_________________________________________
As our honeymoon went on for quite some time. We surely didn't want to leave. But, that day was coming up soon. It was Thursday, we leave on Sunday morning back home. Everything was peaceful, bright and happy. Then an unexpected turn for the worse came. Making my whole world crash down into fire bolts of flames.

It was just David and I. We were enjoying ourselves down at the pool. When I got a pretty distressed phone call from my mom.

Flashback~
" Why can't we just stay here forever?" David says, sighing peacefully as we lay on the pool chairs, underneath the sun umbrella. " Because we have a son back in America." I say, as I sort of chuckle. " Oh yeah. " he replies jokingly.

As we continued to talk, my phone rang from inside my bag. I sat up and rummaged through my purse to get my phone. I look at the caller ID, notifying that my mother was calling. I answered quickly, automatically thinking Emma and Christian had enough of Zachary.

" Hello? " I say, as David watched me from the corner of his eyes. " TYLER!" She shouts into the phone. Once I hear that I knew something was terribly wrong. My mom never says my full name unless it's something bad. " What's wrong? What happened?" I say, sitting up straight as David did as well, trying to listen to the conversation. " Your brother, h-he." She says pausing for a few seconds. At this point i could tell my mom was crying. And I was on the verge because it had to do with my brother. " what's wrong? Mom please tell?!" I say, my voice cracking from me trying not to cry. " He was in an accident. A bad one, he's in critical condition. He may not make it." My mom says, as I let the phone slightly leave my ear, as I started to cry. " I'm on my way, we're getting an early flight. " I say. Before my mom can protest I hang up the phone and get up quick, followed by David. " what's wrong? Is everything ok!" David asks, as him and I hurriedly go get our stuff. " my brother was in an accident. He's in critical condition and they're saying he might not make it. I'm not taking chances David. If, if he dies I need to be there. Nothing is better than being around family. Especially at these times." I say, through the soft tears. All David can do was nod his head and pack his bags as well.
End of flashback~

At this moment we're on a plane. Just another hour and we'll finally be home. David, holds me close, comforting me as I can't even think straight. ' what if we don't make?' ' what if we're too late and he'll go away forever without me saying goodbye' I think. I close my eyes and let my mind take over. Something I haven't done in a long time.

I think of all the good times we had. The laughs, the fights, the comfort and protection he gave me when I was sad or scared. He is the best brother you could ask for. This is the least I can do is be there in that hospital room. Waiting for him to wake up, or let go freely. And even though it may hurt so much to watch him go, but I know I'm gonna have to let go. Even though it will be hard.

My thoughts were interrupted by the flight attendants voice came over in the intercom.
" we will be landing shortly. Please put your seat belts on, and please do not take them off until further notice." She says, as everyone on the plane puts their seat belay on.

Finally we had landed. We took a cab all the way to the hospital. I literally sprinted in, and to the front desk. " Hi I'm here to see Christian Delgado. I'm his sister, and this is my husband." I say hurriedly. " He's in surgery at the moment, but you'll have to wait in the waiting room with his other family members." She says sweetly. But I could tell in her eyes she was pitying me. I could tell she knew what was going on that I didn't. I nod my head and I said a quiet thank you, as David walked with me to the waiting room with the others. His hand was at the small of my back, rubbing lightly for comfort.

" Hey." I said werily, walking in to see Emma with Zachary in her arms, my mom, dad, my step dad, and Christian's friends. " hey sweetheart." My mom says, getting up and giving me a big, comforting hug. She knew Christian and I were very close. Even if we did fight, we'd always somehow make up. " So what happened? Any information on anything? " I ask, as I sit down next to Emma, taking Zachary from her arms so I can see his little chubby face again. " Well, your brother was driving from Nicks house when a car swerved in front of him. They hit each other so hard, that the car flipped over about 4 times, landing in a ditch." My mom says, trying not to cry, but it was obvious she was on the verge. Just by looking at everyone, it looked like they hadn't gotten sleep. Who would? Knowing that your brother might not make it is devastating.

I turned to Emma, seeing that she was the worst of all. Her hair was undone, lips were cracked and dry from lack of hydration. She looked pale, as if she hadn't been outside. She just looked totally drained. I hugged her, making sure not to crush Zachary as I did so. She hugged back, crying lightly in my shoulder. " he'll be o-ok he's strong, I know he'll make it." I say, as I start to cry myself. My mom took Zachary from my arms to have this moment with Emma. I felt David rub my back to calm me a bit. After what felt like forever we finally pulled away. I leaned my head on her shoulder, and she leaned hers on my head, as I hold her hand tightly for her comfort. David took hold of my other hand, to let me know he was here for me as well.

About 3 hours later a doctor came in, asking for me. Surprisingly he had me on the list to be talked to instead of mom and dad. I got up and went out the door for privacy. " i-is he ok? " I ask, afraid of what the answer may be. " The surgery went smoothly, we did everything we had to do but he still hasn't woken up. If he doesn't wake up in 2 months time, I'm afraid we might have to pull the plug." As those words slipped from his mouth my vision blurred and I lost balance. The doctor quickly got me a chair as he sat me down. Pull the plug? That's the worst news. That's killer. Not only for me, but our parents, his friends, Emma. If he doesn't wake up, he'll never see Zachary grow. He won't have a family of his own. " I'll leave you to tell the news to your family. We'll inform you of any other things that may come up, but for now you're welcome to see him. " the doctor says leaving me seated in the empty, dark, and cold hallways that Berber seemed to stop the death that occurs everyday.

As I got the courage to go in and tell them, I stood up and walked in, as everyone got up to hear about the news. " they said the surgery went well. But he's still not awake. T-they said if he doesn't wake up in 2 months time... we're, we're gonna have to pull the plug." I said, trying so hard not to cry. Everyone was devastated. My mother started praying as well as my dad, and step dad. His friends did the same. Emma's hands formed into a goat as she went out the room. " Go to her, I'll watch Zachary. " David assured me, as I smiled and gave home a quick kiss as a thank you and ran after Emma.

" Emma!" I yell speed walking behind her in the parking lot. She ignored as she continued to walk towards the street. I ran up to her and pulled her back to turn to me. " Emma, listen, he'll be fine, ok he's gonna be ok." I said, caressing her face in my hands, making her look into my eyes to show her that she needs to calm. " No! No he won't! Ok. You know, you're parents, even his friends know it! I know it for fucks sakes! I can't live without him! He's the one thing that ever made me feel safe! I knew I shouldn't have gotten close. I knew if something happened I'd break but I couldn't help but let him in. And this is what I get! " she says sitting on the grass part of the curb. I looked at her with tears in my eyes. I bent down to her level and said " I know Emma, I know it hurts. And I know it hurts you even more because you were so close to him. But I was to. Hell, it was him who was there for me when I was in a dark hole. But we have to be strong for him. We have to let God take this course. And even though we may not like the results. At least we know it was for the best. It's hurt, God knows it will. But we need to let him figure out what he wants for Christian. And we need to do our part by putting our faith in God that he will do the right thing." I said, as Emma put her head into her hands in distress. " Now, we go back in there. We're gonna go and we're gonna see him. We're gonna talk to him. Whether he can hear us or not. We talk to him, we tell him to keep going, to use his strength to wake up. Emma, we may feel like the world has crashed and burned, but we need to keep strong not only for ourselves but for him. Thick and through thin. That's what you said. You promised him through sickness and through health. He trusted you with those words. It's your job to attended to them. " I say, as she wipes her tears, as looks at me with a small smile. She pulls me in for a hug and whispers " thank you. You're right. Let's go in and see him. " I smile and we walk back together, with my arm around her.
