The Wilderness

Up or Down?

A/N:  Hello my amazing viewers and followers!  I am back to updating this story again! So sorry it has been long. School and then this thing called writer's block. Nasty and Yucky.  Hope you enjoy this story.

........

What happens when an item goes up in the air? It goes straight back down right? Well what will happen if a plane goes up? Would a person think a plane goes straight back down like the item would?

Amanda felt terrible leaving Peter at the airport but she knew it had to be done. They couldn't keep living like that. Unstable. Amanda thought. She wanted to build a stable relationship with him and their son. She knew that every couple have their up and downs and she and Peter are in the downside. She just---Amanda shook her head to stop her train of thoughts.

Andrew was looking at Amanda in the seat behind her having to see her leave her husband behind. He wanted to help her out but he knew that Amanda process on her own and if he pushes her to tell him what is wrong then she would not open up to him. So he sat deep into his seat, trying to tune in on what Robin was telling him about his acting gigs even though Robin knew Andrew didn't care less. Robin was sitting next to Andrew since Lucas wanted to sit by his mom. Andrew went to close his eyes into a deep sleep after a long emotional day, when he was bolting right back up due to Robin shaking him rapidly.

Andrew still half asleep glared at Robin for disturbing him but Robin just went back to shaking him.

"I am up, Robin, so stop shaking me and tell me what it is that have you waking me up when I was peacefully dreaming."

"The plane---" He was cut off due to the turbulence they were experiencing and this is what bolted Andrew straight up and almost out of his seat.

"What is going on Robin?" Andrew question, fully alerted seeing people putting their oxygen mask on.

"Going down Andrew. Going down."

Andrew was puzzled. He was still trying to understand what happened while he was asleep. After only a few minutes of processing, he realizes what Robin was telling him but it was too late.

Andrew woke up to see a shade of orange and red everywhere and he tried to look around to find his brother and friend but the world was turning. He saw green, blue, red, and orange coming towards him and he tried to stay awake but due to the maximum of speed of so many colors he saw black.

Andrew woke up again and this time he was out of breath. When he tried to open his eyes all that would surround him is blue. He would try to move around or do something but his body felt like a brick. His head was throbbing due to the lack of oxygen. He tried again to move but that is when he knew that he was stuck. The seat-belts of the plane were trapping him and he tried to find any sort of sharp object in his pocket but he couldn't. He started to feel dizzy again and he knew he couldn't breathe because when he did he tasted it. Smell it everywhere. He tried again and again to pull the seat-belt loose but it was useless. He felt like he was going to die. The pain was intolerable. He tried one last time until blackness consumed him again.

When he woke up yet again, he saw his brother and best friend screaming at him to open his eyes.

"Come on, Andrew. Breathe for me, brother. Don't die on us!"

"Andrew, wake up! Please!" Another voice shouted went through his throbbing skull.

"I think he has a concussion." Amanda stated to Robin, seeing Andrew fall back into unconsciousness.

"This cannot be happening." Robin said, while pacing between Amanda and Andrew, who was currently lying next to the ocean.

"Why don't you go over there to your nephew, Robin. He is going to need you." Amanda pointed to the tree Lucas was currently sitting at watching the scene unfold, involving his favorite uncle.

"And please get him away. He shouldn't see this. He has enough trauma going on in his life and this adding on will most likely haunt him. So just go, Robin. I promise to stay with him."

Robin wanted to stay but the look Amanda was giving him, he decided to just go and watch Lucas.

It only took a few minutes before Andrew was gasping for air and was looking at Amanda puzzled.

"Lay down, Andrew." Amanda was currently trying to put a moving Andrew back down. "Andrew, lay back down! You are going to make this worse than it is!" But Andrew didn't listen and that when Amanda wish that she had a sedative. Right then in that moment is when Andrew started to seize. "Rats! You see what you did! Robin, help I need assistance!"

Robin, who was currently by the tree with Lucas heard Amanda's plea for help and race to her side as fast as the wind took him. By the time he got there he took a step back when seeing his brother seizing.

"Are you just going to stand there or help?"

Robin didn't know what to do. This was his brother. He wanted to help, to pretend like this was like any other ordinary patient but he couldn't. He just stood there and watch as his brother's body kept jerking around.

"I need help, Robin! Give me an answer! Are you just going to stand there? If so go. Go back to Lucas! Just go!"

Instead Robin sat there frozen that is until both Amanda and he heard Andrew trying to speak.

"What was that Andrew?"

"D-Do-o s-something p-please"

"What is Andrew? How can we help you? There nothing here for you!" Robin finally spoke up, getting frustrated.

"P-Plane---"

He didn't get to finish his sentence as he started to seize again causing Amanda and Robin to become worried.

"Okay, Robin. Try to find something in that plane. Also please be careful, considering the plane is still on fire." Amanda whispered. "We don't need another life to save."

Robin nodded understanding what Amanda was saying and went to the plane to find the emergency kit as Amanda tried her best to keep control over Andrew's compulsions.

"Found it!"

"Great...Now come help me out over here Robin." Amanda mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Just get over here!" Amanda yelled.

The plane, when a had crash, some parts had ended up in the river while the others landed on ground. The pilot was dead, and so were a few passengers, as Amanda and Robin had recalled. When looking for Andrew it was very difficult of them to because they were afraid he had died. It took them a while to realize that he was in the water. When they did find that, out it was too late as Andrew had pass out and had no pulse. Luckily they had revived them. This is why Amanda wanted to save Andrew life because she loves him and besides Lucas, the only person she has in her life since the fight with Peter.

Amanda was praying for everything to be okay. She had hope for Andrew to get better. She wanted him to get better. So she called Robin over, who was having doubts about treating his brother. Robin may be an actor but he grew with a surgeon half of his life. Plus, Andrew and Amanda practically made him learn some techniques just in case if something like this was to happen.

"Robin, remember what we practice." Amanda instructed him, grabbing the supplies Robin still had in his hands. "First step is to what?"

"Lift the head?"

"Very good." Both he and Amanda lifted the head and put something underneath so Andrew could be comfortable.

"Ok. Now I need your help turning him to the side." They both preceded turning Andrew to his side.

"What's next, Amanda?"

"Now, we wait until it stops." Amanda whispers, running her hands through his dark brown hair.

"But wait. What about his mouth? Is there supposed to be something in there." Robin stuttered out.

"Yeah, but I already covered it when we took him out of the water. I was afraid this will happen." Amanda whispers, still watching her best friend jerk around as his eyes fall back in his head.

Robin and Amanda waited in peace for Andrew to stop. Lucas was still at the tree drawing with a stick. He was still confused to what is happening and where he was at the moment.
