The Key To My Heart

Chapter Nine

              Collins POV
                      Three days. It had been the longest three days of my life so far. My little brother was still in a coma, and had showed absolutely no signs of recovering. The doctor had said that if he woke, it probably wouldn't be for a couple months. Leah.....She had been an absolute wreck the last three days. But we were still going ahead with publishing the next video. It was the '10,000 pounds of oobleck in the bathtub' challenge. I chuckled slightly, watching the part where Devan used an axe on the oobleck....And the goop just stopped the axe. Then, I pulled out my camera, and decided to film the next video, but make it really short.

      "What's up, guys? It's Collins Key, and welcome to the Thursday vlog. Now, for today's video....I have some news for you. I know that I promised you guys another sibling tag, but that'd not going to be able to happen for awhile.....or possibly ever. Before you guys flip out and possibly stop watching, please let me explain. As a few of you may already know, about three days ago, Devan, his girlfriend Leah, and I.....the three of us were in a car accident. And Devan.....he took most of the hit. The other guy slammed into the passenger side, and that's where he was sitting. So now, he...." My voice cracked, and I took a deep breath, wiping away some tears. Man, this was hard. I was the only one there, but saying what had happened out loud....it hurt. I didn't wanna lose my baby brother.

       "Devan is in a coma. The doctors don't know when or...or even if he's going to wake up. Leah and I are mostly alright. I've got a broken leg, and her wrist was broken. And we both.....we're still shaken. I'll admit that it's been hard to sleep, thinking about what happened. So...if you guys.....if you all would keep that in mind, it would be appreciated. And if you guys would look on my Instagram and Snapchat, I've got a new hash tag on there, and it's in the description below, as well as in those pictures. It's #WakeUpDevan. So, if you all would show your support and get that trending, that would be huge. And....I personally.....I don't pray much, but if you do pray, please keep him in your prayers. I know this video was short, but I wanted to get the word out about this whole thing. So my next video will be longer, and will have a never-before-seen guest. Thanks for watching." I turned off the camera, and then slammed my fist into the wall, tears pouring down my cheeks. I looked at the picture of Devan, Leah, and me at the park, and each of us sat on a swing, holding a playing card. Devan held a king of hearts, Leah held the queen of hearts, and I had the jack of hearts. Devan had stopped worrying about his lopsided smile ever since he and Leah had started dating, and now, I'd give anything to see him in front of me, that smile on his face.

      "Why him? Why did it have to be him? Why couldn't it be me?" I whispered, dropping onto my bed, tears still pouring down my cheeks. Eventually, I just cried myself to sleep.
