"So tell me, how's your parents going? Are they fine?" she interrupted the silence and I was thankful about that.

"Colson said dad's in a stable condition and mom is awake." I smiled when I know that she's awake.

"Good to know, I've been praying for them," she said while focusing on the road.

"About Colson..." she added and I quickly looked at her, she looks serious.

"What happened to him?" she asked out of nowhere. Isn't it strange that I should be the one asking it? I mean they're couples so...

"He hadn't sleep and now he's tired." I said looking at Colson at the backseat while sleeping peacefully.

"You know what..." she stopped for a moment and continue.

"D-Do you like him?"

"What? Yes of course he's my big brother," I hysterically laugh. She nodded, I can see at the corner of my eyes that she's up into something I don't know.

"Why would you ask?" I could tell that I'm turning completely red.

She shook her head and smile. "N-Nothing..." I decided to face my body into her.

"What's going on, Ashley? I'm your friend. You can trust me." I said seriously.

"The thing is it's about you and Colson." the tension hyped again.

"What's with me and my brother?" I could sense that she's slowing down the car.

"I want to ask you..." she swallowed.

"I'm not sure about this, but... I feel something strange with you both... The chemistry. If you know what I mean," I laugh at her smoothly to feel comfortable- it feels like this person here beside me is not my friend. Why would she asked this sort of questions? Why wouldn't she just be happy with Colson that they are together?

"Do you mean, the bond between siblings? That's normal, okay?" I said in annoyance, she laugh and it looks stiff like she's being forced.

"Okay, I guess I'm being paranoid again." she decided to turn on the radio and everything went back to normal.

After five minutes, she finally made it to the hospital, before I could open the door, I quickly turned around at her.

"Can I do a favor?" I asked and she nodded. "Yeah, what is it?"

"Can you take home Colson? Just for the return." her eyes brighten, but at the same time it looks dim.

"Okay, sure."

I was a little bit hesitant to open the door, I have my thoughts locked up in me and that's the reason I'm shaking again.

As I opened the door, I saw her. I saw mom sitting beside dad while he is still laying down and eyes closed. Mom didn't have any tubes in her body, unlike dad. It is heartbreaking to watch.

I hugged mom as tears fell into my eyes.

"M-Mom! I missed you." I heard her chuckle in pain. Like she was trying to force herself to laugh just to ease the pain she is feeling right now.

"How about your dad?" I stopped hugging her and faced dad.

"He'll make it out alive." I assure her. Dad's a tough person so I don't have to worry anymore. Although I'm scared for us. Surely I know this is not my fault why they got in this accident, but I'm already blaming myself.

Mom's fine so the doctor decided to take her home for fresh air to breathe.

While packing, I can't stop thinking about her long stitch in forehead that it almost cut out the pace of her forehead, but thankful it is not that deep.

"How's your stitch, Mom? Did you felt pain?" I asked and she shook.

"It doesn't hurt because I didn't feel anything." laugh of what she said. It's a funny answer, I didn't except her to answer it because she was all quiet.

But how can you feel pain when you don't feel it?
