(Wyatts pov!)
I sat there frozen...
I heard sam talking, but I couldnt focus on what she was saying.
All I could think about was what horrible thing I just heard on the phone.
"Wyatt? What is it?" Sam asked, I squeezed her hand.
"Its my sister..... She got hit by a car, and is told to only have a few hours left" I said, about to burst into tears.
"Oh.. Well do you want to go see her?" She asked.
"Yeah.." I said.
"Okay, I'll go ask what room she is in" Sam said, getting up, letting go of my hand.
I sat there in silence, listening to the faint sound of my breathing. I cant believe it, she is the last piece of family I have left. I don't know what I'm going to do.
"She is in room 21, in the ICU" sam said, standing next to me.
"Okay" I said, getting up and grabbing her arm for a little guidance.
"Lets go" she said, as we began making our way to the ICU.
We walked into the room, I saw my sister lying there, she was awake.
"Riley?" I asked, walking over to her.
"Wyatt?!? What happened?!?" She asked, seeing me.
"You got hit by a car.." I said, sitting on the bed.
"Oh.." she said, still a little confused.
"Do you remember?" I asked.
"Not really, all I remember is that I was walking home from work, and then I woke up here" she said.
"Oh" I said, not knowing what to say.
"Wyatt.. I'm sorry" she said.
"For what?, this wasnt your fault" I said.
"Yes it was, after work I went to the bar and got drunk, thats why I don't remember. I must have walked right out into traffic" she said, softly crying.
"Riley, its okay, I forgive you" I said.
"No you dont, you hate me for doing that kind of thing, you just want me to be happy" she said.
"Well yeah what you did was dumb and unsafe, but your still my sister. Your the only family I have, and I dont want you to die with us fighting" I said.
"Okay, love you little bro" she said.
"Love you to Riley" I said, bending down and giving her a awkward hug.
"Is that Sam?" She asked, seeing sam through the window.
"Yeah" I said.
"She's a special one, keep her close" she said.
"She is pretty great" I said, smiling.
"Aww you guys are adorable" she said.
"Yeah" I said, smiling as silent tears rolled down my face.
