fall

Chapter 38

I pick the phone up and I don't here anything, I assume the line is dead till I begin to hear sobs coming the other end, my stomach sinks as I call out my moms name repeatedly, no answer. Before long I have to hang up the phone, it's just sobs over and over, I can't take it anymore. I go on line to change our flight, we need to leave tonight. I begin to load our stuff into the car after I book a flight for 10pm, we won't get there till 2am but somethings wrong and if my dads dead, I'm not waiting till 5pm tomorrow to
Figure out. I begin to sob as I finish loading everything in the car, Caleb is a mess to as he announced he can't leave till tomorrow, I'm not sure why but he and Abby go back into the house to change there tickets, and I thank god that I have Brennan or else I'd have to wait to. "Annie Annie it's ok" he try's to calm my heavy breathing as I get into the car "I'll drive" he picks me up like a baby and puts me in the passenger seat.

When we get to the airport everything is crowded, mostly from people flying in, but we manage to push through the crowd and get to our flight in time, we hand the lady our boarding passes and she directs us onto the plane and to our seats. We have seats next to each other and luckily no one is sitting in the other seat so we have some space. I relax my head on Brennan's shoulder and he leans down and kisses me, "I love you" he says and I smile for the first time today "I love you too" I reply happily. Before long I fall asleep in his arms, to the sound of his heart beating, I can tell he's worried about my da, about me, and out my family in general, he hides it, but I've always been able to read Brennan like an open book, and if he's showing it, than the situation can't be good.

I wake up when we land at two, the airport is right next to hospital so we hurry to grab our bags and rush over , when we go in we go straight to the front desk "billy Leblanc please" I say and the lady begins typing things up on her computer, she tells us is room number 421 and we hurry there, when we walk in his monitor is still on, he's alive, I let out a sigh of relief as I begin to look for mom and Hayley, I walk out into the hallway going to see them sitting there, reading a magazine waiting for dad to be discharged. But I don't see them, I rush down to the food court in hopes their there, but I don't see them. I go to the main lobby, but I don't see them. Finally I go back to
Dads room, I ask the doctor standing there where they are, "the girls in the daycare room, the mom up and left hours ago, the dad....." I hear him try to finish his sentence as I run to get Hayley, when I get there she has dark circles around her eyes, she runs to hug me, but she won't speak. We walk back to dad room to see the doctor still standing there, "as I was saying, the dads brain dead"
