A Bump In The Road (Brooklyn and Bailey)

#20

Rylan POV

Oh my god. I just got out of hospital and now I'm going back in again. I seriously thought mom had changed. I think I'm the only one of us that is actually conscious. Daxton has cuts all across his forehead, and Baileys clothes are ripped. That's all I can see because they were near me and it's really dark outside. The sound of sirens filled my ears as these thoughts and senses subsided, resulting in me drifting back out of consciousness. The last thing I felt were two strong arms wrap around me.

Random Paramedic POV

My team and I got sent to an emergency call out about 20 minutes away. All they know is that a family were involved, and it was a car accident. But that's not important, all that is is their health. We got there quite quickly, considering it was late at night and the roads weren't busy. Apparently there are 8 people that were in the family. Parents and 6 kids.

An older man which I presume was the father got put on a stretcher and into one of the ambulances, with a huge gash in his arm. An older woman also got taken, but nothing was wrong with her that was visible. A girl of about 10 got taken aswell, who kept drifting in and out of consciousness. Then there was a four year old who was also taken, and a 6ish year old with cuts on his head. A 13 year old was conscious and screaming in agony and fear. She was also taken. I heard slight screeches from under the bus, so I got the firefighters to lift it. The girl was screaming in pain, complaining that she couldn't feel her legs. I got her organised and rode to the hospital with her, trying some of my anti-stress techniques. No one could find the last girl, while I was there at least.

Kamri POV

I knew she couldn't be trusted. My own mother tried to kill us. I hope she dies, honestly. I've had enough. And to top it all of, everyone is injured. My arm is being put in a cast, because apparently it is slightly broken, in 12 places, so maybe more than slightly. I get to choose the top colour, so I vote blue. It's a nice light blue, like a clear blue ocean almost. I don't know why I'm babbling on about blue though, because my whole family is now messed up. The doctors finished up and told me how long I had to wear it for, before letting me go and wait for my siblings to be finished.

About half an hour later, I was told that Rylan was available for me to see. I jumped at the chance and went into her dull hospital room, which resembled a blank piece of paper. She leant down and hugged me, before letting me get onto the bed. Her hair has grown so much, so she pulled it up into two braids.
"What happened to you?" She asked me.

"My arm is broken in 12 places. You?"

"Slight bump to the head, so I'm being kept for the next few days for observation because of what happened earlier in the year."

We looked at each other again before hugging once more. A doctor came in to tell me that Paisley was awake and crying, so I said goodbye to Rylan and rushed in. When she saw me, she stopped crying and reached out for me.
"My tummy hurts." She stated.

"Is it because you're scared?"

"Yes. What if everyone goes bad?" She asked. I told her how I was ok and so was Rylan. And now her.
"What about Dax?"

"I don't know yet." I said, before grabbing her colouring tools and setting her up to do some of that while I went to speak to the doctors.
"What's it looking like?" I asked.

"Not as good as I had hoped. Daxton has had a major cut to his head which resulted in him needing severe stitches. Bailey was trapped under the bus and can't feel her lower body so she may be paralysed. Your father has to have his arm amputated because the only thing still connected is miraculously the bone. Your mother, however, is perfectly fine. And Brooklyn hasn't been found yet."

I began to cry. I cried for all the times I hadn't, for the fact that the beast was perfect, for the fact that dad, Bailey, Daxton and Rylan are in such bad shape, for Paisley having to watch her family tear apart, and for Brooklyn to still be missing. Life goes up and down like a yo yo.
