one last time. I woke up in a hospital bed. I saw my sisters, my brother, my parents, Phil, and my boys, but I didn't see Casey.

"Your awake!" Presley hugged me.

"Where's Casey?" I asked. No one said anything and Jake was crying. "I wanna know where Casey is." I demanded.

"Casey's in another room. She's on life support." Phil finally said.

"What?" I was so surprised. "What room?"

"156." Presley said.

I ripped the IV out of my arm and ran out the door and down the hall until I found room 156. I walked in and Casey was hooked up to an oxygen mask and she had an IV in her arm. I started to cry. "This is all my fault! What's wrong with me?!" I yelled out loud. I held Casey's little hands. A doctor came in. I stood up. "Is she gonna be ok?" I asked.

"Well it's hard to say. She has gotten banged up pretty bad. I'd say if she doesn't wake up in the next 48 hours. I'm afraid we'll have to pull her plug." The doctor told me. Hot tears went down my face. This can't be happening. Not right now. No! I couldn't breath. Everyone came into Casey's room. Jake is still crying.

***** 44 HOURS LATER *****

Only 4 more hours till they pull Casey's plug. I was crying my eyes out. I was still holding Casey's little hands. Her hand twitched, then her hand squeezed mine. I looked up her eyes opened. Oh my gosh! I couldn't believe it. "Casey?" I looked at her.

"Hey Bruno." She sounded so weak.

I hugged her. "Oh my gosh! Casey!" I hugged her.

"What happened?" She asked.

I started to cry. "I almost killed you." I told her.

"Oh." She said.

"Yeah I'm so sorry." I squeezed her hand.

"It's fine." She gave me that adorable little smile.

"No it's not! I wouldn't be able to live with myself if..." She cut me off.

"Bruno everyone makes mistakes. No ones perfect." Casey told me.

"But I made a very big mistake." I told her.

"But I'm still alive, right? Your doing fine." Casey told me.

"No I'm not." I told her. The doctor walks in.

"Oh well hello. How ya feeling?" The doctor asked Casey.

"Fine." Casey answered.

"Well let me sign you out and you can go home." The doctor said.

"Ok." Casey says. She get dressed and we head home.

Casey's POV

As soon as I walk in the door I get tackled with hugs. First it was Jake. He told me about what happened. I hugged Presley and Phil. I hugged Bruno's mom and dad. All of his sisters and his brother.
